Last Updated: February 2026

Our Top Pick
Lure Fishbar
Yacht-like SoHo dining room pairing raw bar, sushi, and glitzy seafood classics.

Notable Picks

$$$ Little Italy Seafood
Lure Fishbar is a subterranean SoHo seafood and sushi restaurant styled like a sleek yacht, with a deep raw bar, polished nigiri, and indulgent mains like lobster mac and cheese. It draws fashion and media crowds for celebratory dinners, power sushi at the bar, and late-night shellfish platters.
Must-Try Dishes: Lobster Mac and Cheese, Hellfire Roll, Crispy Sushi Rice with Spicy Tuna
What makes it special: Yacht-like SoHo dining room pairing raw bar, sushi, and glitzy seafood classics.
$$$ Little Italy Seafood
A Little Italy institution that does red-sauce Italian through a seafood lens—calamari, clams, mussels, and old-school plates that reward ordering like a regular. Keep it classic, keep it paced, and treat it as a nostalgic seafood-Italian stop rather than a modern, technique-driven fish house.
Must-Try Dishes: Fried calamari, Clams (in-house preparations), Mussels (classic Italian style)
What makes it special: A long-running Little Italy seafood-Italian institution (since 1972).
