Having been to Italy recently, I found the food to be "authentically Italian" -- not overly seasoned but very flavorful. Portions were perfect -- not too large. Pasta was al dente, which is not common here in the U.S. Will definitely go back.

Great food with bottomless mimosas! My wife and I ordered the croque madame, lemon ricotta pancakes, and a pasta dish and loved all three plates. Our server was attentive but not overbearing. Definitely the best brunch I've had in a while!

I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Via Sophia, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a chic Italian vibe that made it perfect for a midday escape. The menu had a great selection of authentic Italian dishes, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Cacio e Pepe—perfectly al dente pasta with a creamy, peppery sauce that was bursting with flavor. We also tried the Margherita Pizza, which was fresh, perfectly crisp, and just the right size to share. The service was impeccable—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great wine pairing suggestions to complement our meal. Overall, Via Sophia is a gem for Italian cuisine lovers, whether you’re dining with friends, colleagues, or just treating yourself. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their dishes! Highly recommend for anyone in search of a top-notch Italian lunch spot. 👌🇮🇹

The food was very good — the only strange thing about the experience was that, when we ordered “Bucatini Carbonara”, we were served linguini? It was delicious nonetheless, but I was confused at how this upscale and traditional italian restaurant served the wrong pasta noodle for a dish clearly named “Bucatini Carbonara”.

Best dining experience have had in a LONG time. After we convinced the greeter to move us out of the bar (thank god) and into the pretty dining room we had such a delightful time. The server was so cool and interesting - and didn’t rush us. The bruschetta was over the top fabulous. Tuna tartar was loved by our friends. So we were having such good luck with appetizers we stuck with them with apple salad and cheese and got one pasta dish. And the bread they served was fabulous too. Wine by glass was great too although not a generous pour. The donuts snd gelato were wonderful as well. And it was relatively quiet which wasn’t an experience we have too often. Have already told other friends about it. Nice job Via Sophia !!
