We had a great first visit to Sogno. All the food we ordered was delicious (eggplant soup, wild boar gnocchi special, cacio e pepe pasta, creme brulee, and ricotta pie). My husband ordered a Sogno Sip (pineapple infused vodka), and I tried a mocktail with non alcoholic prosecco and rose syrup. We loved the atmosphere, and it was fun for a date night. Our server was very attentive and offered to take photos of us, which was nice and not expected. We will definitely be back!
