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 felt very welcomed by the staff from the moment we walked in the doors. The service n ambiance was great! It was our first steak night experience n it was enjoyable. We wished there were other sides offered with the steaks besides fries tho. We did order sides of asparagus and au gratin potatoes....the potatoes were quite salty, the asparagus was perfect. Overall, we loved our experience and look forward to future visits.
