Delicious food at a reasonable price. Drinks are good too. Greeters need more common sense. They were trying to force us into a small table when we had some bags due to coming straight from the airport even though the restaurant was not even half full. Like really!

Food was delicious. However, the electricity kept going in and out? And it was super hot inside the restaurant! On top of that I got charged $16 for a bottle of water when I simply stated I wanted “still water.” Parking was also difficult and you have to valet, as the entire parking lot is blocked for valet. And that’s an extra $6. Despite the food, I likely won’t be back.

Appetizers were decent and the margherita pizza tasty as the mozzarella was just the right quantity with some great pieces of basil. Veal schnitzel was over cooked and dry. (Compared to schnitzels in Vienna). Service was average and our server turned his head away when we were leaving… better professional training required if this restaurant is to charge these high prices for average food. Will not be retuning!

Came for restaurant weeks menu and found it deceiving. It’s a two course meal with an appetizer and a fish or chicken. Pasta is extra. Most of us come for the pasta!! Service was slow at the bar and the restaurant. Had same slow service last time I visited. Ragu with lamb was excellent and shrimp appetizer was amazing.

Dining room is very, very loud. You have to shout to have a conversation. Food was good, we tried several things from HRW menu. Appetizers were good, had risotto balls, calamari and beet salad. The ricotta cheese did was okay, nothing special. Cacio e Pepe was delicious, two brunch dishes were very good. Bloody Marys and Peach Bellinis were delicious. Service was very slow, but they were very busy, even at 2:30 in the afternoon. Server was very friendly and accommodating. Food was good, but noise level was so high, not sure we would go back. Maybe if we were in the area, but wouldn't make a special trip to go there.

We celebrated my husband’s Birthday with friends in the dining room and it was perfect! Deshaun was a fantastic server and we really enjoyed our experience. The outdoor patio is also wonderful with a more intimate vibe. The best espresso martinis in Houston! The food is great, but yes a bit overpriced.

This restaurant has a very attentive staff and very ready to please. The food is delicious and of nice sized proportions. What problems they have are the very high noise level in that one can’t hear the people at your own table. There is piped in music also too loud and really unnecessary. The tables for four are too small for the space needed to dine comfortably along with using their plates, serving dishes,wine and glasses, etc. I’m hoping they will do some acoustic re-engineering and I definitely would return for another delicious meal.

Loved the ambience of the restaurant. Didn't sit outside yesterday as it was too warm, but could be a great party space. Wasn't impressed with the food though. Needs a little work. Fish was watery and chicken parm wasn't anything special. The service was attentive and accommodating.

We ate out on the patio, it was a bit warm but we weren’t uncomfortable. The ambiance is very pleasant. Our server was attentive and the drinks were delicious. Unfortunately, my husband’s swordfish was not fresh. On the fence as to whether or not to give this restaurant another try.

This is the second time I go to Trattoria Sofia. I was hesitate to come back after a very lackluster dinner but decided to give the restaurant another shot for brunch. Unfortunately, I was once again disappointed. There are many other restaurants in Houston that are 100% better. I ordered the Benedicto al purgatorio and while I was expecting creamy eggs Benedict, they were over cooked. The Bellini was good but everything is way too expensive for the quality.

They offered excellent customer service. Several staff members acknowledged us and greeted us. Our table was ready in time. Our server attended us promptly and made recommendations. The food was outstanding and made fresh. We sat in the terrace, which I thought would be hot but it's climate controlled. It was however really loud outside. I felt I had to raise my voice and carry out a conversation.
