Beautiful decor, delicious half chicken, great service, comfortable seating, (mostly) classy patrons. Just wish the music and TV screens footage matched the ambiance, but they were trap and sports respectively.

SONO knows exactly what they’re doing. I lived in Italy & the quality of the food hear + the talent of the kitchen is so impressive. Staff is amazing (shoutout bartender Mikey). Pasta’s cooked to absolute perfection and the pizza to start is a godsend.

    This was our second visit to the restaurant, and once again, we had a very enjoyable experience. The service was excellent, and our waiter was attentive and offered helpful recommendations on both the specials and the regular menu. We started with the arancini, followed by chicken parmigiana for me and lasagna for my husband. Both dishes were fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience, and we look forward to returning!
