Sophia's Italian Ristorante Review

If I didn't tell you that Sophia's is one of the best restaurants in southern Arizona and should not be missed, you might never give this place a second glance. It's in a nondescript strip mall in the middle of Sierra Vista and is easily overlooked, but the meals served here are unforgettable. You should be sure to start with the house-made mozzarella rolled around basil and tomatoes, and be sure to keep an eye out for any dish with whipped goat cheese (yum!). The lobster ravioli with creamy pistachio pesto is a good bet as is the seared sea bass with leek-potato puree. Sophia's could hold its own in Tucson or Scottsdale and feels like a genuine discovery.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
