Lively SoHo trattoria serving crowd-pleasing pasta, pizza, and seafood at fair prices, with standout squid ink seafood pasta—strong value, but space is tight and service policies can feel rigid.
Il Corallo Trattoria delivers reliable Italian dining with strong food quality anchored by its signature squid ink seafood pasta and attentive, knowledgeable service. However, inconsistent pasta execution and a serious food safety concern prevent a higher grade, while the cramped seating limits overall appeal despite attractive SoHo location. Worth visiting for value and seafood specialties, though not a destination establishment.
One caveat: Seating policy requires complete parties; some guests felt unwelcome when arriving early
