    We have enjoyed dining at Sofi many times over the years. We decided to try their Christmas Eve special menu. The food was a couple of levels below their usual excellent offerings. From presentation to taste, it wasn't what we expected. We will certainly go back, but I will stick to their regular menu from now on.

    Absolutely fabulous food and a great authentic staff, many of which are speaking Italian. The prosciutto and melon was delicious as were the wrapped scallops with leeks. The filet and veal ravioli was also outstanding. Sofi is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Chicago. Highly recommended!

    We found all the food bland. Each dish was mediocre at best They were packed, though, so we suppose there are plenty who like dull flavourless food.

    Food was good and came out timely. The service checks on you periodically, they aren’t by constantly if some are looking for that. There was a lull where I could have used a drink refill but otherwise no complaints at all. The atmosphere is a little quiet and older feel but that’s fine.
