Born in Milan to culinary great Cesarina, a Cordon Bleu of Chaine des Rotisseurs in Paris, Maurizio inherited his passion for cooking and learned his skills under the watchful eye of his mother. After, years of running Girarrosto, as the front man, Maurizio decided to move to NYC in 1987 to open “Bice” with his cousin. He then went on to work for another famed NYC restaurant “Da Silvano”. After ye

ars of being the front man in Milan and New York’s most prestigious restaurants, Maurizio realized that he wanted to pursue his passions as a chef and subsequently opened his own Maurizio Trattoria in NYC’s Greenwich Village to great critical acclaim and success. Along with many prestigious articles and reviews, Maurizio Trattoria was also voted one of the best restaurants in New York by Forbes magazine from 2004 to 2007. Maurizio Trattoria’s regular clientele included famous A-list movie stars, fashion designers, Ceo’s, as well as neighborhood notables. Maurizio is very excited to have finally landed in Chicago’s prestigious Printers Row to open his very own Sofi Restaurant, where he can once again focus his passions on cooking. Sofi Restaurant is an upscale Milanese Trattoria simply decorated with lithographs from Carroll Tyson and table tops that are handmade from two hundred year old wood.

When the Chicago air turns a little cooler, there's only one question: Why cook when Italy is waiting for you in Printer’s Row?

Trade your kitchen for an evening of rich flavors, warm hospitality, and the kind of comfort food that makes every chilly night feel a little cozier.

•Sink your fork into our Saltimbocca Romana — tender pork loin scaloppini layered with prosciutto, sage, and a silky Marsala sauce.

•Indulge in the timeless elegance of Ossobuco alla Milanese — a slow-braised veal shank served over luxurious saffron risotto, a Northern Italian classic worth savoring bite by bite.

•Craving something hearty? Our Short Ribs Stracotto are braised until fork-tender in a rich Barolo wine sauce and served with creamy polenta.

•Looking for a favorite that never disappoints? Our Pollo Parmigiana features a perfectly breaded cutlet topped with melted mozzarella, tomato sauce, and roasted potatoes.

•And for lovers of classic Italian comfort, our Vitello Carciofi combines delicate veal scaloppini with a velvety cream and artichoke sauce that's impossible to forget.

The weather may cool down, but dinner doesn't have to. Gather your friends, bring your appetite, and let us take care of the rest.
