great wine bar – One of my favorite restaurants in town. They are careful about everything. Lou will make you feel like a VIP, by letting you to sample his incredible wines... The food was very, very good...try the planks...you won't be disappointed... Great atmosphere, great music at the perfect volume, caring staff...I went there last month for the first time and have been back 3 times since. Absolutely rocks.

Great wine selections – Cozy and nicely decorated, this place makes you feel right at home. A friendly and informative waiter was very helpful with suggestions, recommendations, and even some "tasting". Almost too many wines to choose from, but it's just another reason to return. Highly recommended,even for novice wine lovers!! Can't wait for the alfresco seating!!!!!

Cozy, warm and inviting – Great place for after work drinks. Waiter / service was excellent. Friendly staff. Good music kept at a reasonable volume for holding a decent conversation. What can I say, just the perfect place to go after work with a few friends to chat, snack, drink and unwind.

One Step Above – Sofia?s hip-but-classic design is warm and inviting. Things I liked: exposed brick, handsome & comfortable wood carved chairs, engraved crystal wine glasses, extensive wines by the glass or bottle ? tasty and delicious plates of food - good presentation - reasonable price ? European style service ? mixed with great background music combine for one of the best nights out in a long time. I felt as though I was on a date with my husband ? the place really got us going ? I hope he takes me back soon. Loved it!

A Gem – Delicately designed in a rustic Tuscan Italian look and feel, with a very eclectic wine and beer selection and a pizza to die for. The charming owners have recipes on the menu that make you feel like you are eating a home cooked meal. The tables, lighting and bar are cozy. The music is carefully selected with some old and some new which reflects the wine bar's style. I really loved it and it's a place I would return often. It's a great date place or even a night with friends.

Loved everything about it! – I went with a group of girl friends to Sofia's after work last night, and we all loved it. First and foremost, the wine selection was great: we tried several, and all were tasty and reasonably priced (many glasses around $9-10 and many bottles from around the world between $35-$40). Second, the menu is small, but has something for everyone (soups, pasta, cheese plates, and pizzas) and since us four girls shared all three pizza options, I can honestly say that they are all phenomenal! But most imp... read more

AMAZING. – I never take the time to write reviews, but this place is an amazing find. Stumbled upon Sofia Wine Bar on its opening night last Friday and am SO glad I did! The wine list is extensive, the ambiance calming and cozy, and the staff is kind and attentive (without being in your face and annoying). I already know that I will frequently be paying a visit to Sofia, both for an after work glass of wine, as well as for full evenings out with my girlfriends. We tried a variety of wines by the glass and every one was excel... read more
