“I had the pleasure of visiting the restaurant last Sunday. The only thing that I can say is that it was a unique experience. Since I moved to Delaware, I have not been able to find a place with such exquisite characteristics, the people are very nice and the food was awesome. It is a beautiful and fine place. I will visit you again.” ~Lissette

“We have visited your restaurant twice and the food has been great along with the service. We will continue as patrons of your restaurant. It really has been worth the wait for your opening.” ~Jack & Clara Rust

“EXCELLENT! I had lunch today and it was perfect. Beautiful atmosphere, great service and excellent food. Great value as well. I absolutely will return—often!” ~Valerie Dryer

“A nice change from Lamberti’s, Soffritto has an extensive menu and with booths available near a waterfall or a fireplace… There does not seem to be a bad seat in the house.” ~Spark

“The people of Newark no longer have to drive so far for great pasta. Soffritto is the kind of Italian restaurant we want—affordable, good, but still classy enough for a date.” ~The News Journal

“My husband and I and 2 friends were at Soffritto for dinner on a Friday. It was our first time. Everything (from appetizers to dessert) was wonderful. We will tell all our friends and will definitely be back. Thanks for a wonderful evening.” ~Cindy Horan

“I was very impressed with the food when I ate at your restaurant this evening; it was far better than I had imagined.” ~Drew Miller

“I dined here for the first time tonight, the food was outstanding! I had the Vitello Andrea Boccelli—huge portions, great flavor, the brandy sauce was great, and the veal was perfectly tender. I finished with the lemonberry jazz—it was one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. It was so good, I told the waiter that I was going to "Google" the recipe when I got home to make it for myself. I will defenitely come again!” ~Sue Montebell

“I visited your restaurant yesterday for the first time. Truthfully, I had no plan of doing so, but it started to snow and I was already near my home. There is a spectacular, pleasantly surprising yet subtle ambience to the entire establishment. David, my server, was as attentive to this solo guest as to any of the families or couples seated around my booth. His professional service was completely genuine and sincere; his courtesy a finding that was of itself a rare gem in today's dining establishments. Please, take his talents a step further and appoint him as maitre d' hotel/major-domo! On top of all of this, the Gnocchi Piemontese was truly vintage European without 'wanna-be' pretense; and finally, this is the only place outside of New York that I have found that knows how to brew and capture the essence of a great double espresso! TOP SHELF DINING! ” ~Dr. J LaBarrett

“My wife and I wanted to thank Giovanni and the rest of the staff for making us feel so wonderful whenever we dine at your restaurant. We enjoy our experience everytime and the food is EXCELLENT! It is so great to have a place close by that we can treat ourselves to. Congratulations on a fantastic place.” ~Ken Miller

“We have been at your restaurant twice so far and each time we have been impressed. You have provided a great dining experience. Not only is the food outstanding, the service is second to none. Whatever is in your spaghetti sauce don't change it (DELICIOUS).” ~William Humphrey

“This is the first time I have been compelled to send a comment along after dining at a restaurant. A+++! Thank the entire staff for such a wonderful evening!! The food was excellent and the portions were very generous. The staff was discreet and courteous. My husband and I especially appreciated the time taken by the management to not only visit with the guests, but to use a 'hands on' approach assisting staff and customers in such a positive way. And the LARGE coffee mugs are a nice touch. ALL OF THESE THINGS MAKE SOFFRITTO'S A STAND-OUT. We will return often and tell our friends about you!” ~Sherry Hoffman

“After spending a long time driving around aimlessly trying to decide trying where to have dinner we ended up at Soffritto's. We are so pleased we did. It truly gave a restaurant we feel we can go back to time and time again. Stefania and Giovanni made us feel that we had been there many times before and we were welcomed friends visiting their establishment. We look forward to the next visit to experience their great food, quality ingredients and warm hospitality.” ~Amy and Joe Macchiarelli

“As one of the former owners of Lums restaurant, the transformation of the building is an awesome site to see. The food and atmosphere was great! THE CITY OF NEWARK DEFINITELY NOW HAS A FULL SERVICE ITALIAN THEME RESTAURANT WITH AFFORDABLE PRICING. Best of luck and look forward to many return dinning experience.” ~Jay Ehrlich

“We eat out often and it is refreshing to find that at Soffritto, excellent food, magnificent atmosphere, and friendly professional staff is all part of the experience consistently! On top of that, the owners treat you like family. OUR FAVORITE! Thank you Giovanni and Stefania for a five star evening.” ~Dave & Rose De Masi

“My girlfriend and I ate at Soffritto for the second time Friday night. I ordered the Linguine Pescatore and she, the Crab and Shrimp Ravioli. Both of our meals were excellent, although I believe mine was much better! It was a SEAFOOD LOVER'S DREAM COME TRUE...clams, mussels, scallops and shrimp!!! In addition to great food, we had excellent service! Thank you.” ~Brianna
