Teatro Sotterraneo was awarded with "Lo Straniero" prize 2009 for being «one of the most meaningful examples of a new verve in the Italian theatre», a group that «managed to challenge the recent innovations of many arts, thanks to its original point of view, without ideological blinkers within the contradictions and worries of its generation».

Teatro Sotterraneo was awarded with the Ubu special prize 2009 for being one of «the leading groups [...] in the current generational change somehow reviving the splendours of the Roman school, managing to renew the scene, challenging language and emphasising the most worrying and embarrassing aspects of our existence thanks to a smart use of new visual and linguistic codes».

Teatro Sotterraneo has been awarded with the prize Hystrio-Castel dei Mondi 2010, for young acting companies with the following motivation: «In just six years [...], Teatro Sotterraneo managed to renew the scene thanks to a language where formal rigour and mockery entwine. From Post-it to La Cosa 1, to the dyptic made up by Dies irae and The Origin of the species, Teatro Sotterraneo has explored with obstinacy and light-heartedness the topic of the end, both of individuals and of western society, drawing towards complex issues audiences different in age and education, thanks to a stage approach able to join deepness and accessibility. The group from Florence [...] goes on analysing the present with a caustic wit, creeping in pop formats totrigger unusual escaping hatches  always balanced between an epic fresco and a generational portrait».
