Rich and varied choice of pizzas and salads with a few grilled meats and Mexican dishes ballasting out the menu. Reasonably pleasant stuff and satisfyingly tangy lasagna.

The menu includes a small number of well selected original dishes. Its trendy settings and the wide variety of alcoholic drinks and cocktails make Motto one of the few good bars in Sofia.
