Restaurante Casa Sofia Real Ibiza - 77712 Playa del Carmen

Amazing Italian food for a great price

Great restaurant in Real Ibiza. Very reasonably priced. Enjoyed drinks, appetizers, main and desert. All were great.

We visited this restaurant 3 times, and 1 star is our conclusive rating after the incidents happened. Read on and decide for yourself. If you are short on time, read the section visit#3 only. --- Visit#1 was on a weekend. We ordered from the regular menu lasagne and grilled chicken. While lasagne was tasty, the chicken was just edible. Both portions were rather on the small side for the price. Drinks on the expensive side. Service was okay-ish and you can't expect much from the ambience located on a busy roadside. The bill came correctly, we left tip as well. All in all, we decided to return for another visit to try more dishes. --- Visit#2 we went on a weekday as they have a special menu called "ejecutivo" from 2pm to 5pm. The first thing was that they brought the regular menu first, but then I explicitly asked for the lunch menu. One of the waitresses brought it upon request. This time we ordered a pasta dish that would cost $88 on regular menu but with lunch menu reduced to $79. I ordered a salad that was advertised as $79 on lunch menu. As dishes include Jamaica water, instead of additional drinks we ordered 1x cheesecake ($25) and 1x americano ($10 instead of $25). Pasta was delicious, salad was so-so. In the end, the bill came with 2 cheesecakes and my salad was entered as $89 instead of $79. I did make them correct the cheesecake but didn't want to discuss the price of the salad. I deducted the $10 difference from the tip I was thinking about leaving. Mistakes can happen and because one of us was still happy with the food, we returned for another time. --- Visit#3 was again on a weekday for the lunch menu. This time before entering, waitress#1 asked our name, if it was our first visit, and if we had any allergies. After we were seated, again he brought first the regular menu. I asked for the ejecutivo menu. Waitress#1 asked us to wait for a moment. And then came waitress#2, and asked if he could take our order. Again I said I'd like to have the lunch menu. He checked his watch (it was 4pm, still in the advertised timeframe), then reluctantly said only cash payment. We said no problem, and we ordered from the lunch menu 2x pastas each advertised for $79 (only dish that was tasty and worth the price so far), 1x americano for $10, and 1 cheesecake for $25 (expected total $193). As we suspected the bill might not be correct again (but hoped it would be), we took the picture of the lunch menu as a precaution. And up until the moment we asked for the bill, everything was smooth, service was friendly and we were thinking if the bill comes right, how much tip we would leave this time. Sadly the bill was not correct from start to end. Americano $25, ejecutivo plates each $89, plus an additional $43 for the pasta sauce (remember this pasta would cost us $88 if ordered from the regular menu. In the regular menu you pay for pasta 43 plus for the sauce you select, ours listed as $45), so a total of $271 came instead of the expected $193. Waitress#2 came and we wrote down with a pen what each item costs according to the lunch menu, and made him correct the bill. Just for the record, we speak not perfect Spanish but enough to discuss all these. Eventually, waitress#2 came with the correct bill, we paid cash, waitress#3 brought our change, and we took every single peso and left. Sadly: NEVER AGAIN.

Amazing experience! Great attention to guests and awesome food. There are vegan options! I felt well taken care of and will definitely be returning. Thank you!

Ate here today. The service was quick (I was the only one there) and the prices were decent (expect 100-130 pesos). I got the 4 cheese ravioli with Alfredo sauce. It was good. Nothing great nothing bad. :) I think my taste buds didn’t agree with one of the cheeses they used is all!

The best service and food I’ve had at a restaurant in Playa. $65 peso glasses of house wine and I’ll be telling everyone I know. As a courtesy after such a great meal, I moved the map pin, it was in the middle of jungle and did not lead us to the restaurant! The map will take you there now, it’s on the second level of Plaza Real Ibiza but you’ll see!! Enjoy ?

I've eaten here 3 times every time the service is great food delicious and drinks are yummy

Great local italian restaurant, i had the meat ravioli with a mimosa, and my date had the chicken Alfredo which was very creamy and tasteful with a Spritz. Service was a tad slow, specially in the end when we were waiting for the check but the food was great and the drinks too. If i can i would come back.
