Great Italian style restaurant, small and intimate. The service was great, the owner himself was serving and shaking hands with the customers. The rest of the staff were fantastic, and the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. I ordered were lamb shank, lined with a bed of mash potatoes, and veggies, with the most delicious gravy. I ate the whole thing in about ten mins. Carbonara and Lobster raviolis were ordered as well. Both were excellent, but the lamb shank was the best in my opinion.

    The service was extremely disappointing. Our waiter seated us and immediately walked away. When he…read morefinally returned, he asked if everything was okay, and we requested water. He came back again, asked the same question, and once again we had to ask for water. Instead of paying attention to his tables, he appeared to be watching the TV. Another waiter eventually noticed we still didn't have water and brought it to us. Our waiter later asked if we wanted bread, and we said yes. After another long wait, he brought us the appetizer bread, which came with an extra charge. We never ordered an appetizer and reasonably assumed he was offering the complimentary table bread. At no point did he explain there would be a charge. A different waiter ended up bringing out our meals. Our assigned waiter was virtually absent for the rest of the meal and didn't return until it was time to drop off the check. The service was inattentive, unprofessional, and lacked even the most basic communication. It was frustrating to have another server step in repeatedly while our own waiter was nowhere to be found. Unfortunately, this experience fell well below expectations.

This place deserves this strong rating…read more The building is gorgeous -- all brick walls, old-school elegance, and enough ambiance to make you sit up straighter the second the waiter approaches. It feels like the kind of place where politicians make secret deals over cabernet and couples get engaged next to a plate of scallops that costs more than your first car payment. The wine list is so extensive I'm pretty sure it has its own ZIP code. The service? Extremely polished. The servers glide around with the confidence of people who definitely know which fork you're supposed to use and are praying you don't ask. Food-wise, it's fantastic. Steaks arrive looking like they just graduated summa cum laude from culinary school. The oysters are elite. The desserts whisper, "You deserve this," right before your bank app sends a push notification asking if everything is okay. And honestly, the best part is the atmosphere. It's one of the few restaurants where everyone collectively agrees to lower their voice by 30%. You don't hear blenders, screaming toddlers, or a guy explaining crypto. Just soft conversation, and clinking glasses. Would I go back? Absolutely. But only after checking my credit score, hydrating properly, and reminding myself that "treat yourself" is not a legally binding financial strategy. In all seriousness: it's worth every dime. (And if you decide to pay in dimes.....bring a few dollies and some help.)

Wife had the special pork chop. Was huge and the best she has ever had. Two of us had the New York Strip. Cooked perfectly. Other one had the filet. Excellent. Reasonable prices for the food. Since we are from Los Angeles area had never been here before. Will definitely come back when we are in the area.

Reservations are not required for parties of 6 or less, I was told. We were seated promptly in their outdoor area. Live music was featured on this particular night. Very nice ambiance. We started with the crab and artichoke dip along with a round of Sacramento Sage Advice drinks. Their drink menu is large and it includes many wine offerings as well. For our main course I had the swordfish special- very delicate fish atop a bed of baby squash, grape tomatoes and a tasty citrus sauce. It was excellent! My wife had the New York steak with duck-fat infused fried potatoes (very interesting). Her steak was sliced atop a delicious sauce. Everything was made perfectly delicious. To round up the occasion we shared a peach pie à la mode. I would like to mention that we had a great experience thanks to our server, Shaun who gave us food recommendations. He made sure our courses arrived at the right time without feeling rushed or opposite, taking too long. Thanks Shaun for your kind assistance ! Overall a great experience. My only suggestion to the establishment is to keep an eye on restroom tidiness

I…read moregoogled them, took one look at the cioppino and it was official: I KNEW what I wanted for my birthday. I talked about going to this place for weeks. Finally the day was upon us. I had called ahead to check on the foot traffic and to determine the best time to get there. As they open at 11:30, after speaking with someone over the phone the week before, my wife and I determined the best time to get there was 12:30pm, they don't take reservations for parties of 2. We arrived, saw they already had a wait but were on the list by 12:30pm. We were told the wait would be 30 minutes. No problem. We received the buzzer from them and walked around the block and ended up two restaurants down the street around 12:50pm. At 1:09pm, the buzzer still hadn't gone off and my wife, who went in initially to put us on the list, went back in to check on the status of our table. At the host stand, she heard the manager tell a woman who clearly didn't have a reservation she would be sat in 3 minutes. After hearing that, my wife showed the manager the buzzer we had been given and asked, "So how much longer for us?" The manager replied "It may be another 10 minutes." We then watched them scramble to clear a table and immediately give the table to the woman who had arrived after us. Upon this disappointment we decided to leave because if they can't get something simple like seating guests respectfully right, I can only imagine what else they'll screw up. People don't remember what you do... They remember how you made them feel. As a hospitality professional, not only was this experience totally unavoidable but it left me feeling disrespected and not valued - as a customer; as a person. In being honest, I have to mention that, oddly enough, as I looked around during this disappointment I noticed that everyone seated and being rapidly seated were of one particular ethnic group. Everyone waiting was part of various minority groups which made this incident even more sickening - reinforcing our decision to not only choose to spend our money somewhere else on that day, but to never spend any money there... EVER. I was extremely excited to visit this place and to be shown this kind of treatment further proves that there are still some places that don't want minority dollars so much they simply don't care how they treat you. And unfortunately for them, I'm certainly sharing this experience with as many visitors to the city as I can letting them know "There a MANY fine places to eat in the city... but I'll tell you where NOT to go - unless you feel like being treated like a second-class citizen." Please check in with your personal values before choosing to support this place. Sotto Mare... you all really need to invest in some cultural sensitivity training. It's 2026. Highly disappointed.
