If you're in Greer and the pickings along Wade Hampton feel repetitive, Sophia's is a 20-minute drive on US-29 or I-85 into Downtown Spartanburg. We're a family-owned Italian restaurant with scratch pasta, Italian wines, and a quiet candlelit dining room — a favorite with BMW employees entertaining visitors, GSP travelers staying downtown, and anyone looking for a non-chain Italian table.
Sophia's sits at 155 West Main Street in Downtown Spartanburg — roughly 17 miles from Greer, or about 20 minutes depending on traffic.
US-29 (Wade Hampton Boulevard) east into Spartanburg — about 20 minutes from downtown Greer. Or I-85 north to exit 70, Main Street. Free on-street parking after 5 PM, plus the Broad Street parking garage half a block away.
A small, family-owned Italian restaurant — not a chain, not fast-casual. Sauces simmered from scratch each morning, hand-rolled pasta, lobster ravioli, chicken parmigiana in vodka sauce, and tiramisu made in-house. Italian wine list, candlelit dining room, patio seating in season. The kind of place guests dress up for a Friday night or an anniversary.
