Sottocasa Cucina Verace - Mosman

Last night was the first time we visited this hidden gem. I was in many good restaurants and I diniere regularly, but this place takes the cake! I have never eaten so delicious, high quality, authentic Italian cuisine in my life. the portions are generous and every bite is like the heaven, we will surely return!

This is the perfect description of what a hidden gem is, the food is spectacular, 10/10, highly authentic Italian cuisine, all dishes were so flavoursome , you honestly couldn’t fault it.Ps: it’s also BYO.

We love this place. It is family run and that sort of food (delicious). BYO is a bonus and there is a liquor store few doors away. The food is not cheap. Good ingredients don't come cheap and smaller places don't have the buying power of large hospitality groups. Please be realistic in your expectations. You can realistically expect delicious traditional style Italian food served with Italian charm and generosity of spirit. If you are in a hurry, go elsewhere. If you want cheap and cheerful, go elsewhere. If you want fancy and fawning waiters, go elsewhere. Leave this place for those of us who like genuine food and genuine hospitality. And please leave me a serve of the seafood parpadelle.

Last night we were delighted to discover this local gem. Our table of four was well taken care of and the food was so good! My husband enjoyed the calamari and the traditional meat lasagna. The buffalo mozzarella and mortadella entree’ then papardelle with seafood for me, both oh so delicious!! The sauce laced with plenty of garlic, ginger and a hint of chilli, I was in heaven. Lovely dessert selection and good coffee. We’ll return soon.

Well the food is great but there were 30 seated customers must have been 100 decibels. For some reason everyone seemed to be shouting. Massive head ache. Will not be back.
