so(dh)a fa(gh)itu
Explanation:
σόδα - stress the first syllable. The δ is pronounced like the 'th' in the English words 'this' and 'that'.

φαγητού - stress the final syllable. The γ is followed by an 'i' sound, so it becomes soft. The closest equivalent in English is the 'y' in 'yacht' (although any 'y' sound will be understood).

The other letters are pretty much the same as Italian.
