Sofì hits the spot with cheap, tasty Neapolitan street food like rustic panino napoletano, a doughy roll stuffed with cheese and salami. Other options include involtini, pizza wraps filled with combos like salsiccia e friarielli (pork sausage and bitter Neapolitan greens). You'll also find proper Neapolitan pizzas, not to mention cold beer in the self-service fridge.
A few doors down at number 32 is sibling venue Sofì Restaurant DjBar, a popular spot for late-night cocktails and revelry.
