Max Soha 8.1
Morningside Heights
Vibes: Date Night Magic Comfort Food Classics Outdoor Dining Oasis Hidden Gems Heaven
Max Soha is a Morningside Heights Italian spot where twinkle-lit sidewalk seating and a compact dining room make it a softer, more casual date choice. Regulars use it for first or second dates over bruschetta, pastas, and affordable wine that doesn’t require a big-night-out budget.
Must-Try Dishes: Bruschetta al pomodoro, Lamb ragù with spaghetti, Housemade gnocchi
