    Starting with the positive, the pizza was really great! The environment was beautiful as well. The service was bad, our server rarely came and checked on us or refilled waters and was super slow. The seafood appetizer was disgusting. It was a bunch of cold crab claws with no meat, cold fish dip that tasted like a gas station tuna sandwich served up with a lunch box bag of potato chips. That was a complete waste of $30. There’s great pizza many places so I wouldn’t go back for it.

    I am gluten free as is my husband. We tried Sofia based on reading that they had gluten free options. I am happy to report that we were able to have the whipped ricotta with Gf bread as an apprenticed and ordered a pizza and pasta both GF. Everything was amazing. One of the hardest parts of being gluten free is how tasteless most things are. However that was not the case at Sofia. Everything we had was amazing and no reactions

    Food is overpriced for portion and taste. Our waitress was miserable and unfriendly. But it was Xmas Eve, so.. It's probably good for a date night with pizzas, not so much for family.

    I had eaten at Sofia previously and really liked it. The pasta was cold and stuck together. The pizza was decent and the desserts were good. We felt rushed even though the restaurant had cleared out. The waiter brought the check without asking about dessert. However, we told him we wanted dessert and it was the best part of the meal.

    Sofia is always an incredible experience but especially tonight’s! We had 10 people and the waitress was so attentive (I think her name was Rhianon) and fast with our drinks and food as well as being so kind. Thank you so much Sofia for giving us a fantastic night out! 12/18/2024
