"If your happy place is your future retirement estate in Tuscany - or really anywhere it would be acceptable to live on a diet of pasta alone - have your big dinner at I Sodi. Gone are the days of sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers along the bar at this West Village spot. Now, you can comfortably eat the very best Italian food in the city on a quiet block in the West Village without bumping a stranger when reaching for your wine." - Hannah Albertine, Nikko Duren
