    I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Via Sophia, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a chic Italian vibe that made it perfect for a midday escape. The menu had a great selection of authentic Italian dishes, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Cacio e Pepe—perfectly al dente pasta with a creamy, peppery sauce that was bursting with flavor. We also tried the Margherita Pizza, which was fresh, perfectly crisp, and just the right size to share. The service was impeccable—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great wine pairing suggestions to complement our meal. Overall, Via Sophia is a gem for Italian cuisine lovers, whether you’re dining with friends, colleagues, or just treating yourself. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their dishes! Highly recommend for anyone in search of a top-notch Italian lunch spot. 👌🇮🇹

    The food was very good — the only strange thing about the experience was that, when we ordered “Bucatini Carbonara”, we were served linguini? It was delicious nonetheless, but I was confused at how this upscale and traditional italian restaurant served the wrong pasta noodle for a dish clearly named “Bucatini Carbonara”.

    Best dining experience have had in a LONG time. After we convinced the greeter to move us out of the bar (thank god) and into the pretty dining room we had such a delightful time. The server was so cool and interesting - and didn’t rush us. The bruschetta was over the top fabulous. Tuna tartar was loved by our friends. So we were having such good luck with appetizers we stuck with them with apple salad and cheese and got one pasta dish. And the bread they served was fabulous too. Wine by glass was great too although not a generous pour. The donuts snd gelato were wonderful as well. And it was relatively quiet which wasn’t an experience we have too often. Have already told other friends about it. Nice job Via Sophia !!

    We had a late lunch, five at a round table. At 1pm it was difficult to have a conversation but talking was easy by the time we left. Service was excellent and food was very reasonable. The three course $26 lunch is a bargain. Full servings of each of the courses. Would definitely go back.

    Food was okay. Small portions and came out very quickly. The food was tasty. Our waiter was very nice and pleasant. Didn't appreciate the manager being rude to a staff member in the presence of the customers. She was trying to ask him a question and he responded in a very negative way. Not the best way to manage people. Decent experience, but would not recommend and we will not return. Thanks guy in the gray suit!
