T I N A. T U R N E R Need we say anymore. We have only visited Italy (Rome) once, and as anyone else who's visited this beautiful country (and city) will probably tell you, the food and service here are out of this world. Well Sotto Sotto you have taken Italian fine dining to another level. We are just lost for words, the food, the service, the venue, the atmosphere, the staff, the whole experience was second to none. This restaurant truly is a gem. Situated in a "basement" dwelling opposite the beautiful Parade Gardens. Please don't be misled by the term "basement" as this is exactly how the dining room eminates it's ambient beautiful character and charm. The venue is gorgeously converted, romanticly lit, secluded, seductive and just stunning. The food.......delicious, beautiful, amazing, gorgeous, magnificent. You get the picture, not enough adjectives to describe. Simple menu choices, excellent ingredients, complimentary combinations and all executed to the peak of absolute perfection. The staff......friendly, attentive, accomodating and helpful. The customer on the next table (clearly a foodie) asked detailed questions regarding the menu and portion sizes to which the waitress answered faultlessly, without hesitation and to the customers complete satisfaction. The prices and portions.....Extremely good value for the excellent quality of food provided. This restaurant does NOT offer ridiculously expensive dishes for tiny portions that you don't know whether to eat or frame If you are a fan of Italian food, or even if you are not, please, DO NOT visit Bath without visiting Sotto Sotto, you will not be disappointed. Yes, the venue may be small, but this is exactly how the character and atmosphere are generated. Advanced booking is absolutely essential. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough This really was the best dining experiences we have ever had. GRAZIE MILLE SOTTOSOTTO

We was in Bath for New Years Eve and booked here to see in the New Year. When we arrived we thought it was closed but you have to go down steps which leads you to restaurant situated in the vaulted cellars of large old terraces house. We was met at the door our coats taken we were shown to our table with a glass of bubbly. Our table was waited on by a great waiter in believe called Yashmal (forgive spelling) a gentleman who was from Sri Lanka. He was first class attentive but not intrusive nothing to much bother. Now to the food, no complaints at all from any of us, the set menu was very good and delivered. We have in our party a veg/pesc itarian who can be a little hard to please but they managed to so that in itself speaks volumes. Starters was Carpaccio di manzo con carciofi e scaglie di parmigiano Thinly sliced raw beef tenderloin with shaved artichoke shaved parmesan cheese and EVO oil. Crocchette di baccala’ con broccoli puree e salsa pizzaiola. Cod croquettes with tenderstem broccoli puree and pizzaiola sauce Mains Filetto di manzo al Barolo con crocchette di Gorgonzola Sautéed fillet of beef in Barolo red wine sauce with Gorgonzola croquettes. Branzino con speck e zucchine Smoked Parma ham-wrapped fillet of fresh seabass with crispy courgettes and cherry tomato sauce. Sweets Semifreddo alla nocciola Hazelnut semifreddo with chocolate sauce. Cheesecake Baked vanilla cheesecake. Profitterol al limoncello Profiteroles filled with fresh white chocolate Italian custard and coated with Limoncello sauce. Then on run up to midnight more comp bubbly hats and merriment. Was a excellent night.

Having worked in catering and visited various restaurants, I am rarely impressed with the service other than the usual basic smiles and service that you get and obviously should receive at every restaurant. However, Sotto Sotto indeed did the service you pay for. As in, be really informative about the dishes if you have questions and refilling your water glass without having to ask was a nice touch. Communicates with fellow colleagues so you don't have to be asked every five seconds 'Is everything alright for you?' And the food was out of this world. Cooked to perfection, every dish was the right amount of food and not dry, tasteless or indeed overpowering. In other words, you get EXACTLY what you pay for. And I wasn't rushed. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our meal over the course of an hour and a half rather than feeling rushed and like we are on a conveyor belt waiting to be ushered for the next person. Because the the timings and dish sizes I was able to enjoy all three courses plus drinks and a dessert wine without feeling over full. It truly was how dining should be. Attentive, tasty and an experience. The waitress, Sukanya, who waited on us throughout and delivered our service perfectly was new but excellent. Thank you so much. I will definitely be returning on my next visit to Bath. I have already recommended Sotto Sotto to my friends. Thank you again. Mackenzie

Rarely can you visit a restaurant 11 years apart and find a better 5* experience than the prior one. That is exactly what Sotto Sotto delivered! I loved the restaurant in 2012 - its flavours, atmosphere and service all highly memorable. We returned with high expectations, unexpectedly exceeded by a team on top of its game. Starters of Prawn Brushetta and Cicchetti were mouth-watering. What followed was simply stunning - Rack of Lamb with a Pistachio and Mustard Crust with Red Wine Jus, flavours so diverse yet beautifully balanced that the dish will live forever in our memories. So good we missed the photo opp! As Bath's tastes change and other restaurants vie for attention, it might be easy to forget how hard longevity is to sustain. Sotto Sotto proves that consistency isn't only possible, but it's a delight!! In a sea of change, this is one cellar bolt hole I will forever adore.

Fettuccine alla crema di zucca. I love this pasta! The texture of texture was good and the salty sage was good with the sweet squash. Bruschetta ai gamberoni. The sauce was delicious with the prawns. Carré di agnello in crosta di pistacchi One of my favourite dishes! The roasted lamb was cooked perfectly and tender without gamey lamb smell. Filetto di manzo con crema di funghi It was good but a bit overcooked for me. Penne alla vodka. A simple and classic pasta. I preferred the sauce could be heavier. Risotto al Barbera con salsiccia e crema di Pecorino. It was tasty, I like the texture of the risotto. Tiramisu. The tiramisu was too sweet to me. Pannacotta al cioccolato fondente. The panna cotta was yummy, it was tasted a bit bitter not too sweet for me. Sotto Sotto is the most poult Italian restaurant in Bath. The price is acceptable and the service is also friendly.

Fantastic fine Italian dining. I was a bit sceptical at first as the restaurant is at basement level. I was however pleasantly surprised at the ambience! The bar felt as if I was in a cellar in a rich manor. The food was also excellent! My greatest issue was, that I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the mains! The starter of calamari I had was something I'd give skip next time. However the linguine I had was excellent. Deliciously fresh sea food, perfectly cooked pasta and high quality Olive oil what a combination! The strawberry sorbet was also to die for! The service Veronica and the new trainee offered was seamless. Constant water refills without asking and no awkward waiting for items to be cleared. A 5 star is a very rare rating for me but Sotto Sotto smashed it. Price is also to be expected from excellent Italian cuisine. A must go restaurant in Bath!
