About Via Sophia by the Sea

Via Sophia by the Sea offers a pleasant dining experience with great service and a beautiful room overlooking the ocean. The dinner menu includes a variety of dishes, such as lobster bucatini, shrimp Campetelli, gnocchi, and salmon. The shrimp is cooked perfectly, but the sauce lacks flavor, while the salmon is sometimes served undercooked. The pasta can be swapped for gluten-free penne. Bread is not always served promptly, but the staff quickly rectifies the situation. Olive oil and vinegar are provided, but the olive oil is plain. A complimentary dessert is sometimes given for special occasions. The noise level is perfect, making it a nice spot for a meal. Customers have mixed experiences, with some loving everything about their dinner and others finding the food disappointing, including overcooked gnocchi and overly salty dishes. However, the cocktails are great, and the restaurant's prime location on the boardwalk with lovely outdoor seating adds to its appeal.
