The team behind North Park brunch mainstay Flora opened a dinner-focused follow-up: SONO, a modern Italian restaurant at 2835 University Avenue from Ocean Mohamadi and executive chef Nino Cusimano.

The menu draws on Sicily, Rome and Naples, and the room adds another sit-down option to a stretch of University that has filled in quickly over the past year.
