Ristorante Sotto Sotto

I celebrated my birthday dinner at Sotto Sotto, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and elegant—exactly what you’d hope for on a special occasion. The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish was beautifully prepared and bursting with authentic Italian flavors. From the appetizers to the dessert, each bite was perfection. It’s clear that the quality of ingredients and attention to detail are top priorities here. Our server, Spencer, truly went above and beyond to make the evening special. He was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations that elevated the experience even further. Spencer’s warm personality and professionalism added a personal touch that made the night even more memorable. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate my birthday. Thank you, Sotto Sotto, for an amazing evening—I can’t wait to return!

Came for my friends birthday celebrations. Our server was really delightful! I can’t remember his name but he was really great and the food was good. We had such a nice dinner. The atmosphere was really moody and cozy. I only have good things to say. I had the seafood paste which was really tasty . All my friends enjoyed their dishes. And the bartender was really good! They made my negorni perfectly

The restaurant offers a small bar and 2 floors with tables for eating. The service is very good, the staff are nice and the chef is great. The whole atmosphere is very pleasant and overall the restaurant offers you great ambience with good, high-quality food. They have a wide menu with many fresh dishes. especially seafood and pasta variations are highly recommended

We celebrated our anniversary at Sotto Sotto, and the experience was absolutely perfect! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and romantic. The service was flawless—our server was attentive, pleasant, and made excellent recommendations, although I regret forgetting his name. The food was nothing short of spectacular; every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully prepared. It truly made our special night even more memorable. Sotto Sotto has become one of our favorite spots, and we’ll definitely be returning!

My first time visiting Sotto Sotto and I’m impressed. The steak was cooked to perfection ,juicy and full of flavor. The seafood plate was equally impressive, showcasing fresh ingredients and delightful preparation. The fried calamari and shrimp were crispy and well-seasoned, making for a great appetizer. To top it all off, the tiramisu was simply amazing,rich and indulgent. I can't wait to return for another meal! Highly recommended.

What a lovely, homey, space. If you are looking for a well-known hideaway nook, where you can have delicious food with great service, this is your place. The wines are fabulous, the atmosphere is delightful and charming, and the food is top notch. The wait staff are all Italian, which is adorable when they whisper to each other (and you understand every word). They glide through the restaurant caring for each guest with ease. Though asking twice for things at these prices is not my favourite. A few seams showing in the seamless. But it's not a big deal. They could absolutely stand to update their website menu, as it is terribly out of date and inaccurate. It was the reason we chose to eat here, and it turns out they do not, in fact, still have the Bottarga dish on their menu. The clams are still there, but the main attraction is only digital...the print menu on site is up to date, but that hardly helps when you're not IN there, planning. Maybe they'll update it. Though I doubt it. But it is a wee gem of a spot, and the food that we did have was delicious. For my celiacs: they have gluten free pasta, but do NOT get carbonara or cacio e pepe, as these are not gf (they use regular pasta water for the sauces).

Came here for my birthday dinner and the food was absolutely delicious! The gnocchi was my favourite. Great interior vibes, and definitely busy for a reason. The service was fast and efficient. Would for sure come back!

Nice little restaurant in downtown Toronto. Definitely gives you an elevated Italian fine dining experience. They have a good selection of wines and cocktails to choose from and the wait staff is quite knowledgeable about the menu and drink pairings. Make sure you call ahead to book your table, they are pretty busy. For apps we ordered the deep fried shrimp and calamari and mussels. The mussels were supposed to be spicy but were not. They were cooked in a white wine based sauce but other than that there was little flavour. The calamari was excellent as was the sauce it paired with. For our mains, we had the angel pasta with shrimp and arugula and the seafood linguine. Both dishes were well cooked. Shrimp, scallops and calamari are things that can be so easily overdone but that wasn’t an issue at all. We had a Prosecco with dinner. For dessert, we had an Americano and their flourless chocolate mousse cake. Very rich and moist. Served as a generous slice with white chocolate cravings. The only thing I did not enjoy was the seating. It is very jammed in there. Waiters literally have to squeeze by and that tight packed arrangement makes dinner conversation difficult. I’m not sure if it’s different downstairs as we were seated upstairs but that was not an aspect I enjoyed. But the food is great and the wait staff is friendly and attentive.
