"We really enjoy eating at Soffritto's. The food is wonderful, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the service is superb. We especially like that our food order is cooked the way we wish. Last week we took my sister to Soffritto's and she raved about how great the entire exerience was. We marveled at how the servers filleted our fish; it was fascinating to watch! I know we will eat at Soffritto's many more times."

"We ate here on a recent trip to DE from Northern Virginia. The featured wine was a Malnera Merlot. At $28/bottle, it very resonably priced with excellent character. At the waiter's recommendation, we ordered the calamari to share for two. It was perfectly cooked with a healthy portion of rings (as opposed to breaded tentacles that are sometimes used to "pad" such appetizers). This was a winner. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the main course. We had the Salmone Alla Brace. It smelled fishy when it arrived at the table, and when piercing the skin, reeked of fish. One tiny taste and it was on it's way back to the kitchen. Old? Apologies arrived from the owner. We substituted stuffed shells. OK. We'll give the restaurant 1 more try."

"We dine at Soffritto's usually once a month and travel 30 min to get there. We have NEVER been disappointed. The food is always perfect as is the service. The restaurant is very clean and every staff member, including the owner, always makes sure our dinners are wonderful. I appreciate having a place as nice as this to have for an enjoyable evening out."

"Soffritto has never let me down. Reservations are not required, but helpful. They are VERY easy to make. Every time I have been, I am greeted by warm and welcoming staff, seated quickly, accommodated to my liking, and approached by a server promptly. The owner comes around to tables often and makes sure everything is alright which doesn't happen in restaurants unless you are at a swanky place in a big city somewhere. The food is AMAZING and aesthetically pleasing. Everything down to the music is superb. The staff are also very knowledgeable about the menu and details about the food. I would highly recommend visiting Soffritto!"

"Food was fresh but the pescatore could have used a bit more spice to make it flavorful - also shell fish very small - would have been better to have larger size versus the small shellfish used to create the illusion of all the fish. Service good - restaurant decor very nice - on the Friday evening we went - a LOT of kids were at this restaurant which I found surprising..."

"Took our UD student daughter for early Easter dinner. Special menu was very nice, server/kitchen very accomodating (substituded chicken for veal at our request) and it was quiet and lovely inside. Some dishes excellent, lamb just passing."

"Relaxing atmosphere with nice music. Servers were anxious to please us. The food was clearly lovingly prepared and presented so well! I Enjoyed a fish called Orata that tastes like flounder. They fileted the cooked fish in front of me. It melted in my mouth and the flavor was so good! The ribeye steak and lobster mashed potatoes my husband ate we give a 5. Mussels and clams were "really good" says my son. Not for the budget conscious at $30 per person without alcohol but a special occasion definitely!"

"This was the first time in years that we had ventured into Soffrito, and we remembered what we had been missing once we were seated. The restaurant was busy, but not so noisy you could not hear each other, the food was wonderful and the service was great. My husband and I each ordered the specials, and an appetizer. (Unfortunately I waited too long to write this and can't recall exactly what each was, but I do remembered that they arrived quickly enough for us to not be starving, and slow enough for us to not feel rushed.) I would definitely recommend Soffrito to my friends."

"Wait staff seemed overwhelmed on a busy Saturday night. Parking was terrible and we had to wait for a space to be available. The good news is that the food was wonderful."

"Been there several times now, we'll keep going back! Good food, good staff, good seating. Prices have gone up a bit recently from what I remember, but still a good value. Still one of our favorite 'go-to' places."

"The restaurant is easy to find and parking was not a problem even though the restaurant was busy. We got reservations with no trouble. We had a wonderful dinner experience. Attentive service. Enough variety to give each of us choices but not so many as to be confusing. And what we chose was excellent.
We'll be back."

"This is not our first time here. We always enjoy this place. I had the Boscaiola - cream sauce tossed with grilled chicken, broccoli and Parmigiano cheese with penne pasta. It was DELICIOUS. I had plenty of chicken but it seemed they spared the broccoli. It's still my fave dish there. My BF had the Rigatoni Primavera. He loves the abundant vegetables in this dish as well as the white wine sauce. We had the side salads which were fine. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. Normally I eat too much to have dessert but we splurged this evening. We ordered the "sampler" which is 3 "mini" desserts. At $4.50/ea they are overpriced for their size/portion. The "sampler" at $12 was a better price but still 3 very small desserts."

"The apps were great, the entrees were wonderful and, it needs to be said, our server wasaccomodating, knowlegeable and very helpful. Great job, kid!!!!The only downside was our reservation was for a table against a wall, not in the middle of the floor, but that's where they wanted to seat us until it was pointed out our reservation was quite clear on the seating."

"We are never disappointed when we come to Soffritto's. :-) No wait since I made reservations. Our server was very polite and attentive. I had the chicken parmigiana ($18) and BF had the chicken stuffed shells ($21). Both were DELISH. And I love taking home leftovers. My only (minor) beef with this place is charging an additional $5 for an "upgrade" to a caesar salad. It's not worth an additional $5. I'll stick to the included "house" salad next time."

"Went to Soffritto Grill on Valentine's day. I am not a seafood person so there wasn't too much for me to choose from on their Valentine's special menue. I did however, choose the Veal Parm because that was probably all I could eat and its usuall a hit or miss when I get a Parm Dish. Well, I couldn't stop eating the Veal Parm. It was out of this world and I just wanted to keep eating. I can't wait to go back!"

"This is one of our "go to" places, we even dine here Christmas Eve.. We enjoy the food, service, and atmosphere. How many places do you dine at where the owner visits every table and you aren't rushed out the door? It is very similar to dining in Italy where you are never rushed just so they can turn over the table and the food is consistantly good. I like the menu even more since they re-opened though I miss the eggplant starter, which was excellent."
