Chitra Ramaswamy headed for a “gorgeous” new Italian enoteca and trattoria in the heart of Stockbridge, the “affluent old village hugging a particularly fine stretch of the Water of Leith” that is her pick for Edinburgh’s foodie quarter of the year.
Founded by sommelier David Clark, it’s a place where wine gets top billing, with a “stunning” selection by the glass and a 200-strong list presented in a leather-bound book – and “on the wines alone, Sotto gets top marks”.
The food, though, is a different story: “flavours could be bigger, balance should be finer”, there are too many ingredients on the plate, and several dishes from both the main and dessert menus are “way too sweet … the refrain of the meal”.
