Trattoria Sofia never disappoints! They were incredibly accommodating for our party of 6, including a baby (7). While this wasn’t our first time dining here, it was our first time bringing a baby, and the experience was still amazing. The food NEVER misses—every dish is always perfectly crafted—and the service is consistently top-notch. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a casual dinner, this place always delivers. Highly recommend!

The sushi bar experience is excellent for solo diners. One of the head sushi chefs was very inviting and offered warm recommendations. The experience shows and is why you should try it out.

We had a memorable birthday evening here! Hudson was our server and he was excellent, patient in explaining the menu, and also listening well to our preferences. The result was a great experience. Every dish was unique and so tasty.

Beef is flank steak but prepared Parisian style unlike anywhere else in TX. Sole for 2 is the main of choice. Butterfly desert not to be missed, take photo of it. Order wine by the bottle, by glass is 4oz paring pour instead of typical 6. Well worth the wait for a reservation. Ignore sticker shock when the tab comes. A dining experience not to be missed. Don’t have to travel to France.
