For my friends 18th, we went here to celebrate and had a feast! The garlic bread is not the typical roll, it is in the pizza shape form:) 1st, all their dishes are huge! Worth it. The SPAGHETTI CARBONARA is one of out favourites, it is creamy.But the winner of our night has to be the desserts. They are so good( and big). We had a date pudding and a berry cheesecake, both with a huge portion of vanilla icecream. The date pudding was warm and sweet, while the berry cheesecake was nice and creamy, cold.

Approximate cost: $16.00

Before I begin, it should be noted that Sofia is a family-friendly restaurant, and as such, should be thought about in that respect.

I attended this restaurant with my wife over the weekend. We know they have good prices and large portions, which is what we were in the mood for.

On a Saturday night, it is very busy. But, we didn't have any trouble getting a table, and the service was very fast. The staff seemed a little stressed and overwhelmed, however they were very friendly to us throughout.

We ordered a Ravioli Bolognese, and a Mexican Pizza. The pasta was good, a touch above the median, and the serving was huge. The pizza was a little disappointing, it could have done with more salami. But, for the prices paid, it's a very good deal.

If you want fine dining, don't go here. But if you want fresh food in a family-friendly atmosphere at a good value price, then you can't go too far wrong.

I loving going to Sofia purely because its large portion of food. Surely you would have plenty left to bring home for next day. However, the service was not impressive and the waiters were not smiling, most of them with a long face while serving us.

No. No, no, no. The only reason why I still think this restaurant is running is only because the portion sizes are so huge, besides that I really don't think it has anything going for it. Yes, the food is hot and tasty BUT the portions are way too big and ALL courses come garnished with old carrot (yuk). The staff are all young and don't really care about service, some of them were quite rude to my partner and I.

Good service, neat and clean! it is a great family restaurant. The food proportion is huge, and the price is worth it. It lets you take food on which is good. It is a great place to chill with friends and family and the price is great :D I really liked the pasta there, which was the ravioli and the pizza was a great price for a very big plate. They give great pricing for the food which has quite a lot in it. they also do delivers, which i find really helpful when i'm at home and don't' feel like going to eat.

this is a great family restaurant. beware the food sizes are enormous. but they let you take food home. this is a place where you can take kids out for dinner and not get looks from other people it is very busy and very loud. i love the avacado chicken fettucine

We have eaten at this place at least 30 times now, and I have never been disappointed with the food. The portion sizes are outrageous, but this is why we come here, so we can either share a meal, or so that we have lunch ready to go for the next day.

I usually have the same thing when I come here, which is the Pollo Avocado, which is Two juicy chicken breasts on a bed of veggies (usually at least accompanied by 7 different veggies) or salad, and covered with two baked avocado halves and a lovely creamy white wine sauce. It is ALWAYS great. Not only is always great, but it is always packed too, and for $18.90, for a meal that will fill two people up, that is amazing value these days.

The waiting service is a little slow due to the size of the place and after you have been given your food it takes a while to get anyone's attention again, but we don't come for the service, we come for the food, and the food is always great!

My 1st time in Sofia tonight. Really HUGE portions. We ordered this pasta thing where it has 3 pasta selections and is meant for 2 people but the 4 of us couldn't finish it! Their calamaris are good too. Can see that it's a favourite with the customers as they seem to be on every waiter/waitress hands when they exit the kitchen.

Can definitely improve on service though. Overall, most of the waiter/waitress are rather friendly except for this one guy. He was sulking the entire time we were there, not observant at all and seemed very unhappy to give us another bottle of water when ours finished.

We asked for another plate for our friend when she arrived later (Mr 'black' face had took the plate,knife and fork away) and he literally just gave us A plate, without the knife and fork. We had to help ourselves with the knife and the fork because obviously, we don't eat pasta with our fingers! We had to go look for our own takeaway containers as well as there was no around to ask.

Overall I guess it was alright.

Approximate cost: $20

We go here several times a year. Service is always good. We usually always order more than we can eat. Love the Sofia pasta with fettuccine and the seafood avacado salad. The garlic bread with cheese makes a good entree. Seafood platter is decent, but I would pass on the steak here as it's not really their speciality. Their salmon pizza is also decent but a little on the salty side. You can never pass on a large gelato for dessert here, it's massive and you get so many flavours! They also have some decent cakes and a good coffee for after meals.

Approximate cost: $15-$20

family friendly restaurant with an outdoor playground.
food comes in huge portion. we stay away fr ordering spaghetti bolognese and lasagne. my favourite pasta is sofia's with seafood, bacon and chic and seafood platter. tht always taste fresh. the steak sauce can be inconsistent once we had too much pepper in the pepper sauce. their cakes are yummy and very rich. when ordering bear in mind most meals even small size are enough to share between 2 people.

Approximate cost: $14-25
