"Via Carota’s Rita Sodi and Jody Williams reopened I Sodi to bigger digs a couple of years ago, so it’s easier to get a spot here for food that is as terrific as ever (plus, there’s a glorious backyard, too). Go here for starters like bresaola or artichokes salad, pappardelle with lemon and pecorino sardo, pan-fried pork chop, and the famous rabbit served porchetta-style. Good to know: While Buvette and Via Carota get more airtime, Rita Sodi’s namesake is a bit easier to get into particularly at the bar, especially now that it offers a bigger dining room. Don’t miss the rabbit or the lasagna. And if you’re here with a crowd, order all the sides for the table to share." - Emma Orlow
