The service was good. The food was not what I expected. We were 5 people & only 1 main dish was you can say worth the price you paid. The vegetarian pizza looked more like a Margherita pizza. I counted 10 zucchini, 4 eggplant slices, 5 half sliced peppers, & 2 oyster mushrooms. Hardly any cheese. You can say the bare minimum for the price ($26). The pasta dish with sausage & rapini looked like an entree dish. The salmon had a tablespoon of rice & a couple of leaves of vegetables.
The only presentable dish was the prosuito pizza, which looked good.
I understand the cost of food has gone up, but the plates looked miserable.
I can think of many other Italian restaurants to go eat where you get your money's worth. This place I would not recommend.
Ambiance felt cold & unwelcoming at times. Food was okay but not great pizza was lacking ingredients & plates sizes were small. All in all it was an okay supper nothing more.
We went to Sofia on a Friday night as a group of seven. First challenge: no parking outside, so I had to use the indoor garage. The sign at the entrance said parking would be covered if validated by the restaurant.
When we arrived, our group had already placed their orders, so I added mine - a glass of wine & a main dish. The restaurant was full, so I understand it was busy, but it took quite a while for the wine to arrive. There was no water on the table, & we had to ask for it ourselves. Throughout the night, our waitress rarely checked on us, even as she passed by several times. We had to ask a busboy twice to find her.
The food, however, was excellent - very tasty & well-prepared. That part definitely lived up to expectations.
I wanted a second glass of wine later, but again, our server was nowhere to be found. When I finally managed to get one, it took a while too. At the end of the meal, I asked her to validate my parking ticket, which she claimed to have done.
We stayed about 45 minutes after paying - just chatting, stepping out for a smoke, & asking for more water. But when I got to the parking exit, I was surprised to be charged $8. Either the ticket wasn't properly validated, or the validation window expired during our stay - which wasn't clearly explained.
Overall, I'd give the experience 3 stars:
• Food: excellent
• Service: lacking
• Parking situation: frustrating
It's a beautiful place with great food, but the service & unclear parking policy really took away from the experience.
The Meal was really good. Service was also very good.
They lost my vote when I was charged $15 for water.
Does not make any sense. At least offer TAP water for free.
Tip selection starts at 18%. I had to manually select different option to get 15%
I'm definitely not going back for those reasons
