    I recently visited piccolo Sogno restaurant and had a fantastic experience! The sea bass was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were rich and flavorful. The pizza had a perfect crust and was topped with fresh ingredients. The service was exceptional, with the staff being both friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a great place for a cozy dinner. Overall, I highly recommend this Italian restaurant for anyone craving delicious and authentic Italian cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

    This is the second time we've been to NoMi; first time as each other's fiancé. The restaurant is incredibly accommodating and always makes you at home. From the warm atmosphere, to the unbeatable view and comforting staff, not many restaurants make you feel the way NoMi does - and that doesn’t even include the food. I noted on our reservation it was both our anniversary and that we'd prefer to hear about non-alcoholic drink options. Upon our arrival, the host both wised us a happy anniversary and assured us our NA preference would be accommodated. I had the 12 oz. ribeye; my date had a rice bowl. Considering NoMi ins't actually a steakhouse, my steak was beyond excellent - maybe top-3 I've had in my life of traveling and steak-loving. My soon-to-be wife also loved her dinner. You also can't go wrong with any of their dessert options either - they offer a lot of ice cream, which is awesome! We can't wait to come back again. NoMi will always be a place we visit on special occasions.
