A popular, spacious pizzeria with very good thin-crust pizza, broad menu choice and generally quick service, though Saturday time limits, reservation problems and a few serious service or hygiene reports warrant planning.
SottoSopra earns its standing through thin, crisp pizza and fast, pleasant service across its two-floor venue with garden seating. It is held back from the very top tier by occasional dry pizza and isolated inattentive visits, while its setting is appealing locally but not a clear destination.
SottoSopra is a busy, roomy San Donato pizzeria where the main event is a very thin, crisp pizza, backed by a garden, two floors and a lively family-dining atmosphere. Most reviewers find the staff friendly and notably fast; the overall impression is summed up by one diner’s reaction that the pizza was so good they finished every last crumb. Reserve ahead when possible, especially at peak times. The kitchen takes a broad, accessible Italian approach rather than a narrowly traditional one: classic pizzas sit alongside burgers, pasta, salads, steak and a few globally influenced touches such as teriyaki beef and a Jack Daniel’s burger. Prices are approachable, with pizzas from €6 to €13 and burgers around €15-16. The balance is strongest for casual diners who want choice and speed, though a few specific reviews describe dry pizza, a wrong beer or disappointing handling of complaints. Families should find plenty to work with: Margherita pizza, ham pizza, mushroom pizza, fries, burgers, pasta and simple salads are all on the current menu. Reviews explicitly recommend the restaurant for family evenings. However, the reported gluten cross-contact incident is a serious reason for guests with celiac disease to verify kitchen procedures before ordering.
