Soni's, I discovered on my first visit there with the Wife for lunch, is pretty much always busy for a very good reason. The food is made, just, exactly, right. I got veal piccata over angel hair. It was great. (no bread brought to table, which wasn't the kitchen's fault) The caper sauce was very good. I like veal piccata every now and then when I go out for Italian. It's really more of a fusion dish from the 1300's, when Italy (which didn't exist yet) was on all trade routes. Veal piccata pre-dates the intro of tomatoes to Europe by a few hundred years, it's really a culinary window back in time, Italian food-wise. Anyways, loved the veal piccata. Linda got a burger with fries. In the future, I'm thinking I'm getting anything at Soni's that comes with French fries. Soni's fries were so much better than any fries I have ever gotten, anywhere, that other than just saying, "the fries were the crunchiest, crispiest, internal texture bestest, that I have eaten in my life French fries!", anything more is futile. I CANNOT tell you how great these fries were. IANK! (I am not kidding) Overall, I will be back at Soni's sooner rather than later. I want to try the artichoke dip for one thing. And the interior of Soni's is beautiful. They don't rush you. The waitress really was great, just overall, a place to "...sit back and enjoy a long, slow, Italian lunch." As my friend Vince Dinsio used to say. I know Mr. V would have loved Soni's too. Linda, the wife loves Soni's. I can't imagine NOT loving Soni's. read more

Beautiful little restaurant. The hostess and wait staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the Italian egg rolls and the rice pie, when it's available. It's so good it should be available every single day! read more

Great local spot in new castle! Clearly a local favorite since we went at 5pm and the lot was full! It's my grandma's favorite so that's why we ended up here. Friendly servers and hosts; very efficient for having so many tables. Service was quick. Ordered a "deluxe" small pizza (10") on which you choose 4 toppings - only $10!! I got banana peppers, pepperoni, mushrooms and eggplant. Very good and the perfect size for one serving. Others in my party ordered the sausage calzone and the ravioli and meatballs. Great bread for the table that came with amazing garlic butter. Our dinner entrees were under $13, which is not what I'm used to living in Pittsburgh. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area! read more

Not Wheelchair welcome!!! I will never go back and I never made it inside. There's a first. I'm sure the food is great I wouldn't know. Unfortunately I couldn't get a wheelchair from the parking lot in the door. Somebody was parked in between the 2 handicap spot blocking the only accessible ramp. Which wasn't the fault of the restaraunt but asking them to have someone move was like how dare I. The front door was completely blocked by a planter and benches that didn't allow a wheelchair access. Their solution to go around the corner and use the delivery door. No thanks, when places work so hard to make you feel this unwanted the solution is simple. Go somewhere else. If you are in or helping someone with a motorized wheelchair like I have DO NOT go there, they do not want you. What a cruel and evil set of people. I'd be ashamed if I was the owner! read more

The service here was great with wonderful atmosphere that bravely (and thankfully) plays Christen music. We had the cheesy bread sticks as our app and it was tasty. I had the Tuscan Flatbread which was good. The flatbreads are all great. Wife had the Italian trio because she loves the cavatelli and Alfredo sauce. I love this place and these people but the "chicken Parmesan" is an embarrassment to all things Italian. Two chicken tenders from Sam's club, or equivalent, with a slice of packaged precut cheese. Everything else here is amazing. We will keep coming back. read more

Sonis was great. Had the veal parm and penne...very good. Service was quick/courteous. One heads up (surprised this was not on website or any of the reviews) : no alcohol. So if you would like a glass of wine or beer with dinner...go elsewhere. other than that, food and service were fine. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere...they put love and care into every pizza, Stromboli, salad, flatbread, bowl of soup soup, and dinner

Another great choice to eat if you're near the New Wilmington/Mercer area of PA. The service was great; the ambience peaceful and quiet; and the food was delicious. My husband had the traditional spaghetti and meatballs and I had the Chicken Asiago. Both were great! read more

The food was fantastic as usual. We arrived on a Saturday close to opening but the hostess was not around, so a waitress seated us ( a party of three) and the couple ahead of us. Once seated, it was a wonderful experience. The ambiance was relaxed and the music was a perfect volume and style. We are return customers. read more

Its ok, service was good. Food is just ok, besides their flat bread sandwiches. Those are very good.

My family normally order two salads in bread bowls steak or chicken both are great! And we get a Italian flatbread half too. Its always consistent. GREAT FOOD! Owners are kind people. read more

We stopped there when we were in the area for work. Our waitress was very attentive, able to offer recommendations, and was friendly. My friend- loved her soup and had the beef hoagie- which she thought was good. It was big enough she had enough to take 1/2 home for dinner. I had a meatball sandwich. It was not grams meatballs but it was good. We both got dessert- she said her pie was good and my cake was good. Overall a pleasant surprise and good experience read more

Soni's is a local favorite. Great variety of food that all tastes fantastic. So glad this place is still around.

Great people and service. Food always tastes good. Anything I have ever eaten is excellent. Great atmosphere also. One suggestion is the Italian flatbread. My wife loves the steak salads. read more

I have had several entrees and pizza there and they are incredibly delicious! Their service is excellent and ambiance is also! This is now my favorite place and none like where we lived in Texas prior to here! read more

Best marinara sauce, hands-down, and her meatballs are fantastic so nice and light. Not like a brick sitting in your stomach. Absolutely delicious and the Italian eggrolls were so good and different. I definitely definitely recommend this place. read more

Great food and good service! There is a very nice cook that came out and talked to us and bought our boys candy bars, super sweet!

Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time ordering the $27 Italian flatbread. We order this often and it is always loaded with meat and cheese. Today, it barely had anything in it. No cheese and most pieces didn't even have salami or ham. I called restaurant because I knew it was not normal for them. They offered me a 10% discount on my next order. No thank you, I will take my business elsewhere. read more

Food is always good. Last time we ate there, we asked for bread with our steak salads. We were told that it did not come with bread, but for &2.50 you could get 4 pieces of bread. What kind of service is that!! read more

Love this place!!! The manager is very responsive and willing to accommodate the diners.

Wonderful Italian atmosphere, friendly and helpful wait staff. Food is always wonderful. Love this family run business

Soni's was fantastic! I had ziti with meatballs, chicken parm, salad, green beans, potatoes, rolls, wine, and chocolate covered strawberry cheesecake with coffee. All of the food was amazing! The wine was local, delicious and went perfect with dinner. The coffee was fresh and paired perfectly with dessert. The atmosphere was great, the whole family (about 20 of us) were taken care of promptly and politely. The service was first class (I won't take away any points for the server who laughed at my request to write her number on my to go box). There isn't a single negative thing I have to say about the place. It was clean, delicious, and properly st read more

beware!!!! terrible food!!! it is a shame that the eggplant rollatini had zero ricotta cheese... it literally a pie e if eggplant dipped in flour and rolled up. also.. the meatballs should be called bread balls. you arent fooling anyone.. there was no meat in the meatballs .. all bread. such a shame .. $70 and no1 ate their food. tiramisu was served warm and haad no tast as well as the cheesecake.save your time and your money. my food came out cold twice so by the time i did get my dood everyone else was done eating.. stay away! keep on driving. so many other choices in new castle. read more

Every time we go here the food is usually amazing. The pizza and pasta is really good. Desserts are fantastic!! Service is great and friendly. Definitely recommend. read more

Soni is hit and miss. great flat bread. great sandwiches. Eggplant parmasean was terrible. the eggplant was shaved so thin you could not cut it. Never saw it shaved on pasta. cant compare to the eggplant parmesan at La Rocca in Poland. they have the best in the world . thick cut juicy eggplant parmesan on bed of homemade pasta. read more

Fantastic beautiful restaurant and wonderful food. Our server was so sweet. We got the Italian flatbread and it was SO HUGE!!! Never dreamed it was that big but so delicious! We will be back!!! read more

Excellent food and service! Everyone in our group was happy and that's hard to do with this group. We will be back!

First the good, the sambucca pasta is to die for, it's a high recommend whenever I bring someone to Soni's. Then there's the pizza, which is quite delicious compared to other places in town that seem to rest on their pizza-centered names rather than actually improve their mediocre recipes and products. Their pierogi pizza especially is the absolute best you can find. Now the bad, NO alcohol, not even wines! It absolutely blows my mind that an Italian restaurant can forego a liquor license. You're just leaving money at the table at that point, a good wine and a fine pasta go hand in hand and BYOB is just not going to cut it. So if you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or have a romantic evening with your loved one, unless you would like to spend your dinner stone cold sober Soni's is probably not the place for you! read more

The food at Soni's has never failed! I have tried their Italian egg rolls, chicken salad w/homemade house dressing, and an Italian dish with an Alfredo sauce with chicken, greens, and roasted red tomatoes. All of these items are fantastic! Oh yes, and their Buffalo Chicken pizza is outstanding as well! Not only is their food menu expansive, but their dessert menu is as well. The best dessert is the Ho-Ho cake. The only reason I didn't rate 5 stars is since there isn't a bar. I know it's BYOB but I love to try new drinks! read more

A pleasant surprise with a nice atmosphere, friendly. attentive and competent staff. I was there after lunch but before dinner time and there were other patrons enjoying meals. The food was fresh, brought to the table without that "under the lights" waiting in the kitchen you get in other places. It was plated nicely, and tasty. Moderately priced, it's a great place to catch up with friends or just take the time to enjoy with your significant other. read more

If you haven't been to their new location you should! Definitely an upgrade! I had an amazing meal there recently with our family...garlic shrimp dish...I highly suggest it!! They are BYOB so bring your wine with you when you go! We will definitely be back! Our server Nicole was a sweetheart and on top of everything!! read more

Soni's - Lamb diner. - Italian Near Me - New Castle, Pennsylvania

Not many restaurants open past 9pm in this town, we found Soni's and the family was happy. Overall the food was very good, sauce was excellent, my boys ate their entire meal. Staff was friendly even though we were probably the last table of her night. If we lived in this area, we would go back regularly. read more

I ordered a salad and sandwich...half way through the salad I found a long strand of hair, I put it on a separate plate and showed the waitress. Situation was handled very poorly. No manager came out to apologize...the cost of the salad was removed from our bill. Very little concern. read more

Love the sampler platter like the Italian trio. Wish they had more options like this!

This is a terrific place to go for Italian food. My wife had a delicious pizza; I know because I tried a half slice. I had a bowl of sausage asiago (it was on special, usually chicken asiago). It was simply delicious, loaded with sausage, tomatoes, spinach, 'shrooms, over fettuccine (my choice) with a creamy asiago sauce. I will get this again. We're now waiting desert. There's pumpkin () cheesecake for my wife, and tiramisu for me. Super. read more

Terrible Customer Service!!! I ordered a $55 party tray for Xmas eve from these folks. Tray was to contain 3 kinds of rolls (pepperoni, pizza greens and sausage rolls) and flatbread. Got home and served it to 10 guests on Xmas even and as soon as some the rolls where taken off the tray, I noticed there was no pepperoni rolls. When I called on Dec. 27th to complain about the omission, the owner of the store basically called me a liar saying that she made all the trays herself and that there was absolutely no way that any tray would have left the restaurant without pepperoni rolls. I, of course, know for certain that at least one did because it was on my countertop on Christmas Eve. I even sent her a photo of a tray that clearly had no pepperoni rolls on it. And she actually said that the pepperoni rolls would have been under the flatbread that was shown in the photo. As if I wouldn't have recognized a pepperoni roll---had it been on my tray! Are you kidding me??? I drive 15 miles to this place for these trays every year. I also have ordered countless eggplant pizzas from them at $17 each, when there are plenty of pizza places within a couple of miles. When I pointed this out the owner, her comment was, "there are plenty of pizza places everywhere." I am shocked that a business OWNER handled this issue so poorly. Instead of considering even the remote possibility that she was capable of making a mistake (like every other human being on the planet), she chose, instead, to basically accuse a good customer (or ex-customer now) of being a liar. For what purpose? Who would call a restaurant and just make up a complaint? read more

Great place! 10/10 recommend. Good service, great food and it's always consistently good after dozens of visits to this location. The staff is super friendly and we have never had a bad meal. No matter how many customers, we always only wait about 15 minutes for the food and it comes out hot! read more

Fair for this part of PA, sub-par for any other city. +1 for seating us in the back party room 15 minutes before our reservation. -1 for the back room thermostat being set to 64 for the first 45 minutes. +0 for decent bread. -1 for bad house dressing. watery and too much vinegar. +1 for friendly wait staff. -1 for bad marinara sauce. Tasted like thick tomato paste. +0 for decent chicken florentine. Needed lots of salt. I can't say I recommend this place. There are better spots for Italian in the area. read more
