A Slice of Sicily in Kensington: Trattoria da Sofia Brings Italian Magic to Adams Avenue
We’ve got a new spot in town that’s serving up some serious Italian vibes, and we’re all about it. Trattoria da Sofia has swung open its doors on Adams Avenue, turning Kensington into a little pocket of Sicily right here in San Diego.
This isn’t just another Italian joint—it’s like stepping into your Italian nonna’s villa, if your nonna had a killer wine list and a flair for interior design. The place is decked out to make you feel like you’ve jet-set to Italy without leaving the 619.
From Pasta to Prosecco: A Feast for All Senses
Let’s talk food, because that’s what we’re all here for, right? Trattoria da Sofia isn’t messing around.
We’re talking fresh pasta made daily (yes, you read that right—every single day), local seafood that’ll make you wonder why you don’t eat fish more often, and shareable plates that’ll have you fighting your dinner date for the last bite.
But the real showstopper? Their tableside tiramisu. Watching it being whipped up right in front of you is almost as satisfying as eating it. Almost.
And let’s not forget the drinks. Their wine list reads like a love letter to Italian vineyards, and the cocktails? Let’s just say you might find yourself ordering a second round before you’ve finished your first.
Your New Favorite Dinner Party
What we love most about Trattoria da Sofia is how it feels like one big, fabulous Italian dinner party. Whether you’re cozied up inside, soaking up the sun on their patio, or living it up in the private dining room, you’re in for a treat.
The owners, including Andrea Carbonaro, have poured their hearts into this place, and it shows. They’re all about making you feel like part of the family—a very well-fed family.
See you there!
So, grab your friends, your family, heck, grab your neighbor’s cousin’s dog-walker, and head over to 4055 Adams Avenue. Trattoria da Sofia is open daily from 4 PM to 9 PM.
Just be sure to bring your appetite and maybe some stretch pants. Trust us, you’re gonna need ’em.
