Review Summary
Approximately 80% of reviewers describe Somma Restaurant as delivering an exceptional, immersive dining experience, frequently praising the artistic plating, thoughtfully curated Italian menu, and unique touches like the cheese experience and storytelling by staff.
Service is widely acclaimed as warm, intuitive, and highly personalised, though two diners (~8%) criticize staff for feeling scripted or upselling, and another notes that drink explanations could be clearer.
The venue’s atmosphere, décor, and design are repeatedly called “stunning," “refined,” and “transporting," with special mention of thoughtful sensory details and seamless pacing.
About 15% of reviews express disappointment with the food’s taste, portion sizes, or pricing, describing some dishes as lacking depth, too salty, or awkward to eat, while another 15% find cocktails underwhelming.
Most negative feedback focuses on expectations not matching the Michelin-level pricing, slow seating for reservations, and occasionally cold ambiance, but these are outweighed by consistently strong endorsements for the overall creativity, craft, and hospitality.
