    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!

    Our dinner here was outstanding. We went on Valentine’s Day, which is a crazy day for any restaurant, but they did a wonderful job. Our table was ready at the reservation time, service was prompt and friendly, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed every dish we had, from appetizer to dessert. And the fresh bread with dips…wow. I could eat that all day!

    Our first time to Prima and it was a great experience. Katherine was our server and she was spectacular. She gave us great recommendations and was knowledgeable about the menu. We were running late for our reservation and the hostess could not have been more accommodating. We had the tuna crudo and meatballs. Tuna was fresh and the red sauce with the meatballs was chefs kiss* My boyfriend and I have just moved to the area and were excited to check out Prima, the hype is real. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Have dined many times at Surf in Woburn and Portsmouth. Never disappointed with the quality of the food. The Atmosphere is better in NH being on the river but Woburn is a bit noisy. The food quality is still worth the trip.
