If you don’t mind dining next to Hamptons foodies like Blythe Danner, Bobby Flay, Alec Baldwin, Giada De Laurentiis, Mariska Hargitay, Michael Kors, Naomi Watts, and Scarlett Johansen — you will love Amagansett eatery Sotto Sopra, which brings a taste of Northern Italy to the East End. Inviting guests on a culinary journey that highlights the region’s traditional flavors and cooking methods. Sotto Sopra’s expertly crafted menu developed by Executive Chef Josh Savi (formerly of Restaurant Patrick Guilabud in Dublin), takes advantage of the restaurant’s wood-burning oven to offer up freshly baked breads, crispy Italian style pizza and whole roasted fish.

Deliciously fresh salads, antipastos and impeccably flavored pasta dishes round out the menu along with classic “Bisteccheria” options. Under the direction of Managing Partner Rose Evangelista, whose sweet welcoming nature makes her guests feel at home, Sotto Sopra has quickly become one of the most sought-after restaurants on the East End, known for its frequent celebrity guests, relaxing atmosphere, exceptional service, and fresh, flavorful fare.

Sotto Sopra’s traditional cuisine is contrasted by its modern décor, creating a thoughtful, warm aesthetic. Drenched in sunlight, Sotto Sopra’s airy interior features an open-style design concept, cedar-paneled walls, sleek black and wood table and chairs, industrial style lighting and fixtures, and bright white color accents. Toward the rear of the restaurant, Sotto Sopra’s floor-to-ceiling windows open up to reveal a charming outdoor patio adorned with elegant blue umbrellas, as well as a lush garden.
