" This is my go-to place for Italian when I'm in New Orleans! The wood-fired pizzas are the real deal. You can definitely tell they use high-quality ingredients that add to the authenticity of the dishes. While it does get busy, the service is usually very prompt. I highly recommend the margherita pizza and adding some extra burrata on top! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend this place enough! Sofia truly exceeded my expectations for Italian cuisine. The atmosphere is lively, and the service is second to none. I ordered the spicy pizza and it was absolutely phenomenal! The crust was perfectly crispy and the toppings were fresh. Not to mention, the ricotta appetizer was a delightful way to start our meal. I will definitely return next time I'm in NOLA! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who enjoys authentic Italian food, I was thrilled with my meal at Sofia! I had the commendatore pizza which was packed with flavor and had the perfect crust—crispy outside and fluffy inside. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the ambiance reminded me of eateries I visited in Italy. I definitely recommend trying the ricotta appetizer with the homemade focaccia; it was a highlight! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sofia with my friends, and we had a fantastic time! The food was delicious, and we particularly loved the pistachio cake. The atmosphere was vibrant, with a DJ playing some great music. However, I was a bit disappointed with the portion size of the pasta dishes; they felt a little small for the price. Otherwise, I had a great experience and would happily go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the best evening at Sofia! The wood-fired pizza was incredible, piping hot and bursting with flavor. Our waiter was efficient and attentive. I’m a regular now! If you like authentic Italian food and a lively atmosphere, this is the place to be. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with my family at Sofia, and it was a delightful experience! The ambiance was cozy and inviting; we especially enjoyed our time sitting outside. The dishes were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The only downside was the slow service, but it didn't ruin our evening. I recommend the calamari for starters—definitely one of the best I’ve had! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sofia provides a fun dining experience but has room for improvement. Our server was attentive and friendly, but there was a long wait for our food. When it arrived, the flavors were great, especially the cacio e pepe, but I found the portion sizes a bit small compared to the price. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable, making it a good place for a night out. " (*Curated Review*)
