I stopped by on Sunday afternoon because I was itching for a real good chicken Parmesan. I wanted a cup of coffee while I waited, and the kind waitress apologized stating to be a few minutes as she wanted to make a new pot of coffee to provide me a fresh cup. No need to apologize as it's always worth waiting a few minutes for a fresh cup. When she bought out the coffee, the milk was a little bit curdled and I mentioned could she please bring me a fresh cup with new milk? She apologized several times and in the end wound up camping the cup of coffee and my Arnold Palmer drink and discounted the chicken Parmesan. This is the right way to run a restaurant. I will definitely be back. As far as the chicken Parmesan, it was absolutely delicious. What I like about it is the entire chicken is covered in mozzarella. Really enjoyed it. read more

I visited this Fairfield establishment for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful and breezy day, so I chose to eat outside. I was in the mood for a quality pasta dish, although I would love to try their pizza. The outdoor dining area is quite large, and the inside is spacious and well docorated.. The tables were tastefully set. The entire restaurant was clean, including the restroom. I started off with a Moretti beer. I wanted to try the Bolognese egg rolls with vodka sauce. Lots of reviews about them. There were 4 eggrolls so this is a great app to share. They were very good, crunchy exterior and ample Bolognese and cheese. The vodka dipping sauce had a nice little kick to it. Brillliant idea. I then had the Fettuccine Alpha Romeo, with cream, egg yolk, pecorino, and panchetta; a cross between Carbonara and Alfredo, which is usually not my go to dish, but it sounded delectable. The portion was generous and the dish was rich and the pasta was al dente. I thought it could only have been improved upon by having the panchetta a tad crispy , but on second thought the way is is prepared is the way to go. Layers of flavor in this dish. Service was excellent, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. I loved the option to sit outside. I very much enjoyed my experience and recommend and plan to return to try the pizza and more! The waiter told me they have a prix fixe menu for $16 lunches during the week! read more

Stopped in for lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon. The $15 lunch special was a ridiculously good value: in house made bread with ricotta herb, pizza sauce, and olive oil, a potato/leek muscles in butter AND a chicken cutlet Caesar salad sandwich. All tasty! My wife and daughter shared the pesto pizza. A mostly friendly staff but maybe they were just very busy. Definitely a good choice in downtown Fairfield. read more

Nicole was such a great server. Very friendly & attentive. Took my sister for a Birthday lunch. Had the Bread Service, delish and shouldn't be missed. My sister had the Pomodoro to which she added grilled large & succulent shrimp. I had the eggplant parmigiana. Eggplant was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of cheese and sauce. After our leftovers were packed up my sister ordered vanilla gelato with chocolate sauce & whipped cream. I had the blood orange sorbet with whipped cream, as well. Both desserts were also embellished with fresh blueberries & strawberries. A really tasty way to complete the birthday luncheon. I also ordered a fresh cup of decaf coffee- it was perfectly brewed to my taste. Also, everything was grade A for presentation as well as portion size. We each took home enough for another meal (including the dessert!)We'll be back! read more

After several friends recommended this place, I stopped in with another friend for lunch. There is no lunch prix fixe. On their website it seems like that is a winter thing. Also if you want bread, it costs nine dollars. I ordered a delicious calamari fried Diablo with linguine and it was good, but I just want a little slice of bread and butter with it. I asked and I was told I would have to pay for it. My own lunch bill for one with the tip came to $30 and honestly I think they could've just given me a sliver of Italian bread and some butter for nothing. The food was good and the service was good but with top dollar pricing they shouldn't be so cheap about the bread. read more

Just had a drink here so can't speak for the food but the cocktail menu is awesome. I had the green tea matcha cocktail and it was incredible. I have never had a green tea matcha drink and matcha is like my favorite drink ever so that was awesome to have as a cocktail. The bartender was super friendly and fun. We had a nice time here last night. We tried to come in here once before but the bar was full so we couldn't stay. Beautiful inside. Would love to come back again. read more

If you can get over the fact the place is a little loud, there are some great things coming out of this kitchen. The cocktails from the bar are really good and they have a good happy hour. But the pizzas and their choices are amazing. How did it take this long for somebody to put porchetta on a pizza?????? read more

Been here about a dozen times, so this is an overall impression since they've opened. Def not a "been there once 5 star "shill/b.s." review. First, I like the place, salads are good, pizza is "ok", sorry but they're not 4/5 star great. Sure they mix things up and all, but they're just ok. Their rice balls are fabulous, as are their breads. As far as Bronx-style, not sure about that as my in laws are from da Bronx and I don't remember any Bronx-style pizza with cherry peppers. Anyways, as others have said the place is way too loud and when outdoor seating isn't an option, the inside is just awful. Sorry. You're better off going for lunch early/mid week. Speaking of lunch, they had an awesome pre-fixe lunch special, it was almost too good to be true. Alas they appear to have discontinued it, probably because they were losing money on each order. Repeating, I like the place, 3.5 stars, but it's not 4 stars and there are only a handful of places in this state that are 5 stars, and none are in Fairfield... read more

Oscar was the best and so was the food!My friend and I shared the pesto pizza, bread service, and vodka pasta ALL 10/10.

Having been frequent patrons of Sophie's sister restaurants: Sinclair and Malibu, we finally made our way to Sophie's. We had a reservation on a Friday evening, smack int he middle of happy hour. Great atmosphere in the bar and in the restaurant. Fantastic service. And the food was top notch! I had their specialty pizza and my daughter had a chicken parm sandwich. And when we told them her name is Sophie, she got complimentary desert of the most delicious gelato. We've gotten carry out twice from there since that visit, and can't wait to go back. Great place! read more

Food was amazing! Price was great as well as service and ambiance. Everyone was friendly. Lunch specials were a great value.

Excellent! Great Pizza, Pasta and Eggplant. The portions are huge and delicious. Loved the vibe too! Windows were open to allow the summer breeze to come in. And the bar was crowded with folks enjoying themselves. Our waiter was also super accommodating we got there right before the kitchen closed and he took our order over the phone to get it in on time. It was ready when we got there! Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend for a casual dinner date or a family dinner. read more

I can't say enough good things about Sophie's. The vibe is nice, but not pretentious. Every time I've come, the service has been great and the food has been excellent. The calamari is top tier, and the vodka sauce served with it is a great touch. The chicken parm Bronx style was insanely good. Way too much to finish in one sitting (not complaining!) but the flavors are so good. I've often split a salad with someone else and those are really tasty as well. When it's warm outside, it's so nice sitting outside and enjoying a cocktail, but it's cozy inside during the winter too. One of my favorite places in town! read more

I absolutely love this place! We sat at the bar and just got drinks and the bartenders were amazing. We had a guy, Junior, and Nicole, who was training and they were both awesome- super friendly, had good recs, and overall fun staff. They had great recommendations for us and even made us some off-the-menu drinks. The environment was fantastic and not too too busy. We will definitely be back!!!

Food is good. Repetitive music is unbearable however. How many times can you play Sinatra . good cocktails.

The food at Sophie's is consistently Delicious! This is by far our favorite restaurant in Fairfield and we frequent there often. The staff is always so friendly and the service is wonderful. They have a fabulous happy out as well! It a great community meet up place and I often run into many friends. I hate to give such a rave review because then the secret is out and it keeps getting busier and busier... good for them though! read more

Sophie's Pizza Bar..... it's my Choice Ah, Sophie's Pizza Bar! A name that had been whispered in hushed tones among foodies like a secret recipe passed down through generations. This place came highly recommended, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint--though finding it felt like a scavenger hunt for culinary treasure. Nestled in a nondescript strip mall off a main road, Sophie's could easily be mistaken for a place that only serves sad sandwiches and regrets. But once you step inside, it's like entering a different world--a sanctuary of twisted italian cuisine perfection! The atmosphere was so chill and relaxing that I half-expected a group of yoga practitioners to emerge from the kitchen, chanting "Om" while rolling out dough. The staff was professional and welcoming, with Vinnie, the bartender, being a standout of our experience. He informed us he was new to the restaurant, which was a bold move, considering he was already vibing like a seasoned pro. With a friendly grin that is inviting, Vinnie whipped up two drinks for us: a red sangria that tasted like summer vacation and a specialty Manhattan that could have convinced me to abandon all my other cocktail loyalties. Both were handcrafted masterpieces that seemed to sing in harmony with my taste buds. Now, onto the small plates! First up were the Bolognese egg rolls and Tuscan beans. The egg rolls were like the love child of Italian and Asian cuisine--crispy, savory, and filled with a Bolognese that was so delicious it could've secured a spot on the Food Network. The Tuscan beans, however, were good but didn't quite steal the spotlight. They were like the reliable friend who shows up to the party but doesn't bring any snacks. Good to have around, but you'd prefer a bit more pizzazz. Next came the main event: the eggplant parmigiana and mussels in white wine. The mussels were so buttery and delicate that I felt like I was eating a fancy seafood dish while lounging on a yacht--if only my yacht wasn't actually a folding chair in my yard. The broth was outstanding, and the grilled bread was like the best wingman ever, soaking up every delicious drop like it was a final exam. As for the eggplant parmigiana, let's just say it was a hefty dish that could probably double as a doorstop. I personally enjoy my eggplant thick, and this one delivered! The pasta served with it was al dente, which usually I appreciate, but this was teetering dangerously close to "I'm-not-sure-if-I'm-actually-cooked" territory. The sauce had a delightful sweetness that made me feel like I was being serenaded by a tomato in a romantic comedy. A little insider info: Sophie's is a sister restaurant to Malibu's and Sinclair, both owned by the same entity. So if you find yourself in the area, you're in for a treat, and it's worth stepping off the beaten path to discover this gem in Fairfield, Connecticut. In conclusion, Sophie's Pizza Bar is a delightful detour from the mundane. With a welcoming vibe, delicious handcrafted drinks, and a menu that dances between flavors, it's a spot you'll want to visit again and again. Just remember to leave room for the eggplant parmigiana--because once you try it, you might just find yourself dancing with joy! read more

Went to Sophie's Pizza Bar recently and had a great experience. The pizza was really good, fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. Cory at the host stand was fantastic. Super friendly, organized, and made us feel taken care of right away. Amos was our server and honestly made the night. He was attentive without hovering, knew the menu well, and had a great attitude the whole time. You can tell when someone really knows what they're doing and cares, and that was definitely the case with him. Great food, great service, and Cory and Amos really stood out. We'll definitely be back. read more

I have been wanting to try this place . So here we are , I was greeted warmly . I wanted to dine at the bar for a solo dinner. The atmosphere was busy , btwn the bar and dining area. Let's get to this food, I started with the garlic cheese bread , with a side of vodka sauce . I have to say it was the best cheesy garlic bread I've ever had in a while. For my main course I had the lobster raviloi and it was so bomb.com! So cheesy and saucy. For dessert I had affogato which a perfect ending. My server/ bartender was Tyler he was great! They do have happy during day hrs and also 6pm to close . I'll def be returning . read more

Food and value was really good. Service - not at all. Went during workweek lunch and they have amazing specials. I got the codfish and beans (was huge) and an onion pizza. It took around 10-15 minutes for the waiter to visit our table and ask for drink orders. Ordered food when we got drinks and then it took another 45-60 minutes to get our food. This is workday lunch! In total, I arrived at 12:15 and we finally checked out at 2:20! Good thing I have flexible work hours. Vibe was nice but music was a bit loud for conversation. I will try it again because the specials are so good. Really hope they speed it up though! read more

Recently had a date night here with my pizza loving fiancé. Our resos were for 8:15pm. The place was hopping! We arrived a little early but didn't wait much past our reservation time. To start we had the bread service and fried mozzarella. The fried mootz was great! And the sauce was delicious. We also enjoyed the bread service which I think was just their pizza dough in bread form. It came with ricotta, pizza sauce and an evoo dip. My fiance opted for his plain cheese pizza. It came out with fresh mootz and a little saucy (he hates a lot of sauce) but he said he loved it because the sauce is so great. I had a bite and agreed! I opted for chicken saltimbocca which was perfectly cooked with such a declious sauce. Knocking off a star because the prices are pretty steep. $17 for a glass of Provence rose! Eeek. Anyways we'd probably come back again! read more

Used to be our favorite restaurant. I would work all week, and come sundays for some pizza and a cocktail. Now you can't order a drink until you're 25 unless you have a CT ID . Unbelievable. If your a young man or women, you should absolutely boycott this place. Disappointing behavior. Also, the rule doesn't stop fake ids.... How about invest in a black box and scanner or have a qualified manager check ids . Also, the amount of grad dinners that will be moved to other locations is absurd.... We already see it trending in local college forums. read more

Went for Happy Hour, which they have M-F 3-6pm! This is the biggest selections of delicious small plates as well as half off wine, beer and spirits. The dining space consists of many booths and the pizza oven is showcased in the corner. The servers were very attentive despite it getting increasingly busy. We enjoyed the steak tips, arancini with spicy vodka, chicken parm bites, chicken in red pepper sauce, garlic bread with mozzarella and 2 variations of espresso martinis. Overall a fantastic meal! read more

Had a reservation for 8:30 and was seat 30 minutes later. Very little communication. This has happened on several occasions too. If you are on a time crunch. 10/10 would not recommend because a reserved time means nothing here. read more

So many apps and interesting entrees to try, you might think to skip the pizza since we live in a very competitive pizza paradise. But the pizza is not to be missed, esp the pepperoni with perfect size, crisp and meaty bite. The bolognese egg rolls are crisp yet chewy and hit so many rich, savory notes I order them every time. This is why we watch out diet and eat salads all the time... to enjoy things like these egg rolls now and again! Rest of the menu I've tried so far is tasty and fun, and good drinks from the bar. It's always a hopping fun scene and the staff is excellent and will help squeeze you in even on a busy night when you show up at prime time with kids. read more

Sophie's is wonderful on every level! Our family dines at Sophie's regularly for both lunch and dinners, and are never disappointed, but our absolute favorite is our reserved dining on Christmas Eve.

The bread was THE BEST EVER. The food was delicious. The waitress was outstanding. Best luncheon meal experience in Fairfield.

Food was good, waiter was great also. The light fixture on our table was not working, and having been in restaurant settings for a job, I tried fixing it. The owner comes up to me rudely and abruptly stops our meal and tells me to stop "playing with it" and comes over and rips it out of my hand. It was very degrading, and he goes to the manager and says I started a problem. I did not. Everything was good, but the owner came across the wrong way to me and it was unprofessional. read more
