One of the best kept secret date spots in NYC…

After a couple of weeks of working ridiculously late and therefore having less than ideal togetherness time, Justin and I went on an impromptu date last Thursday. We braved the bitter cold to dine out at one of our favorite local restaurants, a hidden gem in Greenwich Village squeezed in-between the seedy sex shops and gemstones dealers: I Sodi.

I Sodi serves delicious Italian food in a tiny, cozy but clean atmosphere. Our favorite dishes are the artichoke salad, the homemade tagliatelle and the whole branzino roasted with capers. I, ever the purist eater, also recommend the simple mixed green salad. Even I Sodi’s bread and olive oil are of the utmost quality. And the restaurant’s jumbo green olives are not to be missed.

Bon appetit,

P.S. Near I Sodi is Il Cantuccio, another relatively unknown spot with the best biscotti in the city.
