I visited Sottovento last Saturday evening for the first time with my husband and 10 year old son. We booked a table for 7pm and arrived just before. We were warmly greeted and taken to the bar area and given menus. We ordered food and were taken to our table at 7pm precisely. We had a garlic bread with cheese... More

We were taken here while visiting friends who live locally and were very impressed. In addition to the quite extensive regular menu there's plenty of specials on the board as well as a selection of very reasonable 2 & 3 course specials. These consist of a choice of about 4 starters then any pasta or pizza and any dessert for... More

Heard about the place through friends and tried to get in once but it was packed. Goes to show that you really need to book, if you can't just walk in a place, that in it's self speaks volumes. We called in early on the off chance and luckily got a table. We all had the special and it was... More

Four of us went on a Thursday evening, when there were two offers on: order a steak and any starter is free, and order a starter and any pizza or pasta is £4.95. Three of us had steak Diane, and all 3 swapped the veg and potatoes for chips (well, we don't get together often). The steaks were cooked to... More

Fancied this place for ages and so glad finally made it, excellent service, food superb (garlic bread with tomatoes and chilli to die for!), prices very moderate- overall a superb evening. If I had one suggestion for improvement I would turn the lights down a little- a bit bright! But highly recommended!

Our family Christmas dinner was in sottovento this year. The food was delicious and the service was good too. Only disappointment was they brought the starters out before all of our party had arrived. Overall a lovely place and well worth the visit if your nearby.

We go to Sottovento every month or so. I always order the steak - it's a beautiful cut and the chef really knows how to cook it rare. The service is excellent and the staff are really friendly. My niece (age 7) thinks the pizza is 'really yummy'! Well worth a visit.

I visit this restaurant regularly with family and friends and have held a number of special birthdays and anniversaries there. However, I was extremely disappointed with the customer service and attitude of the owner on New Year’s Eve. The evening went well up to receiving the bill. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was as it should be on NYE... More
