Grazie Trattoria da Sofia for a pleasant experience!“

Have always really liked this location for the friendly staff and will continue to be a patron!“

“Best cannoli of my life. This is an absolute must stop in Little Italy.“

“3/5 for a first timer during restaurant week… the special menu was $50 per person…. we never got any bread with our dinner (and didn’t realize we were left out until we were on dessert)… and, portions were small, so the bread would have been nice, especially for $50… also, the server made us make our food order at the same time as our drinks… personally, i like to have a drink or two before i order my food… so, the service was rushed in that sense… and no one asked me if i wanted a second glass of wine i had the veal and my friend had the lobster ravioli… both tasted decently but, again, small portions… the burrata was amazing and the desserts (tiramisu and lava cake) were pleasant i think i’d like to try again on a night that isn’t as busy, and order off of the actual menu“

Thank you to the entire family for old school food and service. 🙏“

“Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. So much delicious food! Chicken plate was fabulous, moist, and seasoned well. The lamb was tender and flavorful. Will be returning.“

“Placed an order for pickup, showed up at the pickup time and there were like 20 people standing around upset. The girl at the counter didn't say hi, wouldn't even acknowledge my existence. After 10 minutes of standing around I left. Eventually, my girlfriend went in and got our order (like 40 minutes after the pickup time). Food was great as always, service was garbage. I won't be returning to this location“

“Absolutely wonderful experience. Kind, polite. Nice to talk to and I absolutely appreciate that. But this pizza pie is on point. It's delicious. It's clean. It's light you eat a whole pot every few weeks and do it a dough cleanse and it takes everything out of your body. It's wonderful. Nothing else can do that.“

“I went as a solo traveler and sat at the bar. The staff was so sweet and friendly. They cleared extra space for me so I could order food (it is a pretty small bar area and I get the feeling food is not often served there) the house wine and eggplant parm were so good and again the staff were so mind and warm. Will definitely go again ❤️“

“Sandwiches are incredible! The lasagna is out of this world! Pizzas are the best! Service was amazing! GREAT PLACE!! If you have never tried, just go!“

“Me gusto la comida, el servicio todo super bien!“

“Our waitress Laurie was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable, and every dish we tried was bursting with authentic Italian flavor. Filippi’s Pizza Grotto in Mission Valley continues to deliver the best combination of delicious food, warm atmosphere, and outstanding service in all of San Diego.“

“Food is great, atmosphere very comfortable... but service is hit or miss. One day it's great; another day the server keeps disappearing and you can't get a breadstick to go with your soup until the soup is cold... very frustrating.“
