Francesco was our amazing waiter. When he found out we had lived in Italy, we had great conversations! The calamari fruit was amazing! And the pasta pescatore was delicious! They brought us tiramisu since we were celebrating our anniversary! It was a great experience! Highly recommended!

Sofi Italian Restaurant in Chicago was absolutely fantastic. We chose the coursed meal, and it far exceeded our expectations. Each dish was prepared beautifully, full of flavor without feeling heavy. The pacing was perfect, everything came out quickly and smoothly, but never rushed.
Our waiter, Masimo, truly elevated the experience. His attentiveness, warmth, and thoughtful recommendations were some of the best service we’ve ever had. He knew exactly when to check in, made us feel cared for, and clearly takes pride in what he does.
One of the things that stood out most was how balanced the meal was. Even with multiple courses, we left feeling satisfied and nourished instead of overly full or sluggish. The portions were generous but thoughtfully curated so you could enjoy everything without it being overwhelming.
The atmosphere was quiet, polite, and relaxing, the kind of place where you can actually enjoy your conversation and settle into the moment. Overall, Sofi delivered a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be returning.

A fantastic Italian restaurant! I’ve been there a few times, busy or slow, it is a great place for some quality Italian food. The ambience is cozy and a wonderful place to have a date. The service has always been excellent. Highly recommend it.

Had a great experience at this wonderful Italian restaurant. The service was awesome and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was the star of the evening. We had a large group and had the opportunity to sample several dishes. The veal, seafood and pasta were perfect. Had the pasta with lobster sauce and large prawns, and panacatta custard for desert which was incredible. Highly recommended for a large group or quaint couples night out.

Great Italian restaurant! Good appetizers and pasta. Highly recommend the caprese salad! Good wine selection as well. Perfect for a group outing while we were here in town for a conference.

My aunt and I were shopping and walking around the city, and were recommended this place by locals. Asked to be seated outside and we had the most handsome and kindest waiter! He was just so sweet honestly, and the food was divine!! I got a tortellini pasta with prosciutto for the main and the leek and potatoe soup as a starter . My aunt got Alfredo and bruschetta she’s a simple girl. The food was amazing though . Would love to come back in the summer !

The Valentines Day service was awful. Took forever to order our drinks (waiter didn’t even ask if he wanted drinks) with no check-ins after. The food was serviceable but not comparable to Italian spots in Chicago of a similar price point. The atmosphere was poor given the ceiling with a huge brown water stain on it and the fact that we were seated by a door where you can see into their storage area.
I’m sure they have some very talented chefs working there that are mad they’re getting screwed by the fact that the front of house has already made the customer feel annoyed and ignored before the first bite.

Went here for my birthday and ordered from the pre-theatre menu, it was fantastic! We tried the tuna carpaccio, meatballs, risotto, and a penne dish. The tiramisu was so good, and I got some espresso after dinner which was great. My only criticism is that the meatballs were just a tiny bit dry but the sauce was great. 100% would come here again!

Solid place, nice but not over the top. Really liked the short rib and scallops. Could do with more sauce in some of the pasta dishes and salad we tried. The desserts were great.

Beautiful cozy place in south loop. Recommend making reservations especially on weekends. Food was good, was missing a bit more flavor but overall a good experience.
