Ooooh this place is a dream! The outdoor (enclosed) patio in the winter isn't just a last resort reservation option, it should be your TOP destination. It's cozy, (plenty warm) and romantic! It was 32 degrees outside, but completely comfortably warm, inside. You truly wouldn't know you weren't inside. Any way, I've eaten my way through Inman Park but somehow hadn't yet indulged in the delectable Sotto Sotto. This might just be my new favorite Italian in Atlanta. It was absolutely delicious. Across the table (thanks to the half portion option), we tried at least 8 items on the menu! Each one was more special then the next. Our incredible server Kagen (sp?) walked us through each section of the menu absolutely perfectly. As a result we ended up ordering some of his favs from across the menu. In my photos you can see what we ordered, but my recommendation is to simply ask your server what they like and you'll undoubtably get something stellar. In a market of many, great Italian options, Sotto Sotto might just be the BEST and my new fav!!! I absolutely can't wait to return. read more

Food:10/10 Ambiance:10/10 Service:-0/10 This place was amazing the food and atmosphere created an amazing experience for my group ,... However the server we had tonight was one of the worst experiences I've had especially for a place that is trying to sell an upscale dining environment he greeted the table by saying (after we asked how he was doing) "I'm doing f-ing horrible I'm tired and feel like sh*t we had such a busy night last night" he was not very knowledgeable about menu or drinks and his overall appearance gave very much unhygienic he also forgot to put in our food order so we waited double the time and said that since we already had appetizers and the other table did not have any food that we could wait to order food, also just assumed how someone in my group wanted there steak cooked so had to wait for that to be redone, he was all over the place and did not check in on us very often we needed things like refills or salt pepper etc. and went without because bad service I don't think he should have been working he obviously did not want to be there he also failed to mention that the kitchen was closing so we did not get to try the desserts. There were a couple of other things but don't want a 5 page review I cannot remember his name but a taller white guy with a messy bun and tired eyes. We still left a tip because that's what you do when you go out but if he treated his other tables like he did us I wouldn't be surprised if we were the only ones that tipped. I suggest not going on a busy night to get good service I guess. My group was 4 ppl 2 couples trying to enjoy a nice double date without the craziness of v-day next time we will celebrate days before. Will for sure be going back and hope you give them a try but if that's how the waiter greets himself please go ahead and ask for a different server!!!! read more

Talk about one of the best meals ever! The entire experience was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere is very sincere and swanky. The service was also amazing. The food blew us away. The menu is primarily in Italian with English descriptions underneath. The Carpaccio di Manzo (beef carpaccio) was full of flavor. The charcuterie board was full of various meets and cheese that were flavorful. The smoked burrata was a perfect combination of flavors. The pastas are all made in house and there is no wrong decision on a meal. We all ordered multiple different pasta dishes and tried each others. There was easily no plate left with food over. Truly one of the best pasta and Italian meals I have ever had! read more

We were starving and hadn't made reservations anywhere for dinner, so we rode our bikes down the beltline and just decided to try our luck somewhere in Inman Park. There happened to be two open seats at the bar when we arrived, so we snagged those. The bartender was slow to greet us, which I found surprising seeing as the bar is small and she didn't seem to be in the weeds. She also wasn't super friendly, but I guess that's kind of the norm these days unfortunately. We ordered a Caesar Salad to split - it was nothing special. Which I now find strange after dining at Fritti since they are sister restaurants and every time I have had the Caesar at Fritti it's been great. We ordered the Tortelli di Michelangelo Buonarroti and Lasagnette alla Bolognese for dinner. The bartender said that the Tortelli was a wonderful choice but when it arrived it was 10 sad little meat-filled pouches. The Lasagnette, however, was delectable. I would order this over and over again. Another semi-annoying thing was that it got to be uncomfortably hot over the course of our dinner. Being hot and eating hot food isn't the best. Anyway, if I had to come back, it wouldn't to be by choice. read more

Loved this little Italian place in Inman park. Really cute inside standard upscale ambiance. The paper on the tables gives old school Italian but meets more upscale. The artichoke spaceship or whatever was like a paper plane and I loved it. The Negroni is also good. The tortilli was delicious with the sage butter and the chicken was absolutely delicious. That'sDessert the have their take on tiramisu which was great, their Nutella cocktail could benefit from a double strain. Our server was admittedly new and that was sweet. I will be back. That is for sure. read more

Had date night here a little while ago and we loved it! We had a reservation so we were seated right away. There was a pretty moderate sized crowd for a Monday night, so I'm glad we had the reservation. The food was very good, as well as the service (I wish I could remember her name because she was fantastic). The inside of the restaurant was very nice as well, very clean. We will definitely be back. read more

We had an absolutely delicious meal with really solid service. The meat salad was delicious. The Caesar salad was good, but not great. The Paccheri Alla Calabrese and the pappardelle with duck ragu were both phenomenal. Nudi was delicate and so yummy. Only complaint: our meal took us over 2 hours even though we had a small party. It was lovely and leisurely...but it also meant that valet parking was $10 (even with validation). read more

Sotto Sotto is a cozy Italian restaurant that is kind of hidden. It can be easy to miss as there is no flashy sign, but upon entering the restaurant, the vibes are quite immaculate. Most people dining look like they are dressed for a classy event (I was not). It does get quite busy, so I would recommend booking a reservation if possible. The service was quite good as well. My boyfriend and I were excited to try the food because of the ambiance of the restaurant. To start off, we got the Antipasto Misto which came with some good cured meat, cheese, olives, and mushrooms. All of this paired well with the complimentary bread and olive oil. However, we were really let down by our entrees, which took a while to come out. We ordered the Linguine alle Vongole e Bottarga and Paccheri alla Calabrese. My boyfriend said the Linguine alle Vongole e Bottarga had no taste. I tried it and it tasted very clam-y if anything, but I could not taste the olive oil or garlic that was supposedly part of the dish. My Paccheri alla Calabrese tasted like a pasta with tomato sauce and no other seasoning. Maybe I should have asked for more parmesan cheese, but I was not impressed. I really wanted to like this restaurant, but the food was average to me. I would consider coming here again in the far future. read more

LOCATION: It's kind of hard to see the sign out front but it's right next door to FRITTI PIZZA on NORTH HIGHLAND AVENUE. PARKING: There is only street parking and it gets busy during peak times like dinner or weekends. AMBIANCE: Fancier, fine-dining place. White table cloths. I walked in with workout clothes since I was walking the beltline and still sat at a table which they had no issue with. Even though I was not dressed appropriately for this place! My apologies. SERVICE: I wish I could remember my servers name, she was AMAZING! Will come back and hope she serves me again. FOOD: Great food! I want to come back to try more options. Highly recommend for a fancier date night! One super cool thing they do is serve HALF PORTIONS of their pasta! So if you don't eat as much or want to try more options it's such a great option they have, absolutely love it! $13 STROZZAPRETI ALLA SALSICCIA (half order): Personally didn't love this type of pasta. I'd try something else next time. Came with a ragu meat sauce. $32 POLLETTO AL LIMONE: this chicken was AMAZING!!! I highly recommend. It's so juicy and tender on the inside and very crispy on the skin/outside. The garlic spinach served with it was TO DIE FOR! Loved everything on this dish. PANNA COTTA: it was OK, I'd pass on this one. Just plain with a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar. read more

I'm literally unsure if I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of my food or I was so excited to eat and I forgot to take a picture of my food. I came here for my birthday. I'm surprised it was my first visit because I love pasta and I love the Virginia Highlands area. But it was an amazing experience. I came out on Friday evening. I had a reservation for two. Was that at the bar had a glass of wine on your table to be ready. We said I cannot remember our servers name, but I wish I did because she was so knowledgeable of the menu and talk us through our whole ordering experience. I ordered a appetizer of muscles. My boyfriend ordered the smoked cheese to accompany our bread. I believe this pictured in my review. We both ended up ordering half portions of pasta. I ordered the Alfredo with shrimp and a mushroom pasta both were to die for. My boyfriend ordered a ravioli and he ordered lasagna . Naturally, I tasted his food and it was good as well. We sat in the interior part in the garden area the lighting the ambience is very pretty. The restaurant is intimate There's definitely a romantic vibe about the restaurant. The kitchen has a window; so it's sort of like an open kitchen concept. I'm surprised there isn't a waitlist going out for how good food was and how much I enjoy myself. I was also brought out pistachio gelato./ice cream for my dessert. It was a really good birthday dinner and I really enjoyed myself read more

Wow! What a night. This restaurant has been consistently one of our favorites. We've been going to this restaurant since the 1990's. Almost always we have loved this restaurant. The service was off and the food was not up to par. It was as if there was no management in the restaurant this night. Normally, operations run smoothly. While pouring wine into a glass, the waiter knocked over another open bottle and a glass of water on our daughter's lap soaking her pants, sweater, and splashing her shirt. The hostess came over with a cloth moistened with club soda -ha! Only a dry cleaner could hope to salvage this. No apologies from the waiter and nothing ever mentioned again. Not one word. No one offered to pay for her dry cleaning bill. We soaked it up best we could and asked for new napkins to put under shirt. They didn't even offer to comp dessert. Has us reconsidering our choices. Just wow. Disappointing. read more

after the struggle of finding parking ... you will not regret coming here. My husband and I came as soon as they opened. Indoor seating is very dark so we chose to sit outside. It is roofed but they also have open windows. If it is cold they also have those tall heater lamps. We got 3 dishes to try different ones and share. It was all 10/10 but if I HAD to choose my favorite, it would be the Mushroom Risotto. OH MY GAWD WAS IT SOOOO DELICIOUS. Service was all super amazing. There's plenty of seating outside, inside, and at the bar. I would definitely be back for date night. read more

Fabulous dining experience! It is a truly beautiful restaurant with multiple different dining areas both indoor and outdoor. They accommodated our large group of 8 well and were wonderful with our 8 month old daughter (provided a high chair and bread for her to gnaw on throughout the dinner). Service was great and the food even better. We started with a charcuterie board and mussels. Both were great for sharing. For our meals we got a range of pastas including the lasagna, duck ragu, browned butter ravioli and mushroom tagliatelle. All were delicious but the deconstructed lasagna was special and a true wow first bite. I would not miss this dish. A fabulous experience that I would recommend to all! read more

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and it was great. He absolutely loved the food, the atmosphere was warm and cozy (I love the jazz music they play in the background), and our server was very nice & knowledgeable. My only complaints are they're definitely on the pricy side and there's no free parking (and they don't validate). It's also very tight seating on the inside so I recommend sitting on their patio. But if you're craving Italian this is definitely the place to go. Side note... I was debating between two pasta dishes and my waiter told me they could do half and half of each. That sounded wonderful so I did it and then found out once the check came that it's an additional cost to do so. He never told me that when he recommended splitting the dish. So just keep that in mind. I was upset he didn't tell me beforehand because I wouldn't have done it. read more

I came here for my birthday dinner. Out of the lists of Italian restaurants, I landed on Sotto Sotto because of one specific dish. The Costoletta arlla Parmagiana. Yes, sign me up! Getting here wasn't too bad, but the parking was kind of confusing. If you're looking to park for yourself, there's a parking lot that you can park by yourself and the restaurant is right across the street. The street is off of Elizabeth St NE. So, I would definitely recommend to just park in that parking lot as it's easier than driving around and finding street parking. The restaurant doesn't validate parking, so keep that in mind. You will pay on the way out. The other option is parking valet, which is personal preference. The amount of walking in comparison is really not a huge distance. Walking in, it's a very cozy type of experience and atmosphere. The kitchen is small,they have a patio seating and also inside. There was a lot of staff when I visited. We ordered the charcuterie for starters. It was alright, I don't think it was worth the price as I think you could make a better charcuterie by buying meats and cheeses from Costco. It was just 3 tiny pieces of cheese, some mushrooms (which were the most flavorful), and a few meats. Also, the bread was limited as well, I didn't ask for more because I felt as if it would have been extra charge. For my main, as I said before, I got the Costoletta arlla Parmagiana. It's a breaded pan fried veal and then on top a tomato sauce along with some mozzarella. Yeah, if you can picture it, then you can taste it. It was good. It had flavor every bite, and it was filling. I would definitely recommend this dish if you're not looking to eat pasta. For dessert, we ordered their version of Tiramisu, the Dolce Al Mascarpone. It was alright. I think it was a bit small, and it was mostly all cream. Again, it doesn't beat a good tiramisu, but it wasn't bad. Overall, Sotto Sotto wasn't a bad experience. I enjoyed my main dish, however I think they fell flat for me when it came to the appetizer and the dessert. I did also get to try the clams that my wife was, and that was alright. I didn't have any of her pasta though so I can't say anything to that. read more

The charcuterie board we got was not really worth it, especially the cheese portions and we got like 3 slices of bread to share. For my main, I had the linguine alle vongole (clams). I was a little bit disappointed in the dish, the pasta was a bit chewy and dry but the clams were good and not sandy. I got to try the veal parmigiana which was definitely the better dish of the night. We shared the dolce al mascarpone. We assumed that it would be similar to a tiramisu. However, the spices amaretti cookies layers were minimal (vs the typical ladyfingers in a tiramisu). It was a definitely a lighter dessert option. read more

Took myself out for a solo date and tried Sotto Sotto for the first time. The experience was amazing! I started out with the mussels, paired with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and the house bread. It was a great start to the meal. The mussels were well seasoned and I wanted to drink the broth like soup. Thankfully I had the delicious and fresh bread to dip in it. Next I got the Caesar salad. It was great, but I felt a bit overdressed. For my main course, I got the Tortelli di Michelangelo. I came specifically for this dish. It reminded me of my favorite dish from Oakland, CA's Belotti Bottega. The meat-filled ravioli paired with the buttery, sage sauce was amazing! I will be back for this again! I finished the meal with the Affogato Supreme, with pistachio gelato, espresso and a liquor (don't remember the kind.) It wasn't my favorite, but I would try again without the liquor. Overall, amazing atmosphere, great food and the service was impeccable. It's a perfect place for a solo date as you can chill and enjoy the jazz music. Definitely give it a try. read more

This place has been in my top favorite list of restaurants but after this past weekend. I need to revisit my list and adjust accordingly. I took a friend for her birthday and we were greeted with a warm smile and seated promptly. The waiter was cordial and I confirmed or asked him if there was a limit on the time that we could spend there. He said no; however, it seemed differently from what he said. We were talking and he kept interrupting our conversation. He kept asking if we were good and if the food was good. It seemed as we were being rushed because they had more people waiting because of the Ohio vs. ND game. The food was amazing as always but my food was a bit cold and I am not sure if we slowed them down with the charcuterie board or the weather was a lot colder than normal. Regardless, I wish that my food was a bit hotter. The ambiance as always, very welcoming and elegant. I am giving 4 stars because of the cold dinner and because we were being rushed. I can say that the waiter did give my party a dessert with a candle even when we did not want any. We appreciated that very much. read more

Having frequented Fritti, Sotto Sotto's sister restaurant, countless times over the years, I finally tried Sotto Sotto for a friend's birthday on a slow Sunday night. The ambiance inside was great, with moody lighting and decor that would make for a romantic date night. They also have an outdoor patio filled with plants, which I'm excited to try as the weather cools down. Our server was friendly, providing recommendations and answering all our questions. To start our meal, we were given fresh bread and olive oil. For my entree, I ordered the Paccheri alla Calabrese, a pasta dish with a tomato Calabrian chili sauce and burrata, and it was really great. To top everything off, since we were celebrating a birthday, they brought us a complimentary cranberry cake. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Sotto Sotto! read more

Hands down some of the best Italian cuisine that I've ever had. I was here for a birthday dinner, and the service was on point from beginning to end. We were given a complete explanation of the menu, with multiple people taking care of our wine pours. The food was perfectly portioned, with just enough to make you content. If you looking to over indulge then you won't get that with these meals. The outdoor patio area was also very beautiful and had heating provided. I will definitely be back here to experience this again. read more

A solid spot for Italian in Atlanta! I ordered the Tortelloni ai Carciofi which was good. Not too heavy of a pasta dish. Definitely tasty but not completely blown away. I adore Novo Cucina (the owner's other restaurant), and I wanted to love Sotto Sotto too as it is the closer location. However, I still think Novo is better. Other dishes I have tried at Sotto Sotto include: the Risotto Agli Asparagi, Fettuccine Alfredo, Tagliatelle alle Tre P (when it was at Novo), and the Strozzapreti alla Salsiccia (priest stranglers). I like the Tre P, and the Alfredo was also good. Nothing blew me away though quite like Novo's Tagliatelle ai Funghi. Service was good. Our waiter was knowledgable about the items and helped us decide what to order. Parking is a bit hard to find. We valeted but wanted to walk around the shops nearby before dinner. So, we got there a bit early, but though Sotto Sotto validates parking, it didn't cover the full duration we were there for. read more

Jimmy walked over to my table and proceeded to tell me that if I ordered something else and didn't like it I would still have to pay for it.

I've heard great things about the French toast here, and they were telling the truth! Location and Parking Located in Inman Park, there is a free parking deck about a block away. Venue and Atmosphere True to it's name ("hush hush" in Italian) the door blends in with the facade and is framed by ivy crawling the walls. We booked a table on the patio, which I highly recommend. The patio is completely covered and the atmosphere is serene. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Food and Beverages The charcuterie board is delicious and surprisingly filling. The lasagnette was absolutely wonderful and flavorful: pasta cooked perfectly, good balance of meat and sauce, well seasoned. My partner had the branzino and reported it was seasoned and cooked well. I had a dessert which was layers of cookies and mousse (don't recall the name of it" but it was a light finish to a hearty meal. I had a rose wine, which was an excellent choice from their expansive, but not too overwhelming wine list. Verdict I'll be back! read more

I got the center cut veal with the mushroom sauce. It was fantastic!! The noise level was perfect. I didn't have to heal or speak louder than normal to hear the person across from me. Our waiter was nice and tentative. I would go again if someone asked me. Kinda expensive so maybe not an every-week place but a date night or a holiday type of place. read more

Fantastic meal with my colleagues. We made reservations that day and we were sat pretty quickly upon arriving. It was a large party so we had to stand outside for a little but it wasn't the worst. Inside they sat us upstairs in this balcony area which had a nice private feel to it. The food options were broad and it was hard to choose which is always a good thing. I ended up going with the wild mushrooms dish and I added shrimp to give it a bit more oomph. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the wines were outstanding as well. Check it out if you're in the ATL area! read more

A delightful, intimate Italian restaurant with great drinks, service and food. We came on a double date and sat in the front room - it is a bit cramped especially on a Saturday night but bonus is that you can get a last minute reservation. The cocktail list is on the shorter side but you can order anything off the menu. We got a variety of appetizers, sides and main dishes - standouts were the lasagna and branzino which they prepared in the kitchen. The charcuterie board was, like most restaurants, interesting but not the biggest bang for our buck. We will surely be back. read more

We went here for dinner with a reservation at 8:30 for 4 people. We were immediately greeted by the hostess who had us wait to the side for our table to be ready. There wasn't much room inside to stand and wait and it was fairly busy we had to wait near the bar. We got seated at 9 and our server April was absolutely incredible. She was so helpful and friendly, she was absolutely on top of our service and made sure we had everything we needed. She gave us recommendations for food and drinks which were spot on. The only reason I'm taking away 1 star is because the food and drinks did take a while to come out which understandably so because of how busy it was. Can't say enough good things about April though! read more

Absolutely amazing...food,ambience,service and more. Our server was Carlos and he was spectacular. Very patient with our table of 6. Everything we ordered was full of flavor and Absolutely mouthwatering. The beef carpaccio was delicious and the capers gave it the perfect salt...the mussles were amazing and that was just the appetizers. From the lasagna to the veal chop...the fish to a simple bolognese and pasta. This was our 1st time but it wouldn't be my last. We are local to Augusta and came for a graduation and this was the perfect spot. The hostess was kind enough to hear my dilemma with my truck and having to grab a taxi to get to dinner. Everyone was very nice and I would highly recommend this restaurant. Hands down. read more

Unfortunately it just wasn't that good. The food looked way better than it tasted. I ordered the Strozzapreti alla Salsiccia and the texture was like it didn't finish cooking. Weirdly hard and chewy. Our server only checked on us to ask if we wanted boxes so I sucked it up and ate what I could. Tasted my friends food - he said the Linguine del Pescatore tasted better than he expected but I thought it was really fishy. We did come in at about 9:45 but left before closing (11 pm). I know to some it may have been late but I still expected more. There's definitely better Italian and pasta in Atlanta. read more
