Sophia's is one of the favorite places to go in Rosi for a great dinner, wine and atmosphere. Cozy booths for couples or small groups to share,-yet kid friendly great lighting-not too much..." Sophia's shares a courtyard with several other restaurants, including the Birch Street Bistro and Village Sushi
“Sophia’s feels like a trattoria in Italy,one you might stumble upon in some quaint little town” -… Boston Globe [1]
Must try are the spicy mussels served in a tomato fennel stew with chorizo polenta. The mussels are spicy and the chorizo polenta is absolutely delicious. Napoli, topped with mozzarella, tomato, and basil. Each pie is named for a region; Italy has most-favored-nation status, but the Barcelona (fresh mozz with seasonal vegetables) and the Santorini (sun-dried tomatoes, broccoli rabe, mozzarella, and goat cheese) are nods to the restaurant's other influences. Another menu item is the open-face ravioli, mm now what could that be? long, wide ribbons of perfectly tender pasta in a mascarpone sauce alongside tomatoes, zucchini, shrimp, and scallops. oh my!!
The wine list is good, nice red or white reasonably priced; dessert -- a light cheesecake with raspberries, and something called chocolate pâté that's served with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce -- hits the sweet spot.

Ate there the other night and had fabulous meal. First off Margarita's in pint glasses=awesome. Had Spanish antipasti plate, calamari, and a delicious stuffed zucchini dish. The fact that you can stroll in, sit on a patio, and have a great meal is priceless.
