Went to Sofia based on local recomendations- wow what a great place for dinner while in Old San Juan. The food, wine, atmosphere and service were outstanding.

Sofia Loren would be embarrassed. Food is "blah", wine is 1/4 of the glass for $8. Only decor deserves good grade. Ordered Fettuccine pasta dish but they brought Penne. Only when I pointed out the mistake they said no Fettuccine on that day?! No apology, no discount. Would not recommend this place at all.

Very good pizza selection. Fresh ingredients! Excelent creme brulee. Good beer! The atmosphere here is awesome, this place is beautifull. Nice decoration, and nice personel keeps customers comfortable and the attention is good. It has a beautifull balcony with nice outdoor garden where you can enjoy your pizza and your beer. Price is very good. The only drawback is that... More

If you would have told me that we would have one of the better Italian meals ever in Puerto Rico, I would say Mofongo! But truth be told the food, service, atmosphere, and Everything in-between was excellent to say the least. Do yourself a favor when in Old San Juan, and skip the Wal-Mart type tourist traps and walk off... More

Falling off the bone veal with the most delicious sauce, it's so good, I enjoyed getting "lost" in its' magic. Whoa. P.S. WONDERFUL vibe, lovely staff -- the owner looks like Bibi Netanyahu and hits a bullseye every time in terms of flavorful dishes and attentive (but not annoying) service. A no-risk dining experience!

We went to Sofia's on our final night in San Juan. The service is very good, and the staff was quite attentive to our needs. We started with drinks, and I had the sangria, which was good. I had a nice pistachio salad with a orange vinaigrette. The salad was very tasty. For an appetizer, we had a stuffed eggplant.... More
