Sotto Sopra

The place is beautiful, right on the marina, but you definitely need a reservation since it’s not very big. The pasta there is amazing! We ordered a bunch of dishes, but the highlight was definitely the seafood tagliatelle – honestly the best pasta I’ve ever had in my life. We also tried the chicken mushroom Alfredo penne, but it was a bit tasteless compared to the seafood one, so the seafood pasta is absolutely the winner. The waiters were extremely nice, helpful, professional, and made the whole experience even better. We enjoyed everything overall. The place usually closes once everyone leaves, and by around 11:30 it’s pretty much done. The only thing I didn’t really like was the tomato bruschetta – they make it in a way that’s more like a pizza, and it was a bit soggy, which isn’t my preference.

It is a very cool Italian restaurant in Abu Tig marina in Gouna. The vibe the music are great. The food was good the drinks were great. The service was also very good. There was a mistake with my order but they handled it very professionally. Definitely recommend it for a cool night out in Gouna when you don’t want to eat fish or Egyptian.

We’re always on the hunt for good pizza in Gouna. This is NOT the place. The pizza is mediocre. Their pizza tomato sauce tastes like a pasta sauce. The cheese topping greasy and lacked flavour. Service staff are very busy on their phones or talking to each other, so don’t expect they will pay much attention to you. When we arrived, almost ALL of the outdoor tables were empty, but we were told that we had 2 tables to chose from because the rest were reserved…this was at 2:30 in the afternoon, shortly after they opened. Okay. We sat there for an hour, and not one “reservation” showed up to claim their spot. The reviews are mixed on this place, so maybe it’s possible to dine when the food and service is better. Doubtful we will return to find out. My only recommendation is the Stella.
