Last night was the first time we visited this hidden gem. I have been to many good restaurants and I dine out regularly but this place takes the cake! I’ve never eaten such tasty, high quality, authentic Italian food in my life. The portions are generous and every bite is like heaven, we will be returning for sure!
We love this place. It is family run and that sort of food (delicious). BYO is a bonus and there is a liquor store few doors away. The food is not cheap. Good ingredients don't come cheap and smaller places don't have the buying power of large hospitality groups. Please be realistic in your expectations. You can realistically expect delicious traditional style Italian food served with Italian charm and generosity of spirit. If you are in a hurry, go elsewhere. If you want cheap and cheerful, go elsewhere. If you want fancy and fawning waiters, go elsewhere. Leave this place for those of us who like genuine food and genuine hospitality. And please leave me a serve of the seafood parpadelle.
I absolutely love this restaurant, it is the best Italian cuisine I have had outside of Italy
The flavours are amazing!
Thanks again for another beautiful meal and experience 💕
Last night we were delighted to discover this local gem. Our table of four was well taken care of and the food was so good! My husband enjoyed the calamari and the traditional meat lasagna. The buffalo mozzarella and mortadella entree’ then papardelle with seafood for me, both oh so delicious!! The sauce laced with plenty of garlic, ginger and a hint of chilli, I was in heaven. Lovely dessert selection and good coffee. We’ll return soon.
This is the perfect description of what a hidden gem is, the food is spectacular, 10/10, highly authentic Italian cuisine, all dishes were so flavoursome , you honestly couldn’t fault it.
Ps: it’s also BYO.
I have dined in at this lovely restaurant a few times now and also ordered many takeaways which is so much appreciated after a long day at work. Being Italian myself I can honestly say the food is authentic Italian and just so delicious. They are very friendly and welcoming but also professional, and the customer service is of high quality with good quality table settings. They have created a truly Italian restaurant ambience with lovely furnishings and decor. What also really stood out for me and my friends was the cleanliness and presentation of the restaurant. The wine glasses were sparkling clean, which is something that is often lacking in some other food establishments. I would thoroughly recommend Sottocasa for fine Italian dining or takeaway meals; very generous piping hot serves.
Absolutely incredible authentic pasta! I have never eaten a better seafood pappardelle in my life! The staff are amazing and very accomodating and the restaurant is incredibly welcoming - it feels like I am sitting in the streets of Italy. I adored the food and atmosphere thank you!
