Sotto Enoteca - Burlington

Strangest dining experience of my life We were looking to try something new in the area on our annual visit to Burlington and came across Trattoria Delia. We walked in and were told that it would be an hour and 15 minute wait for a bar seat, meanwhile there were several open tables on the floor. We decided to walk over to the restaurant next door named Sotto Enoteca and we were seated within a few minutes. We immediately recognized some of the staff from Trattoria Delia as they were seating groups in the same dining room as us and we were very confused. Later on, the waiter confirmed that they were the same restaurant. We felt uncomfortable knowing that the hostess in the red dress at the sister restaurant told us it would be over an hour wait, but she continued to seat other guests in our dining area. We found it strange that when we were initially turned away at Trattoria Delia, she didn't offer us the option to seat us in their second dining room at Sotto. She avoided all eye contact as she passed our table several times.That set the mood for our dining experience. We ordered calamari, filet mignon, and lobster pasta which were all mediocre. The steak came out rare when we had asked for it to be medium well. The lobster tasted old which was disappointing considering the price. Towards the end of our dinner, a group of 4 young women walked in asking if they had seating available and the waiter turned them away and told them the only open table had a reservation. We left 15 minutes prior to closing and nobody sat at that empty table. It seems like young individuals are not their preferred clientele. Spend your money elsewhere for better service and food!

Cozy Italian wine bar with selected dressed. half price pasta Tuesday, half price wein Wednesday. large quantity with a large ambiente sniffs pleasant waiter.

Shared kitchen with Trattoria Delia next store, but easier to get seated without a reservation. Great atmosphere.

Very small restaurant down the stairs. Small menu with specials. All good. Great wine selection.

The food, atmosphere, and most importantly bartender extraordinaire Jason are the BEST!!!
