Trattoria Da Sofia is a delightful neighborhood gem, praised for its "amazing food" and "excellent service." Guests appreciate the "authentic Italian experience" with standout dishes like the "spicy vodka rigatoni" and "table-side tiramisu." While some note the lively atmosphere, the "friendly staff" and "delicious cocktails" continue to draw diners back.

    We enjoyed Sofia very much. Very nicely set, kind service with knowledge and great food. My first assessment is how you are greeted upon arrival. Accommodating! Welcoming! Our waiter knew how to explain options, asked about any allergies.. he was great! We enjoyed the food very much. Started with Arancini - more tomato based rice yummy. Calamari was tender (breading could be lighter) and meatballs on the money! We tried several pastas and chic parm. Cacio a Pepe very delicious - just right amount of black pepper, gently stuffed w ricotta, rigatoni alla vodka very tasty - be aware it is spicy and pistachio pesto and spaghetti was excellent - finally chicken parm - I know it is not a traditional Italian dish but thin and nicely prepared. All in all - very good experience. Will be back!

    I absolutely loved this restaurant but one thing i did not know and i should have asked is on vday they only offer a selected menu and that’s it and if u want something different they don’t make it which i get bc of the occasion. But i loved it otherwise pasta was still amazing and authentic and super cute inside.

    Everything from the service to the food to the ambiance was amazing! The food is as fresh as it gets and the waiters are all so nice and friendly, it feels like you’re family rather than a customer. My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary and were so pleased with the whole experience, we will definitely be coming back this is now one of our favorites!

    Celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday and our anniversary ! Right away we were blown away with the overall look and feel of Trattoria Da Sofia. Our waiter explained every dish, recommended his favorites, and told us he was actually from Sicily ! From apps, dinner, to dessert. The food was phenomenal! We did the Tirimisu traditional style demo and it was truly a great way to end our meal. Our waiter even brought out a lemon cake slice for my girlfriend’s birthday ! They bagged up our food for us. Let’s just say our bellies were very happy and full . Well worth it & we will most certainly be back !

    The food here is amazing! Anything that you get off the menu will be sure to satisfy your desires. The wine list is very diverse and provides multiple options. Don’t even get me started on the dessert options that are mouth watering to say the least. 10/10 would recommend and will easily become your new favorite dinner location.

    Dined with a friend whose parents are from Sicily- she discovered one of the servers was from a town near their home. It was a bit noisy as I arrived - bare walls amplified a boisterous celebration at another table. Starters: My friend was excited to see a Sicilian salad on the menu that reminded her of her mother’s recipe. (It was delicious) The focaccia & garlic bread were fresh, from a local bakery. The grilled artichoke with lemon was tender and had excellent flavors. Entrees: I had the mushroom fettuccine with truffle sauce - rich and delicious. My friend had the bolognese and was very pleased. Generous portions- We both took home leftovers to enjoy for lunch. Intriguing & tasty wine list- I enjoyed a Sardinian vermentino,she had the Nero d’avola. Too full for dessert. Will definitely return with more friends to sample more dishes!
