   We had wonderful service from a very busy waitress. Our tiramisu was the best I have ever had.

   My wife and I went on a Sunday night. Either they were not expecting so many diners or a server was out sick. There was just one server for about ten tables and while he worked very hard, we felt neglected at times. Nothing wrong with the kitchen, however. The food was very good overall, though price. The salami and cheese board had a great selection of meats but scarcely any cheese, though there were lots of garnishes that my wife loved. The sea bass and chicken romano were top notch as well. We would have ordered dessert but it took the server 15 minutes to return to our table and by then, we had lost our momentum. One comment about the ambience. It seemed to us that the interior of the restaurant has changed little, if at all, since Disotto replaced the missed Gabriel some two decades ago. The brick walls make it feel like a cavern and contribute to the high noise levels, even when the restaurant is half empty.

   We love Disotto, but today (Easter Sunday) was not their day. I had called to confirm brunch menu but our waiter told us no brunch menu only Easter menu. We then walked back to host stand and hostess said no we’re doing full brunch. Then waiter told us no that was not right and there were only 3 items from the brunch menu. We ordered, and when it came out 2 of the 3 were missing their potatoes, and the 3rd was missing its toast. Was very disappointing.

   Hi Linda, I am very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with us on Easter Sunday. We clearly missed the mark and let you down and we take full responsibility for that. If you are willing, I would ask the opportunity to rectify this with you in some way. Please feel free to call me at the restaurant so we can speak further.

   The food was really good. The service was barely adequate. The noise level was way too high. I don’t think I can eat there again. It was just simply too hard to hear the person next to you.

   We had a fabulous meal at Disotto! I had the salmon and it was excellent! My husband had the lamb special and he said it was outstanding! The service is amazing. And, every so often the manager would stop by to see if everything was ok. It was our first time there and we would definitely go back.

   Waaay too loud. They need to fusion the ceiling. It made it difficult to talk to one another. Food came out quickly.

    By far (for many years now) the absolute best authentic Italian food on the North Shore, there’s nobody even close (and I’m Italian raised with homemade Italian food everday so I’m spoiled to say the least). Anyway if you want real homemade Italian food the likes of what you’d get by going to Italy then you have to try DiSotto, it’s the absolute best and I should know 👍🤣
