After the vast amounts of casual trattorias, there had to be one "finer" dining experience mixed in. Funnily enough it shares a name with one of Melbourne's least fine Italian family restaurants. I'm not overly ashamed to admit it is one of the classic favourite places for my brother and myself from 10 years ago, with the enormous serves of pasta misto and double sized containers of gelato takeaway.
Rome's Sofia is a far cry different.
- Tartare di tonno agli agrumi e erba cipollina (tuna tartare with grapefruit and chives);
- Tagliatelle fresche alla fantasia di mare (fresh tagliatelle with fruits of the sea);
- Risotto agli agrumi e pesce spada curato (cured swordfish & grapefruit risotto).
