About Us

Our Story

Located in Northern New Jersey, Sofia defies expectations for both dining and nightlife in the area In the heart of downtown Englewood, Sofia offers dry-aged USDA PRIME steak cooked to your desired perfection, seafood flown in daily, house-made pasta and authentic modern Italian dishes, created using local and seasonal ingredients — many cooked in a wood-burning oven. An extensive wine list and craft beer selection are companions to equally impressive cocktails — each seasonally driven with mixology-crafted precision and ingredients. 

The two-story space has been transformed into a bright, chic dining & nightlife destination — where DJs and live music are regularly featured. Natural light floods the front with it's floor-to-ceiling windows and the garden room — accented with a retractable roof — is perfect for events large or intimate all year round. Outdoor dining is also a pleasure, with the private backyard patio or sidewalk alfresco seating — both heated in case the temperature drops. And don’t forget all-day valet service, providing a completely frictionless guest experience.

Formerly known as Smoke Chophouse, Sofia continues to hold one of NJ’s few indoor smoking licenses — with smoking allowed only in it’s state-of-art ventilated speakeasy-style cigar lounge and bar, completely separate from it’s main dining room.
