This restaurant is exceptional! The mozzarella sticks appetizer is outstanding as well as the Eggplant tower highly recommend both. We had short ribs and rigatoni pasta with grilled chicken for dinner. Both dinners were flavorful and excellent. This place is a neighborhood gem! Kudos to SoNo Wood Fired and team!

Maybe the nicest, most solicitous staff in town, which helps elevate the entire experience. Food was very good to excellent (in particular the Barolo braised beef ragout on expertly made homemade pasta) but the wine list is very small and doesn’t really do the food justice. Fantastic bartender though, who conjures up some great cocktails. We’ll be back again.
