My family and I came here for lunch and we absolutely loved it! Great staff, great service and so much yummy food! The lobster ravioli is especially amazing! I especially loved the house Chardonnay it definitely got me a little tipsy in the best way! My sister drank the margarita and absolutely loved it as well! My dad as always got the Sangria Wine which is always divine! Our waiter even ended the lunch giving us limoncellos shots on the house. As someone who lived in Italy I said yes to these immediately! All around great service and my family and I will be coming back whenever we are in Little Italy
This is my go to place every time I visit NYC. It’s a must! Every plate I’ve tried is outstanding. Their pasta and sauces are true authentic, made from scratch, and you can tell. The garlic bread is absolute heaven too. I live in Texas and I’ve been trying to find a place here at home that comes close to Sophia’s and can’t. This place is the bees knees! They also have a great wine and cocktail selection. The Sangria is my favorite. I highly recommend this place.
I was recommended this place by a local in little Italy. The service and food were phenomenal! Our server ‘Rich’ Recommended the gnocchi w/ burrata special of the day and we decided to add pink sauce. Great choice :) Thank you for having us.
THE most AMAZING service!!! And delicious food! DIEGO and the entire staff were very attentive but not annoyingly so (extra stars for that). Food was fresh, tasty and seasoned to perfection! I’d definitely recommend! Mango salad, Chef’s Special (lobster and shrimp with stuffed raviolis, cherry tomatoes and asparagus)!
I had an amazing experience at Sofia’s! From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere felt warm and authentic. Our server, Rich, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was incredible, fresh, flavorful, and classic Italian comfort at its best. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks, Rich and the Sofia’s team, for a memorable evening!
My husband and me were really surprised by this restaurant !!!! We were strolling through Manhattan’s Little Italy, looking for a place to eat, when we were warmly greeted by a host—his name was Rich. He struck up a really kind conversation with us, and though he was a bit persistent, he was incredibly polite and welcoming. He even showed us pictures of the restaurant’s homemade pasta on his phone, all while keeping a bright smile. His enthusiasm caught our attention, and when we looked at the menu, we were immediately intrigued. Once we stepped inside, we loved the atmosphere right away. But what stood out the most was the exceptional staff—everyone was incredibly friendly! When we sat down, our server, along with the shift manager, approached us, and it was immediately clear that they were true professionals. The service was outstanding—attentive, fast, and genuinely warm. And, of course, the food was delicious! Looking back, we can say that it was thanks to Rich that we chose this place, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in New York. From the service to the food, everything was just perfect!"
Highly recommend- the food was absolutely delicious. Flor was an amazing host- she was so hospitable, and happy to have us around. Please try the gnocchi! They were perfectly made, the were fully homemade!
The food was pretty good. I had lobster ravioli and my son had lasagna. The food was filling and tasted decent. My mojito was not good. Not sweet and too much lime. Our bull was about 115. Gratuity included.
