    Food and service were both very good. Better than I remembered from the old location. Salads were large and very tasty. The service was great despite a big holiday crowd. The new building is very nice.

    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.

    Too much noise. Suggest turn down music so people don’t have to talk over it. Excellent food and service.

    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!

    We had a wonderful experience. Service was very on point and timeliness was perfect. Our server was amazing, friendly and provided awesome service. The food was sooo delicious. Everything was fantastic, including the drinks and desserts. The ambience is great. I took my sister for her birthday and she had such a great time. Most of all I appreciate how kind everyone was and amazing food and ambience.
