    The food was very good and the menu selections were unique. Our waiter was professional and personable. The ambiance was very nice. Two things detracted. When you have your own parking lot, which was mostly empty, to force patrons to pay a valet to park your car 20 feet from your front door is annoying. The second thing is, in the state of Texas is illegal to charge a surcharge of using a credit card, yet you charged a 3 percent surcharge for “ non cash” payments. You should stop that practice.

    The food and service were excellent! But we thought the value of the food wasnt in-line. We were celebrating an anniversary and birthday and were charged for 2 desserts when we didnt ask for the desserts (nor were asked if we wanted them). Just didnt leave a good vibe when we got the check.

    Decided to come here for an anniversary based off recommendation. From the start, it was perfect. The decor and set up of the restaurant made it feel relaxed and intimate. Our server was amazing and not only made our day special but made it a memory and that goes for the entire staff. Ever since my partner and I went to Italy Italian food has been ruined and has not tasted the same, but we can gladly say that this is the closest and best food that pays homage to Italy that we have tried in Houston. Will absolutely be coming back and trying more of their delicious food and wine.

    The restaurant is beautiful, especially at night. The service is good and the people are nice. However, the food is bland and uninspired. I thought this when I first went there for dinner in its opening weeks, when my husband and I had dinner. Fast forward a year or so, I met a friend there for lunch. Still uninspired food. Basic and boring with little flavor.

    Great place for Sunday brunch out on the patio. They had live music that was loud enough to enjoy but not where you had to shout over it. Must try: 1) grilled oysters (tad on the small size but) well seasoned and flavorful 2) grilled octopus, tentacles well charred and the accompanying sauce was a delight 3) cacio e pepe, a classic 4) bloody Mary has a nice kick but not over the top spicy 5) salted caramel brownie ice cream is made in house 6) salads are enough for 2 to share. Look forward to going back

    Castlefranco-bitter greens salad is BITTER BEYOND palatable. Avoid it. Know that, unlike just about every other restaurant and commercial establishment that no longer accepts cash, this restaurant actually penalizes you if you pay by credit card rather than cash, by assessing a 3.5% upcharge. And they don’t tell you upfront. You are informed about it when the bill is presented to you. Who carries cash on them these days? Just about no one. So basically the restaurant doesn’t want to pay a credit card fee and passes it on to the customer. Felt sleazy to me, especially how you learn of it at the end of the meal.

    Stepping inside and receiving a warm welcome from the staff was just a small piece of how well the establishment is. Our waiter was always on top of our needs and was always around for when we had questions. The food came out very quickly to my surprise. Everything we had ordered came out perfect and delicious. We most definitely be back.

    We went here on Valentine’s day. It was very busy, our table was booked for 9pm, but didn’t get us in until 9:30pm. The food was excellent, cacio e pepe was really good. The ambiance on this place is very romantic. The price point was okay. The service was very poor, maybe the reason was because it was a busy occasion, the guy who served us wasnt very accommodating.

    I ate at Trattoria Sofia on Valentine's Day for the first time and was thoroughly disappointed. Our reservation was at 8:30. We arrived and were told we had to wait 30 minutes. At 9, we were told another 10 minutes making our entire wait 40 minutes for a reservation we made weeks prior. Waiting wasn't the problem, but the rude host made it a problem. He had no empathy for the countless couples being told they had to wait half an hour for their reserved tables. The only thing that helped this situation was that eventually they started passing around free glasses of wine. Our server wasn't the best and forgot an appetizer we ordered. So after waiting 40 minutes, not even our server was able to make the experience better. She also never made eye contact with us and seemed frazzled and upset by the crowded atmosphere. The drinks weren't good, the entrees were oddly salty. Overall, worst restaurant experience I have had and on Valentine's Day of all days

    I booked my first reservation here for a valentines date dinner, and upon arriving we were greeted with super quick valet, and a huge lit up LOVE sign. Even though we waited extra 30 minutes to be seated at our table we were absolutely amazed at the incredible service, and the amount consideration the staff and manager had for making us wait. The food, service, and the live violinist made it all worth it. We will definitely be coming back!!
