About Sofia

Hutt Street’s loud Mediterranean dining room pairs smoky wood-fired plates with blistering, salt-crusted puff bread pulled straight from the hearth. Crowd energy runs high—elbow-to-elbow tables and decibels to match—while the kitchen turns out charred octopus, whipped hummus, and plates of baked lobster rigatoni. Regulars lean toward the $49 lunchtime feed me spread on the sunlit patio, backed by thoughtful zero-proof cocktails and bottles of French wine. Service carries genuine warmth, keeping things moving with birthday toasts and effortless table care.

  • Wood-Fired Mediterranean: Signature wood-fired puff bread served piping hot alongside charred octopus, lamb souvas, and rich baked lobster rigatoni.
  • $49 Feed Me Spread: A generous chef's selection sharing banquet offered at lunch, with flexible tweaks for dietary needs.
  • Lively Gathering Spot: Upbeat, high-volume dining space with patio seating and attentive hospitality that accommodates celebrations and group toasts.
