  • Truthfully we found the entire I Sodi experience overrated. We had all the classics (fried artichokes, lasagne, etc.) - the fried artichokes were extremely mediocre and while the lasagne presented well it was dry/bland.

    I had the worst meal of my life at I Sodi. I had a reservation right when they opened and think they gave me leftovers from the day prior. We ordered both lasagnas and the vegetarian one was sweet - in a really terrible way. Lasagna noodles were way overcooked.

  • I Sodi - Lasagna is VERY mid, and do not get the rabbit porchetta: VERY salty, and kale does not work well with the meat.

  • replying to u/jyeatbvg: Was underwhelmed tbh. It hurt even more given all the hype.

    Woefully mediocre lasagna. Thick sheets of pasta, tomato-paste like “sauce”, dry shavings of sawdust parm on top.

  • I like their specials the best. They had a large format dry aged steak the last time I went and it was one of the best steaks I’ve had in NYC. That said, the place is a bit of a WV preppy club and I’m probably not the audience for that scene, so it’s not in my top list.

  • replying to u/Pelayo_217: It looks awful dry though at least from the online photos.

    I didn’t find it to be dry at all. I’d say it was at least 12layers and the flavour was something else. Growing up in an Italian family and having eaten my fair share over the years, it was one of the best I’ve ever had.

  • The service at I Sodi is pretentious and I found it to be overrated. Not worth the hype at all. The bowl of cacio e pepe was a cheesy mess without any depth.

  • I’m eating my leftovers from I Sodi as I write this, including the lasagna, and I have to say, I am incredibly underwhelmed. The lasagna is bland, yet very salty, and the pasta is mushy

  • I was disappointed by I Sodi - the lasagna was OK, but I found the flavors across dishes to be weak / mild, and the ingredients did not stand out as particularly noteworthy or high quality which you often see when they lower the flavor profile, so overall just found the meal very mediocre.

  • A tremendous dish, the sauce is more mild and doesn't have a big tomato punch. Great for a large group since it's a quite large and dense

  • 7. I Sodi | Limone. I've found their famous lasagna to be inconsistent, but when it's on, it's ON.

  • Really good pasta. The lemon in the pasta was very subtle. The back patio is great vibes.

  • i absolutely love walking in and sitting at the bar at i sodi. it is especially lovely for solo dining, or two people comfortably. the lasagna is something special, however the rest of the dishes shine as well.

  • replying to u/FastChampionship2628: I didn't know I Sodi was famous for lasagna, thought it was Done Angie. Have you had both, how do they compare?

    I absolutely loved the texture of the layered I Sodi one.

  • replying to u/Interesting-Goose568: Omg, I sodi without a doubt. Food is great but the last time I went there, a party of 3 went up to the maitre d: Guest: “Hi, we have a reservation for four but our friend got super sick so it’s just going to be the three of us” I sodi: “Sorry, we won’t be able to seat you then. You should have changed your reservation” Guest: “We tried, the phone number was just an automated service” I sodi: “yes that’s our system”. I generally try to stand by restaurants but this was just so egregious. You’re really going to give them a hard time for trying to downgrade a 4 top to a 3 top when they had clearly tried to contact the restaurant?

    I unfortunately love I sodi’s food

  • The pastas are all delicious (the mushroom meat ragu special is one of my fav pastas in the city), the cocktails are great, app's are always amazing too

  • replying to u/nacho_girl: I Sodi. I really wanted to love it but the pasta was bland and overcooked

    Was disappointed with the lasagne.

  • replying to u/Eviana27: For me it’s a TIE btw Via Carota and Il Sodi both are extremely delish you can’t go wrong 🤤

    I regret not trying it at I Sodi. The lasagne just didn’t hit the spot for me.

  • There were 2 other pastas that I enjoyed more at I sodi than the famous lasagna: lemon pasta, and a chestnut ravioli

  • replying to u/External-Youth-7872: i absolutely love walking in and sitting at the bar at i sodi. it is especially lovely for solo dining, or two people comfortably. the lasagna is something special, however the rest of the dishes shine as well. even dessert feels thoughtful. overall, the vibe of i sodi is more intimate, so you may find yourself having a quieter meal. the food is very good at via carota (the apps and veggies steal the show IMO) but the facey “influencer” type vibe would deter me personally from going there for an at-the-bar dining experience. however if you want that more upbeat, lively experience while you dine, go for it! either way, enjoy!

    Completely agree on I Sodi bar seating and lasagna.
