Emily WilsonMarch 19, 2017A classy oasis tucked into a charmingly tiny space, I Sodi is a deeply under-hyped restaurant. The food is simple and perfect, from the tartar to the life-changing lasagna. Listen up for the specials.
Kiwi WangJune 12, 2018Omg the lasagna 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Takes an additional 25 mins when you order, but so worth it. Never had lasagna like this in my life- so melty and rich and perfect! Steak tartare was stellar too.
Gee BeeAugust 26, 2019All the dishes were exceptional. I would go to have the same meal again. We doubled up On the amazing salad. Had the fried artichokes. Then 3 pastas. Lasagna. Vongole & Cacio peppe. All to die for.
Amanda RellaFebruary 24, 2018Perfect for date night. Gets really busy, and is fairly small, so put your name down early if you don't have a reso. Must order the artichokes and the steak tartare. Tiramisu is a must!
Untapped CitiesAugust 18, 2017I Sodi is our top pick. It offers completely authentic Tuscan cuisine, with items like cacio e pepe (spaghetti with black pepper and pecorino), rather than penne alla vodka and $1 pizza slices. Read more
Marie La RueSeptember 17, 2018Quaint neighbourhood spot that is near perfection. Service at the bar was outstanding and very personable.
A+ across the board. Excellent service, the food is delicious on all counts and the vibe is great! Lasagna special is second to none! Negroni cocktail to start is highly recommended.
Jane KatzOctober 4, 2017omg i sodi is the perfect balance of charming, rustic, and upscale. I know everyone says you should go for the lasagna but what swept me off my feet was the cacio e pepe! Also, perfect martinis.
Sarah SampselAugust 18, 2017Order the fried artichokes if available! The pastas are all super tasty, especially the cacio e pepe. Ask your server for recommendations on Nebbiolo to pair with your meal.
D&A Travel: AndersDecember 28, 2013[Restaurant/Bar] Our favorite Italian, hands down - Tuscan trucker food the way it should be. Try the pepper spaghetti. Book well in advance or try to get a seat at the bar.
Rock RainesFebruary 17, 2020Food is excellent and the execution on cocktails was strong. Spinach ravioli is worth a try and lasagna is a showstopper as is Rabbit porchetta. Ambiance was a little sterile on first visit though
Sophie BakalarAugust 10, 2019Loved the cacio e Pepe and the tiramisu! 5/5 for a classic Italian meal
- AmateurConciergeDecember 22, 2016Amazing ingredient and no gimmicks approach makes this place a true NYC gem. Negroni, steak tartare and lasagna were both excellent. Cacio e Pepe next time!
Lee HoffmanJuly 13, 2017One of the best lasagnas and fried artichokes and chocolate cakes I've ever had. Lemon pasta was very good. Ravioli eh.
EaterJanuary 11, 2012This tiny, beautifully-designed West Village restaurant serves some of the city's best pastas & a small list of rustic Tuscan-style meat dishes. Make reservations well ahead of time. [Eater 38 Member]
David RosenbergMarch 14, 2015Negroni lovers rejoice, this place treats your favourite drink with serious respect. Also don't miss the lasagne and the black kale.
Gregory FisherApril 1, 2019Walk-ins at the bar are pretty easy, which is nice considering how hard reservations are to get. Lasagna was the only great dish we had, but onion pasta, tartare, artichoke salad, & rabbit were fine.- Chad HornerJuly 3, 2017straightforward, delicious Tuscan cuisine in an intimate setting. a good amount of bar seating if dining solo or with a friend!
David BanNovember 21, 2014This modern yet homey Italian space features well-executed pasta classics and an entire menu devoted to variations on Negroni cocktails. Great date spot.
Giulia MMarch 29, 2021Wow, 100% worth the hype! I am from Italy and I consider this restaurant to be quite authentic. Will be back ASAP!
stephanie scheperDecember 22, 2012outstanding! absolutely loved the artichoke lasagna and ravs with spinach ricotta and sage. The antipasto for two was enormous and fried artichokes were to die for! new favorite date spot.
Roniel TesslerFebruary 5, 2019The hype. I know. But sadly, I found almost everything lacked an extra "it" factor to make it worth all the noise. Still, the negronis are top notch, and the cacio e pepe is very, very good.
BlackBook MagazineDecember 4, 2012MICHAEL MINARIK: "Best Italian food I've had in the city. Their olive oil is shipped in from the owner’s farm in Tuscany & is a meal in and of itself. I especially love going here in the wintertime." Read more
- Justin DeanJune 5, 2015Simple, elegant Italian executed very well. Still daze about the creamy, punchy cacio e pepe and airy, show-stealing tiramisu. Perfect 3rd date.
Marc CohenJuly 26, 2018Amazing Italian. Negronis are some of the best in the city, the pasta is as good as Carbone.
The Corcoran GroupAugust 1, 2013Our favorite place to come for solid Cacio e Pepe. It's a simple dish, but they really know how to do it right here.
Inge Van HeckeApril 25, 2013Take either the Rigatoni strascicati or the cacio e Pepe; great selection of wines; fantastic service ... Great place to eat at the bar by yourself or in good company
Saarim ZamanMarch 18, 2017Some of the best Italian food I've had in NYC. Do not miss the tartare, the artichoke salad, and the lasagna.
D LNovember 4, 2018Lasagna super tasty. salad Too. Pork chop was overcooked - had to send back. Not sure will return after long wait to get a resi.
Dear Olvie Garden -- please send your food artists to this place instead of your Tuscan kitchen. This place is the real deal. #1 Italian joint in NYC
- Sam LudinJune 10, 2019Lasagna is incredible. Cacio e Pepe is very good. Steak tartare is a must have, best in the city.
Ryan AmbsJanuary 31, 2017Everything was on the salty side. This ruined the cacio e pepe a bit but would still recommend the lasagna and fried artichokes.
Lisa ParavanoMarch 22, 2013it's possible that we tried every item on the menu.. and all outstanding! just mind the gap/watch ur step at the exit or you will bust ass.
CharlottesJuly 31, 2016Perfectly simple and deftly cooked, produce-driven Italian fare. If only it wasn't so hard to get a table!
Sung HwangNovember 26, 2013Cacio e pepe!!!! this is my all time favorite place.. Small and cozy, nothing too fancy but the pasta tastes the best.
Serious EatsFebruary 25, 2014Home for regional Tuscan cooking, down to the freshly pressed olive oil.
James YiuSeptember 20, 2013Say hi to Rita the owner. She may be sitting by the bar next to you. She is the woman with glasses and short hair.
Amazing food. Get the lasagna, peas and tiramisu. Love Dumante (pistachio liquor) for dessert- Try everything on the menu. It keeps on getting even better. Ragu is my new religion
Allison AdlerMay 11, 2014My favorite restaurant!! Beautiful food, beautiful place and wonderful service ! 5 stars!
