    This was our Christmas celebration dinner. The service was attentive and friendly. Great bread, hot and fresh. My pork chop was exceptionally. As well as my Mac and cheese. My wife’s steak was perfectly cooked. This is our fourth time eating here. Excellent again. It’s pricey and almost worth it. Will return soon.

    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!
