Regina Sofia

story

Who we are

The name Regina Sofia was born on a beautiful day when in our family restaurant, where we only cooked fish, we received an unexpected visit from the actress Sophia Loren. The actress asked us to accompany the ordered dish with a focaccia pizza and, as we did not have a wood 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 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.

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