Sofia - New Orleans

This restaurant was a fantastic choice for a birthday dinner. The dining concept revolves around sharing multiple plates, but I found the pasta portions to be substantial enough to serve as a meal on their own. Both the lamb pasta and truffle risotto were delectable! The cocktails were enjoyable, and we also ordered an incredible dessert. We didn’t try the pizza, but they looked appealing and well-sized. We arrived early at 5:45, and while it was relatively empty at that time, the place quickly filled up, and by the time we left, every table was occupied. I definitely recommend making a reservation for dinner!

Amazing food! The Spicy pizza was exceptional, bursting with flavor and a delightful texture. It had a gorgeous sweetness from the honey and a hint of lemony taste as well! The meatballs were good, but nothing extraordinary. The pasta, however, was exactly what I desire in butter noodles—cooked to perfection, just the right amount of al dente. Chef's kiss!

The food at this restaurant was absolutely delicious, with the focaccia being my favorite dish. It was both rich and light, a perfect combination. We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Sunday and were fortunate to get a table for two right away, without any wait. By the time we started eating, the restaurant had filled up, and it seemed that wait times were likely close to an hour for those arriving later, so we really lucked out with our timing. Our waiter was polite, helpful, and had a great sense of humor. Whenever we had questions, he would respond with, "And I have answers for you!"

The atmosphere was fantastic, making it a perfect spot for date night. I really appreciated the decor, the lighting, the pizza oven, and the open kitchen design. They even have a chandelier made of cutlery and plates—how unique is that? As for the food, the kale salad was delightful! The pasta was flavorful, but I thought it was a bit pricey for the portion size. The pizza, however, was just average. I was really excited to see the oven and perhaps my high expectations led to some disappointment. The dessert was beautifully presented, which added to the experience, but it was too sweet for my taste and hard to finish. I would definitely return for drinks and appetizers!

This was a fantastic spot for a lovely birthday dinner. The idea here is to share several plates, but I found the pasta portions substantial enough to be a meal on their own when you choose. Both the lamb pasta and truffle risotto were absolutely delicious! The cocktails were enjoyable, and we also ordered a dessert that was equally amazing. Although we didn’t try the pizza, they looked very tempting. We arrived early (around 5:45 PM) and it was quite empty, but it quickly filled up. By the time we left, every table was occupied. I definitely recommend making a reservation for dinner!
