Warm yet modest Italian restaurant with a bar, pastas & many gourmet specialty entrees.

We used to love this place, but we’re not sure what happened this time — maybe things have changed since our last visit. We came for a Valentine’s Day dinner and, sadly, most of the food tasted off. It was a fixed-price menu with an appetizer, salad, main course, and dessert.
The salad tasted like plain vinegar with a little oil — no salt or real flavor. The appetizer was extremely greasy, almost like it had been fried at the wrong temperature. For the main course, we all ordered different dishes, but none were very good. The fish especially was oily and seemed improperly fried.
This used to be one of our favorite restaurants, so we expected a better experience, especially paying over $65 per person. Overall, it was a pretty disappointing Valentine’s dinner.
That said, we still really love the people who work there — they’ve always been kind and welcoming. Because of that, we may give it another try in the future and hopefully be able to update this review on a more positive note.

Went here for dinner after a funeral with friends. At first when we entered, I thought it may be too small as 2 of us utilize motorized chairs. However, as we were escorted further in, there was enough space for us.
The atmosphere was nice, kind of romantic and the music was from the 80’s which we as 50 yr olds appreciated.
We were greeted by Luis who is one of the nicest waiters I have had the pleasure of being served by. He made recommendations and all were good ones. The white wine sangria with watermelon was absolutely delicious.
The bread…..YUM! Appetizers were so good, esp. the octopus which was my favorite. We also had mussels but no pic since they were gone before I got a pic.
The entrees were a nice size, with fresh pasta and sauce. My chicken parm was so tender as well. I got dessert to go because I was too full to eat more. Hopefully my daughter didn’t eat them both so I can take a pic and taste them.
Will visit again and ask for Luis.

Just had a WONDERFUL Christmas eve dinner !! Started out with the stuffed calamari – 3 pieces & the mixed green salad ( for those who like Romaine, arugula & radiccio, with thick Julienne style sliced beets – this salad’s for you ) continued with the linguine fruttti di mare – as you can see from the photos- with shrimp clams, scallops & mussels ( on the menu in a red sauce, I requested a white clam sauce – delicious !! ) followed by a single broiled lobster tail – PERFECTLY prepared, with broccoli – also perfect & 2 potato wedges – toasty on the outside & fluffy on the inside. Ended the meal with a cappuccino & Italian cheesecake.
Luis – the very accommodating young waiter, couldn’t have been nicer ( he helped to make it a lovely evening – I appreciate him, & his father, Sergio working on Christmas eve )

I recently dined at Sofia in Brooklyn, and it was an exceptional experience. The food was nothing short of spectacular. The service was equally impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.

The food was really bad, it took long to get it, even we were the ONLY ones at the restaurant… Service was ok… I think they could do better hiring a chef who knows how to cook… The salad was the worst, it took me two spoons to realize how much I didn’t want to eat it… The Aperol was not even ok, just meh, so sad to see those ingredients treated this way… Feel sorry for the servers, because there is not an amount of good service that can compensate good food…

Wonderful service. Delicious food. Our party of 8 shared hot and cold antipasto. Mozzarella en carozza, baked clams, grana padano, sun dried tomatoes, salami and more. Everything was fresh and delicious. As an entree, I ordered squid ink pasta with shrimp, crabmeat and a red sauce. Really tasty, the pasta was perfectly cooked. For dessert we had poached pears. Lovely. Valet parking. A great dinner spot.

My group had wonderful dinner. The food was excellent, from appetizers to entrees to dessert and even the drinks. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating. The wait between appetizers and entrees was a little long, but worth the wait. I would definitely go back.
