Soya e Pomodoro

"If Martin Scorsese movies have taught us anything, it’s that it looks very fun to be a regular at Italian restaurants. Maybe Soya E Pomodoro won’t carry a special table through the dining room and plop it down right in front of the jazz quartet for you, but this strange yet endearing little Downtown spot does serve some very good pasta and other Italian dishes. They also have live jazz Thursday-Saturday, but even if you come on a Tuesday, the restaurant’s overwhelming interior is entertaining enough." - ryan pfeffer
