Located in the popular Marina Commercial restaurant district of Puerto Aventuras and overlooking the always fun and exciting Dolphin Discovery Riviera Maya habitat, Casa Sofia brings a quaint little bit of Italy and a whole lot of delicious Italian cuisine to this fantastic beachside community. Just steps from the perfect white sand beach and Puerto Aventuras Beach Club, Casa Sofia does not disappoint in delivering excellent service, very reasonable prices, and a wonderfully diverse menu chock-full of perfectly executed dishes. Despite being one of the most popular restaurants in the district, they were able to accommodate our party of 15 with fairly minimal lead time (with a reservation). Though walk-ins for smaller groups of up to 4-5 were easily seated, to be safe and to avoid any delays I would recommend reaching out and making a reservation. The thin-crust neopolitan pizzas are outstanding, and are our go-to whenever we’re in the area (the margherita, capricciosa, Mexican, diavola, and carnivore are all highly recommended, and I’m sure the rest of the offerings are equally fantastic). The lasagnas (the meat, mushroom and cheese, and vegetarian) are all delicious. The salmon, black & white lobster, shrimp & scallion, artisanal wild mushroom and angus arrachera ravioli are all outstanding. The Mediterranean salmon in a tomato, olive and caper sauce served with potatoes was a revelation. From the pasta offerings, the puttanesca, amatriciana, correntina, montanara, boscaiola, pesto basilico, carbonara and mari e monti were all excellent. Quick, friendly, efficient and informative service with helpful suggestions and flexibility in accommodating dietary-restriction substitutions. Coupled with a wide range of beverages, starters, salads, and non-pasta or pizza entrées make this a restaurant experience that will not disappoint. That being said, the crusty Italian bread provided with the meal and as an informal starter with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar was a little inconsistent - make sure to ask them to toast it for you. All in all, wonderful - and definitely scratches any Italian cravings you might have. Highly...
Read moreThis s our last night, and we found a fantastic Italian Restaurant right next door. Casa Sofia in Puerto Aventuras, is very good. Pleasant hostess, happy staff, excellent Recipes, huge variety on the menu, and a fantastic Chef!
The whole operation was well put together, from start to finish.
What we have found so far in Puerto Aventuras, is that there are a lot of mixed menus here. Kinda like a cheesecake factory, BJ's, TGI Fridays in Las Vegas.
Not so at Casa Sofia's. They do Pasta and Gnocchi, and other Italian dishes. They do it really well!
We started with Burratta salad, and Calamari of course and a bottle of (Italian Pinot Grigio)
I had the Shrimp stuffed pasta (ravioli) with a creamy seafood sauce. (They have dozens if not hundreds of combinations, but the servers can help you choose, and they have some recommendations already suggested on the menu.)
Definitely a 5-star review for this cool little Caribbean spot in Mexico.
My wife had 3 Medallions cooked perfect to her desired temperature with a side of cheese and spinach ravioli with a mushroom cheese sauce. It was excellent.
Staying true to your product is really important in my opinion, these folks have it down!!!
No French onion soup, no burritos, no sushi, just fantastic Italian food. ( ps. There are some very good Mexican restaurants here too, of course and the fresh fish ceviche is...
