Sotto Sopra

Newport’s Sotto Sopra serves Italian cuisine with a twist. This Chef Hat winning restaurant is particularly famous for its woodfired mains and pastas that feature ingredients and flavours from all over the world. Led by chef and restaurateur Alessandro Pavoni and a team of other industry experts, Sotto Sopra is one of those gems that you don’t come across often. Located at The Palm on Barrenjoey Road, this restaurant is well worth a trip no matter where you live in Sydney, and did we mention the wine? Sotto Sopra’s wine selection is on point, but you can also bring your own if you prefer. Needless to say, reservations are essential for this exceptional Italian restaurant.

Winners of one Chef Hat in the Good Food Guide 2018, the people behind Newport’s Sotto Sopra have a lot to be proud of. This restaurant is brought to you by the same folks from Sydney’s Ormeggio at The Spit, another famous two-hat restaurant in Mosman. The food here is very produce-oriented, so expect lots of bright vegetables bursting with colour and flavour. The dining space is light and modern, and it’s the perfect spot to spend a fun evening with friends or family. In fact, Sotto Sopra even offers a sophisticated kids’ menu complete with options like Italian chicken Milanese and gnocchi with Napoli sauce.

For the adults, there’s so much more to discover at Sotto Sopra at The Palm on Barrenjoey Road. The menu is packed with amazing food, including several options for vegetarians (there’s even a separate veg-friendly menu). Highlights here include the woodfired flatbread, the potato gnocchi with cured Kurobuta pork and our favourite, the tagliata di manzo, woodfired Angus beef scotch fillet with caramelised red onion puree and Jerusalem artichoke. Look forward to a whole lot more where that came from and reserve ahead of time to secure your table at this Newport restaurant.
