"Bringing casereccio-style, aka homemade, Italian cuisine to the former Cucina Sorella space, Trattoria Da Sofia is run by a group of young entrepreneurs — Mario Liga, Sofia Lo Cascio, Andrea Carbonaro, Giancarlo Guttilla, Giuseppe Lo Coco, Sebastian Berho, and Franco Mestre — who all have hospitality backgrounds. With decor meant to transport diners to the streets of Italy, the restaurant offers a daily 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. happy hour and a dinner menu that includes homemade meatballs, fried burrata, short rib-stuffed ravioli, and ossobucco." - Candice Woo
