Great Italian place in a neighborhood crawling with Italian restaurants. Every time I come to Soto Voce, I wonder why I waited so long to go back. Food is always excellent, with really great housemade pasta, and service makes you feel like a regular each time you walk through the door. Don't fill up on the bread, even though it's fantastic! read more

I ate here by myself on a Sunday night. Dining solo can be tricky, especially for relatively young or relatively old (me) women, but I felt completely comfortable throughout. I ordered an artichoke heart appetizer that was delicious, and a main course of linguine with frutti di mare, which was even better. I had meant to take some of both home for later but they were so good I ate all of both dishes, which I regretted later. Too full! Especially since I also had a complimentary lemon sorbet and excellent decaf coffee. Truly the best meal I've had in years! The restaurant is quite spacious, more so because it was less than half full. The decor is comfortable, as are the staff at all levels. Good for a special occasion or, like for me, just a treat for no reason. read more

Every few years (it has been many many years) my friends take me back to this restaurant and the food just keeps getting better! I haven't lived in Park Slope for 10 years but remember when there weren't a lot of good restaurants there. This one has always been a fave. Love the bruschetta for an appetizer! I notice that the bad reviews are for takeout. Don't get takeout. Eat in, relax and let them fees you. If you don't like the lasagna you ordered, they will fix you right up. read more

A special celebration deserves a special dining experience! This park slope gem has been here for 25 years! This is a restaurant we have frequented over the years and tonight we went all out - wine, appetizers, main dish and dessert - at the end the owner surprised us with a complimentary after dinner drink and a lemon sorbet! We started with an artichoke hearts and clams oreganato appetizer then lasagna and shrimp and fettuccine as our main dishes I had my all time fav Italian cheesecake and my boyfriend had the pear tart with homemade hazelnut gelato - everything was absolutely DELICIOUS!! Wow that hazelnut gelato!!The restaurant was fairly quiet with soft music playing in the background which is a nice change and made for a relaxing evening Our meal was on the pricey side this evening but as I said we went all out - drinks, appetizers, entree , coffee and deserts I highly recommend this very special neighborhood Italian restaurant and hope it remains a neighborhood staple for many years to come! read more

If you want a lovely experience this is the place to go!! We went and felt so cared for and like we had every opportunity to get the best meal we could ever imagine. I got the creamy pesto and he got the special seafood pasta- I only wish I had more money to spend on the beautifully curated specials menu that encapsulates fresh ingredients and a true Italian flavor in America. The service is phenomenal and I would highly recommend their sparkling water! read more

First time, quick dinner. Atmosphere was cute but cramped as it was one fairly large dining room. It was nearly filled when we arrived. The menu was diverse including daily specials. Dishes going by looked pretty good. A bread basket with a sundried tomato tapenade was brought to the table. Service was satisfying with water glasses refilled frequently. The waiter offered prompt and courteous service. We both ended up ordering from the pasta category--the Cavatelli with Spinach Pesto topped with ricotta and the Rigatoni Siciliana (with red tomatoes and roasted eggplant). Although both meals were leaning towards delicious, I preferred the Cavatelli. The misstep with my dish was that the pasta was way too al dente. My fault since I should have sent it back, but i was in a time crunch. The overall flavors were good, but I felt the entire meal gave me indigestion for a while. I would return to give it another try. read more

One of the most delicious places I have visited in Brooklyn (living here for over 20 years now) stellar service and amazing food. We were greeted by a lovely young girl and given menus. All waiters were super duper welcoming and attentive. We ordered fried calamari/zucchini and eggplant parmigiana for starters, that eggplant is still on my mind and I can't wait to go back to eat again, I wish the portion was bigger next time I'll order double. For main my husband had chicken parm with spaghetti side pasta and mine was fetucini with shrimp, the chicken parm was OUTSTANDING! I barely ever order this dish because it's huge hit or a miss and most of the time a miss but here they make soooooo delicious and fresh we finished all our plates, and they're tomato sauce is best I have ever had. Desserts were Tortufo and Pear Tart with hazelnut gelato, so yummy! Followed by complimentary ports! Waiters were constantly checking in on us and refilling water, just the service alone deserves 5 stars and food is as well 5 stars. Thank you Alyssa, Vaccio and Givani for a great experience, we can't wait to go back. (I'm so sorry for for misspelling your names) read more

WHY WE WENT HERE: - brunch - conveniently located down the block from my friend's apt THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located on the corner of 4th St and 7th Ave - quaint spot; windows are opened (on nice days) to allow semi-indoor/outdoor seating THE (BRUNCH) MENU: * note: Brunch is $18.95 = served Saturday and Sunday and most holidays from 10:30am-4pm with unlimited mimosas, champagne, Bloody Mary, hot coffee, and hot tea - uova - pasta - salads - pane WHAT WE ORDERED: - Bloody Mary - mimosa - complimentary bread - uova cucinati in camicia (two poached eggs) saporito (over grilled portobello & Canadian Bacon & Hollandaise sauce) - uova cucinati in camicia (two poached eggs) benedict (with Canadian Bacon & Hollandaise sauce on an English muffin) THE TASTE: - my friend said her Bloody Mary was SUPER spicy - there was nothing special about my mimosa other than it was SUPER strong - the complimentary bread honestly just felt like store-bought bread that was sliced (it wasn't even warm/toasted, it was served cold) - Hollandaise sauce was VERY lemony - uova cucinati in camicia saporito was fine, but didn't wow me - uova cucinati in camicia benedict was served to my friend with burnt English muffin CUSTOMER SERVICE: - the server and host were nice, but just wished the food tasted better read more

Friendly staff. Super delicious food. Affordable prices. I came for brunch with my coworker where it cost $14.95 for an entree and an additional $7.95 for unlimited drinks. The drinks I wished we could've gotten more but still the drinks were decent. The entrees were absolutely flavorful. I loved the spinach and ricotta penne and fusilli with the tomato cream with ample amount of smoked salmon. For dessert we ordered the pistachio gelato and the apple pie came with cinnamon gelato. Both gelato were perfect and smooth and they are all made in house. I'll definitely will come again to try other foods. read more

The food here is comfort food! I had the spaghetti and meatballs and I instantly went back to having Sunday dinner at my grandmas house. Simple ingredients with fantastic taste. Everything was such a pleasant surprise. Thank you : ) read more

I had a craving for lasagna on the way back from the city and googled Italian restaurants close to Park Slope and decided on this place. I called a half hour ahead to make sure I didn't have to wait because I was starved. The owner (who's name I forgot to ask) was very welcoming. The restaurant itself was very nice too, I got there right before dinner time so the tables were perfectly ready for the rush with folks and napkins set out. It didn't take but 5 minutes -- if that to pick up my order and I was back to the house. I get home, sit down to eat, and thankfully the food is still hot like it came fresh baked out the oven. Yay! So I dig in and while the lasagna wasn't horrible it wasn't great. Very standard. I could've got the same thing at any old pizzeria in my opinion. Definitely not what I expected from a 4 start google rated authentic Italian restaurant. Maybe the other food there is great but no to their lasagna. read more

I had amazing Saccottini here tonight and our waitress was also just so wonderful and had the friendliest demeanor and attitude, made it such an enjoyable experience. I wish I remembered her name so I could give her a special shoutout but she lived in Bushwick if that'll get her a raise ;) Prices were totally reasonable, everything we had was great! Bottles of wine were also reasonably priced, most were right around $30. I definitely recommend this place. I've only been once but it's good pasta and reasonable prices with kind staff. read more

Sotto Voce - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We used to be regulars at sotto voce for years, but as new places opened in the area we branched out and went less frequently. All I can say is, no one has yet to hold a candle to this neighborhood gem. The family that owns it makes you feel like you're sitting down to a home cooked Italian meal (and that's a huge compliment from this Italian girl who grew up on grandma's cooking). Every dish is made with love there- and my meal last night was a reminder of the warmth and hospitality I always feel when I dine at Sotto Voce. Our entire party of 8 enjoyed every bite and I found myself using the bread to mop up the last of the sauce on my ravioli because it was that good. If you want a truly enjoyable, authentic Italian experience, this is the place. read more

OK, here is the real deal. This place is AWESOME! The food is over the top fresh and tasty. The pasta is really good, and I would highly recommend the fresh made pasta with meatballs. The service was also good, and the server was very attentive to our needs (e.g., didn't have to ask for more water or utensils). Great for groups of 15-20 people. I can see this place becoming a favorite for many. read more

The drinks continue to flow! That definitely is a highlight of Sotto Voce. They never allowed your glass of mimosa or water to go empty. The food was average and everyone in my group had a clean plate once done. My only gripe with the food is that there were no alternatives to substitute the pork products. Ummmm hello! This is NY, city of variety. In all things! The staff was decent but be assertive or else you might get treated like a chump. This is a very small restaurant but they serve you pretty quickly to maintain a turnover. I wouldn't recommend this place to impress an out of towner but it's still worth a visit. I am a firm believer that if you are with the right crowd, you can enjoy most experiences. Once the mimosas started to flow we went zero to 100 real quick. read more

Very nice ambiance, service excellent and food very delicious. Appetizers nice! Owner / waiter more than pleasant.

Great food and service. Anici (sp?) owner so kind and friendly as is his staff. Gigantic windows make for great people watching or zoning out read more

Food is very tasty. I've waited for pasta a little bit more than usual, but when I tried it - all my questions are gone

Stopped in for some dessert one evening. I tried the tiramisu and it was awful. No coffee flavor at all and covered in chocolate sauce. Did not eat much of it. Friend had creme brulee and said it was ok read more

Food portions are very small and during brunch there's only one menu to order from which includes drinks which is fine but the amount of food given why would anyone drink and drink to only be sick after not eating enough. Food portions are for toddlers read more

Very good food and excellent service Fish is really good as well as the baked clams Highly recommended this excellent local place read more

In a neighborhood full of Italian restaurants, this is the best! Family-run w people who remember you, this is an island of calm and welcome in an often-times crazy city. They start you off w amazing grilled bread and a tomato/pepper sauce and after everything else they'll end w a nice shot of limoncello. Grilled veggies as an app and seafood pasta in a spicy red sauce are a must. Honestly, after trying this place you'll want to come again and again. read more

I had some friends from out of town in who were looking to go out to eat. When we arrived were greeted in a very friendly manner by the staff. Were given ample time to check out the extensive menu. The food was delicious and as mentioned in another review the specials menu was very varied. We never felt rushed. The ambience was intimate and cozy. there was ample outdoor seating though we opted to eat inside. The whole vibe was as if were were invited to someone's home. It was a most enjoyable evening as much for the service as the food. read more

My group of 20 recently sat down here and were treated like royalty - Ahmed and Mario and Ahmed's daughter were so warm and caring, it was like sitting in my family's home. We had a menu prepared by Mario for our group that included calamari, eggplant, chicken, salmon, pasta and the largest dessert tray I've ever seen and all were wonderful. Great frozen margaritas, too! It's meaningful to see a restaurant as a neighborhood staple for over 20 years - it takes dedication and quality to last this long in Brooklyn! read more

We had such a delicious dinner at Sotto Voce tonight. This was the second time we dined here and both times it was excellent. The caesar salad was very good and each of our entrees was delicious. Our waitress was very enthusiastic and positive. She described all of the offerings and offered wonderful recommendations. Thank you for a lovely meal! read more

Walked by looking for a place to eat ...WOW is all I can say! The service was fabulous, the food was exceptional! The Gorgonzola purses were delicate and light. Everything tasted like your Italian grandmother cooked it. Best restaurant I have eaten at in a while . A must try ! read more

Lovely place to go for outdoor dining. The owner's young daughters are worth the price of admission--very helpful and attentive. It was one of these super young ladies, in fact, who recommended that we Yelp our experience. So...here I am;-)! I had the branzino, which was excellent, in a light tomato sauce with olives and capers, with a small side of razor thin fried new potatoes--delish! My husband had seafood over linguine, with wine and garlic sauce. He said it was quite good. A good place to people-watch as well. Very nice way to spend an evening. read more

This is a small, intimate place with good food. The wine selection is limited, but sufficient. We have had dinner here a few times a year and had a large brunch here for my daughter's baptism. The service is very good. The wait staff are sweet, friendly, and quick to respond whenever we needed something. The space is small and gets filled up quickly, especially on the weekends. Their brunch is delicious, and bottomless mimosas definitely add to the fun! We like it and highly recommend it for good, casual dinner in this neighborhood. read more

Amazing food, incredible service. Took very good care of us and threw in a few free treats.

Let's start with I have frequented this place multiple times in the past, but today was absolutely dreadful. The waitress for our table was less than interested and had a rude demeanor. The food was something from a buffet. Bacon was dry and overcooked. The sausages were so overcooked and dry it was like chewing on tree bark and the scrambled eggs were runny. The place was practically empty and yet still out drinks for the "endless" brunch were not filled unless we requested a refill. By the end of it all I left the majority of my food on my plate, and asked the other waitress for the check because our waitress was too busy pre-cutting the paper roll for the tables. We were told the check would be coming, I watched our waitress go to the bar chat with the cook in the back and mess with something for a few minutes, before ultimately going back to cutting paper, still no check! Finally the other waitress tells her for the third time to bring our check. In total worst experience at brunch of my life especially for a place that had absolutely no foot traffic. read more
