    Our dining ex̌perience was fantastic. I heard so much about Sotto and it did not disappoint. Our table of 4 had the following appetizers: ahi tuna, the octopus, and the goat cheese bread. All were delicious!! Our entire consisted of the short rib ravioli the mushroom pasta, the pork, and the white Truffle pasta. Again...all delicious. For dessert, we had the gellato and the doughnuts...Again these were fabulous.

    The food was very good as usual; Riley at the front desk was great and service from Samantha was exceptional. We would love to have her as our server anywhere. One down-note, which has nothing to do with the excellent dining experience, is that P&D no longer accepts the InKind payment App; so if you loaded a significant amount of $ on that app, in part because you loved P&D, you will need to use it elsewhere.

    We went to dinner before Nutcracker performance. We shared onion soup, filet mignon, salmon, mashed potatoes, asparagus, cappuccino, vanilla gelato and brownie with gelato. The food was delicious and very tasty. Everything was cooked perfectly and my daughter loved onion soup for the first time. Service was excellent and all staff was very friendly. We will definitely come back here again!
