Given that I've never been to 'Sotto Sotto', and am unlikely to be in the Bath area anytime soon, I must bow to Steve's superior knowledge and recommendation. However, after casually glancing at their menu, I was amused to read Jay Rayner's latest piece in the Guardian: Jay Rayner’s guide to choosing a good restaurant where he comments that: "If the menu feels the need to tell you that the squid is tender, find somewhere else. No restaurant intentionally serves rubbery squid. So why the hell are you telling me that yours is tender?" Lo and behold, 'Sotto Sotto' describe thier 'Calamaretti fritti' as being: "Tender squid with a delicate garlic aioli" Even better is their tautological: "All our Italian products are imported from Italy" Splendid! I don't, however, doubt that the food is excellent. The use of language just makes me smile...
