Sotto Ristorante Italiano

Sotto Ristorante Italiano in Spišská Nová Ves shows that authentic Italian cuisine can thrive even outside major cities. The interior feels homely and cosy, offering a relaxed yet suitably refined atmosphere. The pleasant service was always at the right time and at the right place. A minor area for improvement lies in the staff attire, to fully align with the restaurant’s otherwise cultivated impression. The kitchen is unquestionably the driving force of the establishment. The tomato soup was executed very well – balanced, delicate, and fresh, with a full tomato flavour. The linguine frutti di mare was equally impressive, with grilled mussels and other seafood adding character and an authentic Mediterranean touch. All courses were well balanced and prepared with precision. Compared with previous visits, there is a noticeable sense of progress. The kitchen appears more confident, and the individual flavours more pronounced, reflecting consistent refinement. Sotto Ristorante Italiano is gradually becoming a venue that reaches beyond local boundaries and contributes to shaping the gastronomic scene of the wider Spiš region. It is certainly a place worth returning to.
