Love this place! We had such a good time here. The ambiance is nice and relaxing, dim but not too dark. We ordered the linguini with mushrooms and chicken, and the special lemon sole. Both were excellent. We also tried the mozzarella sticks and closed out the meal with a very rustic and homemade carrot cake. Everything was delicious. Great service too. Highly recommended! read more

Such a gem...food and service top notch! The family, who owns and runs Sonia's, is amazing, they are all so incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. Such a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Will always come back!! read more

Gnocchi w/sausage was fantastic as was the side salad and fresh bread. Service was fast and friendly and prices were decent. It doesn't look like much from the outside. It's in a strip mall and looks like it's just a regular old pizza place but it's got a very diverse formal Italian Restaurant menu. Highly recommend! read more

Would give it 4-1/2 stars if possible. Couple of minor things kept it from a "Great" rating. Stopped by with family to use a X-Mas gift card. FOOD: Ordered the Arancini Balls as an app. which were tasty with a great red sauce, but seemed extremely light on the rice part? The Salad Pizza and Gnocchi Sorrentina were great, I ordered the Homemade Ravioli in chicken broth, again...very good but I feel as if the broth should be thickened slightly so the Ravioli do not seem as though they are swimming in a pool of broth, thickening it would allow the broth and Ravioli to "stick" better getting the flavor of both in one bite. SERVICE: Very good AMBIANCE: Low light, not too much decor, comfortable booth seating along the walls, small outdoor dining as well. Would highly recommend a visit! read more

the atmosphere is very cozy and warm. The service is top-notch. The food was very good without being exceptional. However, what was exceptional was my delicious cocktail - on the high side at $20/drink. I would defintiely go back to try another dish, but I think I'll have my cocktails at home. read more

Went to sonia's with my 98 year old mother. The staff were very friendly and attentive , the owner? Gentleman was very helpful from seating us to getting the door as we were leaving. The food was delicious and very well prepared and plated. The atmosphere was warm and pleasant. Overall the evening was very enjoyable for us both . Thanks so much read more

Another home run at Sonia's! I had the home made risotto with scallops and shrimp. When I say home made, it is made right there in the kitchen by Grandma, while you wait, chatting with the friendly staff. This family run restaurant continues to amaze. From the fresh home made oven baked bread with delicious olive oil brought to you, to the desert, everything is perfect. The tiramisu is by far the best I have ever had. That too, home made by Nonna. The wine selection is one of the hidden treasures of Sonia's. Not only is is an extensive list, but Marvin knows his wines and his recommendations never fail. If you haven't yet tried Sonia's, you're missing out on something wonderful. read more

Had an absolutely fantastic dinner at this hidden spot in a strip mall in Fairfield. If you weren't looking carefully you might miss it! I went there for a friend's birthday celebration. They handled our large group seamlessly and with friendliness. Despite the front looking like a pizza place, the restaurant aspect is beautiful and intimate. The food was absolutely delicious. I wanted everything on the menu but I settled for the in house made gnocchi, which was amazing. We also tried the garlic toast and the mozzarella sticks which were some of the best I have ever had. My dad had the Bolognese which he was raving about all the way home. I rarely clean my plate at an Italian restaurant, but I did here! I can't wait to return! read more

The family has put years of culinary experience and love into this menu. It was hard to decide what I wanted to try first. I'll definitely head back to see them before my trip is finished. A must visit read more

Wow! First time here but definitely won't be the last!! The burrata was awesome, the branzino was cooked to perfection and the scallops & shrimp over risotto was to die for!! Never had, or even heard of, a gooseberry before but they were on the plate with the burrata so I gave it a whirl. Delicious! Great meal - will DEFINITELY go back! read more

Stopped in to dine at this place and was really impressed with the decor. I had visited this place when it was a different restaurant and you can tell they made some serious renovations. For starters we had the charcuterie board which was really good. It came with various pieces of Italian meats along with 3 types of cheeses, olives and some fog spread. For my meal I had the NY Strip with mixed veggies and my girlfriend had the duck wings. The meal was okay but not out of this world. The steak temperature was a little off but not too bad. The duck wings were more to my girlfriend's liking. She enjoyed eating them. For dessert we had the tiramisu and it was ok. read more

We are frequent flyers here. We love their burrata, chicken parm and the espresso martinis are amazing

Every time I come, the food is always amazing and tonight we had a party of nine and Service was first class and food was excellent. We tried a bunch of new things on their menu and was blown away a must try for anybody who hasn't been here. read more

We are always greeted with a smile when we enter as if we are old friends. A local spot that has a nice variety of regular items and specials. If this restaurant was 3 blocks closer to downtown, it would be packed. It is a relaxed where you can hear each other talk but not so quiet you feel like you have to whisper. We will definitely go back! read more

Wonderful. My sisters and I went there for Black Friday lunch and it was delicious. We had the garlic knots, and the burrata with prosciutto for an appetizer. Then I had the risotto, scallops, and shrimp. One of the best meals that I have had in a long time. I would highly recommend this place. read more

BEST chocolate lava cake ever! I would go back only for this. And the lovely ambiance and the super sweet wait staff. The food? Chicken parmesan was very, very good! Unfortunately that wasn't my entree, but I kept stealing bites. 4+ stars for that. Chicken Masala -- 2 stars - Chicken was not tender enough and the sauce not rich or flavorful enough and a bit too oily with only a couple mushrooms. The side spaghetti was...different.. it had a strange texture. The Rigatoni Bolognese -- 2 stars - wayy too much salt in the sauce. Didn't care for the overall flavor.. Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente though. Keep in mind I am too particular when it comes to Italian food. Tiramisu? Too cake-y. Definitely skip and go for that lava cake! read more

Food is amazing!! Friendly staff, ambiance is beautiful low lights with twinkling lights.

Finally made our way to SGK. Really cool atmosphere inside. Extremely friendly staff, made my daughter and I feel welcomed as soon as we walked in. A really solid selection of wines is available, as well as cocktails and beer. I had the most delicious gazpacho from the specials menu, so good! My daughter had fish and chips, which were also on the specials menu that day. And I had home made Linguini, with Chicken, Fresh Mozzarella, Asparagus, Roasted Red Peppers Finished with Beurre Blanc Sauce. So good! Can't wait to go back again! read more

Second time here, this place is a hidden gem! Family owned atmosphere with fine dining quality! Will be back!

Had a late dinner for the first time at the restaurant. The staff was excellent. Very friendly and informative. The food exceed expectations. We had a gnocchi dish and it was light and fluffy like pillows. The eggplant parm was thin and was well seasoned . The chicken parm was also great. Highly recommend read more

We enjoyed everything including service,wine list and the food! Truly a hidden gem don't let the strip mall facade scare you off it quite charming inside. read more

I loved the calm and quiet atmosphere. The waitress was very kind and did not overburden us with frequent stops at our table. The food was very good and you could taste how fresh it is. read more

Great thin (per request) pizza! Consistently good and tasty. Their online ordering option to modify your pizza to your taste is pretty cool. Wait time for the pickup is always reasonable and we never have to wait longer than indicated at the time the order is placed. They are very polite and accommodating. This is our go to place for pizza read more

We happened into Sonia's a few weeks ago for our usual Tuesday evening downtown adventure with our neighbors. SGK is in the location of a favorite restaurant when I was growing up, DePonte's Italian Restaurant & Pizza. We would go there and play pinball while eating slices. If we got a high score Tony DePonte would write our name and score on a paper plate and stick it to the machine for ALL to see! Occasionally he would ask one or 2 of us to bus tables and pay us in quarters and slices...Magical!... I digress... Anyway, we went in 4 adults and 3 hungry children. We were greeted and seated across from where the pinball machines used to be (OK, I'll stop). The decor is updated and very comfortable. One of the owners, Marvin has been there every time and is welcoming and attentive. We were seated and provided with menus, specials, and an extensive wine list. Having a couple of hangry kids, the waitress immediately placed an order to tide them over and came back for our drink order while placing some very good bread and EVOO on the table. We were also asked whether we wanted sparkling or tap water (Tap please). We received our cocktails and a bottle of wine which was opened and offered for tasting. Our app and entree order were taken and the lid's app came right out. Between us, it seems that we ordered one of everything! The meal was awesome. The service was great and I declared it my new favorite Italian restaurant in town... Even without pinball! Since then we have eaten there on four occasions without disappointment. We have had: Wings nicely fried 8/$11 Crispy Calamari: Was very crispy and delicious $12 A side of meatballs: I cannot emphasize enough the need to get this dish! 2 large beautiful meatballs in an amazing sauce that has been cooking for hours. The meatballs were tender and flavorful... One of my favorites! $6 Pizza: Thin perfectly done crust with a great sauce, and perfectly done $16/Lg They have a large selection of specialty pies we haven't tried yet. There are also dessert pizzas... We will talk about that later :) Sea Scallops and shrimp with veggie risotto: Again perfectly done and the risotto was awesome! $25 Spaghetti & meatballs: See the meatballs above and imagine with delicious spaghetti! The "Brave One" Panini: Steak & Crispy Chicken, Hot Cherry Peppers, Fresh Jalapeno Peppers, Red Pepper Flakes, Tomatoes, Lettuce & Chipotle Aioli $15 Chicken Cutlet Sandwich: Pretty standard $10 Salmon with sauteed broccoli & REAL mashed potatoes $20 Kale and quinoa salad $12 SGK Salad: This is a big, delicious salad $11 Mac & Cheese: The kids raved over it $9.95 Hand-cut fries! Cheese Cake: I like it plain and it was very good $8 Most recently, SGK had a 1/2 roasted chicken. Made to order, we were told it would take ~35 minutes to prepare... It was well worth the wait! It came out golden brown with an incredible cherry pepper (Scarpiello) sauce that had nice heat and amazing flavor. It comes with real mashed potatoes that are notable in their own right. This dish is worth a trip and the wait!!! And finally, THE M&M Cookie Dessert Pizza: One of four dessert pizzas, it's like they got a hold of and read my diary! Warm, sweet, melty goodness $14... If only the children hadn't seen it :( There is also Chocolate Chip & Peanut Butter Pizza $14, S'Mores Pizza $15, and Sweet Tooth Jackie's Pizza $18... You'll have to go to SGK to find out what's on it :) Obviously, we are BIG fans! We have never been disappointed with the meal, wine, service or price. We highly recommend if you are in the area or looking for a new place on the Post Road in Fairfield that you pull into this strip of stores (SGK is right next to Bob's Store) and enjoy a great meal or take-out. read more

The home made pasta with mushrooms is unbelievably good!! I came here for the first time today for my birthday and it did not disappoint. We all loved it. The staff are also super nice. read more

Excellent. Highly recommended. A somewhat hidden location. Dined past closing enjoying meal very accommodating. No rush.

What a Fantastic find!! Service, Food, Atmosphere all 5 stars. First impression was the bread. The bread is slightly toasted and has a smoky flavor to it. My guess is from a brick oven. They severe the bread with this little bottle which holds both Blasamic vinegar and Olive oil to pour onto the bread. I knew right away from this alone that this was gonna be a great experience. Appetizer of choice was the Brussels sprouts. The best I've ever had. I had the home made fettuccine with mushrooms. Simply delicious. Couple with us had this egg drop soup which was on special menu which they said was fantastic. Eggplant the best. One word of caution is don't get the carrot cake. It's not your traditional carrot cake. It was hot weird concoction not resembling carrot cake at all. Waitress however replaced for me with Cheesecake which was very good. Coffee was good too and I'm a coffee snob. I could go on n on. This is now my goto place for Italian food. I'm a Foodie. I worked in a restaurant for 10 years and extremely picky. Trust me this you want to check out. It's in a strip mall next to Bob's in Fairfield off exit 22. One other big bonus for us is that it's not noisy like some places. You can actually have a conversation without having to raise your voice. Burp! ;-) Chow! read more

This place has some amazing things going for it and some reasons that I'm disappointed. If you order a dish with red sauce, don't. They literally ladle it over strained spaghetti... it would make Scott Conant freak. It made me freak at least... I'm a home cook and it wouldn't occur to me to do that. The sauce and pasta should be cooked together. Other dishes are very, very good. Like their specials and, for me personally, I love their chicken pesto penne. It even delivers well. But here's the thing - the portion is very small. That can be said for all of their dishes - at least the ones my wife, son, and I have ordered over the last two years or so. Bluntly, they are stingy. Really, from a food cost standpoint, why not add some additional pasta? The pizza is just ok. Obviously many options in Fairfield for that. This isn't a go-to for pizza place. If you do, ask for extra sauce. It's a bit "sitting around" without ordering that. I'm not saying it IS sitting around - I think this is a place that mostly tries to execute the menu fresh - but the pizza has that "been sitting around on the counter" quality to it. The environment is nice. The people (family) that work there are nice. They will listen to your pov politely, but they don't "hear" -- won't do a thing about it. Overall it's a "yes" for me. Don't get any red sauce dish, and expect small portions, and don't rely on the pizza being GREAT other than maybe a cheese for the kids. But all of that aside, everything else it delicious and so it's still recommended by me. Crazy review, eh? Well it is what it is. read more

Great comfort Italian food in Fairfield. I had a good homemade fettuccini with mushrooms and chicken in brown sauce. Definitely will come back to try some of the other homemade pastas. Wife had a very good eggplant parmigiana although spaghetti could have been a little better. Surprise of the meal however was the meatball parm...one of the best ones I've had in recent memory. Son had a a pretty standard chicken tender meal and the fries were apparently delicious. The chocolate lava dessert was very good. Service was very attentive and friendly; handled a glitch in the order with class. Nice wine and beer selection. Clean and comfy interior. Try this place out if you are in the area...we will be back soon. read more

Found our way here by accident. What a find! Beautiful atmosphere. I had the scallops with vegetable risotto, which featured large scallops and jumbo shrimp. Very fresh ingredients. My wife had the special fettuccine of the day, very tasty. Service was attentive but not suffocating. The waiters were so sweet and kind :)! read more

Sonia's Gourmet Kitchen is an amazing hidden gem! It's a family-run establishment with an inviting warm ambiance and great homemade food. My family of 5 people, all different types of eaters, thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We started with the vegetarian pizza and Brussels sprouts salad. I wasn't a big fan of the pizza crust, but the perfectly-done pizza toppings more than made up for that! The Brussels sprouts salad was very tasty - I always love this dish because the risotto cake and salad compliment each other very well. It's a good item to share since it's rich. For my entree, I ordered Jasmine's quinoa salad with salmon. It was a nice portion and was very fresh and flavorful! The addition of blueberries is unique. My only gripe is that I thought there should have been more salad dressing, as it was slightly dry and I couldn't taste the passionfruit dressing. I also tried some of my sister's penne vodka, which was also great! read more

Really good food, helpful & friendly people, nice outdoor seating & beautiful inside decor!

Great food, awesome service and down to earth people. A great family business with a comfortable ambiance. A most go to restaurant!

Late dinner treat. Really friendly greeting by owners and staff. Very attentive. Beautiful décor. It's in an unassuming location and looks really small from outside, but it goes pretty deep so they have a lot of tables (and some outdoor dining also). No apps tonight. I had the special homemade gnocchi with sausage and it was outstanding! Just the right amount of spice to make it interesting and not overwhelming. Well done, Sonia! read more

Great service, food and price. An awesome find. It was funny they only brought 2 small pieces of bread but brought more on request, which is fine. Who really needs more carbs LoL read more
