"I note that I Sodi remains a classic with lines out the door — an enduring favorite whose popularity persists thanks to excellent food and frequent celeb sightings." - Matt Ortile
"Part of their string of West Village staples, this Tuscan icon dates to 2008." - Melissa McCart
"When I Sodi’s lasagna a sugo arrives at a table, everyone holds their breath. Not just because it’s a bona fide masterpiece—although it is that, very much so—but because it looks like one rogue gust of air will cause the entire thing to topple over. I never took physics, so I’m not sure how all 20 layers of noodle upon sauce upon cheese upon meat do manage to stay upright on their journey from the kitchen, but I do know that the dish is delicious—and certainly worth the Instagram feed post. Just make sure you don’t stop at the lasaga—this West Village hotspot also has plenty of other dishes worth ogling over." - Kat Chen
"Formerly located on Grove Street, in a room the size of a shipping container, I Sodi now has a larger home around the corner on Bleecker. It’s not as charming as the original, but now you have a better chance of snagging a table, so we’ll call it a draw. Like the plain farmhouse interior, the Tuscan food here isn’t anything too elaborate. Don’t skip the simple vegetable dishes, which are often just a pretense to eat cheese and olive oil, and focus on the pasta. The pappardelle al limone is our top choice, but we understand if the 21-layer lasagna is calling your name. It’s famous. We get it. Bar seats are reserved for walk-ins, and you may even be able to grab a walk-in table for an overachieving impromptu date night." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta
"I Sodi is known for two things: incredible Tuscan food that’s so simple it seems effortless, and being impossible to get into—partly because the original location was tiny. Now that the restaurant is in a larger space on Bleecker, getting a table is a bit easier, but not by much. If you're lucky enough to land a reservation, you’ll get to enjoy your choice of their house Negronis and some perfect pappardelle al limone in a faux farmhouse space with weathered floorboards. Keep in mind, the bar is saved for walk-ins, and you can get a seat there without much of a wait if you stop by early in the night." - bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
