Sofalino is a family run Italian restaurant on Whetstone High Road, established in 2011. The menu is built around recognisable regional recipes, generous hospitality and the kind of broad choice that makes the dining room suitable for families, couples and groups. Traditional flavours lead the way, supported by a relaxed setting and friendly neighbourhood service.
Antipasti range from small nibbles to substantial sharing plates. Olives and pizza bread can begin a casual meal, while king prawns cooked with garlic, white wine and butter, calamari, chicken liver pâté, arancini and baked parmigiana offer richer choices. Cured meats with mozzarella, grilled vegetables and a fresh tricolore salad are well suited to sharing across the table.
Pasta and risotto form a large part of the menu, including linguine with prawns, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, gnocchi Sorrentina, lasagne, Bolognese and mushroom risotto scented with truffle. Pizza runs from Margherita and Napoli to Calabrese, four seasons, Parma ham and a folded calzone. Main dishes add ribeye steak, veal Marsala, veal Milanese, chicken pizzaiola, sea bass and salmon.
Traditional desserts and ice cream make an easy finish, whether the meal has centred on pizza or a full sequence of courses. Italian wine, beer, coffee and soft drinks complete the experience and give diners plenty of ways to match their meal. Sofalino’s varied menu and family minded approach make it a dependable local choice for both simple suppers and celebratory dinners.
