A word from Sovana Bistro

Sovana Bistro has been a staple in the Unionville community since opening in 1998 and has evolved into a highly regarded dining destination. The menu is made up of two sections - our well known "staples" and our always changing "taste of the season". The kitchen creates simple hand-made food,… inspired from many areas of the world and seeks to source ingredients that are available in their appropriate season. The service reflects a gracious approach to hospitality and genuine concern for each and every guest's experience.Continued

"I mentioned that I was going to be celebrating getting engaged and it seemed that everyone on the staff knew when we showed up. Everyone congratulated us and made us feel special.

Great food, great service, and very nice staff. Needless to say we'll be back again and again."

"Great server - Abby. Nice to eat outside on the side patio - although it will be nicer when they lift the side panels to the outside. And as always, the food was stellar! Had the special pork belly appetizer - lots of fun, interesting flavors. The lemon ricotta cake was light and lemony -"

"Had a girlfriends' lunch and it was wonderful. We shared one of the pizzas, the broccoli rabe, and fish tacos. Everything was so good that I can't even come up with any constructive criticism. I highly recommend a reservation on Fridays at lunch. Fortunately, we had one, but people without one were on a waiting list. It's a little bit of a drive from Wilmington, but well worth it!"

"I relied on OpenTable reviews in choosing this restaurant; the accolades are accurate and deserved. The restaurant's open design and decor make for a noisy place once it fills up, but that's a small negative in the context of the very fine food and excellent service."
