"What It Is: The new Soho version of an UES Italian restaurant that was big in the 90s Perfect For: Lunch The original Coco Pazzo was on the Upper East Side, and it was a place people loved in the 90s. It just reopened on Prince Street, so we stopped by for lunch and had a couple of pastas, a surprisingly enjoyable quinoa salad, and a sandwich on very good focaccia. And during the day, all of those things (besides the pastas) are available for takeout at the pastry counter in the back of the restaurant. At night, the menu gets a bit fancier, with lots of seafood appetizers and meat-centric entrees. We enjoyed our lunch in the light-filled dining room, and we’ll be back to eat dinner here soon. The Verdict: A solid new option for Italian food in Soho." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Katherine Lewin, Hillary Reinsberg, Chris Stang
