Sofia Ristorante - Hudson

It was our second choice that night. We wanted to try a new restaurant in Hudson, but were blasted out by the noise level. Though our second choice, Sofia's is an old favorite, and we and our friends had a delightful meal and evening. Service always a plus with personable staff; delicious food, including some surprises with an appetizer we had not tried before (the buratta special) and a limoncello based dessert.

Being Italian, I would describe the restaurant as the classic American “Italian” restaurant, not authentic (aside from the spelling of the restaurant name , not even average compared to other Italo-American restaurants. I would describe the decor as early 90’, carpet, dated furniture. The menu was uninspiring..yet... when I go to a new restaurant I usually ask the waiting staff for the most popular or best dish on the menu as reference for what else I could taste the next time I come. I was suggested either chicken or steak (not quite Italian staples.. but sure.. , so I went for the steak. Ordered it rare, arrived medium. The cut and quality of the steak were below supermarket sale. I would not recommend... but there appeared to be few repeat customers.. so perhaps is just a matter of taste..

Sofia is a charming Trattoria on Main Street in Hudson with well executed Pastas and Italian fare. The service is good; and the food is really good. We started with Arracini and a nice salad. Pastas were homemade and tasty. We would definitely return.

Another great time at Sofia Ristorante. The food, the atmosphere, and of course the people are always amazing. The burrata appetizer was oh so good. My veal parm tender and tasty. They didn’t have my wife's fav meal baby clams over spaghetti on the menu but the chef whipped it up for her and it was spot on. Oh did I mention the great bottle of Banfi Brunello we enjoyed with our meal. Believe it or not we ended the night with a terrific amaretto affogato (another item not in the menu) and a limoncello parfait. Definitely one of our favorite places.

Enjoyed another great meal at Sofia’s with friends. I had a special with baby clams and my husband had the bolognese. Delicious!
