Very friendly helpful staff. Table for two was really really close to another table making it rather awkward. The restaurant was freezing, with most customers dining in their jackets. Food was hot and fresh.

I had such a wonderful evening at Sofia's with my boyfriend. As an Italian, I have high expectations for Italian food, and Sofia's did not disappoint. The atmosphere was vibrant and romantic, perfect for our date night. We started with the arancini, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and full of flavor inside. For our mains, I had the chef's freshly made ravioli, and my boyfriend chose the parmigiana di melanzane. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors that reminded me of home. The staff were attentive and friendly, always checking in to make sure we were happy. Our server even recommended a lovely Italian wine that paired beautifully with our meal. It was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely recommend Sofia's to anyone looking for real Italian food in New York. We’ll be back soon!
