   We enjoyed an early dinner at the bar counter. All the dishes we tried was rather simply prepared, but delicious allowing you to enjoy the flavor of the good quality ingredients. The home made pasta was lovely, too. They reminded me how the cooking should be. The services at the bar was excellent, too: quick, efficient, and caring.

   Oh this was an amazing restaurant. Food was the fantastic but the service was the part that pushed the score to 5/5. We had Tartare, Lasagna, Artichoke salads, Risotto. All super good

   We come to I Sodi a few times a year and are never disappointed. We were there the night of the NYT review by coincidence and it was packed. Newer waiter was rushing us a bit, but it will settle down again and be the perfect gem of a restaurant that we love. The food is divine.

   Food is excellent but staff make it very clear that they have ample regulars and you're not one of them. Left standing in doorway without anyone so much as nodding at us for literally 5 minutes. And not because we were badly dressed or behaved just to be clear, and we had a reservation at an early hour. In fairness, the place is tiny, but the chilly attitude was most disappointing. Oh well, there are plenty of top notch restaurants where they treat new patrons beautifully.

   The restaurant staff is professional and welcoming. The restaurant itself is small and the decor is not so inviting. Food is overpriced-better value at Villa Mosconi, Mezzogiorno, Arco Cafe. The cacio e pepi is VERY peppery and salty-overpowers the pasta.

   I Sodi was recommended to me by a friend, and his recommendation did not disappoint. We had a little bit of an early reservation, but we were greeted warmly, and our server was very kind and had a great knowledge about the food and wine. He also gave us our space and let us eat our meal, without feeling rushed, so they could sit the next table. Definitely will go again!

   We were seated close to 8:40pm for an 8pm reservation which we were on time for. This didn't bother us because we weren't starving or in a rush, but we should have seen it as a red flag. Staff is friendly and the white negroni and wine were great. The restaurant was busy and maybe a server or someone called out, but we shouldn't have felt the effects. The timing gaps between being served water, drinks, bread/olives and entrees were very wide. Sardine special was good but needed a squeeze of lemon. We had one bite of the rabbit and cacio e pepe and both were not good at all. The rabbit was dry and just tasted of weird pancetta. The side of cooked greens were terrible and tasted like mucky frozen spinach cooked in salted water - there was barely an afterthought of evoo and garlic. The cacio e pepe had so much black pepper that I physically had difficultly swallowing my first and only bite. Servers walked by and eyed our full plates but no one stopped to ask if anything was wrong. Our server apologized but didn't offer any solutions and dropped the check. The two entrees we barely touched should have been comped. No manager came by. At that point, our only recourse was to withhold the tip. I've never not tipped - it was an awful feeling, but I hope the restaurant is mindful and kind enough to their staff to pay out the server on the check despite the lack of tip. My boyfriend and I work in the restaurant industry. Our overall experience was absolutely abysmal.

   Second time that I have been and my expectations were extremely high. The food surpassed my expectations and I would have given this a 5 star experience had it not been for one of the staff who was incredibly rude to a member of our party. It is extremely unfortunate as the experience otherwise was excellent and this individual ruined it.

    I don't live in NYC and the only reason I came was for the Artichoke Lasagna...which they were out of sadly. The replacement dish was over salted and I barely ate any of it. Bummed as I have been trying to get back to one of my fave NYC italian spots since I moved 4 years ago only to not be happy when I left...
