Wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas, burrata, salads, and desserts
"As long as you like pizza, Sottocasa is the kind of neighborhood spot that works well for any kind of night in Harlem—a date with someone you met at the grocery store, dinner with visiting family, or just one of those Thursdays that calls for a $38 bottle of wine within walking distance of your bed. The menu mainly consists of Neapolitan pies with charred crusts, wet centers and topping variations like brussels sprouts and speck. They also do gluten-free pies, salads, and calzones, and make a great negroni sbagliato here—as well as at Pastitalia, their pasta restaurant across the street." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah
"The chewy-but-not-soggy crust makes the Neapolitan pies at Sottocasa some of our favorites in Harlem. Order on their website or call 646-928-4870." - team infatuation
"Pizza is the natural fuel for a big night out, and Sottocasa is the best place in the area for a sit-down slice of Neapolitan pie. This subterranean spot in a brownstone is big and family friendly, while still being casually polished, with affordable bottles of Italian wine and interesting Italian beers. Get 0.75 pies per person and a couple of fresh leafy salads to share." - sonal shah, kenny yang, willa moore
"Located on the ground floor of a brownstone in Harlem, Sottocasa is our go-to Neapolitan pizza spot uptown. It’s spacious, with a bar up front, a large room full of wooden tables, and a second, smaller dining room past an area with a blazing pizza oven. The exposed brick walls and gleaming wine bottles make this place nice enough for a low-key date night, while the kids’ drawings hanging around, and chatter between the Italian family that owns this place, make it casual enough for a meal with the folks, or a catch-up with friends over smooth, $12 negroni sbagliatos. photo credit: Noah Devereaux photo credit: Sonal Shah photo credit: Noah Devereaux Pause Unmute This ideal neighborhood restaurant has some cheese and charcuterie on the menu, and a few crisp, leafy salads in glass bowls, but mostly they just focus on making satisfying red and white pies, all wet in the middle and charred around the edges. (They also have a pasta spot across the street.) We like the Autunno pizza with brussels sprouts and speck, and the Bufalotta with prosciutto and arugula, but you can’t really go wrong. Sottocasa also has gluten-free pizzas and a couple of calzones, a list of yeasty Italian beers, and bottles of wine from $38. The pies come out fast, and disappear fast, which means that by the time they ask you if you want dessert, your brain might not yet have caught up with your stomach yet, and you might just say yes. But you won’t regret getting that tiramisu, or tartufo, or lemon sorbet, even after your brain finally reminds you that it’s just Tuesday night, and time to go to bed." - Sonal Shah
