About the restaurant

Nestled amidst lush greenery and framed by a serene courtyard, 3 Michelin star-awarded Somni offers an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.

Somni features an extensive tasting menu and offers seatings at both the Chef's Counter and private dining room.

Somni's 400-selection wine list highlights top producers from Spain and California as well as some of our favorite bottlings from around the world.

About the restaurant

15 years ago the Piccola Trattoria name was introduced to the Santa Clarita Valley. A concept that began from its Sicilian roots, a way to offer the delicious meals the Piccola Trattoria family grew up enjoying, our interpretation of the best we have come to know in the Italian culture using the best local ingredients as simply as possible. The same delicious simple food that tastes as good as you remember from your last visit to Italy. The menu is an expression of our most cherished Italian dishes, ranging from fresh pastas, handmade raviolis, and pizza, and incorporating all the freshest local produce, seafood, and meat available. A vast wine list highlighting our collection of the best wine regions in Italy to compliment your dining experience. Our staff is passionate about bringing you Italian hospitality in a warm atmosphere that hopes to remind you of an intimate family dinner. We look forward to welcoming you into Piccola Trattoria! Ciao!

Piccola Trattoria continues to be the best restaurant and dining experience in Santa Clarita. The food is outstanding (the family is Sicilian and their recipes have been in their family for decades). The service is impeccable with professional wait staff (Graciela, the owner, is magnificent). The ambience is warm and lovely. Try their margherita pizza with pepperoni (as an appetizer) and the pear salad before your entree - the pizza dough is hand made and the ingredients are to-die-for! DELIZIOSO!
