Walking into Sophia's, you'll quickly be met by their dim & intimate ambiance. It's very cozy while also being upscale. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe for my meal and I'm glad that I did! The pasta was perfect thanks to its smooth texture and the combination of ingredients that make it buttery, creamy, and cheesy. The portion is a good size that can fill you up! I also got a side of broccolini which was also great. The bell pepper & onion that it came with paired well with the taste of the grill. The service was okay and I wish it could've been better. My waiter did what he was supposed to, the bare minimum, and that's it. Other than that, I had a great time and will be back!
Lots of great food options. We were here with a big party and I liked almost everythibg I tasted. The Brussel sprouts are amazing and the chicken is the best I've ever had. I had the bolognese, which is good and has a little kick. The prices are a little high for the portion sizes, but not terrible. I think the small plates offer the most bang for your buck.
Wow the lobster bucatini was crazy good! Pricey but their food is done very well. Their bread rolls were also some of the best we'd ever had. The lighting is minimal so be prepared for an intimate meal and ask for a few extra candles! Ha!
I used to come to this place under a different name (Bess) and finally got around to heading over here for a dinner. I went with a Meatball, wondering if that might be enough. It was, and it was delicious. I’d forgotten how good they can be! Great service and cozy atmosphere.
Not certain on parking as I live downtown and could just walk over. It’s easily seen driving west on W 6th St and right next to a nearby wine place and Little Woodrow’s.
This place has a beautiful terrace. AND everyone needs to try a Trenta cocktail🍸. Perfect way to beat the heat. Happy Hour prices are sweet too. Skip traffic in style.
Great pasta and service. I really like the shrimp pasta I had. It was simple but had a great kick from the spiced olive oil it was cooked in. I will definitely be back in again.
No words can describe what an amazing meal we had at this restaurant. To begin our evening we had Chase as our bartender as we hung out for a while. He helped us select a great Italian wine to start the evening right. When we were ready we were seated and promptly met by Floyd our server. He had several suggestions and was extremely helpful. We had the bread...which was probably the best I’ve ever had and I have traveled the world. We also had the meatball and lasagna. I have to say the meatball was outstanding. Highly recommend all of the above. The manager Eric was the best! He came over several times to make sure we were happy with our meal and service. I’m telling you this is a great restaurant and the service was extraordinary!!
Very intimate, nicely decorated restaurant. Expect to spend a pretty penny for drinks, dinner and any appetizers or sides. The food was very tasty, nothing out of this world, but it was enjoyable. Our server was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and attentive throughout the evening. Overall, we really had a great time and will return.
Sophia's served the best meal I have had this year. We all had something different and all of it was wonderful. I had the pork chops and veal meatballs. It was the best pork chop I've had at any restaurant, including any previous specialty steak house I've been too. The service was great and they had a great cocktail menu. Austin has a lot of fantastic restaurants and this one is a must visit. I will definitely be returning to try some of the other menu options.
This place has absolutely amazing food... my wife and I have been missing great Italian food since our wedding in Italy and Sophia's fulfilled our yearning. The wine list is a little short and I think priced a little high, but it's also good... just not nearly as amazing as the food which is exceptional!
The atmosphere is also quite nice, a quaint location for some great food. Would consider going back for happy hour for drinks and definitely anytime for the food!
