Sono

Italian · New York, NY · $$$$

Sono is a first of its kind Korean-Italian Trattoria. The brainchild of Chef Sechul Yang whose résumé includes some of NYC’s most celebrated kitchens, including Gramercy Tavern, Oiji Mi, Maialino and, most recently, Ddobar. Meaning “I am” in Italian, Sono is rooted in his Korean upbringing and shaped by years spent cooking in Italian kitchens. Our menu follows the framework of a classic Italian trattoria, with handmade pastas and shared plates, subtly infused with Korean ingredients and sensibilities that reflect the cultural overlap between the two cuisines. Likewise, the beverage program mirrors this playful cross-cultural approach, highlighting house-made soju infusions with Korean plums, ginseng, and other botanicals, served neat or as bright, refreshing highballs, as well as a curated selection of beer and wine.
