The tasting menu was absolutely fantastic. I was thoroughly impressed not only with the quality and flavor profiles of the menu, but also the wine pairing and unique dishes that were created by the wonderful Chef. The service was also impeccable, a rarity in recent years regardless of how high end the restaurant has been. Kudos! We will be back.

Love the old world charm of this restaurant. Portions are good as well as food quality. Reservations are a must as the restaurant is small which I prefer.

If you're looking for the best New York-style pizza in town, look no further than Sono Wood-Fired! We enjoyed the upside-down pizza special and Cacio e Pepe--both delicious! Our server, Michael, was excellent as always. This is a great neighborhood restaurant in SoNo.
