I SodiLovely neighborhood feelTrue Italian and cosy. Heard about I Sodi from a food editor and tried to get a table my last trip. Not the easiest task as it´s popular. You need to book in advance, if you're aiming at 7 pm for dinner. This time I made a reservation before my trip. I was the first guest at 5,30, but not for long. The place filled up quickly with locals and small groups of people who enjoy this little pearl in West Village.
The service from our Swedish waiter (funny enough since I'm from Sweden) was excellent and I could see that he was equally attentive to his other guests. We had two delicious pasta dishes, with fried artichoke and great wine. Very nice atmosphere and it´s easy to understand why regulars keep coming back. I will be back also next time!5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMgemCharm of a restaurant, with few tables, eat at the bar for a treat. Ravioli with butter and sage super, steak tartare excellent and well prepared. Broiled chicken under a brick delicious. Excellent drinks and wine. Adam and Raymond bartenders sweet and attentive. Can't beat the food, reservations a must.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMWe've eaten at I Sodi severalWe've eaten at I Sodi several times now, and have never been anything except very pleased.

We just wish it was bigger!4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was utter perfectionThe food was utter perfection in its simplicity. The artichoke salad and cannellini beans for starters were divine, so few ingredients, but done so beautifully. Our main dishes were consumed with delight in the flavors of every bite! The spinach and ricotta ravioli was flawlessly done, the butter sage sauce was the perfect compliment, and the spaghetti with pepper sauce and pecorino cheese was impeccable. The feel of the place was very elegant (the marble and dark wood), yet with an approachable homemade kitchen feel to it. The service was timely and efficient, yet not overly friendly or helpful, I don't appreciate the feeling that I'm bothering the waiter when I ask for something. The price was excellent for the quality of the food.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMExtraordinAry Italiaan inExtraordinAry Italiaan in Geenwich Village. The room is small and cramped, but ultimately comfortable. Each dish that comes out the kitchen is excellent. The pastas were great, as we're the meat dishes. I do not particularly enjoy vegetables. But I would go back just for the peas. I do not know what they do different to a green pea, but it is absolutely delicious. The service is extremely friendly and surprisingly efficient, given the tight space they have to work with. We will be back--if we can get back in.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMOverperformed our expectations.Overperformed our expectations. Very good, simple, focused food. Bright and warm. We will definitely go back.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMSimply The BestSimply put, this is my favorite Italian restaurant in Manhattan. The food is exquisite (I lived in Italy, I can judge), and the warmth, intelligence and dignity of the waitstaff are unparalleled. Standout dishes: The cacio e pepe pasta, the artichoke lasagne, and the spinach. Go now, you won't be disappointed.3/11/2013 12:00:00 AM
