"Partners Rita Sodi and Jody Williams are behind what might be the most popular Italian restaurant in the city. And their other spots (Buvette, I Sodi, and Bar Pisellino) aren’t exactly struggling to fill seats either. To merely call Via Carota busy would be an understatement. This restaurant—decorated like an Italian farmhouse—serves uniformly exceptional dishes like cacio e pepe, fried rabbit, and svizzerina. If you don’t snag one of the limited reservations available 30 days out, it might be several hours until you’re seated—quite possibly next to someone who won an Oscar last year.
