Sodini's

OMG! A great ssmple of Italian hospitality and cuisine. 👨‍🍳 Due to the long wait, they comped me an extra glass of wine. This place rarely has available seating but I chose to sit outside under a heat lamp which helped to keep the cold at bay. The starter salad was well seasoned and the Parmigiana was perfectly seasoned.

Very busy restaurant. Lots of locals. A lot of the guests I saw walking in shook hand with the Maître D which is always a good sign. Seevice was really fast and friendly. I ordered the totellini carbonara. They tasted great although they were not carbonara: there is no cream and mushroom in a carbonara! I was a bit disappointed by that because their signage claim they have been open for over 100 years…

Home. That is how I would describe Sodini's. We were seated quickly, the bread and water arrived shortly thereafter. We scrambled to make our decisions and the waitress sensed our rush. She then sat down with us and began to talk with us about why we were there and our timing. Then said, no need to rush, the table is yours. Let's order some drinks and then we will work on dinner!!! Holy smokes, did that just happen?! Her recommendations were fantastic, the service was impeccable and the overall evening was a smashing success! Did I already say the food was amazing?!!! We were there on July 4th with our 2 daughters. Can't wait to go back. Make sure you have the tortellini carbonara, the Veal and an Elizabeth Taylor (cocktail). Absolutely incredible!!!!

Ignore the garbage review from two weeks ago. Yes there is a credit card charge of 4%, but it is clearly stated in multiple places and on the front of the menu. If the reviewer found the food so unacceptable, did they mention even trying to resolve it with the kitchen? It smacks more of a spiteful hit piece. The food and drinks are excellent and the atmosphere is dark, intimate, and authentic - very old school. The staff are exceptional and went above to help us celebrate our daughter’s 20th birthday.

The tortallini carbonara was delicious! Creamy mushroom sauce was very flavorful. The tortallini was cooked well, mostly even texture throughout. Next time will definitely try the gnocchi. Great outdoor patio dining area. They have all these cute little grape fairy lights hanging above you. Jazz piano playing at the gallery across the street. Very nice ambiance. Didn't get to sit inside the restaurant but the front entrance gushed with lively energy from inside

Seafood linguini was delicious. Pasta carbonara was rich and yummy. The rack of lamb was overcooked and bland. The wonderful server seeing my dismay sent it back. The second try was better, but still not worth the $44 price. The pesto pasta was ok but nothing special. House salad and Caesar salad were both good. Authentic American Italian feel.

Love the food. We had pasta and was of good quality. I would have more tomato sauce on linguini with meatballs but they were tasty nonetheless. Shame they do not offer puddings though. Service was attentive, friendly and fast. Love the decor. Would go back for some good Italian food. We spent $60 for water, glass of wine, bread and two pasta dishes.
