The 15 Best Italian Restaurants in SoHo, New York (2024)

John Ruvolo:Introduce yourself to Davide - (if he doesn't beat you to it) Scallops, Calamari to start. Chestnut flour Gnocchi were great and the Rabbit Angel Hair pasta. Just go.

lovethesecities.com:Great addition to the neighbourhood. Not just another Italian! Authentic Piedmont cuisine. Friendly service and a quaint modern space. Squash blossom, veal tonnato and scallops were all very good.

Ana T:Truffles and surprisingly good beef tartar

Shivan:A divine brunch experience! Great ordering options are: Trofie al Ragu di Angello, Buratta, French toast. For dessert, try Gianduia (mousse, hazelnut sponge, wafer & cream, milk chocolate glaze).

EArchitect:Delicious Italian food. Looking for delicious and healthy? This place has both. The Tartare di Tonno is amazing - sushi-grade yellow fin tuna with avocado. Need carbs? Try the Linguine alle Vongole.

Jen Bekman:The UES came to Soho. You'll never believe what happened next.

Tosca Reno:Another family favorite is Cipriani Downtown on West Broadway. They do an avocado + greens salad that is nearly spiritual to eat. Their green linguine with pesto and a side of grilled salmon is divine

Gunsel Ulku:One of the Best of World ;) Best Bellini in town 👌

Esin Karakaya:Everybody rocks! And the best Bellini I've ever had! 😍

Chad Horner:Charlie Bird is a hip restaurant, but in a welcoming, unintimidating way. for brunch I highly recommend the farro salad, and the patio seating if the weather is cooperating!

The New Yorker:“The food is comforting, with some ingenious additions, like uni in a creamy duck-egg spaghetti, and mint and pistachios in a lemony farro salad.” Read more.

Lockhart Steele:Get the fluke (every time), Knife and Fork salad (almost certainly), pasta special (if it sounds proper) and then roll from there. Bird is the word.

Caroline Schulweis:All the pastas were great. Especially loved the lasagne. Portions on the smaller side. Full bar and good Italian wine selection.

Todd Hanshaw:Great food and ambience - enjoyed it a lot

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant:Love this restaurant. Excellent vibe and good food.

hania albraikan:Excellent service and the food was good. The menu is different than the one in antibes. We ordered arugula salad and melanzanie pizza margarita and arrabbiata👌🏼

Raphael Langenscheidt:Two words: Truffle Ravioli. This place is the b-o-m-b. Wonderful service and really friendly dancing waiters, great wine list and awesome vibe. Great music. Skip the burger though - it's too too much.

Ana Zawacki:Truffle raviolini is heaven

Niji J.:So rare to find a vegetarian lasagna. This one is delicate and delicious.

Jack Gashi:Awesome bar/resto. Versatile. Can read a book outside and have a Campari, or dinner with a group of 4, or a date at the bar. Hidden but welcoming.

Jessica A:I think I'm in love with this place. It's kinda underground. Go here on a date or with a friend. Get any dish with meatballs and def get the fennel side!

Marianna Fierro:The Amatriciana eggs are to die for. Get the fennel salad too!

Charlottes:A new fave. We shared so many yummy dishes, I don't think you can go wrong. Their slightly sweet Bloody Mary is outstanding!

Staff Picks:See why this Italian and Mediteranian restaurant is on our Trending This Week list when you come in and try the seafood crudo and the chicken milanese. Read more.

Hunter Powell:Waiters stand by and watch you eat but worth it, tortellini pesto is so good

naveen:one of the first places i ever went to in nyc when i first moved here. i love their great pastas and they have an incredible lunch special

William H:Broader menu than you'd expect to find at an adorable Italian place. Took a girl here on a first date that kicked off a three-year relationship, so there's that - your mileage may vary.

Tom Powell:Scrumptious brunch. Great coffee. Crabmeat Eggs Benedict with Avocado.

Olivia Oran:Braised lamb special if they have it! And spinach papardelle

Tristan:"Everyday from 5-7pm at Aurora Soho puts out platters of snacks including puff pastries with tomato paste, flatbreads, and cookies." - eater.com

Eduardo Ezquerro:Real italian cuccina, the place is tiny but at the heart of SoHo, highly recommended, try the swordfish with bufala mozzarella

Juan Canas:Awesome hidden jewel in the heart of SOHO!!! Great food! Cozy little place for select food lovers. Try the bruschetta with salmon. Unforgettable tastes!

Luke Kelly-Clyne:Sam Biddle has never really had a taste for calamari (he's my best friend and we've eaten calamari together many times). I thought it was divine. Pasta was so so. Overall, worth a look and a taste!

Noah Weiss:The 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings for $130 is a great experience and value. The pasta, of course, steaks the show.

Matteo P.:One of the best Italian restaurants in NYC - and definitely the #1 for Roman food.

Jasmine D:Painfully overrated. Pastas we’re straight-up bad.

Emily Hymes:Bar like atmosphere and great pizza! Also loved the meatball sliders and truffle rice balls.

Cameron Gidari:Really love their pizza. The Romeo, Pietro, Cecelia, and Cesare are all great choices.

Matthew Spector:Great fresh and inventive pizzas, particularly the cecelia - ricotta, pine nut, cinnamon - and beet salad. A solid Hudson Square spot.

Ekrem Edip:Simply love it. The meal is good, music is good too. That's all what i need...

Cover:Classic italian done right. The Mad Calamari smothered in spicy marinara is a MUST. Go with the penne w/ vodka sauce or carbonara and you'll leave happy. Pay with cover and skip waiting for the check!

Ally Grinfeld:Get the galli salad you won't be disappointed

Jasmine Mehrabi:Really good gnocchi with lobster. Husband’s steak was juicy and potatoes were good. Great service and decor.

Emilia Allonso:Delicious home made pasta (got the tagliatelle ragu) and the charcuterie plate was great to share.

Tonie Wan:Great little hidden gem. Dishes celebrate the purity of the ingredients. Service was amazing, including a sommelier who recommended the best pairings. Get in before it’s “discovered”!
