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!"

I just discovered a new favorite restaurant! This was our first visit, and it was a wonderful experience. We started with the meatballs, which were incredibly flavorful and had a great texture. I was really satisfied with just two meatballs, haha! Next, we tried the House Ricotta, and wow, it was amazing. The balance of the cheese with the sweetness of the honey, complemented by the olive oil on the bread, was perfect. For my main course, I chose the cacio e pepe, and I’m so glad I did—it was outstanding! It ranks among the best cacio e pepe I’ve had, even compared to those in Rome. We ended up ordering a second bowl to share. My companion had the short rib ragu and really enjoyed it. We also shared the zeppole and panna cotta; they were good, but for me, the first two courses were definitely the highlight. The service was good, although our drinks took a little while to arrive from the bar. We will definitely be returning!
