“Last night was truly a one of a kind experience for my husband and I. From the moment we walked into the door, being greeted so warmly by the owner. Throughout our meal the staff was genuine and kind with helping us celebrate our wedding anniversary. Making us both feel truly special. I have never experienced this level of top notch service in a restaurant in my life. Thank you for a wonderful night and experience, Tonya C“

“From the moment we were greeted by Ava with her phenomenal personality, to spending time at the bar with Nick, all the way through our meal served by Ethan, this evening was a delight. The food was delicious, the service exemplary, and the staff were personable and professional.“

“I've dined at Sophia on Lafayette multiple times, and each time has been a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is inviting and vibrant, and there's a genuine sense of happiness throughout the space that makes you want to linger a little longer. The staff is consistently friendly, attentive, and welcoming, as if you are a guest in someones home. Most recently, I tried their takeout meals to go option, and it was as impressive as dining in. The stuffed shells and shrimp scampi were absolutely delicious and traveled well. I am a realtor and always recommend the restaurant to new home owners, knowing its a home run!“

“Everything was phenomenal!“

“Thoughtful service, satisfying wine choices, and very good pasta dishes. We enjoyed it very much“

“Love the food. I was disappointed that we were told we couldn’t sit in a booth. She said the booths were All reserved. We had a toddler who does so much better in a booth. I honestly considered walking out. We ate and left and only 2 parties came in and used the booth leaving approximately 95 percent of the booths open.“

“Never expected it. Plenty of choices. Restaurant or premade meals. I got the turkey dinner $10.99. Just heat it up in the microwave. Turkey, smashed potatoes and gravy, mixed vegetables and stuffing. Need more places like this. To much fast food out there. Thx.“

“Would give it an (overall) 5 rating and 4 (food) rating given a little more sauce on the pasta, and WAY less salt on the bread rolls - which I cannot even eat without scraping first. Regular stop for the wife and I for Spaghetti with Meatballs and sometimes, Sausages. With the Meat Sauce, a very tasty meal for the price, though I believe the portions of the sauce have been reduced recently, lowering it's value as well. All meals come with a choice of soup or salad, I choose the salad regularly (lettuce, tomato, onion and croutons, Italian dressing and optional fresh grated cheese). The tiramisu is to die for and the wine (Red Blend) very nice at the price.“

“Such a great night! The food is fabulous, and the staff is amazing! Definitely a go to.“

“We love the sandwich. Young man who waited on us was very friendly.“

Found out new spot! Thank you so much. See you soon!“

“I am a cannoli junkie. I was walking back to the hotel and saw the sign and had to get a cannoli. It's a character flaw!
The cannoli was made to order and was amazing.
I'd have taken a picture, but it didn't make it back to the hotel...
It's not fancy or high-society dining, but it was one hell of a delicious cannoli!!“
