Sofia's Fine Italian Cuisine Restaurant

"Driving back to Newark in the pouring rain. Decided to find a place along the way. Had a really good dinner. Huge menu. The Italian cheesecake is a winner. My business associate inhaled the lasagna."

"Yum I love the pasta off the specials menu the salad was amazing lots of choices the rice ball was delicious. Also had a cappuccino so good. Great place to have a party. I’ll have to stop in for lunch one day soon."

"At the moment of seating the waiter throw the menus in the table like poker cards. Then a few minutes later the sliced cold bread arrived to our table. It was a little hard to eat but it was included. We had Fried Calamari for appetizer, that was good, fresh, well cooked. The sauce was unflavored, it was missing more garlic and herbs flavor. For main dishes we ordered Chicken Parmesan, it was good but the sauce was missing more flavor, salt and pepper. Chicken Francese, was not good. It had the intention but didn't became what it was supposed. Very week lemon flavor and needed more weight on the sauce. Also the dish came alone without any side pasta or vegetables. Penne alla Vodka, it was very good. Well cooked with a balanced flavor. Will just add more sauce to it. And finally, I got Pork with peppers, the flavor was very good but it has some parts that needed to be more cooked. But I guess it was because of the thickness of the cut. For dessert we have Italian Cheesecake and Chocolate Mousse Cake, the cakes were ok but the Italian Cheesecake can be much better. Because of the price and service I will give it a 3.5 - 3.9 stars. If they serve hot or warm bread, the waiters refine their manners, improve the details when serving, and improve the sauce they can have above 4 stars. We spend around $170 without any drinks (not including tip)."

"Nice place well located in Springfield - however service is really slow and the restaurant is BYOB, which is a bit surprising! The food is good, but it took nearly 45 minutes to arrive. Also, as with most places in the area, the servings are massive. The ambience is good, relatively upscale and a lot of Godfather and Goodfellas themed photographs around."

"First time at Sophia's but not my first time eating out. What a GREAT experience. The food was excellent, multiple workers circulating throughout the restaurant making sure all the guests had whatever they needed, bread, water , a bucket of ice. Very full menu to choose from and everything we had was just right. Highly recommend for anyone to try it out"
