- JJoseNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoExcellent service, the place super confortable. It looks new, shiny and spacious . The service was fast and accurate. My 6 years old grand daughter order by herself and everything comes as requested. And incredible calzone was served and my palate was in extasis. The girl was really happy and ended her food in a second . I don’t like the Italian diet cola , that’s the only thing that I can complain about. Desserts are really good also and the prices were also affordable .More infoEataly SohoPrice: Moderate• Italian• SoHo•4.3

Discover Little Italy
While New Yorkers usually don’t frequent Little Italy, there are old country gems that aren’t overpriced or overrun with tourists. Head to the outskirts of the neighborhood to find the best in Italian eats of all varieties—classic brick oven pizza, clam houses, mom-and-pop shops slinging chicken farm, and more. From buzzing bistros where Obama and Lenny Kravitz are VIPs to casual delis making timeless hero sandwiches, there’s a lot to taste in these historic blocks. Just remember to save room for a cannoli or other dessert of la dolce vita.
