I tried with all my might to go here during the film festival but alas, no such luck. (I was really in the mood for star gazing... of the hunky brad pit kind). So, instead, I booked a table for 12 for my birthday a few weeks ago. The table was great, we were all able to look at each other (as opposed to a long ass awkward table). Let me tell you, finding a place that didn't take a minimum and didn't make me offer my first born in order to have a table for 12 was a HUGE challenge and Sotto Sotto was so brilliant about it.
I really loved my meal. I have the Beef Carpaccio to start which was delish!! The pasta dish I had (which had a garlic sauce... amazing) was outstanding. The service was really wonderful as well. Our server stayed on top of making sure everyone had what they needed and never let a glass go dry.
This place truly is a little piece of Italy within Toronto. The decor is very quaint and with the kitchen exposed to the customer, you know exactly what's going on!
Also, even if it's not the film festival, you never know who you may run into here... I got the honours of rubbing shoulders with a few of the Toronto Blue Jays (if you know my BF, you will know this is a BIG DEAL!)
This place will definitely because a regular go to restaurant for me as I can't remember a better birthday dinner experience.
