Best Italian restaurant in River Ridge

Sophie's Restaurant is a family-owned eatery located in River Ridge, Louisiana. It is an exciting new seafood and Italian eatery with a focus on the dishes New Orleans loves best. Named after the owner/executive chef's daughter, the restaurant will open its doors in the former home of Très Bon Cajun Meats. Sophie's Restaurant offers a variety of Italian and seafood dishes, including eggplant, pecan-crusted fish, meatballs, and more. The restaurant is open for dinner Monday through Thursday from 5 pm to 9 pm, Friday from 11 am to 10 pm, Saturday from 12 pm to 3 pm for brunch and 5 pm to 10 pm for dinner, and Sunday from 11 am to 3 pm for brunch. They also offer bottomless mimosas during brunch hours. The restaurant is a nice casual place to go for dinner, but the food can be hit or miss. The pecan-crusted fish, for example, is battered with very few pieces of pecans and fried, and the fish of the day is sometimes not used. However, the eggplant is very good, and the bread pudding is excellent. Overall, Sophie's Restaurant is a good option for those looking for a casual dining experience with a focus on Italian and seafood dishes.
