Roscioli: Rome’s Legendary Salumeria Comes to SoHo
Roscioli is the first international outpost of Rome’s legendary Roscioli Salumeria con Cucina near Campo de’ Fiori, planted on the corner of MacDougal and King in SoHo. Upstairs is a casual alimentari packed with imported Italian goods, salumi and cheeses; downstairs is a cave-like wine cellar running a prepaid tasting-menu ‘Feast.’ Time Out named it the best Italian restaurant in NYC for 2025, and the carbonara lives up to the Rome pedigree.
This is a wine lover’s and pasta lover’s destination, with a pantry of hundreds of cheeses and cured meats and a sommelier-led Italian list that’s the real reason many people book. Reservations are famously tough: they drop 30 days out at 10 AM and popular nights can vanish in under a minute, with a strict prepaid, cancellation-fee model. It’s a splurge and a planning exercise, but for Roman classics and great wine it’s one of the most talked-about tables downtown.
What to Expect
Roscioli does not offer a happy hour. The model is a prepaid prix-fixe ‘Feast’ served in the downstairs wine cellar plus an a la carte alimentari upstairs, both full price and centered on Roman cooking and wine. There are no drink specials or discounted hours; the value is in the food, the salumi and cheese counter, and the deep Italian wine list.
The Room
Two concepts in one building: a casual ground-floor alimentari with an open kitchen and imported Italian goods, and a cave-like subterranean wine cellar seating about 40 for the tasting menu.
