    Cappuccino
    Ashley J.

    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.

    Gnocchi

    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!

    Tiramisu

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!

    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

    Vegan Pepperoni Pizza
    Arlene N.

    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.

    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.

    Corn Pop
    Anthony P.

    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!

    Applejack old fashioned $18 with pear salad $17 in the background

    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.

    Does a 3:00 pm seating still get you the brunch deal? I know their hours says brunch ends at 3 pm but I wanted to make sure.

    Yes. Last seating for brunch is 3pm. Our social brunch is available 11-3pm Saturday and Sunday.

    Does the entire party have to be there to be seated?

    Yes

    Would bringing your parents and family here for a Mother's Day brunch be a bad idea? Does it get too rowdy that it's hard to hear people?

    No this place is great for Mother's Day! It's very pretty and it gets loud but not rowdy. You can definitely still hear someone across the table.

    What is the brunch atmosphere like? Do they offer private dining room options?

    I did not see a private room. In the entrance there's the bar with a small set which is more intimate I suppose (where I sat) and in the back is a larger space with many tables louder atmosphere, typical city brunch scene.

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor.
