Popular in Soho: Italian Restaurants with Blue Awnings and Al Fresco Dining

Italian restaurants with blue awnings and al fresco dining must be all the rage right now in Soho. How else to explain the fact that on a recent Wednesday afternoon, two such restaurants were open and doing steady business? First, there’s Mezzogiorno. According to their website, “Executive Chef Alessandro Gargani serves a seasonal menu of both classic and innovative dishes.” Specialties include Il "Classico" Vitello Tonnato ($22).

Next up: Savore. Their menu offers “Renaissance era Italian cuisine, and a superb wine list with over 220 labels.” Specialties include Tuscan treats like Manzo Beef Medallions with Porcini Sauce, Potato, String Beans and Spinach ($29).

Who can say if others will follow in their footsteps and open similar Italian restaurants with blue awnings and al fresco dining in Soho. But for now, the corner of Sullivan and Spring Street has two Italian restaurants with blue awnings and al fresco dining.
