I went to I Sodi when it first opened and have been back many times since. I simply cannot find one complaint. The food is very refined Italian, the wines are well selected and the waiting staff strikes the right balance between professionalism and joviality. And all this for very moderate prices. Simply one of the best restaurants in NYC! PS. The bar is the best place to sit.

What I like most about i Sodi is that it doesn't try too hard - it is absolutely genuine. For those of you who have enjoyed Brooklyn's Al Di La, the food and atmosphere will feel somewhat familiar, but it's all served in a lower key. While its location is somewhat unexpected (I tried to visualize Christopher between Bedford and Bleecker and initially couldn't see a restaurant there), the food, and the people who create and serve it have managed to create a familiar and comforting local gem. The pasta is sometimes rich, but always fresh and unique, tapping into true - not standard - Italian gustatory heritage. I loved the creative salads and appreciated that the wine selection focuses on quality and value - not quantity. If I was forced to cite a negative, I'd say that the tables are somewhat crowded - but I could recommend dining at the bar as a great alternative. Would love to see what others think.
