    We had an amazing dinner at Sofia Restaurant! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the customer service was great from start to finish. We started with the kale salad and the housemade ricotta—the ricotta was phenomenal and absolutely not to be skipped. For our mains, we had the chicken and the pesto pasta, both of which were incredibly delicious and full of flavor.
