    This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants! Im glad I made reservations for Valentine's Day because it was completely packed! As soon as you walk in there's a window full of homemade desserts. The inside may see like it is small, but it can fit quite a few people. We started with the calamari and we enjoyed it. Our entree took long so the sever gave us a free caprese salad which we greatly appreciated. My favorite meal is the Fettucine Salmone Burrata and I always get this but I decided to try something new. I ordered the seafood ciambotta and sadly it was not my favorite. We also ordered a dessert and a small coffee. Service was very slow this time, but I think it was mainly because of Valentine's Day. Despite the slow service and the meal I got, I still regard this restaurant as one of the best in Pembroke Pines and I will continue being a repeat customer.

    Meat 3 Layer Lasagna

    This was a great dinner place for groups. I went with a book club so we were a table with 10 ladies and there was ample room to set us up and we were not disturbing anyone with our conversations, and were perfectly placed in one of 3 rooms that Sosta has for their patrons. Upon leaving, I noticed another larger group of people having some function in the 2d area of the cafe, while several smaller tables were also being taken care of and were u disturbed by all these larger gatherings around them: so it has great space. The food was very good, the service was dedicated and impeccable: we had a fantastic time there... and I was sad that I was so full that I could not order one of the delicious desserts I had noticed when I arrived: wow! They seem to have delicious cakes that are also made in store! So overall it was great Italian food. I ordered a meat lasagna bolognese- it was the northern style (my favorite) without ricotta cheese but with bechamel sauce instead. Yummm! I also took a picture of a vegetable lasagna that was very tempting, and this exuberant dish ordered by a friend that was an Italian nachos (?) that quite frankly looked delicious!! So everything around me looked suuuper appetizing. I have to come back and get some! Enjoy!

    Corvina fish - too thin & tasteless!

    The only thing this restaurant has going for itself is that it has low lighting that makes it comfortable but the food and service is completely lacking. We walked in on a Sat at 8pm and we didn't get acknowledged until 5 minutes later. I can forget this is the food is at par but it's not. I ordered the CHICKEN LASAGNA and CORVINA FISH and both dishes were horrendous! The chicken was dry and tough to chew and the lasagna was filled with a bunch of ricotta and was flavorless! The Corvina fish was supposed to have a lemony sauce over it but it actually tasted like nothing. I really don't know how you can mess this dish up. I normally order dessert but after these two dishes, I decided to skip it. Oh well, this is the first and last time visiting Sosta Cafe. The Pembroke Pines (S.Broward) area is really in need of better restaurants.

    Sosta Caffe is still one of my favorite Italian restaurants up north!!! Have not been here in a little over a year and the service has improved a bit with quicker service and the food quality is still absolutely amazing! Fresh, delicious, and you can truly taste the authentic Italian flavors. Their desserts, pastas, meatballs, bread, and bruschetta are all made daily! I can imagine everything else to haha. The ambiance feels very cozy like your in little Italy. Highly recommend to anyone who wants some good Italian that's in Pembroke Pines. ^.^

    This Italian treasure on Pines boulevard is spectacular. Visited this place for dinner on a Saturday night. We had made reservations but we arrived prior to the time . The staff was very welcoming and accommodated us immediately. While we waited five minutes for our table, Our attention was all caught on the desserts displayed on the counter. They were impressed with the variety and the presentation of these desserts which made it very difficult to chose from during our dinner. Anyway, table service was top notch and to detail. Waitress was very helpful in our choices and must say everything was delicious. This is a wonderful restaurant to visit for a date night or enjoy with family or friends. Great choice!

    So we walk in, the lady behind the counter greets us and then walks away. Like what? Another server checked on our reservation and sort of pointed to where we could sit. Luckily for us, we got served by a third person who was friendly and knew about the dishes. The bread was outstanding as was the olive oil. We ordered bruschetta and that was really good. It was missing a little salt but honestly, I'd rather it be needing salt than salty. The vinaigrette reduction complimented the tomatoes on the bruschetta. The fiocchi di pera was tasty. Fresh made pasta with pear inside and in a white Gorgonzola sauce. I added a little salt but again, I'd rather add salt than have a salty dish. They had a big selection of cakes to choose from: Nutella, cheesecake with berries; limoncello tiramisu, etc. The cheesecake by itself was a little dry but when u mixed it with the berries, it was quite tasty. Ample parking in and around the area.

    While my last visit here was okay, unfortunately this time was just bad. Starting from the beginning, I called ahead to make a reservation for a party of 10 a couple weeks in advance. I requested a specific table as well and they said it would be fine. I asked about preordering/reservering a cake for the party as well and they said it was fine and a whole cake would be $80 and to have them cut the cake it would be $120 total... Closer to the date, I went in person to confirm the reservation. They had written the wrong day and time under my name so thank goodness I did go, because otherwise my reservation wouldn't have even existed day of. I double checked about the cake while I was there too, asking if I needed to give a deposit. They said no deposit, but that it was $85 for the cake despite telling me $80 on the phone. (I ended up not getting the cake). I asked again about having a specific table and they said it was no problem. On the actual day, they didn't even check my reservation and also did not give me the table I had requested. There was no menus or anything set up ready for my reservation. The service during our time was not good. Drinks were not refilled and they brought out all but a few of my party's main courses and we had to wait 10 more minutes for the rest of our entrees with no explanation. Maybe this is not a problem for others but we prefer to wait for everyone to get their food so we can eat all together. We requested a refill of the free bread they provide when they were first serving our entrees and they brought it out at the same time that we were asking for to-go boxes... All that aside, the food was just okay. During previous time here I got the four cheese ravioli and it was fine. This time, I got the chicken parm and the closest comparison I can provide is that it tastes exactly like the Lean Cuisine frozen chicken parm. The chicken was just dry and chewy. Overall, I'm very disappointed with this visit as I had thought I was returning for a good meal. Perhaps this is not the best place to bring a bigger party for a reservation and is better suited for a casual, walk-in meal.

    My friends and I went to Sosta Caffe for a late lunch on a Saturday. As we entered, we were immediately greeted by someone behind the amazing looking dessert case. There were a few tables seated, but no wait. Our server was friendly and service was quick. Everything we ordered was well seasoned and flavorful. They have a robust menu and I am looking forward to going back to try some of their other dishes.

    First time at Sosta on a Monday night! The restaurant was decorated nicely and we were seated immediately with a reservation. The service was lackluster, I didn't feel we were checked on frequently despite the restaurant being pretty empty. I ordered the Carbonara which had great flavor, but unfortunately not hot enough. It came to the table lukewarm. I tried the Fiocchi di Pera which had an amazing texture, but the pear flavor was not super strong. The chicken parm was delicious. The desserts were really tasty and the waitresses drew out the happy birthday sign which was sweet.

    I came here after hearing so much about their desserts, and I wasn't disappointed! Right when you walk in, you see the selection of cakes at the counter. Don't be fooled by the menu-there are probably double that amount of options in the actual case. The staff were patient in answering what everything was because they weren't labeled. After going back and forth for a while, I went with the classic chicken parmigiana. It was good, fresh, and, and a perfect portion size. I also love the feel of the restaurant. There are different rooms, exposed brick, and nice decor that all make you feel like you're in someone's home. One of the tables even looks like it could be a kitchen counter. The desserts were huge and very good. I ended up taking my cake home and eating it over the course of a few days.

    Originally went in thinking this was a cafe, but was surprised, in a good way that it was a sit down restaurant. The decor was very cute and homey. Ample seating everywhere very spacious and very authentic. Our waiter was very kind and patient, we were actually served by the owners brother who gave us a mini tour of the restaurant and let us know that you can have a huge party without having to rent out the place. The food was amazing. The pizza was so good, the cheese was melting off, the pasta amazing as well. The tiramisu was a bit dry missing some coffee, but maybe that is what authentic tiramisu tastes like? Either way I will be coming back to try other dishes.

    Amazing appetizers

    Food was delicious. And the service was so kind to us You have to try their bread options are the best. The setup is so neat and nice I love the decorations and setup of their restaurant. You can even sit outside.
