chicken parmigiana, Ravioli Butternut squash, fettuccine
Joyce K.

The restaurant itself was beautiful and I enjoyed the ambiance despite the occasional club song ruining the vibe. There was complimentary bread for the table and we ordered calamari to share. For our entrees, we had the chicken parm, fettucine, and ravioli. The ravioli was just alright and I wouldn't order it again. We had informed the waiter at the beginning of the meal that we were here for a friend's birthday. We were told to order a dessert and it would come out with a lit candle. During our meal, the table next to us and behind us had a table and we saw the lit candles for their birthdays. However, when we ordered our dessert (parfait), it did not come with a candle. We raised this concern to our waiter and he anticlimactically stuck a candle in the dessert and lit the candle without apologizing. We were disappointed with this as we felt he should have taken the dessert back to bring it out again with the candle for effect. We brought up our concern to the manager and he was very apologetic and adequately addressed our complaint.

Sofia 36 Engle St. Englewood, NJ 07631 Chicken Palliard I was captivated by the narrow hallway with a cigar and wine storage area leading to a secluded lounge. While most places are reluctant to even serve a glass of tap water, I appreciate that they provide a full size bottle for the table. The server and bus boy were both attentive keeping my water glass filled. The complimentary bread and breadsticks with the olive oil and marinara sauce was phenomenal. Chicken Palliard: Sadly, I did not pick the best entrée. The chicken definitely needed a fair sprinkle of salt and peppers as I feel it lacked flavor. Although the onions were sautéed, they were not caramelized enough according to my standard. I was definitely impressed with the ambiance and service, so I will definitely consider returning for a future visit. I will be sure to avoid the Palliard! #sofia #sofiaenglewood #chickenpalliard

Came here on a Friday evening at 530 with reservations for s high top by the bar. There's street parking and valet. I chose to self park around the corner from the venue. We chose outer food from the happy hour menu. We got the mussels calamari, Caesar salad and truffle fries. Also ordered the Seductress cocktail, which was pretty good. Our service was really good. the manager even came over, welcomed us and cleared out our table. The mussels were okay. A tad bit bland, the Caesar salad and calamari were pretty good. However, the truffle fries were over fried and way to oily. We ventured downstairs and was given a tour of the cigar area but was not allowed to stay as we were not members. The ambiance is upscale. They had few different seating areas. The place got packed pretty quickly around 730, 800 pm.

Mozzarella Di Buffala

I almost didn't go to Sofia because of some of the reviews I read on here. However, I cannot express how glad I am that I gave this restaurant a chance! First of all, it was easy to get a reservation through their website which is always a great start to the experience. Secondly, it's a beautiful restaurant. Right away when they received us I could see its super elegant and modern decor. It's a rather large restaurant so we had to follow the hostess for a little bit to the covered patio, but the patio also did not disappoint. It's spacious and beautiful, and there was even a DJ. The waiter attended us right away and got our drinks out in less than five minutes, our appetizers in less than 10 and the entrees in less than 10 minutes after we finished the appetizers. The drinks were super well balanced, refreshing and delicious. We ordered the mozzarella and tuna tartare for our appetizers. Both were super tasty although I like the tartare better because I felt like it had more exciting flavors. For our entrees, my husband had a NY strip which came with steak sauce and coarse salt. And I had the parpadelle with ragu which was absolutely delicious. Overall, we had an amazing experience. If you're considering a fun date night in the area I highly recommend giving Sofia a shot.

chicken milanese

Went to Sofia for our one year anniversary. This place was the truth, we ordered the New York Strip, Chicken Milanese, truffle Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts. The highlight was the steak cooked medium. We unfortunately didn't get a picture. For dessert we split the tiramisu. They had a ton of options but I paired a coffee with the tiramisu and it was delicious. I loved it! This place is super cool with the cigar lounge underneath. The staff were quick and super respectful. Please check out my pictures.

Lavender corpse reviver
Maya H.

Went to Sofia over the summer for an early dinner and had such a lovely time! The front dining area is drenched in natural light and continues to bring a little bit of the outside inside with a tree at the center of the dining room. There's plenty of seating, so it's perfect for a solo date at the bar, date night, or an intimate dinner with friends. I believe there is a cigar room (not sure if that is also a dining area), but when making a reservation, I made sure to specify that I did not want to dine there. We sat in a corner booth with a full view of the dining and bar areas. Drinks: My partner ordered a No Crying In Baseball, and I started with a Lavender Corpse Reviver (the corpse reviver has become a go-to gin drink, and the lavender twist was a nice touch!) Starter: We ordered the sizzling slab bacon -- a must if you're a bacon fan. (This can also be added as a compliment to a steak if you order that for dinner) We paired it with the Italian long peppers with sausage, aged provolone, and oreganata. Personally, the latter was my favorite! Entrées I heard lots of good things about the Porterhouse for two! It's served on a piping hot plate, so it continues to sear. We ordered a pappardelle to share and a side of creamed spinach. Something I recently learned about myself is that I love combining my steak with creamed spinach. It's the perfect buttery and cheesy bite! We washed it down with a glass of Robert Mondavi. The bill was exactly what you'd expect but also way cheaper than what I paid at Hell's Kitchen in AC (which was highway robbery IMO lol). I absolutely recommend Sofia, and I can't wait to go back!

Sancho Panza cocktail
Diana A.

The food was excellent. We ordered a salad with shrimp (Insalata Sofia)a grilled Porterhouse, which was impressively large and delicious ; lemon chicken (Pollo al limone) was succulent...moscattos, drinks and desserts The dishes definitely have high-quality ingredients and flavor x me. All of our servers, starting with the first one who spoke to us, whose name is Fredie, were very kind and very professional, always attentive to us. The place is beautifully decorated. It's suitable for medium and large groups as well. They have enough staff to serve everyone If the restaurant is full. I personally like to go early and during the week because I like quieter environments to be able to chat with my friends. But last night, Thursday, a friend from Mexico came to visit me, and I made a reservation. It was quite full and the noise was medium-high. If you like that atmosphere, it's perfect. The person who got our reservation for me over the phone and who later became the hostess who greeted us at the restaurant entrance was fine. Congratulations to the manager, the waiters, the chefs, the cooks. To the entire team in general. Thank you very much, and I'll be back again. Blessings.

Buratta appetizer polpette appetizer
Natalie A.

My first visit was out of this world and my second visit solidified my opinion on my first visit even more! The food was so comforting and filling. Everything came out in a timely matter. The porterhouse was enough to split between 2 of us with 2 sides to share. For apps, each one pictured are EXCELLENT choices; the meatballs were so soft and tender and just break down in all the right ways and even better? Comes with a dollop of ricotta cheese. The buratta comes on a bed of arugula tossed in what tasted like balsamic vinegar. Lastly, the crab raviolis was such a refreshing dish and was stuffed with perfect amounts of crab. The cocktails were amazing; not overly sweet or strong but definitely sneak up on you! Service was phenomenal. I had 2 different servers for both visits but both assured everything was in place and in our favor at all times. For the ambiance, this is the place for those aesthetic pictures ladies! During the day, the natural lighting pours into the dining area. Once you head downstairs, it becomes dark and has a mysterious feel; this is where you realize you've found a hidden gem for you to find on your own I want to mention a huge shout out to the owner who is such a humble person and conversed about many things during our visit; Phenomenal place with great people and very tasty food!

Sofia is an amazing restaurant, full of elegance and good food. It is located close to the busy Bergen Performing Arts Center, has valet parking, a covered/heated outdoor dining area, and even a downstairs cigar lounge. The restaurant is ALWAYS busy. So, upon arriving and instead of waiting for our table to become available, we decided to sit at one of their high top tables, adjacent to the bar. Great decision and recommended. Our Server, Suzy, was outstanding, professional, courteous, helpful, and her attention to detail was appreciated. We ordered the following entrees: Ravioli Di Zucca (butternut squash filling, butter and sage sauce, parmigiano reggiano, and crushed amaretto cookies). This is, arguably, the best Ravioli dish I have ever had. The savoriness of every bite....combined with the crunch of the cookies...made this a memorable selection. The other item was the Polipo e Panzanella (grilled octopus, heirloom cherry tomatoes, roasted bell peppers). Once again, a hit with the firmness of the octopus, serving it cut into bite sized pieces, and how the vegetables complemented the dish, placed it into the delectable category. Please, make it a priority to visit Sofia. You will enjoy an elegant meal, great service, and am certain that you'll be a happy return customer.

As a relative newbie to the area, I always keep my ear to the ground for local restaurant recommendations. When Sofia came up near the top of most people's lists, my husband and I decided it was high time to see for ourselves. The hype is absolutely real. We knew when we ordered the Sofia salad that it came with crab meat, but we weren't expecting the shower of lumpy crab meat (in fact, we thought it was cheese at first glance). It was a fresh and delicious precursor to our NY strip steak, which announced its arrival by smoke, sizzle, and aroma before it even got to our table. I loved the way they sit the steak slightly at an angle at the table so that all the buttery meat juices can pool at the bottom. Our server dipped our first pieces in that lovely bath before putting it on our plates, which was such a lovely touch. I'm not a real stickler for service; so long as food comes on a timely basis with general friendliness. But I can tell the service at Sofia is on another plane. There seem to be two layers of servers dedicated to tables here, distinguishable by either their all-black garb or their white coats. Our two servers were quick to attend to any needs, so much that it felt like our water glasses were topped off every time we took a sip. As first timers, we had some questions about menu items, and each inquiry was met with detailed answers and recommendations that were absolutely spot on. While the restaurant looks small on the outside, the space is cavernous on the inside. There are two floors, with the bar and main dining space on the topside and a cigar lounge on the bottom floor. For those preferring an al fresco experience on fair weather days, there are also a good number of small tables on the sidewalk outside. We loved the booth we were assigned, as it sat below a lush, greenery-lined skylight and created a gorgeous ambiance. I even spotted a large back space that looked appropriate for private events. I'm grateful to all those who pointed us toward Sofia and I'm adding my voice to the fanbase - this is a fantastic spot for special dinners, steak lovers, and anyone who's seeking a meal with sparkly service.

Sofia is always our go to for the best steak in Northern NJ. This review however is for their gluten free options. I am recently diagnosed with celiac and I was at first hesitant to try gluten free pasta. To my surprise it was so delicious, smooth, soft and silky. I did not expect that! We also tried their flourless chocolate mousse and it was delicious. Sofia. Never disappoints.

Salmon with roasted vegetables

We did the Theater Pre-Fixe prior to a show at Bergen PAC. The server was attentive and efficient, to make sure we met our timeliness. The food was delicious. The menu is limited and has plenty of variety to choose from. You get an appetizer, an entre and dessert (Gelato or Cannoli). The restaurant is elegant and a nice way way to start the evening if you are going to a show - or date night!

Is the bar good to visit after dinner for drinks only?

Yes, heading to Sofia for drinks is a great idea! Just keep in mind that the bar area can get quite busy, so it's a good idea to be prepared for that possibility.

Do they offer truffle for everything, or is it a part of their specials? Either way, how much do they charge for it?

How much is the prefix brunch and what does it include?

Anything special for birthdays?

What're you, 5 years old?

Is there somewhere I can view GF accommodations or see what on the menu is GF? Gf= gluten free.…

They do offer GF options but you would have to go there to see them. The online menu does not specify. The food they offer is very good and upscale so I'm sure you'll be very pleased with what they offer as long as you're willing to pay the price.

Do I need a reservation for Saturday brunch?

it is Recommended!

Is there music at night on the weekends?

Yes we have Dj playing Wednesday to Saturday night

Which weekend night is better for drinks? Friday or Saturday?

I'm sorry, I've only been to that place once

Do you have brunch menu on weekdays?

No we don't, only Saturday and Sunday

We had ordered Guacamole which tasted kind of bland and was just average. Drinks were pretty good though. My main issue was how they have setup their Hookah.

I have been to so many Hookah Lounges and this was the 1st we were ever charged for getting the coals changed. That is just atrocious.

One pet peeve for me was that most of the Menu options, both food and drinks were more American than Greek and I wish they had more Mediterranean options that matched the Theme. Staff were friendly and the service was quick but there were few mix ups with our drink order despite the fact that it was an early dinner so service might be slow during dinner rush.

Established in 1969 on the site of the former Bicycle Club, Giovanni's Bicycle Club features irresistible flavors of Italian cuisine from family recipes using the finest ingredients.

Upon entering this two-story building, my partner and I were greeted by the host, and a few patrons were enjoying their meal on two enclosed outside patio decks with fans in the summer, so we joined them. The windows could be raised for that inclement weather, and heaters turned on when needed. They do have a main dining room, with the front bar much fancier. A few small bicycle artifacts make the place memorable and unique. We decided on the Philly Cheesesteak and Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad. Complimentary bread with dipping oil started our meal.

We went on a Wednesday night around 7PM and while there were a good amount of people dining we were able to get a table right away. We ordered the burrata to start and it was delicious.

We got the skirt steak, octopus, Pizza al Tartufo, and Diavolina pizza. Everything was fantastic. The skirt steak was cooked medium rare as ordered and it was served with some greens. It wasn't mind-blowing, just a good skirt steak. I would probably skip this on a return visit so that I could eat more pizza. The octopus was cooked perfectly as well. It wasn't tough and chewy and it had a nice char to it. It was a pretty large tentacle served with an arugula salad. The salad had a citrusy dressing on it which was refreshing. I really enjoyed the pizzas. We went with a white and a red pizza. THe white pizza was topped with fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and black truffle oil. Everything went well together and the truffle flavor wasn't overpowering as it sometimes can be. The red pizza had hot sopressata, fresh mozzarella, and grana padano. The sopressata was actually a little spicy which was different from the white pizza. Both pizzas had a great crust with just the right amount of char.

The menu is diner-deep, but nearly every dish is accompanied with a photo. As newcomers, we found this especially helpful. The fried calamari are fantastic. Hot, freshly fried, and perfectly tender. My husband, who is particular about those tentacle pieces, was delighted to see half our plate covered with them. Since we were at a Columbian restaurant, we wanted to try something authentic but felt too shy to ask around, so we went with something from the specials section called 'chicken with Columbian mushroom sauce'. Wowza was that good. I have no idea how true to the culture it was, but that cream sauce was something else. We dragged everything we could through the last droplets, unwilling to see it wasted. The specials also come with rice, choice of salad or soup, choice of beans, and fried plantains. It's a generous serving size, so much that one shared entree, plus an appetizer and salad, was more than enough food for us. All servers are equipped with ear pieces to directly communicate with staff and the kitchen. It seemed a little overkill at first...until we found out how efficiently the service was as a result. While ordering an entree, for instance, our server was able to quickly chat with the back staff to check if there was any soup left. When we were done with our meal, a busser was able to quickly flag down our server for the check. And when there was a massive crash and spill at a nearby table because some kid chucked his water glass, three people descended upon the mess in - no joke - under ten seconds because of this radio. It's a frighteningly efficient system, and it meant we hardly ever needed to wait for anything. While we didn't get to try anything from the drink or desserts menu this visit, know that the selection is tantalizing. We vowed to return for the margarita flights and the pastries on display at the in-house bakery.
