The Black Book

This hideaway on Christopher Street is chef Rita Sodi’s love letter to her native Tuscany. The menu stays true to tradition, featuring expertly crafted antipasti, house-made pastas, and secondi that honor classic Italian cuisine. With its crisp, white tablecloths, warm, convivial atmosphere, and a bar boasting multiple Negroni variations, stepping into I Sodi feels like stepping into Italy itself.

As Pete Wells aptly noted, “I Sodi seems not to have fully assimilated into the United States. It exists in its own extraterritorial jurisdiction, like the headquarters of the United Nations.”
