When the team behind popular CBD restaurant Part Time Lover saw prime Hutt Street real estate and a gap in the market, they went for it. And Sofia is the breath of fresh air Adelaide needed, especially for relaxed dining dates full of flexibility. The fun Mediterranean bistro is open daily, till late, and rocks a menu split in two that celebrates European grazing culture. On the left, a meze-stye selection of approximately 20 dishes, starring puffy flatbread begging to be dipped in shells once home to plump scallops in garlic butter, or the tomatoey chilli oil beneath chunky grilled octopus. On the right, a triumphant “two-sheet” lasagne with wagyu ragù alla Bologna and meat-driven mains that let the dual-fuel oven talk. Indeed, the buzz is audible and alive at this newcomer – and a drinks list heavy on Spritzes as well as South Australian and coastal European wines only enhances the convivial spirit.
