Berg Hospitality is uniting with Ancorian to bring two new restaurants to W. 11th in the Heights. Owner and founder Benjamin Berg is teaming up with the Houston-based Ancorian, a regional investment and development company, to open Trattoria Sofia, an Italian restaurant at 911 W. 11th in the space formerly occupied by Presidio, which closed in October 2018. Berg is completely remodeling the existing 2,500 square feet with all-new interiors, lighting and furnishings. The restaurateur is also adding an outdoor patio and bar with landscaping meant to evoke a feeling of a lost garden. Named after his firstborn daughter, Trattoria Sofia is slated to open in May 2021.

It felt awesome, says Rodil, a master sommelier and partner at Goodnight Hospitality. The most rewarding aspect was seeing the movement between the restaurants. People would start with a drink at March and say, Actually, I want dinner, I want a pizza downstairs [at Rosie Cannonball]. And then have a really grateful handoff between the two concepts.
