Comments of Sofia Burwood Italian Pizza Restaurant
N. C.
A great staple in the pizza and pasta restaurant business. Huge portion sizes, very decent prices. We love the Mexican pizza - one of the few pizzas that's actually spicy. A nicer little playground for the kids. Lots of parking and a huge restaurant inside. Mostly friendly service.
F. M.
Food is yum and customer service is good too!
N. L.
We were first introduced to this family oriented Italian restaurant by my relative many years back and had eaten many times. Post Covid we had a recent early dinner. The place has plenty of parking and a small play area for young kids. Large indoor place to accommodate big parties. See photos taken. Portions are large so be ready to take takeaway boxes. All our orders came so quickly from entree to mains that they occupied the table in one go.
J.
A great place to share a meal, with large quantities. Pasta misto is great value and a chance to try 3 different pastas. And the spaghetti Sofia's has not disappointed over the years. The usual order. Beware the family sized herb pizzas/bread are giant.
The quality is good, it's not the most refined Italian food but pretty good for the price. Great for big families and get togethers.
v. s.
I went there with a friend. And we ordered a small size pizza for share🍕, but the waiter placed a small size pizza for each 🍕🍕. Highly recommended next time, please repeat the order to customer and make sure no misunderstandings.
The coffee was good and the pizza was average.
Y. A.
Very good food and good service 😊 get good size portions for the price compared to some other restaurants.
D. F.
I just rediscovered Sofia. It must have been about 15 years since I last ate there and the prices haven't changed since then! I think this is the only restaurant in the world that hasn't increased their prices in the last decade and a half. Amazing food- especially the cheesy garlic bread- and ridiculously huge serves. Love this place!
S. N.
The portions were massive. I ordered the steak and it was very bland not enough salt. Mushroom sauce was good but could not make up for the lack of seasoning. First time I did not finish a steak. The other two dishes were fine. Food came out very quick while they were very busy. Leeds me to think they they make a lot of this in bulk to save time. That is not always a good thing.
m. t.
Food is really nice here. You pay a bit but the portions are massive, leaving you with leftovers and lunch covered the next day. Staff are so nice!
A. D.
Generous portion. Very authentic Italian. Reasonable price. Definitely going back again and again.
E. L.
Thank you Sofia Burwood for your hospitality today! We had a farewell + Christmas lunch and as usual, Sofia never failed us. The service and food was excellent and we couldn't have fault you all. We were too hungry so there wasn't any foodie pictures to post with my comment the portion was massive (we had to take away 14 containers!) and yummy! Thank you once again Sofia and we will definitely be back (as we had the past 10 years!)
D. D.
Great local Pizza and Pasta restaurant. The food is great, serving portions are huge plus you can take away the food you can't finish. Staff are professional and friendly. Heaps of parking. Gluten free food available. It gets busy but the restaurant has heaps of seats. Great for large groups or family meals.
M. D.
Sofia's in Burwood has always been great! Had my son's 16th birthday party there and the staff made it appear seamless and trouble free. Best of the prices are great.
B. M. G.
The food was very average. Staff was very helpful. However, I felt it was a bit too crowded and they try to put a lot of staff in to a small area.
It's a big location they could easily use the whole space.
T. N.
Food and service was Good!Big portion and valve for money👍
C. C.
Unbeatable value. For family of 4 we ordered a large pizza, a plate of pasta and a seafood platter. We left with full tummy and some leftover. Friendly and fast service.
S. L.
We had a celebration lunch as a party of 30 people. We preordered our meals and every dish came out as per our order. Portions were great value and food was tasty. No complaints from the kids so that would be 2 extra stars from me. Staff was very accomodating and placed us near the entry to the playground which was very thoughtful. They even gave the kids lollies at the end of lunch which was such a lovely gesture. Thanks for having us, Sofia!
c. D. F.
We've been coming here for years, it is a lovely family run restaurant, they're very welcoming and friendly, the food is very good and good size portions ..
N. N.
Great customer service. Waiter got me a bottle of water even before I asked. A lot of parking space at the back of the restaurant. Love the Caesar Salad, chicken pizza and garlic bread. Pasta is the pretty standard and we have been going to Sofia for ages. Great family friendly restaurant!
C. K.
Food is good here. Service can be a little slow. Only issue is we were crowded in on two tables with no social distancing.
B. C.
I don't normally write reviews, I've been a local to Burwood for a few years now and have tried many restaurants. I've placed orders online for pickup and it has been ready before my pick up time with the service being great. Can taste how fresh the seafood is. We have now found our regular go to for a great meal.
V. L. A.
My husband and I always go back to this place. Family-friendly diner. It is always busy and I guess that is one good sign that this resto is sensational. Their tiramisu is to die for! Their steak is mouth-watering and I love the concept of their three pasta in one plate. To top it off, the service is amazing and fast. You do not have to wait for the food for long time.
M. M.
Alway's made to feel welcome..pleasant environment..helpful staff..good selection on the menu, very adequate sizes of meals..delicious..good value for money...The only part that's sometime's annoying is inconsiderate parent's who let their kid's run around yelling and screaming..Some people I've had meals with, won't return because of the noise...or possible noise on their next visit.otherwise a very happy atmosphere..🙏👏
j. d.
Love their food, always fresh amazing customer service, clean perfect place to either dine in or take away.
L. B.
I haven't been here for years, but the food and service is just as good. Generous serves.
K. T.
Friendly staff and good food. Strongly recommend for garlic bread! It was so delicious.
R. F.
Pizzas were ok. Pastas and salads were much better. Ambience for a family restaurant could be better but since most of these places are only restarting after covid, it'll take a bit of time for patronage numbers to improve. Staff were friendly!
D. T.
Excellent service. Staff were very friendly and accommodating especially for a large group. Food was satisfying as always!
J. M.
Food was lovely , staff amazing 👏 tables could have been bigger , staff were great , food on point
M. D.
Great venue for birthday celebration for family and friends. Good service and friendly staff. Fresh food and beautifully presented.
T. K. (.
I just have to say that Sofia's is the best value for buck. Cheap and flavoursome food, hardworking staff, fastest waiting and cooking in their suburb.
Always gonna end up with food to take home. Number one ace for a family and affordable dinner.
H. X.
Great place for family and friends, the quantity of dishes bigger than our expectations, we enjoyed the food and services.
V. L.
Had a delightful meal here with my husband and I on our honeymoon-staycation. Ordered 3 dishes
-Garlic bread small
-Pollo (chicken) Libaba
-Tropical Hawaiian pizza small
Staff were all very attentive to even details we would not expect to be served, from warm water requests (bringing out 2 glasses of hot water & 1 jug of cold water so we can mix), to noticing spills on our table and wiping for us, to handing out extra pizza boxes and takeaway containers when my husband struggled to pack leftovers.
Impressed by the golden crisp crust garlic bread that was served like a beautiful pizza, but tropical haiwaiian pizza could be better as shredded ham tasted a bit burnt. The Pollo Libaba (Seafood, mushrooms, bacon, brandy, cream, Napoli sauce and a touch of curry) was also very good, ordered it not knowing it was a chicken main dish , but a seafood dish similar to the entree King prawn dish. But the pairing went so well with chips + salad. Grilled chicken breast was very generous and had a delicious chargrill to it, it is has been a long time i ate a nice grilled chicken breast. The dish's sauce was the highlight and my favourite to dip everything in :D
Will be back to try more and possibly dessert? 👀🤗 as the cashier person tries to hint to my husband cheekily while i was sneaking glances of the beautiful chunky slices
M.
Still I love this place. The price and the amount of food are always satisfying. However, the food used to be nicer. This time, I ordered two different types of pastas. Both of them had overcooked mushy and soggy.
N. K.
Amazing food and service. Staff is welcoming. Both vegetarian and nonveg dishes are mouth watering. Portion size are very good. Should give it a try at Burwood Highway.
J. S.
always have the vibes of family owned restaurant, great customer service and food
T. T.
Nice family restaurant with good food in large portions. Will definitely visit again.
H. D.
Excellent food served in huge plates and not easy to finish everything unless your really hungry😋and the waiters are very nice and friendly loved it😎👍
T. F.
Fast cooking and large portions. Tastes great and affordable prices. Love the takeaway gelati
S. D.
Great portions and sumptuous Italian food. Fairly priced and lots of options to choose from. Staff is friendly and accommodating and would customize a dish on request. Highly recommened.
L. R. (.
It is a bit oily, however, the portion of each dish is massive and can fill people up really easily
N. t.
Best food I've had lately, a beautiful big bowl of pasta with prawns, ham, mushroom and more. My partner had the best looking and tasting whole grilled flounder I've ever tried. Delicious.
C. J. P.
Very prompt service and the food was delicious. Serves are quite big where many people took home leftovers.
D. K.
Always a pleasure to eat here. the mud cake is just amazing
G. M.
Good food at great price. Team is also customer friendly and soft spoken.
S. C.
Food is good, big serves, the garlic bread (pizza) is a must have!
E. v. W.
Great tasty meals however the portion sizes are not for the faint hearted. The tables are also a bit narrow so with the giant plates it can become a little crowded. Overall excellent service and food! The pizzas are also too cheesy for my liking.
V.
Clean, quick and delicious as well as big portions which are not expensive as such
k. v.
Dont let you baby play in playground here.
Require deep cleaning.
Food is good quantity and quality 👌
M. N.
Come with your appetite because the dishes are quite big. Good value for your bucks. Very large spacious restaurant which can cater for couples and large parties. A number of disabled parking spots in the spacious carpark. Outdoor play equipment for little ones to both off their energy. Light airy simple decor. A good selection of cakes to choose from.
A. U.
Omg, amazing! Serving sizes are huge! Food was delicious! Great value for money!

Food was good service excellent
Restaurant was clean definitely going back
J. K.
We ordered a carbonara and a large capricciosa pizza delivered. There was a very generous amount of topping on the pizza and it was delicious. The carbonara was pretty good and there was a very generous amount. Both meals very hot, which was surprising. Delivery was quick. We were both impressed and very satisfied with the service.
K. X.
Good place to catch up with friends, the food is not great though.
A. L.
They really are top notch, even on the rare occasion some issue arises, they will fix it. The food is consistently good and I think real care and pride is taken in the quality of their food. One of the few places around that deserves customer loyalty.
G. Q.
Great service, amazing portions and delicious food.
N. L.
Used to go here quite a bit but visits were thwarted by the pandemic. Just came again and been twice this week — absolutely amazing experience, probably even better than before. The service standard is great here, and the food is in such generous servings, you’re guaranteed not to leave hungry! Definitely don’t turn down the suggestion of garlic bread: it’s so good. Will definitely be back!
J. B.
Always excellent food, but closes too early.
N. D.
Very large portion sizes here for food - very good value! If you can't eat all your meal, the staff can provide you with plastic containers so you can bring your leftovers home. Very good service.
M. E.
Huge and yummy meals for reasonable prices! Only downside was that it was very busy and crowded.
A. L. (.
Not a bad Italian restaurant.
Better than that other chain of Italian restaurants

Food was flavoursome and large portions. Great service. Very spacious restaurant for families.
S. C.
It's been a while since I've gone to Sofia's, but tonight we had a great night.
The food was great as always, the staff were fantastic and they were very conscious of making sure that people were distanced which made me feel a lot more comfortable at the first restaurant I've visited in nearly a year.
Well done.
W.
Food is fantastic, delicious and very big size portion for mains, I can only personally eat the entre size and that is plenty enough for me. Family, friends, have seen all walks of life in here and staff is friendly. Would highly recommend this place, bring your family and friends A+++++
D. D.
Great service during a tough time. Covid restrictions in place made it harder on staff and kitchen but they managed it well. Food was flavorsome and plenty
N. T.
Well to be honest, out of so many Sofia I still prefer to come back to Burwood. The food here is just different compared to others.
D. B.
My family and I went to check out this ok Sunday after Church. We sat down,
We ordered our meals plus drinks, and within 5 mins (was not counting at all) our drinks arrived, and a few minutes later our main meals started coming out.
We were in disbelief as to how quick out pasta and pizza came out.
The Customer was top-notch, Very well priced and good portion sizes (I had some leftovers to take home too 👏👏👏👏
I'll be back again Sofia 😁😁
G. S.
I ordered food for home delivery from Sofia Burwood through Doordash.
The food that was delivered to us was misplaced and we got the wrong order.
However, upon calling the restaurant, they were very supportive and sent me the replacement food that was originally missed from the order.
The food itself was excellent and much better than what I would expect delivered home. Pasta was superb, and Pizza was full of cheese and veggies. Garlic bread was also very tasty.
The food they delivered directly later was hot and fresh.
I would order from this place once again, simply for the fact that they really care for customer satisfaction.
W.
Food quality is okay, not great. But the portion you get is huge. I'm a big eater and have to get a take away container every time I come here. Service is good. Price is good.
M. R.
Great experience! Fantastic, huge serves of fresh well presented food. The staff were very attentive, polite and professional. Price was reasonable for the portion size. Will definately go back!
M. W.
Not too expensive for a very big meal. Even the small pasta was too much for me.
R. D. s.
Large servings but taste is average
C. P.
Called in for lunch randomly, we are actually from Geelong and this place was unreal. The service was great, the food exceptional and came out very quickly, couldn’t ask for anymore than that. Calamari and chips were perfect and the tortellini pollo funghi was also perfect, will definitely be coming back and definitely recommend this place to anyone
A. Y. M. P.
The portion are huge so it's a good place if you are hungry.
A. M.
They are so kind and I 100% recommend them to everyone. So we ordered the wrong saled on accident and they changed it for us. They have amazing quality and they have gargantuan portions and they have great tasting food :) and the customer service is fantastic 1000% recommended
S. A.
Food came out super quick at wasn't bad. Customer service was very lacking though. Staff seemed disinterested and somewhat rude. Over all decent experience.
S. H.
Very friendly staff and good pizzas. Lots of parking space in the back. McDonald's style kids play area and a large dining area but it is probably closed due to Covid-19. Wasn't very busy in the afternoon during the week.
B. C.
Great food large pizza half n half chicken and mushroom as well as American style. The American style was a bit salty but oversell great food servers and parking. Fantastic Christmas Eve Dinner.
H. J.
A mate and I got the pasta to share, it tasted so good and there was so much left over for tucker the next week's worth of dinner just about. Highly recommend, super tasty food and friendly staff.
S. F.
BIG portions, fast and friendly service.
S. F.
Delicious food and nice service
J. T.
Good service with giant servings. Was able to cater for a large group on short notice. The kids loved the outdoor playground. Meals came out prompt and service was good. They also provided take away containers for you to take leftovers home, I'm sure you will have left overs because the servings were so large !
J. S.
Food was good. Very noisy and busy with lots of kids. Service was great.
C. C.
Big dishes with reasonable price. Quick services. Due to social distancing, now the tables are further apart, feel more spacious and comfortable.

We live in seaford but are willing to drive all the way to Burwood. The food is amazing and so is the service. Thank you. Our usual order is seafood marinara pasta, cheese and garlic pizza. Yummy 👍

Awesome for big group of people gathering, celebrating and sharing plates!

Amazing food, reasonably priced &hospitality at its best. Highly recommend this beautiful restaurant that serves such delicious Italian spread. All the staff are very very hospitable,friendly and kind. Food comes in large portions and every dish that we had was absolutely Delish.

Average Italian food but serving sizes are large which is awesome! Lots of vegetarian pasta and pizza options.
The large gelato is always the best to get here. Can't go to Sophia's without it!
A. A.
I have eaten from here a few times now. Absolutely love the service, food is amazing the best pizza I've eaten.
Highly recommended.

The tagliatelle Sofia and Caesar salads are the best! And wild berry cakes. Excellent food and excellent service, always enjoy eating here
H. D.
Such yummy food for awesome prices and serving quantity with very kind service
C. S.
The food is pretty good! The prices are great for the huge portion sizes! Definitely enough to take home for the next day!
S. T.
Been there tonight after long time
as usual best place for authentic food and biggest serving size at least in Melbourne.
well done Sofia keep the standards and spirits up
R. L.
Food and service are both alright. They do have a friendly waiter and the food is what you would expect, not exceedingly delicious but still awesome. I personally reccomend the seafood platter, that us my go too.
G. L.
Fantastic service! All staff super friendly and very accommodating. Waiter even sang Happy Birthday with us for our party gathering. Food is not fancy but extremely satisfying and generous size servings. Pizza reminds me of Pizza Hut. Definitely recommend this place for family gatherings and birthdays. Kid friendly.
s. p.
Hit and Miss.
The food portions are huge so u get "value" for money. No flavour though. Don't go when it's busy as the food is horrible. When it's quiet the food can be good. Avoid the steaks as they can't seem to get it right. I ordered a medium rare closer to rare and was given medium well, I sent it back, then it came out rare/blue... Not wanting to send it back again I just left it. When the waiter came to ask me how the steak was I said it's okay, then he says next time you need to order rare not medium rare, the first steak was medium rare as you ordered ... It clearly wasn't. To cook it wrong then have the audacity to say that I ordered my steak wrong was pathetic. I order steaks at all the restaurants I visit and I know what medium rare steak looks like.
K.
A Sofia branch, like many others. Food is on par with other Sofia outlets, generous portions as usual. Spacious more so than some other venues. Went here in a group of 18 or so, had one doubled order but was otherwise great - food came fairly quickly. Be prepared as there are no split bills. Staff maybe not as jovial as some other Sofia joints but still decent service overall.
J. H.
Bit disappointed. If your idea of a Pollo Funghi is adding 5 small pieces of roughly chopped chicken and then smashing the rest of the dish with nothing but pasta, probs should re-evaluate your food, cause that was a trash dinner.
D. Z.
best mexcian pizza and seafood resottos
T. S.
Always quick, always tasty, always convenient
A. S.
Good nice food but be sure about quanetity.....they serve alot
L. G.
Great quality food at an affordable price for the large quantity of food. Pizzas are cooked to perfection, the pastas are always delicious. The garlic bread is a winner, as are the wedges and the seafood is fresh. Service is some times a bit slow, but they're always nice and the food makes up for it.
J. B.
We did a small family get together at this restaurant in Jan and we are a group of around 12 cousins. The place has a nice location and ample parking. We tried the set party menu and despite some of us ordering vegetarian and others non vegetarian, we still got a decent variety of pizza and pastas on the table. All the food tasted nice and was well presented. The set menu also included garlic bread which was served with cheese but seemed to be plain bread and did not really taste like garlic bread, although it was quite decent nonetheless. They served us gelati to close the meal and all the flavors were liked by everyone. The portions are quite big and even though we ordered only single serves, we ended up with quite a bit of leftovers. Overall we enjoyed our evening and the service and food definitely added to it.
P. W.
This pasta house is still as busy as ever. Their seafood marinara is superb and everything on it tasted fresh, That's including the shrimps, muscles, salmon. cheese and everything else. That went well with a glass of lemonade. White wine. no can do for me. For now that is but I'm sure the marinara will even taste great with a white. Overall, the service was good. A bit of a wait for our order to come but I'll consider that it was an extremely busy day when we came. Thumbs up!
T. C.
Fabulous service and wonderful atmosphere...waiting for the next visit as portions are nice and large, very easy to entertain.
Y. A.
It was good.. their meal serving is massive.
A. M.
Food is absolutely delicious, one of the best Italian cuisine in Melbourne one can have.
Service is brilliant and the quantity per serve is amazing
Natalie is amazing in serving 👌👌
C. S.
The steak was good but the pasta and fish is normal nothing special

Wonderful place to have delicious pizzas!

Every year our family birthday or mother day and father day will go to this restaurant. I have eaten for more than 20 years . This Italian restaurant is simply amazing. The food is delicious and the service is kind. I recommend seafood noodles. I give a hundred points of praise.
H. M. C.
i love the food! if only i have enough space in my tummy, i would have eaten more. 😁
D. S.
My friend and I went on a warm and bright winter weekday... and the place was just perfect for a peaceful meal. Not much crowded, people enjoying a quiet meal in spacious well lit setting. We ordered vegetarian - pasta and pizza. Food tasted good and was presented well. We made wrong assumptions about the portion size so cldnt finish. Had the option tk box it though. Server was polite and patient. Overall nice experience for a family meal/drinks.
N. P.
Large portions, reasonable prices. Food quality about what you would expect for the price. Such a large building, shame they don't use it. Always pack everyone into one end so there's no room to move. Have to crawl over strangers to get to your seat. Tables are just too close together.
A. A.
Superb taste and generous serving sizes. Excellent for large groups. Quick service. Pesto gnocchi is must try!
M. N.
Always good food and quick meals. We share 3 large meals for 4 adults and a toddler (3yo) and still get leftovers! The only problem I feel is being packed in like sardines. The place is huge and seats hundreds, but they pack all in one side and sometimes we end up in a dead service zone as they can't see us behind the fish tank or other obstructions.
But the food value and quality is always reliable and good for $$ you spend. We go every couple/few months.
N. A.
Amazing food at a reasonable price! A very warm and welcoming environment, fancy decor and comfy seating arrangement. There are multiple areas to accommodate large/small groups and even organise gatherings or parties etc. The food portions are generous and justify the prices, there's a good variety of Italian food and it is cooked to perfection. Serving and preparation time is surprisingly good. Easy access from Burwood Highway and ample parking options! A must go place :)
E. E.
Handled a table of around 40 where people were arriving all over the place pretty well.
HUGE portions (double the average size) so very good value for money, could probably save themselves some money by making them smaller because hardly anyone finished.
I had chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce, it was delicious.
Home made nuggets for the kids too, not processed ones.
Small wine selection but what they had was very good.
Kids also loved the playground.
Thanks from Adelaide :-)
R. G.
Food good.. And excellent size serves. Service.... Ordinary.
J. T.
Always the go to place. Best value for money Italian restaurant I've ever experienced. Extremely large portions for such a reasonable price. Others may criticise the quality but in my opinion this place doesn't comprise on quality based on their cheaper prices.
l. c.
Very generous serve, all in all wore happy
O. B.
Dinner was great as usual. Service was attentive and promt.We have been coming here for years and have always had great food and service.Would and do recommend to one and all.
J. E.
Beautiful food and great staff

Generous portions, great service
T. S.
Went there on a weekend. It was a big social lunch attended by 10 families. We occupied ten tables. The service was good. Despite the big crowd, the staff at Sofia Burwood was prompt and courteous to take our order. The food serve size was really big (good value for money in this aspect). However, the food taste was not satisfactory. It was too bland. I went to Sofia at Frankston. In comparison, the food quality and taste was so much better (amid smaller size).
J. R.
We love this place, it's cheap for a family and service is good. It can get really busy but lunch is less busy. Love the playground for the kids.
K. W.
Loved it! The staff are so friendly! The food tastes great and nice atmosphere.
M. S.
Sofia's is one of those places that never really changes. Over sized serves of Italian - quality is average, but it's great for large groups especially children and sharing.
Most of it comes down to pizzas and pasta - pizzas are better, the pastas can be bland depending which are ordered. The spiral pesto is a favourite, and there are lots of vegetarian options. The gelato is also popular, with a large sharing cup with all the flavours. Again, great for kids - usually lots to takeaway for the next day or two.

We had an issue with our food and they fixed it immediately!! Super duper friendly and gave as complimentary icecream! Would 100% go back regardless of their little error :)
M. A.
The location is great, staff is amazing and the menu is excellent. The serving is generous, it is enough for two.
The environment is great, and service is excellent.
There is play area for kids too, that helps to keep kids busy.
They also have good choice of deserts. The icecream is a must try.
A lot of seating and parking available, so one gets parking and table even if its crowded. The service is also very quick regardless of the crowd in the restaurant.
P. L.
Great spot for a family meal, noisy kids are tolerated, and quieter groups won't be disturbed. There's a pretty fish tank and a playground. Staff are mostly quick and efficient. Potions are almost comically huge, and boxes for leftovers are handed out freely. The prices are quite reasonable for tasty, unpretentious food.

My husband and me celebrated ours birthday lunch there today, food was hot, portations were huge, great service, team is very friendly. Its hard to cater for a large family but everyone came out saying how great this restaurant was and how good the food was, there was no complaints. Our table got offered a complimentary small glass of port for the adults and so did everyone one else in the restaurant, l don’t think l have ever been to such a good restaurant. We also got a bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate our birthday this evening.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Management and staff for there service today, l would recommend this restaurant and definitely return there again. Thanks again.

amazing location for italian meal ☺️
C. B.
Serves are still huge, sauces are less of. Pizza's were better this time. Happy to take the family there for a big feed but the quality has dropped. Perfect for those who care more about quantity and not cleaning up. Always will come back. marina pizza needs more seafood items and less olives. Be back
C. B.
Love the hustle and bustle of this restaurant. Menu is extensive and very generous, with takeaway available if you've over ordered- zap, tomorrow's lunch sorted. Gteat for a large group or a couple . Been running a very successful business for a very long time, don't be left out shuffle down there real soon. YUM !
C. S.
Hands down, one of THE BEST PLACES I've ever been. Nice big space, kids playground, very friendly staff, happy to help with your night. Nothing was too hard. We had a group booking of 20 that grew to 30 on the day, no probs just add a table AND THE BIGGEST MEALS EVER SEEN! Not overpriced, can take leftovers home. Definitely our go to for every family occasion from now on. Highly recommended.
N. B.
Really neat italian place. Large portion sizes offering real value for money and heaps of tables allowing for huge parties, if that's what you want. The menu had a good range of pizza, pasta, salads and desserts. It's a great place to go for basic catch ups with the girls or meeting the parents for the first time.
C. B.
It was a nice meal. One of their better franchise and I'd even say better then the original in Camberwell. The staff was truly nice although they seems rushed off their feet (not their fault) but they were genuinely nice and helpful. Typical over serving of food for price (typical of Sophia's) very tasty and well priced for quantity and quality. The food came out extremely quickly.
A. P.
So thankful to have our first family dinner post-lockdown here. Wonderful food as usual. Serving in large portions. Thank you.
S. C.
Massive portions for an amazing price. Pizza and Pasta are great take-away, but if you are getting seafood or steak best to eat-in. Takeaway service is super speedy. Family friendly environment with play equipment for the little ones.
K. F.
Awesome place to enjoy Italian cuisine. The place is easily accessible and have a good sized parking area and a play area for kids. Sofia serves generous size meals and you might not be able to finish up large meals. Therefore be mindful about that. Same for most desserts too. Meals are great in taste and served nicely. In a case you couldn't finish up and think of taking away the rest, there are food containers on shelves near seating area. We had spaghetti marinara and seafood spaghetti for main and tiramisu for dessert. I would like to try more cuisines there.
N.
If you are looking for informal dining place that offers big portions, it is the perfect place. It is very spaceous and can get quite noisy when the place is full.
If you are looking for that fine dining experience and food quality, this is not the right place for you. Don’t get me wrong the food tastes quite alright but obviously it wouldn’t be “amazing” or “to die for”. Overall for the price you pay it is more for the portion than quality so I would say so definitely don’t over-order.
And it can be quite challenging to get wait staff’s attention once the place is full.
T. A. J. G.
Big serve, taste good, and the food always come out fast.
Got a small playground to distract kids.
Toilet are small and probably the only thing in the shop that I don't like the most but doesn't worth taken off a star for it.
W.
Outstanding service with a smile from Sari tonight - love this place. They always go above and beyond with their service. Thank you for loving to serve your customers so well. Will keep coming back regularly.
R. C.
Pros: Reasonably priced food with good taste. Pizzas are really big and great! Service was very quick, although waiters are hard to find (something every restaurant is guilty of).
Cons: Spaghetti with cream was horrible and tasteless. Garlic bread was big and fragrant but tasteless. The crowds are predominantly Asian/Arabic.
Conclusion: I'd only come here if your budget is limited.
S. H.
Great Pizza on great price. May be a bit of wait time so if you want to pick-up, order 15 minutes before. Good seating arrangement inside and will give you a good vibe.
D. P.
The best value meals I've ever had anywhere. One serving is enough to feed 4 and it's cheaper than you'd find at any other Italian restaurant. The food is also fantastic! Perfect for birthday parties or large get-togethers. I often get take-away from here too.
f. e.
Great food, Quality and Quantity is worth more than $$.
Good location and very vibrant place.
S. B.
First time going to this place with family after hearing about it from father's friends. Booked for 5 people. They were very flexible with our booking (i booked it for 7:30pm, then changed it to 8:00pm, then we ended up arriving late and it was all good with them). Came in and we were seated promptly, waiter was nice and friendly. The wait time for our meals was amazingly short (about 10 to 15 mins), the dinning room was packed so the wait time was more than brilliant. Food proportions were massive! Good for the price! (i am a big guy and even i couldn't finish off my meal!).
All in all it was a pleasant experience, and i would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
g. s.
Great customer service and amazing food.
Since the mandatory shut down Sofia’s adjusted and created meal deals with Free Delivery within 5 KM.
Please Order directly from the WEBSITE or CALL them so you are supporting them directly rather than the large commissions that would go to delivery partners.
N. W.
The food portions are massive, and Amazing.
My favourite restaurant in Melbourne.
The staff are very friendly and make you smile everytime.
The location is also good and the restaurant it self is spacious. They have a playground for kids as well.
L. R.
This is an amazing family restaurant. Great value for money. The service is amazing. The staff incredibly lovely and extremely efficient. The presentation is wonderful, both the restaurant and the meals. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, with or without kids.
C. W.
My order through DoorDash was cancelled for no reason and Sofia's Burwood called me personally to let me know what was going on as well as offered a solution where they could deliver via their own drivers.
The order was actually cheaper ordering through Sofia's themselves as well and I got pleasantly surprised with some complimentary gelato from them!
Will definitely be ordering from them again through their own website! 100% recommend. Lady on the phone was super sweet, I regret not asking her name!
J. W.
I do spend some times here every now and then.
Keep coming back because of the food portion was huge, and price was good. Most of the time the taste is alright too.
Big place with big tables, best for gathering of few people. Since it is a busy restaurant with many people talking/shouting, we couldn't hear each other when we came in two of us.
Will be back though.
Food: 7
Service: 4
Vibe: 3

Sofia is definitely one of the best and tastiest restaurants I have ever been. All the great cuisine from Italy and the rest of Europe can be found here. My best friends and me have been there a couple of times, and we believe that every time gets better and better. You can find all the mixes imaginable. Seafood mix, veggie mix, pizza mix, etc. But indeed the best moment to go to Sofia is with your friends and family, that's the only way you can really experience the full wonder of this incredible restaurant.
If you allow me to make a recommendation, I would say that Spaghetti Marinara is one of the best choices of the menu. Just remember to order large dish, because for great appetites, small dishes are not enough's.
Go to Sofia Burwood. You will not regret it tomorrow. 👍
N. G.
5 star for service, seating capacity, size of the serving and the parking capacity.
4 star for the food. Have tasted better italian esp pizzas.
Rated 5, but would actually rate it 4.5 if that was an option.
We have been to this place couple of times in last 1 year and found the food to be tasty and consistent. On both occasions our food was served well in time even though the place was super busy. Spacious, kids love it. Esp the outdoor play area.
Sadly, they don't serve the mocktails.
C. C.
Two words. Huge portions. Pretty tasty and iconic place in Melbourne to eat. Definitely don't order too much at one go. Service is good, certain staff are friendly and helpful.
R. S.
Good prices and wide variety of options in the menu. Service was good and our food came quickly.
A. H.
Huge servings. Ok pizza. Service ok if you can wave down a waiter/ waitress.
A. C.
Perhaps I dropped by on an off day. Waiters seem stressed and unhappy, food didn't taste great (one of the sauces tasted like some cheap ones you buy from supermarkets), but the portion sizes are good.
a. i.
Great place to go and eat very clean the people that work there are fantastic portion size of meals is great
Y. W.
Good pizza. Very spacious restaurant with kids facility.
T. M.
$35 for a large pizza and pasta. The pasta is piping hot and on the table in 4 minutes. The pizza can’t fit in the table, it’s so big. They give us a pizza box without us asking. I’m so full that I can’t even consider eating another bite, yet we still walk out with half of our food as takeaway and it’s still amazing the next day.
I can’t think of any other place like Sofia.
B.
Should say one of the best places I have dinein it. The service is wonderful. The workers are polite with clean attires. We were a big group of 8 people went there and even kids really enjoyed their food. The stuff kept coming and asking if we need anything , eventhough it was full packed, Saturday night. Very friendly staff and very family friendly area.The dishes were all generous size. Our orders came fairly quick and food was really good. Kids all finished, tried to finished because of sizes of dishes, their food which knowimg kids can be picky with food it means thumbs up for me. Very pleasent experience and we will definitely go back there.
Z. B.
Great food, friendly and clean atmosphere and helpful staff
M. N.
Great friendly people. Desserts were delicious, rich and in huge serves! Pizza didn't have that yucky burnt crust that you sometimes get on pizza we're the topping doesn't go all the way to the edge. The toppings were delicious! A great place to catch up with a large group or family. Got a candle in my friends cake for her birthday! Did I mention the amazing people and service?
8 out of 10. Would recommend to a friend!
- theres no q in Kew
L. L.
Delicious! Nice environment!
j. s.
Been coming here with my family for a few years now. Great place to go for traditional italian cuisine. Food has always been consistent and they are very generous with there portion sizes. Staff are quite friendly and always happy to help. Would definitely recommend it to family's on a budget.
S. K.
Good values, fast friendly service
C. F.
Tasty food and good service, only critique is possibly more toppings on pizzas
P. F.
This is my best restaurant. Big food. Too good for money. With Sofia you can’t get it wrong.
S. F.
Really cheap meals and the serves are huge! Very good value for money. Not a fancy dinner out but a nice place to go with friends or a group with a casual environment.
I. M.
The best family restaurant!
Friendly stuffs, huge serves, yummy foods, awesome pizzas, unforgettable garlic bread, playground and more! Absolutely recommended!
Y. T.
I like their chicken Caesar salad. Good amount with great price. The staff are friendly.
A.
Large portions, meant to share. Family style/group dining set up, probably not so couple-friendly. Not for those on a date. If you want to pig out with family/friends/kids, here's the place to go to. As it is a large restaurant, don't expect a personal waiter service. Hey, that's why it's more a group thing and most are too busy socializing to notice that anyway. Even so, its not bad really. Food itself tastes ok, have been here 3 times so far and haven't had a yucky meal yet...but haven't gone through the whole menu yet.
K. A.
Takeaway portions are big! Ordered Deal 5 and it fed 4 of us nicely. Both pizza and pasta were very fresh. Definitely coming back :)
M. S.
Food was good. Waiter was awesome. No issues from waiter or chefs to make a modification to a menu item.
B. Z.
I feel like the quality has remained similar but portions have gotten smaller. Personally think over the years, Sofia went from huge portions and okay service, to medium portions and poor service, and now finally, medium portions and okay service.
Overall, not bad.
h. T.
Love the pizza n pasta. Great tasty food at very reasonable cost
L.
Good price and fresh ingredients!
S. A.
Great atmosphere, outside play area for kids.
Food was amazing, it was so good we forgot to take photos!
S. E.
Meals are huge. Small pasta was enough to feed 2. Mixed fried seafood was ok although calamari did not taste as cooked through. Overall good
D. L.
An excellent place for dinner. Prices were fair and the serving sizes were huge! Just be aware they are extremely busy during service so it may be a while for the food to come out, but I would definately come here again.
C. T.
Love <3 this place, been going for years. Dinner & beers, yum! Online delivery from their website is highly recommended vs uber / menulog etc.
M. Y.
Went there for a friend's graduation celebration and party. Food was very mediocre. Pizzas were greasy and sinful, pastas were not too bad but not great. Average, good for big functions as it can serve many people.
B. “. D. U. K.
Kid-friendly/family-friendly ambience. Parking available. I asked if there were any vegan options and they said they'd get back to me and never did. So thumbs-down for accommodating dietary requirements.
A. S.
This resturant has excellent food and good take away survice, polite and quick. I recomment it.
A. M.
One entree serves 3. Do not underestimate the serving sizes as this place is value for money multiplied by 4. Friendly atmosphere though management is a little on the rough side with their own employees and this shows.
Don't let that discourage you, this place is still an excellent place to get dinner (and lunch for the following day) for the price of a single entree.
M. E.
Always a great time with friends. Great customer service and large portions
L. C.
Great Father's Day had by all, super service. Super size meals was great you can take them home if you can't finish it.
D. T.
Family buisness with a family environment. Quality and great tasting food. Very pleasant owner who is always there to greet everyone with a smile and make you feel welcomed amd comfortable. Family loves coming here, and staff are excellent and very professional. Highly recommended. Come onw come all!!

Good food, affordable price and friendly staff... not more... not less... note: I really like eat ice cream here but one of my friend doesn't like their ice cream. If you order ice cream please tell me what you think about it...
T. N. T.
Lovely family restaurant all dishes supper big and so delicious for greatest value we love it ,,,
A. U.
Well i ordered hawain pizza and cheesy garlic bread. Pizza was good but the cheese quantity on the garlic bread was bad. On top of it, the customer service from staff was pathetic but the manager seemed to be cooperative. Were told not to compare to other branches because this is sophia burwood not camberwell.
S. M.
I have enjoyed being here as they not only make good food but they have quite a few options. The area is huge and there is a play area for the kids outside. The staff is courteous and friendly.
H. H.
Have been coming to this restaurant for years. Always satisfy my cravings for good wholesome Italian food. Big servings, great customer service, definitely one of our family's favourite places to go.
R. S.
This place is good for a crowd. Big servings.
C. C.
Sofias delivers massive meals of average quality for a great price. If you go in knowing what to expect in this regard you won't be disappointed. If I was to rate sofia's versus 5 star restaurants it would get a 1 but that isn't fair. It doesn't pretend to be any more than what I described. So if you want a massive plate of pasta or giant schnitzel or an ok pizza all for a great price then take the family here. As a bonus it doesn't get overcrowded and post like many other places.
B. B.
Best food and the staff do a great job 🙂 we travel from Geelong to Burwood for lunch 🙂 we couldn't go last year because of the covid virus.
J. p.
Thisbplace is a massive foodhole and the vibe feels like the place is meant for truckers, maybe that's mostly because of the location. Don't expect the food to taste authentic italian even though the manager seems italian by descent. What is a pro here is the portion size, it's ginormous.
I. F.
Ah Sofia's. A place that will always hold a spot in my heart. Even in my darkest hour, the promise of Sofias carbonara with gnocci pasta or a chicken parma the size of my head gives me the hope I need. This is ultimate comfort food, great selection, fast service and a homey atmosphere. thankyou sofias for keeping me fed through-out my uni years and beyond!
D. R.
Great food served super fast. Family friendly restaurant.
E. H.
Great food, good services
C. Y.
Plumb fantastic food.
Great venue for a couple or an entire family & friends to enjoy good food and each other's company.
Servings are excellent (huge!), quality of the food I can't falter and the staff are great.
C. R.
Service is quick and servings are generous. Good value for family meal.
日.
This is my favourite restaurant. I honestly love it. There's lots of plant life, an out door playground for little kids, and YOU HAVE TO GET THE PIZZA. Only thing is, it's kinda difficult getting out of the car park.
A. K.
value meals, great for big groups and families... friendly and fast service always, highly recommended if you are looking to snuggle with warm pasta and pasta... o yea, they also have kids playground at the back
S. C.
I had my 21st Birthday Dinner Party there and I LOVED IT! The waiters were so kind and helpful with everything especially having a big group of 44 guests. All my guests enjoyed themselves, not worrying about food orders and the waiters were very professional!
Not to mention, the manager of Burwood Sofia was SOOOO generous, he gave me( birthday girl) and my partner a bottle of wine to thank you us for having my party at their Sofia restaurant. We both did not expect that at all!
I certainly do recommend parties or general dining at Burwood Sofia!
M.
Very large average meals. If you don't like being packed in like a sardine I wouldn't recommend it. Very casual, more of a very cheap family's and events place.
J. M.
Good selection of food, large portions, can sometimes be a little busy or noisy but that isn't a bad thing. Food quite tasty.
G.
Really nice food, generous servings and great service..

Practically grew up at this restaurant, at first it was the old Smorgys all you can eat. Staff here are like family to me they are always loving to others. Golden star!
A. S.
The steak was great, service was super awesome and fast, faster than any restaurant i have ever been in. Very friendly staff, and they were quite responsive. I would recommend their Gelato for desert, it is exquisite and so yummy.
C. T. L.
Very spacious, never need to wait long for seats, even though so many people there. Food very delicious. Very big portion and not high priced. It's ideal for family or friend gathering.
E. E.
Good pricing for great pizza, I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
N. E.
YUM. Amazing pastas. To die for desserts
R. F.
The food was amazing and the portions are very large. Friendly staff and environment. Good place to go for small parties with family/friends. Would definitely go again :)
K. S.
Good food and huge portions. They have a massive sitting area but their seating arrangement makes it look crammed. No negatives otherwise.
M. H.
Such good food. Make sure you go there hungry because their serving sizes are huge! Easily have left overs for lunch the next day.
M. R.
Nice big place for ambience. We ate gluten free pizza that was good. The quinoa salad had only a little quinoa but mostly lettuce etc. And too much oily dressing.
M. W.
We always love to have a meal here and it is particularly good for large groups. The food is enjoyed by all and the staff is friendly and accomodating.
S. L.
Food comes in very large portions but the Carbonara I had was kind of bland. However food comes out very quickly and service is equally quick.
A. W.
Really gone down hill smaller portion sizes food not as good as it used to be. And wasnt to happy with the fact they got annoyed with us because we wanted to split pay what restaurant doant split pay
C. B.
Great cheap food, busy as usually a good sign. Service was fast and efficient, serving size generous. Not the best food but quality was good.
C. Y.
Super friendly service and portions are generous as always. Bring your empty bellies here!
L. C.
Excellent service. Do not buy one plate per person as the dishes are big in quantity, even the small dish. Good choice of food. Pre book on Fridays and Saturdays as the place gets full.
C. W.
Always so delicious and never fails to disappoint! Food comes quickly and staff are all very friendly. I strongly suggest!
P. M.
My favourite restaurant!! Everything taste great here and the portion is large. You get what you paid for!
M. L.
The food was good but not as good as I expected. But that may be just my personal taste. On the upside, the portions were huge. Very good service.
E.
Massive food portion sizes, at reasonable prices. Great for those occasions when you have many people and wanting to find a place to eat at. Service can be a bit hit and miss.
C. C.
Huge portions of delicious Italian cuisine, amazingly friendly staff. Perfect family restaurant
S. F. C.
If you are going for informal dining for pizza and pasta with famiy and friends, it is perfectly alright. It is spaceous, not suited for intimate dine out experience in such noisy ambience.
If you are a fussy eater looking for quality gourmet pizza and pasta, this is not the right place to spend your money on. Obviously, I am probably a bit critical when I let my taste buds do the "talking".
It is always very busy on weekends, and trying to find an on site carpark can be challenging.
Well, it is courses for horses.
M. H.
Sofias has made my week! Natalie and the team at Sofias Burwood always go above and beyond to ensure the best customer experience every time! and the food.....oh my absolutely amazing! the pasta & pizza (not to mention the tiramisu) is not only affordable but delicious. 11/10 stars~!
C. J.
Well be aware of the quantity. A single dish can sometime serve 2 depending upon how much hungry you are. Good flavoured food
T. T.
Very big restaurant. Great range of options. My friend recommended daily fish but it was bad. Ignored by waiters many times.

Okay for large family with kids. I think everyone know you not expecting a fine dining experience for the price. Quantity is large which is great for sharing.

Good for big casual Italian food with big serves to share

I have tried few times. Happy with food, portion, price! I love their Hazelnut chocolate cake! Agree that sometimes cutlery were not clean!

Brilliant value and huge portions. Always a good atmosphere here. Just bear in mind that they don't accept more than one card for split payments
C. A.
A wonderful,authentic Italian restaurant,with great servings for family and groups to enjoy for any occasion!

Not the best food, but massive serving sizes and great value. Staff are not the most welcoming but you ain't caring with value like this.

It's ok, quality is not consistent depending on the cook. Some day it is good, some day I can only found some bacons in the sea of dry spaghetti. So roll the dice fellas!
K. S.
Huge portions at reasonable prices. Good service by Rocco and food very tasty and well prepared. Repeat customer and happy to think about my next visit.
Y. D.
Great quality pizza for modest price. Takeaway is recommended as eat in is a lot more expensive.
C. N.
Was busy but plenty of staff. Service was great. Pizza not the best. The final topping was cheese. Too much as you could not see any other topping on a Quattro Gusti.
R. H.
As I was passing by, I came into sofias in Burwood and was impressed by the service and a delicious and large meal. I had an awesome chilli prawns for entreand very nicely cooked scotch fillet with a very nice sauce, took my leftover for dinner, will be back for sure, the friendly service and nice meals and wow the sizes, its hard to resist.

Same old Sofia without the packed-in tables. I walked out with lunch for tomorrow and a very contented feeling of fullness. Good value

Cheap, tasty and affordable food that comes in massive portions. Large dining area that is reasonably clean, service is quick and plenty of car parking spots when not busy.

Food was and always is fantastic and value for money. Staff are awesome and very friendly. Love coming here with friends and family. Great atmosphere.
T. R.
Grotesquely odd to have generic Italian food in a venue that looks like a Polynesian barn. it's so ugly it's dystopian, set in the barren wastelands of suburban sprawl. However the service is very friendly, the food is far from poisonous and parking is easy. very bizarre, it's almost Tarantino banal. Everything is so out of place it's impossible to imagine.
W. “. D. W. G.
Food tastes good. The boss is a nice old gentlemen. Perfect place for a family dinner. Kids friendly. It is not a place for a fency dinner, but perfect for a family catch up.
G. T.
Highly Recommend. Great Food (& lots of it). If you don't finish it (which you probably won't)/- you can take away...😋 Delicious

A family-run restaurant with friendly and attentive staff, generous food portions, and value for money. Great for a casual family meal!

Service was great even on busy fathers day night, generous portion size . Should have given 5 stars , but 1 star is for flavour in the food.. which is not there.

Great food! Huge servings so be hungry when you eat here.

Prices have definitely getting dearer while the quality remains quite the same. Portion of Caesar salad seemed to have become smaller compared to the Camberwell outlet.

Gear family restaurant. Huge size of dishes. Even a kid size spaghetti is more than enough for an adult.

Good food, well priced and the portions are huge. I've mainly had the pasta, which is really nice.

For the price and portion...why do people complain about decor, service etc... just go somewhere else if u are so rich... perfect place for my family...kids easily have their fill... love their fish of the day...speg marinara..so many prawns and scallops u cannot get elsewhere..

As far as Sofias goes, you cant fault them. Food is good. Service is good. I'd love it if tje bar didn't abuse the service bell so much though. Gives me hospitality ptsd.

Insanely large servings for reasonable prices in an ear shatteringly loud environment. BRING PLASTIC FOOD CONTAINERS!!! You WILL have leftovers.

Sofia's is the best of Italian. They always serve too much, but that's half the fun. Their service is friendly and efficient. Sofia is always a safe choice.

T. H.
Popular for us, Asian family for Italian cuisine. Large portion so take a box if you don't really mind be yourself.

Always left feeling full. Great options for food, you name it, they got it. Come minutes earlier than dinner time on weekends or be prepapred to wait more minutes in queue
J. S.
Great for families and for children place ground as well. Reasonable prices and massive dishes as well
J. S.
Portions are nice and big. But quality is low. Service can be hit and miss depending on if staff like you hahaa
J. F.
Food quality reflects the price, large portions but don't expect gourmet fare
P. C.
This is a hidden gem. Can't get over how great their service, food and location were. It's definitely a new favourite
Y. S.
Good food, but I had to ring the shop to get some table service! Probably too busy that day and no one could see a 14 people table needing some service I guess
b. k.
