    The ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff were friendly and on top of everything. The food is overpriced for what you get.

    Via Sophia is a cozy restaurant with great ambiance. It was decorated beautifully for the holidays. We went for brunch during the Christmas Prelude, which had a very limited menu and was a little overpriced for what we received. The service was excellent, though. Will be returning for the more traditional dinner they offer.

    Emily our server was great. I was happy to see that shrimp scampi was back on the menu, I ask for side of capers to go with. My husband was disappointed that chicken parm was gone from the menu but ordered the pork chop per Emily's recommendation and it was delish. Could have used more of the gravy/au jus though and more brussel sprouts! Caesar salad was good. Bread not so much though, it used to be so good but this time it was cold & tasteless, store bought possibly ..room temp butter would be wonderful instead of hard as a rock! We'll go back ... Pretty decorations for the holidays👍

    Our mini family reunion gathering had a lovely time. The deceivingly simple dish of rigatoni had complex and delicious flavors. The pear Bellini was yummy and our server, Emily, treated us well!
