    Sofia’s is beautiful, the food is good, and the service was excellent. I drive around for 20 minutes and couldn’t find parking even though they have a lot - it was full. Maybe some valet service? Once I got in and had dinner, it was excellent. But a July Thursday night trying to find parking? Oy.

    Every year the adults in our family shore house escape the kids and venture out of Ocean City for a kid free dinner and this year we chose Aroma di Mare! There were 8 of us and we ALL loved our food and our server Marissa was fantastic! We had the octopus appetizer which was grilled to perfection, the watermelon burrata, the antipasto, and the bruschetta. Dinners were the Risotto di Mare, short rib, lobster ravioli, and the pork chop (which my boyfriend the self proclaimed pork chop expert said was top 2 he’s ever had!). We will DEFINITELY be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
