Rita Sodi is chef and owner of the ever-popular I Sodi and co-chef/owner with Jody Williams of Via Carota, the gastroteca that is inspired by her 17th-century country house in the hills near Florence. Sodi’s low-key, utterly traditional and perfectly executed Tuscan food has been featured in The New Yorker, the Village Voice, New York Magazine and The New York Times.

Jody and Rita’s much-anticipated Pisellino opens December 2018.
