" Absolutely loved my meal at Via Sofia's! I had a rich tomato basil penne alfredo with grilled chicken that was fantastic. The atmosphere felt incredibly welcoming, and what a lovely touch to have the staff check in consistently! The portions were huge, we all left happy! Highly recommending it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Via Sofia's was a solid experience. Had the spaghetti and meatballs, which had a good flavor and texture. The garlic bread was pretty good too—nicely toasted. The place had a nice vibe. Only downside was the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. However, I’d still say the portions were generous and made it a good value meal overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Via Sofia's after hearing all the praise online. The food was quite tasty, and the ambiance was lovely. However, I was disappointed with the portion sizing. I expected more for the price I paid. Additionally, though the staff were friendly, the wait time for food was a bit longer than I anticipated. I might return to see if it was just a one-time issue. " (*Curated Review*)

" Via Sofia's is not only a cozy spot but also serves up some of the best Italian around. I had their pepperoni pizza and was impressed by the crisp crust and ample toppings. Service was attentive and the atmosphere felt familial. Portions were generous, and we left feeling satisfied. It's a great place for get-togethers with friends and family. Will definitely return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Via Sofia's a few times now and have always left happy! The food is consistently good, particularly their homemade marinara sauce. It has a lovely balance of flavors that really shines in their spaghetti. I love how generous the portions are; I usually have leftovers for lunch the next day. The staff is always friendly, too. I do think there are some inconsistencies during the busier hours, but overall a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My buddy recommended Via Sofia's, so I decided to give it a try! I was impressed with the service from the get-go. I ordered the penne arrabbiata, and the spice level was perfect for my palate. It came in a hefty portion, much to my delight. The garlic bread complemented the dish beautifully! I left feeling very full and satisfied. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Via Sofia's has become my family's favorite Italian spot. The food is consistently delicious. Every time we go, the garlic bread seems to taste better! I often order the baked ziti, which is cheesy and delicious. The portion sizes are perfect, always enough for leftovers. The ambiance is inviting and has a nice family feel. We always look forward to our next meal here! " (*Curated Review*)
