Sonoma, a name I´ve heard repeatedly throughout these past weeks, so when I knew I would stop by I was a little exited.
The place is in Piantini (this is a clue on the price range) close Ave.Churchill. The decoration i s very classy and very relaxing for some reason, or maybe I was just tiered :p . For me this place is more like to have a business meeting or if you want a quiet dinner.
I think the food is a little overrated , although I had one favorite that got the golden star.
Pulpo en Salsa de Olivo: This is the real star of the night. Wow! this as the only dish I thought was just out of this planet :O . Octopus in olive sauce, first of all I had never eaten octopus cooked so soft and full of flavor. The olive sauce was subtle yet it took over you mouth (in a god way), it was just perfect. When you give your first bite I know you´ll think of me and will love me for a second

I have to come back and try this again
Fantasía de Berengena: The Eggplant Fantasy as they call it was a light, simple but very tasty dish. The eggplant was cooked three different ways: a la parmigiana, in a roll filled with goat cheese and as a bruschetta. You will not get full with this , but it´s great to share.

Penne Festival: I was not amazed with this at all! The sauce was very artificial and salty, like something out of an instant package. I think they could´ve done better for RD$400 ( 9 or 10 US$). This Penne Festival was supposed to have mushrooms, chicken and parmegiano….honestly there are other dishes you could try, this is something you can make at home.

tasted like something out of a package
