Since they wanted to delete my Google Review.. here It is for YELP Well... happy pride. Came with a party of 12 and understanding it will be a busy day. Seated on the top area and ordered bottomless and had one drink... we waited 30mins to order and then never got another round after 90 mins... the best part was the plastic that was in my friends food. My friend asked for the manager and he ignored him and sent a server... totally inconsiderate and didn't give a **** about our table as every other table was being served . From messing up and missing part of the orders... DONT COME HERE! ... read more

Via 13 - Lobster and Plastic - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

It's a good rule of thumb when deciding on restaurant choices, that a place that serves a bottomless brunch option is generally going to have food that is not the best. Another is, if an establishment has a lot of open reservation slots on Friday night that falls on a three day weekend. This is one of those places. The space is beautiful and large, with lots of room for large parties and the wood fired pizza with broccoli rabe cream, mushrooms and sliced potatoes was great. That's about where it ends. Had the most expensive and worst tiramisu of my life here ($16 dollars for something served in a glass!) and it was honestly downhill from the first $22 mediocre cocktail. I 100% do not object to paying $22 for a cocktail but I'm expecting it to be good. Just live with the possible ambiguity and suspense of possibly not having a reservation on a Friday night. On the bright side, this would be a good place to bring a large party of over 10 people as long as you stick to the pizzas. read more

Via 13 - Broccoli Rabe pizza - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Very average. Was able to get a Saturday lunch reservation last minute and sit outside last minute no problem. Brought the dogs which was nice. Their one hour bottomless drinks for $25 is a great deal. The menu had a good mix of pizza and pasta to choose from. The pizza we chose was just OK but the cavatelli was pretty good. Service was mediocre. Took forever to get menus and to pay our bill. read more

Good spot for dinner! My friend had her birthday dinner here and we shared a few entrees! Everything was good and the service was great! We shared a few drinks and out of everything my favorite was probably the gnocchi and the prosciutto arugula pizza! read more

Sotto 13 is an Italian restaurant in West Village with sophisticated atmosphere, excellent service and quality dishes and drinks. The dining room has a high ceiling window, which allows sunlight to shine through at daytime. Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot for romantic date night, friend/family gathering or weekend brunch. Shoutout to our server Helder--he was attentive and friendly throughout the dinner. ＊Grilled Octopus $22** The tenderness of the octopus won our heart. The outer was well-grilled with a slight crispy, while the inside was still bouncy and tender. The green tomato vinaigrette was a great sauce to dip into. We also enjoyed the roasted herb potato on the side. ＊Yellow Fin Tuna Tartare $21* A refreshing and appetizing antipasti. The fresh tuna cubes created a harmonious flavor with mashed avocado on the bottom. It was delicious to eat with the toasted garlic bread. ＊Hanger Steak $42*** Star of the show was definitely the hanger steak. The steak was cooked to perfection with a nice pinkish center and charred edges. It was served with a porcini mushroom sauce and roasted potato. Every element on the plate hit the mark, except the broccoli rabe was a tad salty for my liking. ＊Orecchiette Pugliese $28 They rotate the pasta menu based on seasonal ingredients. Our server recommended orecchiette pugliese, which was tossed with italian sausage, broccoli rabe, sun-dried tomato and parmigiano. The ear-shaped pasta held up the sauce beautifully. The flavors grew on us after a few more bites and we devoured it. ＊Tiramisu $12 I really liked the fluffy and airy texture of the mascarpone cheese. I wished the ratio of mascarpone cheese and ladyfingers were more balanced. read more

My partner and I agreed, the most refreshing and amazing Italian meal we've ever had! If you're looking for a refreshing take on Italian food that's not overly heavy, then this is definitely the place. We had the pan seared scallops, the orecchiette pugliese and the octopus and they were all extremely well made and balanced. It still has those Italian notes with the acidity and strong flavors but it was complimented well with their use of greens that made for a uniquely refreshing experience read more

Bad wine. Glasses were very thick. Food was not good expect for the pizza. Servers were nice, but a bit slow. Overall, there are much better places around here. Ambiance is not bad read more

Super cute date night spot in the West Village! We enjoyed a delicious meal of Italian-inspired cuisine where everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly! We left full and so satisfied and loved the ambiance! We Tried: *Mussels - shrimp, octopus, tomato sauce, tuscan bread *Hanger steak - marble potatoes, broccolini, brandy green peppercorn *Octopus - roasted mushrooms, white beans, bell pepper, swiss chard *Creme Brûlée So good! Add this spot to your list if you haven't already! read more

Finally made it here for brunch but were a tad disappointed. Maybe it's because we opted for a la carte instead of the social brunch menu that seems to be the most popular? The calamari was definitely a surprise, as it tasted like a Chinese dish instead of Italian. It was good, just unexpected. Another - but this time unpleasant - surprise was the crispy prosciutto pizza... The prosciutto was so crispy that it was basically super thin bacon. Just... why??? The French toast special they had that day was very good though. The restaurant is beautiful with a nice sky ceiling. Great for large groups. Service was also very accommodating. read more

Came here at like 2pm for brunch on Saturday and it was relatively quiet in here. The spade was nice but the restrooms took forever! We ordered a pizza, drinks, pasta, and salad to share and everything was honestly pretty good, no complaints. My friend originally complained about the pizza not looking the way we would have thought and they immediately rectified it and ended up comping us the pizza. They really care about the customer and I appreciated that. No complaints here! read more

My friends and I came here for the brunch option on the weekend. Note that everyone is supposed to participate in their family style meal that comes with alcohol. They were kind enough to allow an exception for us so half our party did the family style and the other half ordered a la carte, but don't bank on that happening! Everything was honestly soo delicious and the experience was super fun! They give a LOT of food. We definitely had leftovers. I would say the only dish we didn't care for was the Quinoa Bowl. It was good, but just not as exciting as all the other items. Overall, great place! read more

Honestly this place was good but not five star worthy. I feel like the food was good, but the service wasn't the best as we were met with unwelcoming service and our server kept dropping plates and dishes around us. One person in our party had a fork fall onto his back and he held it out so that someone would take it away lol. Not a terrible spot, but there's definitely better restaurants that I would rather go to around here read more

4 stars They have an upfront bar and small seating area for happy hour, last-minute seat Back room has large dining area with booths, tables. Even though it's a large room the booths feel secluded and offer privacy Service was great Despite not having a large menu they do offer a lot of variety. We like the lamb Ragu. The octopus was okay. The avocado was interesting and dish didn't need it. read more

The food was excellent but I wish they had a few more classic dishes instead of trying to be overly creative. Simpler is always better. The first thing I noticed when we arrived was the loud music. I was hoping it wouldn't be so loud in the dining room, but unfortunately it was and it was very difficult to have conversation with my friend. The music was club dance music, not the kind of music I like to eat too. Unfortunately, I won't be going back for that reason mainly. read more

I could not believe their vegan pepperoni pizza was vegan it was amazing! The cheese was perfectly melted.. I have no idea what vegan cheese they use but it was perfect! Love the vibes here. Great service and friendly staff. Will definitely be back. read more

Think we lost track of how many times I exclaimed, "wow - this is so good!" ... because it was! Excellent dining experience at Sotto! We arrived on a Sunday night circa 8pm for NYC Restaurant Week, no reservation. We were promptly seated by a very friendly host! The space was beautiful and trendy. Everything we ordered was great! We started off with an Aperol Spritz and a Naughty Girl cocktail (oooh-la-la!). We continued with the octopus (fabulous!!!) and tuna tartare appetizers. Our mains consisted of the prosciutto pizza and the absolute piece de resistance - the lamb ragu rigatoni. Wow! We could have each gotten our own Finally, we had the crème brûlée which was fantastic as well as the Nutella/chocolate dessert balls. The service was also on point and very friendly! Overall, highly recommend and looking forward to going back again. read more

Was not blown away. We went with a party of 7 for restaurant week, which we celebrate like a holiday. When we arrived they didn't give us the restaurant week menu. They first tried to tell us they weren't honoring that day, but after looking around and seeing our co-dinners were enjoying, we exclaimed "but that's why we are here." After some fuss they told us they could accommodate us. Not sure what that was about but seems they were trying to make more money off the table. Unfortunately their photos of food are clearly AI generated and bear no resemblance to what they service. The food was mediocre. In fact my friends burger was practically raw the pasta was too al dente, cold, and lacking salt. They did not provide salt and pepper. The Cesar was good. Will not be going back and do not recommend. read more

RATING: 7.3/10 I will say that the service is outstanding here. Really felt welcomed - right when I walked in, I think either the manager or owner was there greeting me and he continued to check in on our table throughout the night (we're really no one special, and it was our first time). The service gets a 10/10 The food was good too - notably the OCTOPUS appetizer was really delicious, had a nice crisp char and the best texture to it. Really fresh tasting and great job to the chefs because octopus is really easy to overcook and make tough as a result. TUNA TARTARE - was solid too, although because there's so much of these dishes in the city it's hard to stand out. I think that while we enjoyed it, it would benefit from a crispy component to pair with. CORN POP (COCKTAIL) - this was really delicious - if you like sour its got that nice lemony sweet and sourness while also having this sweet creaminess from the corn. A highlight of the evening for me as someone who likes all these things. CAVATELLI - silly me was trying to be too healthy and I didn't -love- this but I think because it's the healthier veggie forward option. But I will say the pasta was really good texture-wise: al dente with a really satisfying chew. My friends got the veal pasta and it was delicious! read more

Celebrated a friend's birthday here with a party of 6 on a Saturday evening with reservations at 6:30pm. The restaurant was about 60-70% full by then, with reserved tables filling up the back area seating as dinner wore on. There's outdoor covered seating for about 12-14 people directly at the entrance, though it was a bit chilly so no one was seated there when we arrived. Right inside there's a bar to the left with bar seats and seating at high tables to the right. The back of the restaurant with sky lights set into high ceilings has a more formal feel. Food was quite good, decent appetizers, quality pasta and main dishes, and from feedback of the diners at our table everyone enjoyed the food. We ordered the arancini $18, pear salad $17, Di Parma pizza $25, spaghetti carbonara $27, pork osso buco $35, linguine clams $28, gnocchi with lamb sausage $29, broccolini $12, chocolate almond cake $12, and several drinks. They provide focaccia and olive oil for the table. Being Italian food it does tend to get quite heavy considering at carbs, olive oil, cheese, but the food didn't come off as greasy, I think because they used good olive oil. Service was terrific, very attentive and knowledgeable since a few people in our party had food sensitivities. Overall solid spot for an Italian meal. read more

To our server, Alessio: Thank you for reminding us that dining out isn't just about food--it's about connection. Your dedication, kindness, and flair for hospitality make Sotto 13 a destination, not just a restaurant. You're a true maestro of service, and we're already counting down the days until our next visit! *Grazie mille* read more

It's been a long time since I've been here, last time was pre-covid, but every time I come here it reminds me why it is one of my favorite brick oven pizza places in the city! Great for a date night or girls night out, the place seems small & intimate in the front but has a huge back room that still has this romantic feel. Started with the Burrata appetizer, the corn loaf is an odd choice for burrata but a solid app. For pizza a friend & I shared a Shroom pizza. The mushrooms & truffle oil go so well together. I love the fluffy dough with a solid crust but to take this pizza to the next level add the house made chili oil. Amazing! I want to buy a jug of it. Can't wait to come back! read more

My friends and I are regulars at Sotto 13 and go there about once a month on Sunday nights. We attend church together in a gay affirming church in the west village and have a lot of experience with restaurants in the area. There are many we went to once but decided not to go back to. We've gotten to know several spots in the area and Sotto 13 is one of our favorites that we keep coming back to again and again. In general, we really like the food. A few of the recent negative reviews seem off base to me, and do not describe what we consistently experience, and why we keep coming back on Sunday nights. There are several unique advantages to Sotto 13. First of all, it's a great restaurant for a larger group. There have these big circular tables in the back that make for such a pleasant dining experience for a group of 6-8. My friends really like the pizzas. The toppings are high quality, and the crust is always perfect in its crunch consistently. On days when I count my macros and stay away from carbs at night, I like to get the salmon or chicken dish. It's flavorful and tasty. When I cheat and get pasta, I really enjoy their cacio e pepe, or their orechiette pugliese. Several Italian men from my church regularly join me for dinner at Sotto 13.One is from Brescia. The other is from Puglia. They both find the food at Sotto 13 more authentic than most Italian restraunts. It's one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood and definitely in the hidden gem category. Alessio has been a wonderful server to us on many evenings. And we look forward to seeing him on Sunday nights. read more

A wonderful place known for its outstanding pizza, and the experience was mostly delightful. The pizza was a highlight, featuring a perfectly crisp crust and flavorful toppings. The espresso martini was a standout, with a rich, balanced flavor that paired wonderfully with the meal. For dessert, the crème brûlée was delicious--creamy and with a perfectly caramelized top. However, the service was a bit slow, likely due to the restaurant being busy on a weekday. I really can't blame people because the price was amazing due to restaurant week. Despite the wait, the overall experience was positive, with the quality of the food and good friends. read more

We were looking for an Italian dinner and this restaurant did not disappoint. Upon entering, we were greeted by friendly staff. We felt welcomed by the open, warm, and appealing decor and ambiance. We didn't realize it was Restaurant Week when we made the reservation. The portions provided were delicious and generous. We both took home leftovers to share with family. The beet salad was tasty, and the Nutella donut holes were pure comfort food. I enjoyed the Parma pizza but would have enjoyed it even more if it had more sauce and more cheese. The fusili with mushrooms did not come with chicken, so we ordered extra grilled chicken for a slight upcharge. It was flavorful and yummy. We will definitely return with additional diners. read more

Really yum food and great service! We had the shroom pizza and that was one of the best pizzas ever. Would definitely recommend it. I also had the pear salad but wasn't quite impressed with it. It didn't have much flavor or any real dressing at such. Literally greens mixed with tiny pieces of pear and sprinkled with feta cheese. read more

We came back here with our daughter who started her first year at NYU. The wait staff was super nice, so I hate saying anything negative, but I just didn't think the food or wine (no organic or biodynamic or natural wines on the entire menu) are that great. To make matters worse, it was SUPER expensive. The biggest disappointment was the Pappardelle al Ragù di Cinghiale e Tartufo Nero (Slow-braised wild boar and black truffle ragù, pecorino cloud), which was bland at best. Two of us got it and at $45.00 each, it just was not worth it AT ALL. I would come back, because the atmosphere and everyone were so nice, but I think I would stick to the pizza. read more

pretty good! The service was good, cute place. We all tried and shared the shroom pizza, di parma pizza, the fusilli pasta dish and the arancini. we were 4 of us and it was a good amount of food. The pizza was thin and crunchier which I liked (so it's not napolitan style) better. We had the limoncello creme brûlée and tiramisu for dessert and probably next time I'll pass on dessert. but still nice to try. they are still working out some kinks if you decide to pay by QR code on the receipt (I'd recommend doing a a different way bc we had to wait a while in the end). thanks! read more

Sotto 13 is an italian-inspired restaurant in a historic brownstone building in the heart of West Village. Food was amazing and staff were very attentive.

I went for brunch and wanted to do a la carte but it turns out that they only allow the bottomless/shared brunch option now.

Overall was a little underwhelmed. read more

This was so amazing! Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Good atmosphere and nice staff.

Good but sort of forgettable Italian spot - to be fair though, in a city with so many amazing Italian restaurants it's pretty hard to stand out! We went here for dinner and shared a salad, pizza and pasta - I was wanting to do another appetizer initially but I'm glad we didn't because that was plenty of food! Everything was pretty good but I think the pasta had a slight edge over the pizza - you could definitely tell it was fresh pasta, which I love! I'm glad we were able to sneak in without a reservation on a Friday evening - because of this, we were seated in the front near the bar instead of in the main dining room in the back. It was surprisingly sort of quiet by the bar, but the main dining area seemed pretty lively - I would recommend making a reservation in advance so you can be seated there! The service was good, and I think overall that it's probably a reliable spot if you live close by but in this city with endless dining options it's not necessarily someplace I'd return to or go out of my way for! read more

The interior looks small but is quite spacious in the back making it a perfect spot for a date night or group visit. The service is friendly and welcoming. The sotto spritz and the chai old fashion were both a little too sweet that we wouldn't order it again. However, the food was delicious and more than made up for the sweet drinks. We ordered orecchiette pugliese and the fussili and both were very well made with a careful balance of ingredients that made every bite satisfying. We highly recommend this place. read more

Solid place for Italian food! Was able to get a reservation for 5 fairly easily for a Saturday night. I got the pomodoro pasta and the cacio e Pepe. The pomodoro was good, found it to lack a bit of salt but it tasted really really fresh. The cacio e Pepe was the star! So perfectly cooked and the sauce had the perfect balance of cheese and pepper. Would come back just for the cacio e pepe! Overall, a very solid place to satisfy your Italian craving. read more
