    Great dining experience! Visited restaurant twice in the past week….first for business lunch then returned today with my wife. Food is outstanding and service is impeccable. Eclectic but not overly expansive menu. Everything done to perfection.

    Trattoria Sofia never disappoints! They were incredibly accommodating for our party of 6, including a baby (7). While this wasn’t our first time dining here, it was our first time bringing a baby, and the experience was still amazing. The food NEVER misses—every dish is always perfectly crafted—and the service is consistently top-notch. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a casual dinner, this place always delivers. Highly recommend!

    Our Server was one of the best we’ve had in a long time. We came with three of our friends for my wife’s birthday and walked away very satisfied. We had the dumplings, oysters, chowder fries, and deviled eggs to start and finished with the full fried chicken. Not only was the food wonderful but the staff had each item delivered on cue every time. Thanks everyone who worked last night.
