/PRNewswire/ -- Nora Restaurant & Bar, a culinary gem that

excited to announce the arrival of its new Executive
Chef, Daniele Sotgiu. With his extensive experience and
passion for Mediterranean cuisine, Chef Sotgiu is set to elevate
the dining experience at Nora with

"At Nora, I aim to introduce traditional Sardinian flavors to

Mediterranean influences," said Chef Sotgiu. His culinary
philosophy focuses on creating dishes from scratch using the
freshest, seasonal ingredients. Blending Mediterranean, Spanish,
and French influences with Sardinian traditions, Chef Sotgiu

season.
Chef Sotgiu brings a wealth of culinary expertise and experience
to Nora. Born and raised in

culinary journey at the age of 15, attending culinary school while
gaining hands-on experience in local kitchens and businesses. He
began his career at the five-star Starwood Marriott Hotel followed
by three years at Porto Cervo, an Italian seaside resort in
Northern Sardinia. Both
restaurants are known for their outstanding, authentic Italian
international cuisine. Before leaving the country, Sotgiu worked
under Chef Luigi Pomata, the Owner

prestigious establishments, including the one-star Michelin
restaurant S'Apposentu in Sardinia
owned by Chef Roberto Petza and the
renowned Michelangelo restaurant in Milan.
Under Chef Sotgiu's direction, Nora plans to launch new menu items that
promise to be a delectable feast for the senses. Guests can look
forward to signature dishes such as the boneless branzino served
with persillade sauce and vegetable caponatina, the bone-in saffron
lamb shank that's marinated overnight, as well as a rotating
selection of homemade pastas. The menu will continue to highlight
healthy, vibrant dishes, staying true to Mediterranean culinary
culture. Chef Sotgiu emphasizes the importance of seasonal
ingredients, planning to update the menu seasonally to incorporate
