MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Manhattan has no shortage of Italian restaurants, but surely Rita Sodi runs two of the most beloved ones. Just down the street from Via Carota, this cozy, buzzy hotspot remains a difficult reservation to score so consider planning on an early-hour walk-in. The kitchen watches the seasons closely in daily specials like grilled tomato and burrata, while also respecting that some signatures can never leave the menu. The perfectly layered lasagna is a must for first timers, and it contrasts wonderfully with a citrusy tangle of pappardelle al limon. Regardless of where you sit – bar, dining room, or further back – the neighborhood restaurant is a constant hive of activity, fueled in part by a busy bar that knows its way around a Negroni.
