I Sodi is the long-celebrated ristorante Toscano established in 2008 by Chef Rita Sodi. I Sodi draws inspiration from the small family farm where Sodi grew up, just north of Florence. Almost everything the family ate came from the farm – prosciutto, salami, vegetables, olive oil – and the preparation and enjoyment of meals was a sacred ritual. This history forms the guiding ethos of I Sodi, where the preservation of tradition, time-honored methods, and the integrity of ingredients matter above all.Over the years, I Sodi has garnered widespread acclaim for the understated elegance of its cooking. As a self-taught chef, Sodi won the 2019 James Beard Award for Best Chef, NYC, alongside wife and partner Jody Williams. I Sodi is located at the corner of Bleecker and Grove Streets, a stone’s throw from the chefs’ other beloved restaurants: Via Carota, The Commerce Inn, Buvette, and Bar Pisellino. I Sodi welcomes guests for dinner every night and for Saturday and Sunday lunch – in the dining room, at the bar, and in the flagstone garden off Grove Street.
