We came here on the 29th for the first time for dinner for my wife's Birthday. I have to say we never saw lasagne on the menu and I thought oh no I've made a mistake here (wife's favourite dish) however, From start to finish our 2 waiters Kevin and Antonio were absolutely amazing. Great with the kids, and attentive to us all the whole time we were in. Ordered drinks and soon after our food. The starter and the kids meals came out not long after and they finished the lot. I had the pizza which was amazing and my wife had the arrabiata pasta and let me taste a bit and we both agreed it was the best Arrabiata sauce we have ever tasted!!! Then we shared the chocolate sphere desert with warm caramel sauce and almond cake and honeycomb pieces. It yasted amazing and reminded me of a sticky toffee pudding but it was amazing. What made it more special was the fact they brought it out with a candle and sang Happy Birthday to her and the whole restaurant followed in unison. Lovely night at a lovely restaurant and with the amazing staff you will struggle to find a better Italian for a lovely night out. We will definitely be back soon !!!

Had a really lovely evening tonight with my girls for a Christmas night out, absolutely beautiful venue and huge portions of food with really great value as well. The wine and cocktails were lovely and the service was absolutely excellent from all staff. Yvonne & the lovely gentlemen that served us made our evening truly special and we can’t wait to come back!

Had a lovely meal here with a friend and her baby and staff were so friendly and attentive despite it being so busy. The food was fresh and delicious, loads of choice on the menu, can’t wait to come back and try more. Price point reflects the quality, ideal for a special occasion.

Lovely food, service all very friendly. Had the lasagna fritta to start was good, then the risottata as main course was great flavouring. Other dishes I tried the focaccia and margherita also as my son was having them both good quality. Will return again another day.

Really good Italian food - fantastic flavours done with a modern twist. Based on our lunch for four today, I’d highly recommend Sofia. Friendly welcoming staff, quick service, taste and presentation of food is all excellent and the bright decor gives you the feeling of ‘holidays’. Lots of choice on their set menu (served from lunch until 5pm ) or the full A La Carte all day/evening. We enjoyed the starters and pasta dishes, Pollo Milanese is excellent. Pizzas looked fantastic too - lots of good reasons to come back again, and again? A busy and popular restaurant, so call ahead to book if you can?

Busy Saturday late afternoon booking & the service was top notch, attentive and friendly staff, Kevin who served us was great. Food came beautifully presented, also pretty fast, tasted delicious. Lasagna Fritta was the standout along with the beef Ragu for mains, the seafood pasta was also fantastic. Price was decent, cocktails we had were so lovely (spicy Margarita) we had 2 each. We will definitely be back.

I went here for the first time on Sunday evening and wanted to try it as ive had a good experience in Santa Lucia in Merchant City. We were promptly greeted and seated, great atmosphere and fast service. A special thanks to our waiter who im sure his name was Zoltan (sorry if this is spelled incorrectly) he was very professional, and always made sure we had our water topped up and also had a few light hearted jokes with us which was good. Kudos to the chefs aswell because starter, main and dessert were all fantastic and good value for money.
