This is my first time at this location and wow. Let’s start with the service. The hospitality that Mario and Jimmy showed is phenomenal. Jimmy was very knowledgeable of the menu. Mario checked on my table every moment. There wasn’t a time where i felt i wasn’t being taken care of. The two of them guaranteed my return to this location.

While we’re eating an crazily loud alarm sounded for many minutes. It was an mall alarm, but it was very disturbing. It definitely ruined my birthday dinner… it stopped, but it started again two or three times after.. the noise was disturbingly loud!!! Good food, good ambience, expensive

This is a cute location located in the center of Miami's design district, however everything at this restaurant is grossly overpriced and not worth your time or money. I love an elevated experience, and am used to bills being well over $250 per person, however the food was very basic, the wines were all within 3 years but priced as though they are vintage. The meat and seafood dishes come with no sides. The lobster pasta had barely any lobster. The branzino was flavorless and the skin was soggy, instead of that perfect crisp I am used to. Although the gamberino tasted decent, the dish only came with 4 pieces, no side. The pizzas are small and also extremely overpriced for what they offer, there is no imagination or variety in the menu. The preparation of the food/ technique by the chef and amount of food, and flavor was not worth the money at all. Overall the value was just extremely poor, however the ambience was cool for a date night or quick appetizers.

Went for brunch, we opted for the Miami spice menu, the bruschetta was pretty good however the hamburger was super average and they charge an additional $10 for it. I also got a desert (tiramisu) but it is more like a ice cream sandwich not that good. Overall the place has a cute outdoor area but the food is very average

My first time dining at Sofia & it really didn’t disappoint. The decor & interior is just gorgeous. The service was very good. I had the veal Milanese which was delicious & plentiful. The Lychee spritz however was the star of the show for me. Not only in flavour, but presentation. The only reason I didn’t give this a 5 star for service was after lunch my friend & I sat at the outside bar & after 10 minutes & two bartenders present, no one asked us what we wanted to drink or offered us a menu & there was no one else sitting at the bar at that time. A little more attention to clientele is required in that department. However, the overall experience was just wonderful. & I will be coming back soon with my Husband,

The four of us thoroughly enjoyed the Miami Spice lunch menu. Must order the Tonno, Rigatoni alla vodka with a perfectly spiced sauce!! Both desserts on Spice menu dreamy. The canoli shell was a perfect precursor to the light filling. That day the gelato was pistachio. If it is not offered when you are there beg for it!!!!!

Very disappointed! My burger was over cooked, the bread burned, I couldn't even bite on it. I was expecting a lot better for a $34 burger. I also had to clean my seat before seating because there was crumbs all over. Place was warm, AC was not working well. Manager never came to our table to apologize for the burned burger. Will never go back

Very mediocre food. Overcooked soft Cacio e Pepe, over fried dry Cotoletta alla milanese, was like a joke, really. Good appetizers, drinks are fine. Service is excellent, but can’t change the fact food is not ok. Would not come back.

Sadly this restaurant is not worth it to visit for me and the rest of 7 people on my table. Half of the table believe value for money the food and service was poor and the other half included myself couldn’t finish the main dish. To be fair appetizers were ok, but main dishes were less than acceptable. I was expecting more coming from some of the reviews posted here at open table, but we weren’t as luckiest as the positive reviewers.

Let’s start with the decor… if you like interior design, this is spectacular… the pink velvet banquets and the lovely outdoor raffia seating creates a vibe that is perfect for the design district. The pasta is made fresh and there is are a variety of choices. But my highest praise goes to the Limoncello…🥳 it’s made in house and I think I will return just for a dip of this deliciousness. The staff was attentive and warm, going out of their way to make the dining experience enjoyable.
