This was my first time here and I would not hesitate to go back. The inside dining seemed a little cool and close seating so we (party of 2) enjoyed a table on the patio and really liked the setup. Our waitress was excellent, which (to me) is a big part for feeling like you’ve had a positive experience at a place, next to the taste of a meal of course. We ordered a large or 12” supreme pizza; the crust was thin and crispy with a good amount of toppings and sauce (for $20.50). I wanted something else with my meal so I got a side salad and that’s the only reason I did a 4 instead of a 5 in all my ratings…for $5 it was a bit sparse with a handful of iceberg lettuce, two pieces of onion, 2 cherry tomatoes and a cracker. If you’re ordering a sandwich ($11-$12) you can add a side salad for $2.50 or it’s free with an entree ($17-$21) so that’s the only reason why I felt $5 was a little high after seeing the other price points. If I was doing a bistro or 10” size pizza then $5 seems more fair for a side salad but overall not a dealbreaker for whether I’d go back. Saw several other dishes served and the pasta looked great as well as their appetizers. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you try them out if a first timer.

We got spaghetti and meatballs with bread, for take out and it was so good! I definitely recommend this! They don’t skimp you on the portion size, the sauce is not watery at all, and it tastes so fresh & homemade!

This place is pretty solid. The food didn’t knock my socks off, but it’s tasty and prepared well. Excellent service.

So good! I’ve only been a couple of times but I really enjoyed it this time. I got a chicken sandwich and it was one of the best I’ve had! The potatoes had a bit too much rosemary for my taste but still I enjoyed them very much.

Their pizza is an excellent thin crust. It had the best crisp, cooked to perfection. The Chicken Romano was also really delicious.

The food was pretty good but there was nothing extra special about it. My husband and I both ordered the baked cavatelli. He got it with meatballs and I got it with Italian sausage. We both thought it was tasty but agreed that we have had better cavatelli from other places in town that was much better. The menu said the noodles were supposed to be gnocchi-shaped, but they were shells instead. The dish came with a cold and dry dinner roll that was a little disappointing. It would have been nice if it had been warmed up and a little softer. The butter pat was softened, so that was a nice touch. For $15, we were expecting a little more bread or at least better quality.

Some friends told us about this place. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the outside. When we got in the dinning room was very small and only has about 10 tables. The place was packed, we went on a Wednesday. After about 30 min we finally were seated out waitress, Brea, greeted us warmly and got our drink order started. She alone is worth going to Sonny’s. We got our food in short time and it was DELICIOUS! I recommend everyone try this place. 2nd best pasta in Des Moines.
