It's a nice experience here. So unforgettable swordfish and sea bass, and beef, I just can't wait next time here!

Would of liked to explore this place....I seldom post negative reviews. But we were told there's no room for my family and I ( 2 adults, 4 kids) because they don't have the space. Then when we agreed to separate and have separate seating because the kids were hungry, he said the chef was gonna complain because it was to hot and they just opened. Yes it's a quite a small place and the ambiance appeared palatable. But they missed out on a massive bill....as my family and I spend $$$$'s on such places....along with generous tips. Next time, please don't be prejudiced against foreigners.....because it appeared that way. read more

What a gem. Sotto Sotto is located in a cellar with vaulted ceilings. The bar area was comfortable and inviting. The dining area was lovely, a bit loud due to the stone and shape of the room, but again lovely. I really enjoyed looking at the architecture and wondering what went on in this storage space throughout the history of Bath. The atmosphere is pure Italian. The service was warm, attentive and fun. Everyone we came in contact with was friendly and intent on providing us with a great experience. The menu had house specialties, pasta, risotto and pizza. The bread is made fresh each day and absolutely delicious. I enjoyed every bite of my starter and dinner. I even enjoyed some of my husband's dinner as well. I truly recommend a visit to Sotto Sotto. Attire: Casual to Business Casual. I think as long as you look 'put together' you will feel comfortable. read more

We came here due to visiting Bath. My friend and I just have finished 12-day trip in Italy and we came to this restaurant today, but we are still very impressed with the cuisines. Honestly it is even much better than many restaurants we have tried in Italy. I am sure that no one will be disappointed by Sotto Sotto. Also, all of the staffs are very friendly, considerate and helpful. The price is a bit over our budget but it worth what we've spent!! Wish I can go there again in the future!! read more

Having researched this place on Yelp, we decided this was just what needed after a long day. Tried calling to confirm it was open - no answer. We decided to walk over. Down the poorly-lit stairs, we were greeted by a waiter who informed us they were full and unlikely to have any openings. This was disappointing, but surprising as I could see empty tables. As we exited, the waiter then snarked that we should have made reservations. I went back in to say that I had tried, but no one answered. He said "people just need to try and try to get through. And really reservations should be made weeks in advance." Perhaps that is how long it takes to reach them. read more

On a recent trip to the UK, we were en route to Bath and looking for a place for post-tourism dinner. I turned to yelp and found the glowing reviews. Made an early reservation for 3 (with DD). After a wonderful day of soaking up the lovely town of Bath, we descended into Sotto Sotto. What a gem! The atmosphere is the first thing you notice. An intimate basement cavern where much of the lighting comes from candles, but still adequate to see, it is a romantic setting even with (well-behaved) child in tow. The food is absolutely wonderful--had the carbonara, wife had the lasagne, DD had the personal pizza. The service is a complete standout--you will not find more solicitous service in the UK, period. Finally, the prices are unbelievably reasonable, particularly for the UK. On our return to our B&B at the end of the evening, our innkeeper confirmed our impression of Sotto Sotto--he said it really is *the* Italian place in Bath right now. If you find yourself in Bath with a taste for wonderful Italian cuisine and desire a sublime dining experience, ring up Sotto Sotto, definitely. read more

Amazing Italian restaurant in the Italy-like city! Probably the best Italian food outside Italy. Loved the seafood pasta. Also, very nice staff. Good location -- right in the city center. The interior is great! read more

Yelp can be sometimes misleading in places like the UK where the user base is limited, however, this restaurant lives up to its reputation. Lamb rack was exceptional. Rarely do you find a restaurant that cooks meat/steak to the extent where you know you can't easily replicate it at home by yourself. This is one of those places. The bomboloni dessert was excellent with its crisp and light lemon custard. Service was exceptional - professional and vigilant at all time. It could be a bit snobby but in a nice and warm way. They are very honest with their soft drink prices - it was not on the menu and we didn't ask but the charges came out really reasonable - a great news for people who don't drink alcohol! read more

Great place , food delicious and spectacular service atmosphere highly recommend

My favourite restaurant in Bath. Delicious food, gorgeous wines and impeccable service. Would highly recommend.

The food is first class, the service is even better. It always has a personal feel which is rare these days. Anyone thinking of going here, should without a moments hesitation. Me and my partner love it here. The prices are excellent and the atmosphere is great! Words can't describe how good this place is! read more

An absolute delight! Great food, great location and friendly service! Make sure you book weeks in advance and mention that you don´t want to sit in the back room. I once booked at table for four 8 weeks in advance for a Tuesday night and got the last table from a two-day range in the back. read more

As Americans visiting from the San Francisco Bay area, Sotto Sotto is as close as it gets to North Beach in SF. Right on in fact. I had a wonderful warm salad with finoicchi and excellent salmon pasta. My wife ordered the calamari starter which was perfect with it's aioli sauce, a spring salad, and a very good seafood pasta. Prosecco and Chianti were fine. We finished with a Tiramisu as good as any I ever had in North Beach. All wait staff are the genuine Italian article. Five stars! read more

What a fabulous meal at Sotto Sotto. I made reservations only three weeks ago over email...I am told that I was quite lucky I wanted a weekday...weekends are booked months in advance. It's this cool underground (literally) restaurant just off the main square of Bath. I highly recommend dinner here. I had the pepper and sausage chicken, my husband and daughter had the steak and my other daughter had the orecchiette with spinach and sausage (simple but delish) and all of us enjoyed our dishes immensely. The wines are interesting, reasonably priced and quite good. Our server recommended a lovely Italian bottle. Be sure to save room for the homemade gelato and sorbetto! You won't be sorry! read more

This place is hands down the best food we've had in Bath, and some of the best pasta I've ever had. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was incredibly unique. Cheers to the friendly staff! read more

We got the special chicken strips with italian sausage, finished with balsamic vinegar and rosemary and other herbs.. this was just so amazingly good... the papardelle ragout with wild boar meat also great with pellujo cheese cheesy tomato sauce... highly recommend.. not to mention the cave like decor... read more

They were all booked up when we went, but the interior of the restaurant looked really neat, like a secret underground with dim lighting. The host was very friendly, gave us a card and told us to come back for a tasting which usually has more availability. read more

I can't find a fault in anything about this place! The staff are incredible. The restaurant itself is a cave-like space, which seems to be situated underneath the road above. I noticed a tiny window near our table, and realised it must be looking out onto bath park. Food was amazing. Prawns to start and risotto of the day. So tasty! We got Pinot grigi wine which was lovely and light. Can't wait to go back! read more

The food here is exceptional and the service superb. This is one of my all time favorite restaurants. The food is on a par with the best in Italy, and is far superior to what we see in most Italian restaurants in the US. You will have a memorable meal here. read more

Absolutely fantastic experience and meal, and at a great value. Our waiter, Simone, was friendly, accommodating and offered great conversation. The food was delicious. The bruschetta was one big piece piled high with garlicky tomatoes, lamb was perfectly cooked, pasta with seafood was lightly coated in red sauce and not drowning in sauce, and panda cotta was a perfect finish to the meal. This is in a 300 year old building and is a wonderful atmosphere. Do note that they do not serve food at the bar and do not offer takeaway service. read more

Words will not do justice to how much we enjoyed Sotto Sotto. The most incredible food with the most engaging and pleasant staff! Our server, Alessandro, was spectacular. This will be at the top of my list next time I go to Bath. read more

Fabulous place! Great food and service was amazing. I live in NYC so use to good service. The staff were brilliant

This restaurant is perfect! I love every dish there and very good service ! I really want to visit again. Can't believe it's only 60 reviews, people in Bath don't use yelp ? read more

Everything was perfect. Thank you Carlos and Manuel. Amazing space and amazing food.

Tucked in under the old houses of Bath, lies a charming little restaurant called sotto sotto. Seemingly fashioned out of old wine cellars, and lit by sufficient yet subtle lighting on its walls, sotto sotto proved itself a wonderful dining place. If one reserves a place to have dinner in the restaurant, they will be treated to wonderful selection of dishes from soup of the day, to roast rack of the lamb, to a potful of tiramisu - all of which are delectable. The waiters, all clad in charming suits and wits, will provide all they can in making you feel both important and at home. Long story short, sotto sotto is a MUST when one heads down to Bath. read more

Just perfect in every aspect. The best Italian restaurant I have visited in the past year. The food is outstanding and the interior decorations is a perfect match for the food. The waiters are very nice and polite. I will definitely visit again before leaving bath. read more

I lived in England (Oxford) for a year and this was truly the best meal and by far the best service I've had in all of my time there! Lovely setting, reasonable prices, fantastic food, a great wine list, and attentive and friendly staff. I had lunch there with my parents who also loved the place. We were lucky to get in without a reservation, but I would recommend reserving to ensure you can get a table! read more

FANTASTIC Visited for lunch, beautiful building, wonderful food. The highlight for us was the staff and their Italian charm. Will be back for more read more

The owners are in love with their food and passionately recommend things. Very cozy and food is stellar. Service is slow.

After seeing the reviews and the pictures from this place, we decided to splurge a little. We were lucky to get in when another group cancelled, and damn was that lucky! The food is absolutely delicious- the tuna carpaccio was the best tuna I've ever eaten, hands down. Everything was good. The service was stupendous, and we chatted with the owner before we left. It was very welcoming, and the venue is awesome- it's an old laundry cellar under the street, with all the original stonework and an arched ceiling. To top it off, our three course, white-linen meal only came to 54 GBP (no drinks). I would happily have paid more, it was well worth it! read more

Should be one of the most exquisitely designed restaurants with best-quality food which I've been to. Bath is the first town I will recommend you to visit in England, and Sotto Sotto is the first restaurant I will recommend you to dine at in Bath. read more

Great service and food. This place does have a posh feel to it and sometimes the waiters seem to over do it on the friendliness and service. I constantly felt I was being watched as I ate or drank but of course that meant when your drink needs to be refilled or you are ready for the check they know instantly. The food was excellent, and we visited for a friend's birthday and they made that really special. Definitely visit here if you want good food and attentive if not sometimes over attentive service. read more

Bad food and very rude service. Terrible waste of good atmosphere. Very snooty people. They seem to only treat people who look like big money with any dignity. Had to give the host 50 pounds to give us a table. Insulting! read more

Great experience, starting with the quaint ambience and decor. Good range of wines on offer. Menu has a good selection of seafoods and a few non-seafood dishes. All 4 seafood mains were tasty and enjoyable.. Well worth the visit, and worth a revisit. read more

After descending the steep stairs down to Sotto Sotto, you are greeted and led into a beautiful cellar restaurant, lit to accentuate the arches and bare stone walls. The menu is out and out Italian with a good selection of antipasta, pasta and secondi. I started with the chicken liver bruschetta which was served warm and full of flavour. My main of mixed grilled fish was so generous I couldn't finish all of it. To conclude I had "Tuscan tea and biscuits", vin santo and biscotti. Service was attentive with the waiter offering plenty of advice over what to choose. Sotto Sotto is a great addition to the restaurants of Bath. read more

Superb. Great location with a relaxed atmosphere. We visited there for dinner. From the moment we arrived the staff were truly excellent and very attentive without being overpowering. A true skill in itself. Every course we had was excellent. Definitely worth a visit.... If you can get a table that is. They are booked up 6-8 weeks in advance for a Friday or Saturday. After our visit I can see why. read more
