Great food, energetic and fun atmosphere. The parking lot is very small, so it was tough to get parked. I ordered a beer which came as I was trying to pay my bill, otherwise very good service. I’d definitely go back.

The staff ruined the experience - aloof, rude to the point we walked out vowing never to return. Do not expect a pleasant experience. And this was mid- week - restaurant empty save for 4 others. Cannot fathom the treatment on a busy night. Beware.

Trattoria Sofia is a great restaurant for anyone who loves italian food! Their menu is really big, and everything my family ate was awesome. We had 3 different appetizers, each had a different main course, and we shared two desserts and loved it all. My personal favorite was the cacio de pepe, and it reminded me of an awesome meal I had in Rome while on vacation. The wine menu is huge as well, the service was excellent, our waiter was very helpful, nice and funny, and the atmosphere inside and on the huge covered patio is great! Try this place!

Food was just OK. Most dishes were too salty and both the Swordfish and chicken parmesan were overcooked and dry. We requested the pasta be served before the mains but they all came together. We didn't finish most of the dishes and decided to take the left overs home. They were boxed, put into a bag by the staff and brought to the table with the bag upright. It wasn't until we were getting out of the car we realized the boxes were on their side and had leaked all over.

Overall good experience with the exception of the following: * They do not serve non-alcoholic beer on the drinks menu * We had a two flies in the dining room which simply wouldn't leave * Bucatini pasta was a little overcooked in my opinion Irrespective of the above the restaurant is worth giving a try.

Our first visit to this Italian foodie spot in the Heights. Bread sampler and warm olives were the perfect starters on this warm May night. Three areas for seating…bar, restaurant and patio. Lamb ragu was a table favorite as was the monkfish (lobster-like). Desserts are worth the wait…salted caramel pudding was luscious and limoncello sorbet satisfied the sweet tooth. Some plates like the veal are massive and definitely shareable.

We booked brunch for Mother’s Day weeks in advance and chose patio seating because it stated their would be live music and that the patio was “climate controlled”. To me, that meant you would be comfortable whether it was hot or cold outside. Of course Mothers Day ended up being the hottest day of the year, and the patio is in no way climate controlled for heat. It was overwhelming hot and our elderly moms were miserable. In addition, there was no live music. They also stated online weeks ahead that they would post the brunch menu which never happened so we had no idea what they would be serving for brunch. I even called to ask a few days before and was told they didn’t know what was on it. We decided to take the risk because we really wanted to go. We sat down and were given this special brunch menu that none of us were excited about and all ordered from the lunch menu instead. Overall, we were very disappointed and tried to hurry and finish our meal so we could leave asap and get out of the heat. When you’re spending $300 on a meal, you expect to be comfortable. Needless to say, we won’t make the mistake of sitting on their patio during the summer, and I just wish they would have warned all guests ahead of time who made a patio reservation especially when they saw what the temperature was going to be that day.

Pretty venue, but noisy and climate control way too breezy. Drinks were warm. Consensus was the food was "ok" but price point was higher than it should be in this time, despite sourcing problems. Won't likely be using Open Table to book again since the only option on a Wednesday evening around 5PM about 5 days ahead were tables outside when clearly when we arrived there were available ones inside. Glad to see new restaurants in the neighborhood, but will wait for awhile - a long while before trying again.
