I Sodi

"Rita Sodi’s original restaurant moved around the corner not long ago, and the new premises is as hard to get into as the old. The menu represents the classic three-course progression of the perfect Tuscan meal, beginning with a plate of charcuterie and cheese, progressing to a fresh pasta course, and then a secondo, which might be Sodi’s famous herb-laced porchetta. The trick to getting into this compact place is lining up before the restaurant opens at 4:30 p.m. and claiming a walk-in table or seat at the bar." - Robert Sietsema
