Welcome to Da Sophia, Our Italian Restaurant in Beirut!
Da Sophia is an authentic Italian restaurant in Beirut, Lebanon, inspired by the timeless elegance of Sophia Loren, the world-famous Italian actress, and by the hotel’s owner, who proudly shares her name and passion for true Italian cuisine.
Rooted in tradition, the restaurant draws its soul from Italian Recipes (1972), a rare and time-worn cookbook discovered years later. During a defining moment in her life, Sophia Loren turned to cherished recipes passed down from her grandmother — classic Italian dishes centered around fresh pasta, family values, and culinary heritage.
Inspired by this legacy, Da Sophia celebrates authentic Italian food, honest cooking, and rich Mediterranean flavors. As one of the destinations for fine Italian dining in Beirut, the restaurant embraces the belief that the best Italian cuisine comes from heritage, love, simplicity, and time-honored recipes.
