Our Thanksgiving experience was less than expected. Our waitress was excellent! However, the a la carte usual Italian menu was not offered as advertised, which was very disappointing. It would have been professional of management to let guests know that beforehand or, at the very least, offer some sort of compensation.

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 !!

We had a late lunch, five at a round table. At 1pm it was difficult to have a conversation but talking was easy by the time we left. Service was excellent and food was very reasonable. The three course $26 lunch is a bargain. Full servings of each of the courses. Would definitely go back.

Food was okay. Small portions and came out very quickly. The food was tasty. Our waiter was very nice and pleasant. Didn't appreciate the manager being rude to a staff member in the presence of the customers. She was trying to ask him a question and he responded in a very negative way. Not the best way to manage people. Decent experience, but would not recommend and we will not return. Thanks guy in the gray suit!

the server was horrible. She delivered our aperativos AFTER we got our meal. She totally forgot. The food came. The pasta was an expensive $24 for 5 small ravioli that were dry. The steak was very small and there was a huge grizzle running through it. I would not return.

We went for a birthday dinner and the service, food, and ambiance were excellent. While the others at the table loved pasta, I do not and they had a number of alternate options that all looked delicious. The cocktail and wine list was extensive and offered unique options.
