Unlike King, Charlie Bird takes a more traditional approach to Italian food with classic dishes like spaghetti, gnocchi and cacio e pepe. But in modern Soho style, the spaghetti's paired with cauliflower, lemon and anchovy; the gnocchi tossed with ricotta and mint, and the cacio e pepe happens to be rigatoni. The atmosphere is lively, loud and young with a heavy sprinkling of hip-hop bumping on the speakers. If you're looking for a little less panache with your pastas, opt to go during lunch when the music is a bit more muted and the restaurant offers a $32 prix fixe.
