Regina Sofia

story

Who we are

The name Queen Sofia was born one fine day when in our family restaurant, where we cooked only fish, we received an unexpected visit from the actress Sophia Loren. The actress asked us to accompany the ordered dish with a pizza focaccia and, since we did not have a wood-fired oven, we ordered a focaccia in a nearby pizzeria. She ate it but realized the deception and with a joke she told us: "O Napulitan se fa sicc ma nun mor" and smiled. We replied: "We will open a restaurant with a wood-burning oven and we will call it Queen Sofia!".

The Regina Sofia restaurant-pizzeria was born in Bologna from the idea of a group of young entrepreneurs from the South to revive, in the Emilian capital, all the flavor of the best Neapolitan cuisine. Inspired by the values that embody the Campania tradition and enriched by the unmistakable taste of the best local ingredients, all the dishes of the Regina Sofia restaurant in Bologna represent a triumph of flavors and aromas.

About us

Reviews

"Restaurant in a quiet street of Bologna, easy to reach. The staff is very courteous and thorough in recommending the courses. The very nice chef takes the time to briefly explain his dishes, making sure that they are to the customers' liking. We tried an appetizer and a first course each, excellent quality, both of ingredients and preparation. The dessert, in turn artisanal, was delicious and the chef even brought us samples of other desserts so that we didn't miss anything. I was impressed, as well as by the quality, courtesy and kindness shown, which are increasingly rare today. It is a place where you spend from 20 euros upwards, but I absolutely recommend it if you want to enjoy good dishes in a quiet and relaxed environment."

"I already knew this place from excellent previous experiences, but only for pizza. For some time working in the historic center of Bologna, I approached him during my lunch break. I believe that the excellent experiences of other customers must absolutely be shared as I have had the opportunity to taste other dishes, especially fish-based. We are talking about an excellent base made of excellent raw materials, and not to be underestimated cooked with experience and passion. So they are five stars absolutely deserved both from the point of view of quality, and excellent value for money, which let's not forget when we talk about fish must be suspicious if too low. The only hope is that you will continue like this. A customer of yours for lunch break."

"A great, almost perfect experience in this place. All very good and top quality, The staff very friendly and welcoming. I ordered simple pizzas and a typical Neapolitan appetizer, as you can see in the photo. Perfect food, perfect place, nice environment. The only flaw is that some tables are wobbly because the bricks of the street are not great. Well done guys, keep it up!"
