Sosta Caffé

This is a cute little Italian restaurant with very nice lighting and great atmosphere! Their food presentation is not the greatest but the flavor is very good! Their customer service it’s better than their food presentations, Lol! We had an amazing experience here thanks to their staff members! Food was delicious and it would be better if the restaurant managers or owners put a little more effort to their food presentation because everything else was top notch! Walking to the front desk to pick our desserts was something different and add something cute and nice to our experience! Kudos to all staff members for their dedication and commitment to making sure their customers feel welcome and appreciated! Great experience here and I will do it again!

Service and food were amazing! Calamari, bread and mushrooms - prosciutto lasagna were really great. The place looks awesome inside as well.

So we walk in, the lady behind the counter greets us and then walks away. Like what? Another server checked on our reservation and sort of pointed to where we could sit. Luckily for us, we got served by a third person who was friendly and knew about the dishes. The bread was outstanding as was the olive oil. We ordered bruschetta and that was really good. It was missing a little salt but honestly, I’d rather it be needing salt than salty. The vinaigrette reduction complimented the tomatoes on the bruschetta. The fiocchi di pera was tasty. Fresh made pasta with pear inside and in a white Gorgonzola sauce. I added a little salt but again, I’d rather add salt than have a salty dish. They had a big selection of cakes to choose from: Nutella, cheesecake with berries; limoncello tiramisu, etc. The cheesecake by itself was a little dry but whe

Delicious Italian food, incredible desserts, and the warmest, kindest service! Our waitress, Lorenzo made the whole experience feel special. Can’t wait to come back.

If you want to relax and enjoy real Italian tasting food, try this place. Service is very professional, food presentation and taste is exceptionally great, and I mean great. My wife had the chicken parmigiana and had the seafood ciambotta. On the latter, the sauce was exquisite, not too soft and definitely not pasty; the pasta and the seafood... excellent. A taste and flavor found only in the small town local restaurants in Italy. Wine selection is ample and diversified. Bread and desserts, very original and rewarding. Prices are surprisingly affordable for the caliber of the food.

We discovered Sosta Caffe, a charming little Italian spot this weekend, and it was a delightful surprise! The bruschettas and the burrata were absolutely spectacular—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We also tried the gnocchi al pesto and the capricciosa pizza, both bursting with authentic Italian flavor. The service was top-notch—warm, attentive, and welcoming. If you visit, you must try the tiramisu🙏—it’s the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a true taste of Italy in a cozy setting!

Been here twice and the food was great! Went for dinner the first time and lunch for the second time. Both times we were taken care of right away. The fresh bread tasted amazing. The sauces in the Ravioli Dual were a great way to sample the red meat sauce and the Alfredo sauce. Both were great but the Alfredo sauce was preferred. The focaccia romana pizza was overall good. The tiramisu was good but not the best we had. Our server was friendly and helpful.

This restaurant is a must-visit! From the welcoming staff to the delicious food, everything was top-notch. Each dish was perfectly prepared and presented beautifully. The atmosphere was relaxing yet stylish, ideal for a casual dinner or a special night out. The service was prompt, professional, and friendly. I left feeling completely satisfied and impressed. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

This restaurant has the best lasagna in the the area. The desserts are made displayed in the front and fresh. I love the meatballs too.

Sosta Caffe is still one of my favorite Italian restaurants up north!!! Have not been here in a little over a year and the service has improved a bit with quicker service and the food quality is still absolutely amazing! Fresh, delicious, and you can truly taste the authentic Italian flavors. Their desserts, pastas, meatballs, bread, and bruschetta are all made daily! I can imagine everything else to haha. The ambiance feels very cozy like your in little Italy. Highly recommend to anyone who wants some good Italian that's in Pembroke Pines. ^.^

This Italian treasure on Pines boulevard is spectacular. Visited this place for dinner on a Saturday night. We had made reservations but we arrived prior to the time . The staff was very welcoming and accommodated us immediately. While we waited five minutes for our table, Our attention was all caught on the desserts displayed on the counter. They were impressed with the variety and the presentation of these desserts which made it very difficult to chose from during our dinner. Anyway, table service was top notch and to detail. Waitress was very helpful in our choices and must say everything was delicious. This is a wonderful restaurant to visit for a date night or enjoy with family or friends. Great choice!

Today my family was taken care of by Anita and Johan, and they were absolutely wonderful. Both were attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Anita's recommendation was spot on -- we loved it! The food, service, and warm atmosphere at Sosta never disappoint. Definitely one of our favorite spots, and we'll be back again soon!

So we walk in, the lady behind the counter greets us and then walks away. Like what? Another server checked on our reservation and sort of pointed to where we could sit. Luckily for us, we got served by a third person who was friendly and knew about the dishes. The bread was outstanding as was the olive oil. We ordered bruschetta and that was really good. It was missing a little salt but honestly, I'd rather it be needing salt than salty. The vinaigrette reduction complimented the tomatoes on the bruschetta. The fiocchi di pera was tasty. Fresh made pasta with pear inside and in a white Gorgonzola sauce. I added a little salt but again, I'd rather add salt than have a salty dish. They had a big selection of cakes to choose from: Nutella, cheesecake with berries; limoncello tiramisu, etc. The cheesecake by itself was a little dry but when u mixed it with the berries, it was quite tasty. Ample parking in and around the area.

While my last visit here was okay, unfortunately this time was just bad. Starting from the beginning, I called ahead to make a reservation for a party of 10 a couple weeks in advance. I requested a specific table as well and they said it would be fine. I asked about preordering/reservering a cake for the party as well and they said it was fine and a whole cake would be $80 and to have them cut the cake it would be $120 total... Closer to the date, I went in person to confirm the reservation. They had written the wrong day and time under my name so thank goodness I did go, because otherwise my reservation wouldn't have even existed day of. I double checked about the cake while I was there too, asking if I needed to give a deposit. They said no deposit, but that it was $85 for the cake despite telling me $80 on the phone. (I ended up not getting the cake). I asked again about having a specific table and they said it was no problem. On the actual day, they didn't even check my reservation and also did not give me the table I had requested. There was no menus or anything set up ready for my reservation. The service during our time was not good. Drinks were not refilled and they brought out all but a few of my party's main courses and we had to wait 10 more minutes for the rest of our entrees with no explanation. Maybe this is not a problem for others but we prefer to wait for everyone to get their food so we can eat all together. We requested a refill of the free bread they provide when they were first serving our entrees and they brought it out at the same time that we were asking for to-go boxes... All that aside, the food was just okay. During previous time here I got the four cheese ravioli and it was fine. This time, I got the chicken parm and the closest comparison I can provide is that it tastes exactly like the Lean Cuisine frozen chicken parm. The chicken was just dry and chewy. Overall, I'm very disappointed with this visit as I had thought I was returning for a good meal. Perhaps this is not the best place to bring a bigger party for a reservation and is better suited for a casual, walk-in meal.

My friends and I went to Sosta Caffe for a late lunch on a Saturday. As we entered, we were immediately greeted by someone behind the amazing looking dessert case. There were a few tables seated, but no wait. Our server was friendly and service was quick. Everything we ordered was well seasoned and flavorful. They have a robust menu and I am looking forward to going back to try some of their other dishes.

First time at Sosta on a Monday night! The restaurant was decorated nicely and we were seated immediately with a reservation. The service was lackluster, I didn't feel we were checked on frequently despite the restaurant being pretty empty. I ordered the Carbonara which had great flavor, but unfortunately not hot enough. It came to the table lukewarm. I tried the Fiocchi di Pera which had an amazing texture, but the pear flavor was not super strong. The chicken parm was delicious. The desserts were really tasty and the waitresses drew out the happy birthday sign which was sweet.

I came here after hearing so much about their desserts, and I wasn't disappointed! Right when you walk in, you see the selection of cakes at the counter. Don't be fooled by the menu-there are probably double that amount of options in the actual case. The staff were patient in answering what everything was because they weren't labeled. After going back and forth for a while, I went with the classic chicken parmigiana. It was good, fresh, and, and a perfect portion size. I also love the feel of the restaurant. There are different rooms, exposed brick, and nice decor that all make you feel like you're in someone's home. One of the tables even looks like it could be a kitchen counter. The desserts were huge and very good. I ended up taking my cake home and eating it over the course of a few days.

let me tell you I've lived in this area basically my whole life, and I've always passed by this restaurant but never had a chance to check it out until today....IT WAS AMAZING!! I'm a huge fan of Italian food so the taste and options that they had were phenomenal! I was feeling pasta today so I got the ravioli spinach with ricottacheese and wowwww! My parents also got pasta and they enjoyed their plates as well, but I had no chance to take a photo of it (sorry lol) my aunts got dessert and ordered a pistachio cheesecake and a passionfruit cheesecake (I think) and they were well presented and looked absolutely delicious and were too!! our server was so amazing and helped a lot with our questions and the ambience was super cute as well! I will definitely be coming back to try more of the pastas and foods that they have! Very happy that we came here

When my wife and I first moved to South Florida, one of the first places we ate was Sosta and it was phenomenal. We brought family and friends there because it was the best Italian we found down here. Fast forward, the last time we went to Sosta, it was either a bad day or the restaurant fell off. The chicken Parmesan was soggy, my food was average at best (I can't even remember exactly what I got because it was so forgettable) and it felt like the restaurant phoned it in. It was one of the most disappointing experiences because of how much reverence we had for this restaurant.

I was pleasantly surprised by this little, rustic Italian cafe. I loved the staff, first of all. They were very accommodating, sweet, and cared about their cuisine/wines. We were seated at a roomy, private table, surrounded by rustic decor, low-volume Italian music playing in the background. We immediately felt comfortable and at home. The conversation was lively, as a result. For me, I tried the most boring dish on any Italian menu - the chicken marsala. It was not only good, it was overall great. My chicken was moist, and the side dish was a wonderful pappardelle pasta, which I have never had before, (it is like a slimmer, delicate version of Fettuccine.) Delicious mushroom wine sauce, generous parsley. That side dish alone was worth it. The wine pared with it, was perfect. I tried a bite of some other dishes the group had - I'm not a fan of Lasagna, but it was really good, better than most. Anyone who likes Lasagna would love their version. Likewise for the meatballs, I had a taste of that, and surprised at the pop of herbs. I tried the white fish, didn't care for it, wouldn't recommend it. They have salmon on the menu, looks interesting I would go with that or another seafood/shellfish. Someone at the table had risotto and I heard them raving about it. The appetizers were good, and so was the desert. For desert we got a couple things, including the pastiera of course - the Italian cheescake, and it was authentic. It can be an acquired taste for some, so if that's not your thing then try the Amaretto cake or something else, the Amaretto cake was really good. No one had pizza, but I'd be interested to try. Also, I notice they have burrata cheese on one of their pizzas, and in a couple of their dishes, how interesting is that, burrata instead of regular mozzarella? Worth trying. I'm sorry I didn't have the expresso, because it a place like this, it's probably good. I would definitely go back. And I can see it also, as a place you could stop by just for appetizers, desert and coffee. They have a lot of small tables everywhere, perfect for 2 or 3 people.

We were visiting family in the area and found this place and are extremely happy that we did . The food was wonderful and the service was even better. Everything was cooked to order and to our satisfaction. They have a wonderful selection of mouth watering desserts. Can't wait to come back again.

The food is yummy, the service is great, and the ambiance feels like home. Great little spot!

I reallllyyyy wanted to love this place because it came highly recommended from several people but I didn't have a good experience. We walked in and were immediately seated. We ordered and an entire HOUR in we still didn't even receive our appetizers that we ordered. I let the waitress know to just cancel it because who waits an hour for an appetizer??? We got our entrees and of course I was so excited to try the pear pasta and it was average in my opinion. Everything we ordered was okay. Nothing that would make me return honestly. I would like to say the waitress did apologize for the wait time after I complained and gave us a free dessert.

Had the fiochi de pera but asked for some chicken as my protein, it was the hardest chicken I've ever had.. dry... I'm certain it was not cooked at the moment.. seemed frozen.. disappointed. Service was o.k., not great, I would go again for the desserts and try another pasta, our other guest loved the lasagna

Food was delicious. And the service was so kind to us You have to try their bread options are the best. The setup is so neat and nice I love the decorations and setup of their restaurant. You can even sit outside.

Originally went in thinking this was a cafe, but was surprised, in a good way that it was a sit down restaurant. The decor was very cute and homey. Ample seating everywhere very spacious and very authentic. Our waiter was very kind and patient, we were actually served by the owners brother who gave us a mini tour of the restaurant and let us know that you can have a huge party without having to rent out the place. The food was amazing. The pizza was so good, the cheese was melting off, the pasta amazing as well. The tiramisu was a bit dry missing some coffee, but maybe that is what authentic tiramisu tastes like? Either way I will be coming back to try other dishes.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Broward. Great portions and the cake slices are huge!

A little spot in Pembroke Pines to make you feel almost in Italy with their rustic decor and Italian vibes inside. Food is always 10/10 and I'd recommend this to you if you're looking for quality and close to authentic Italian food.

The food is amazing and really fresh, not those reheated already made plates. The service is always very nice.

Came to eat pasta so I ordered salmon with spinach pasta. It was very good but salmon temp was warm. Compared to the linguine. The star of the show was Italian nachos which was bruschetta delish Overall everything was great. My table mates both had shrimp scampi and ate every bite.

Amazing!!! The food here was incredible! We started our meal with the split pea zuppa and the garlic focaccia. Both were delectable and full of flavor. We then went for the raised beef ravioli bolognese and the chicken parmigiana. The richness in flavor and juiciness of the chicken parmigiana was out of this word and the pomodoro pasta it comes with does not disappoint!! My husband loved the ravioli and the meaty sauce it came with as well. Finally we tried the homemade tiramisu and it was amazing!! the cream was fresh and the flavor of expresso was rich and bold! The service definitely could have been better. Don't come here expecting great service because you will be disappointed. I would still go back even with the bad service though because the food and ambiance of the restaurant are everything you want in a great Italian restaurant.

This is a small intimate place to share a good meal with family.. friends or spouse. Everything is spot on. Service always great with attending servers. You won't regret this place everything taste fresh and homemade

This place has been on my list for a while so I was excited to finally have time to go and eat here. I had high hopes for this place and I wish we had a better experience but If I could give this place a 0 I would. To start we had the lentil soup and the caesar salad. The lentil soup was puréed and tasted like a baby food. You know the saying "if it's not broken don't fix it"? Okay well, that applies to adding arugula onto a caesar salad. For entrees, we had the chicken parm and the gnocchi aurora pink sauce with chicken. You can never go wrong with chicken parm however we totally went wrong with this. There wasn't much flavor between the sauce and the chicken. The gnocchi aurora had an overly excessive amount of parsley on it which took away from the taste of the sauce. The chicken on it also smelled like wet dog and made us nauseous from the smell. We were excited to order dessert but after how terrible everything was, we just ended up paying and leaving.

Wow, what an experience! I'm not much for Italian food but I just fell in love with this place. The food and deserts were absolutely delicious and their presentation was awesome. The service was prompt, professional, and she offered great advise on the many choices. The ambiance is beautiful, authentic and immaculately clean. We are hooked and will be back often

10/10 highly recommend, food is super fresh & tasty. The lighting is dimmed for the ambiance so the pictures don't do it justice but I would definitely come back. Super clean space. Great wine selection!

Went to this restaurant on Mother's Day, the hostess was very friendly helpful and friendly, but when it came to the service and food not so spectacular. The waiter took forever to come and get our drinks order. We asked for bread and the faces were priceless. Once our food came the quality was not what we expected. Most likely not visit here again. The Ambience was the only thing that was superb.

Everything was absolutely delicious! I've been to a lot of Italian restaurants this is now in my top 5. The appetizers, the main course, and of course the desserts were just amazing.

Nice ambiance and service, the food is amazing, big portions and they have a pretty big menu.

Did a girls night dinner here and we really loved it. We came on a week night with no reservation and were seated right away. We shared the Polpette Rigatoni and the Focaccia Romana pizza and it was delicious! The pasta was cooked to perfection and the dish had a good amount of meat. We also really liked the sauce and the pizza. Our dessert was dulce de leche cake and it's one of the best ones we've had. I would say it is worth coming to this restaurant just for dessert. We specifically liked that the dessert selection is shown on a display so you can see everything that's available before you decide. The place overall has a nice ambiance and it's tastefully decorated. They also have a bar which is cool to hang out or watch a game. Their alcohol selection is beer and wine and gratuity is automatically included on the bill (party of 3). The service was on the slow side but we didn't mind it since we were relaxing and just enjoying a night out. Just something to consider if you're on a clock. We can't wait to be back!

I had to go with 3 and not 4 stars. The host is very charming with his Italian accent. This restaurant is a nice date spot. It has an Italian feeling to it. They have some jawdropping desserts. I did not try any but I might stop by one day since this is pretty close to where I live. Starting off, the complimentary bread had zero taste. None. The bright side is I didn't fill up on bread. Two bites was enough. They do use high quality olive oil. Service was lackluster. I will leave it at that. But I still would not have given them 4 stars even if the service were better. Anyhow, my salad was super fresh. The feta cheese was different from the rest. I liked it. I did not like how the black olives had pits in them. This was awkward. Tomatoes had no taste. I tasted the bruschetta. This was different from any I had eaten before. I didn't like it but that was not my dish so no problem. I ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese. I ordered it with meatballs but I thought it already includes meatballs based on the title of it on the menu. Server went into a whole explanation how it cost more with meatballs. No problem. I am very picky with meatballs. These were okay. I was able to eat them so that is a compliment to the chef. The dish came out piping hot which was perfect. It was saucy which was also good. Some of the pasta was pretty hard and not al dente. I do not like soft pasta at all. This was too much firmness and some of the Rigatoni made me feel I could break a tooth. I might come back. When I went to the restroom I saw a delicious looking meat dish that was not Osso Busco or whatever that is called. That is the only meat dish on the menu I saw. I should have asked the guy eating it what it was but too late now.

Service was quick and pleasant. Food was amazing especially the Risotto with chicken!!! Ambiance was ok just a little busy. Only thing that was a miss was the Cesar Salad, the arugula completely changed the taste.

Italy away from Italy. Self seating in the non busy hours. Server was really nice and explained the menu a bit to me. Decent drink menu and even better food. Space is clean, family friendly and solo friendly. They have something for everyone. Love the dessert display. Definitely give them a try if you're in the area!

Risotto, ravioli and cakes are excellent. Good neighborhood non-chain family restaurant/cafe.

A hidden gem! This place is amazing and doesn't fail to leave a great impression. This is our 4th time here now and we can't stop thinking about this place. All foods, lasagne, ravioli duo, chicken parmigiana, all amazing! Definitely worth it!

Sosta it's a cute hidden Italian restaurant it's great for lunch and dinner . Great to hang out with friends and enjoy a bite with no big crowds and fresh food. There's many options from lasagna, pasta , pizza and paninis ! I order the PPLT panini ; it's ham with provolone and pesto sauce with a side of lays chips (there was no options given for side) ... it was good, but nothing of the ordinary comparable to their other food .

Came here with 3 friends on a Sunday afternoon (when they opened) and was seated quickly. We ordered the cheese and cold cuts for an appetizer, it came out quickly and was pretty nice - the jelly/jam was a good addition. For entrees, we ordered the Seafood Ciambotta, Mushroom and Prosciutto Lasagna, Shrimp Scampi, and Fettucine al Salmone Burrata. Seafood Ciambotta - strong seafood flavor, seasoned well, but a little too acid for our personal liking. Shrimp Scampi - cooked well but was too salty for us, nice hint of lemon. Mushroom and Prosciutto Lasagna - very creamy, mushroom was good, very filling. Fettucine al Salmone Burrata - different flavor from what we were expecting but was pleasantly surprised; light and creamy - our personal favorite. Service was mid, we got our waters refilled once after around 15 minutes of waiting with empty cups, and the waitress was very passive. Overall, a good restaurant for authentic Italian food, food was great, service was okay.

Love love love. Came for dinner with a large group for my mom's birthday. The place is so cute and vibey, not too crowded thankfully. The service was amazing, very attentive and very welcoming. We got a million things and nobody had anything bad to say about anything. To start, we got the Focaccia Romana - everyone loved it. It was so savory and cheesy, I couldn't get enough of it! My boyfriend and I got 2 plates to share. The chicken Marsala he loved, but I am not a fan of chicken dishes so I don't want to comment on this. The Fiocchi si Pera was incredible. It was rich of flavor, mixing sweet and salty ingredients which I adore. I also shared the risotto with my mom. Amazing, all I can say. Overall we had an amazing experience. Recommend this place as you will get great food, great vibes, and great service. Looking forward to coming back!!

Revisited last night for the first time since September, given my last visit wasn't very good. And this time was like every other, perfect. I mentioned how my last visit was to the owner, he told me that pears are seasonal and flavors may vary...but if anything they'd be out of season now. Not too sure about that answer but glad it was a better experience this time around anyways.

Very nice place to eat excellent Italian cuisine. They have their own bakery with delicious choices.

I love it! But I give it 4 stars since the portion size dramatically change when you do a to go order. So the slices of cake or pasta order is particularly smaller. However, please please still go and check this place out I drive from Kendall to go her it's chefs kiss so good!!! I order to go a lot for special occasions or when a friend needs a pick me up and I go grab some slices or a casual Tuesday afternoon lunch and hang out there. Great food. Gamberi shrimp appetizer is my favorite

Love this place. Food is always amazing. I thought the service was at best 4/5, sometimes that is the price you pay when you are a big group. I had the chicken Marsala and would recommend it to anyone. The chicken portion though can be small for some people. Couple things: can get pizza as an appetizer and highly recommend the Brie as an appetizer. PS. Wine bottles are half off on Monday night.

Came here on a Sunday - nice family restaurant - clean - nice decor - no changing table in the bathroom (why?) - appetizer bruschetta is delicious - had the scampi pasta (very lemony) - carbonara was also really good - foccacia bread served warmed with water is great - good price - but the service can improve - we didn't get water refilled - they took forever to come once we had food, we had to chase them - but overall would be back

Great Italian spot in Pembroke Pines! The restaurant is located in a small strip mall off of Pines Blvd. It's cute and has room for big groups and small events. Once seated, they bring you bread which was nice and warm. We started with the Brie and it was very good. Would have liked to see it come with a little more bread though. For lunch, we had the chicken parmigiana and the Fiocchi de pera. The chicken in the parm may be small for some people, but the food was very good. For dessert, we ordered the hazelnut tiramisu. The coffee flavor was a little strong for my taste, but it was still very good. They have a number of fresh cakes on display that can also be ordered. The service was very good. We enjoyed lunch and will be back when in the area.

Came here on a weekday for lunch with friends and there was no wait at all. Parking was also super easy to find. I loved the complementary bread--soft and warm--and I definitely appreciate that they were generous with seconds. We shared the Brie al Forno appetizer (with brie, arugula, apricot preserve, almonds, and bread): the brie was warmed at a temperature that was easily spreadable, and paired well with the sweet apricot. The almonds and arugula added even more textures, and the bitterness from the arugula made the overall flavor more complex. My friends shared the Gnocchi Aurora (pink sauce), which they said was their favorite. I had Fettucine al Salmon e Burrata: the pasta was perfectly al dente, and salmon wasn't dry or over cooked. I always love burrata. Honestly, carbs with meat and cheese, what's not to like. Our server was nice and knew how to split our check. I was too full from bread and pasta for dessert, but it looks super tempting so I'll be back for it. This is my new go-to place for Italian food.

This place is absolute amazing - service is great, food is excellent, ambiance is family oriented. If you come here be ready to leave stuffed. However, please make sure to leave room for desert because they have a great assortment of deserts to choose from. On this occasion we chose the cannoli cake which was different than I expected but very tasty. The wife and I will def be back in the near future.

i had really high expectations because of the crowd and all the awards on the door, but the food was so mediocre. we tried the calamari, a panini and the carbonara. the calamari was rock hard, the panini bread was rock hard and the carbonara had no flavor and was not saucy/creamy. i would not recommend this food. the ambiance was lovely and the appetizer bread was really good, though.

Best Italian food in the area. I can't tell you how many times I've passed by here. Blink and you'll miss it. I've gone for dinner and for lunch. Towards the evening it gets hectic. So far every item I've tried has been good. My favorite part is that you don't have that heavy full feeling that you get from some restaurants. It's definitely something I recommend to people around here.
