    Vodka pizza
    Nandi S.

    Samantha is a very friendly and excellent waitress-- she does a fantastic job at taking care of you despite the crowded restaurant. -Vodka pizza was 100% amazing, love the sauce but needs extra mozzarella just a tad bit. Otherwise perfect. Loved it fresh and warm. -cacio e pepe: quality of ingredients was there, its a good balance but got dry and cold. I noticed other people ordered rigatoni so will try next. -ambiance is great, servers know their wine. -as an option in Bryant Park, definitely worth the time and money. I unfortunately didn't like how crowded it was, and how it lacked accommodations for last minute drop ins (there should be two tables for two people)-- however that was not in my control, just makes the experience difficult.

    Wow, this place is beautiful and the Pasta is so delicious! While visiting my niece for Thanksgiving in New York. The server was quick and knowledgeable. Recommend this restaurant.

    Campanelle
    Ximena L.

    What struck me most about this location was how friendly the service was. Everything came out really quickly, everyone was incredibly accommodating, and our waitress gave us the most important piece of advice of the meal: always add the burrata. We got the campanelle with burrata, a bright and creamy shrimp pasta (spicier than we expected) which was absolutely delicious. We also had the tagliatelle with burrata, which is a rich bolognese with really deep, savory flavors. The two pastas were very different from each other, and both were excellent. We started with the heirloom tomato appetizer with watermelon and feta, which was super fresh and bright and a great way to start the meal. The restaurant itself is clean, bright, and airy, and combined with the genuinely lovely service, it made for a great weekend lunch date.

    burrata with caramelized apples
    Laura H.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the meal (I wasn't paying so I am blissfully unaware of how much this cost). Highlights included the burrata (super soft and fresh, loved the caramelized apple), the vodka rigatoni (fresh, chewy, and so creamy, but it doesn't beat Il Corallo's), and the tiramisu (absolutely decadent, the marscapone flavor was so strong). Ambience was lovely, as is the case for most nyc italian restaurants. The walls were paneled with mirrors and white/coastal teal wood so it was super relaxing.

    This is a great place for italian food. It has an upscale feel and friendly staff. The white lamb theme is recurring in the decor. We got their garganelli, tagliatelle, and ravioli pastas. For dessert, the iconic tiramisu. Garganelli- This has a nice, arugula pesto sauce that has a rich garlicky finish. It's enhanced with roasted mushrooms and sharp pecorino. Tagliatelle- You get a rich pork and beef bolognese. The house made pasta is cooked to perfection. Pretty satisfying! Ravioli- This is a light, seasonal dish with pumpkin, brown butter, and sage. The sauce complements the sweet pumpkin and the brown butter adds a nuttiness. Tiramisu- This dessert was too cute to eat! It was decorated with a meek looking model of their namesake lamb. Nobody wanted to ruin its face so we slowly ate this from the outside in. The espresso it strong, complemented by the creamy marscapone layers. Textures and flavors were perfectly balanced. Great experience overall!

    I've visited La Pecora Bianca for brunch in Soho a couple years ago and it was memorable. Today's visit at their Bryant Park location was all about catching up with my close friend for lunch. As soon as I entered, I loved the minimalistic, sleek decor. It was packed! I arrived first and the hostess not only accommodated me earlier than our reservation time, but actually showed me to my table without requiring my friend to be present. I always appreciate this gesture which serves as a huge plus for me. When my friend arrived, we placed a twin order for the Spicy Limoncello Margarita. It was knock your socks off delicious. Their menu included a nice variety: from pizza and pasta to salads and mains. Lunch and dinner menu were one in the same. I chose the Chicken Paillard while my friend was in a salad mood which happened to be Farro with Grilled Chicken. If you're watching your waist and are feeling a carb overload, my selection will serve the purpose. It was light (grilled Chicken) topped with Arugula, tomatoes and toasted slivered almonds. It was so light that I finished way before my friend. The portion size was smaller than her grain salad. The salad looked good: copious Farro with grilled chicken and some other goodies, but she was unable to finish it all. Overall, we both enjoyed our selections. I loved the atmosphere, service and food during lunch today. If I didn't have pizza and pasta recently, I would have gone with either. Next time. Noise level was quite loud during prime lunch time since it was so crowded. It subsided a bit later. I definitely recommend.

    Sat downstairs in the library for a slightly quieter evening. Service was excellent. Great menu. Everything we ordered was delicious: fried Brussels sprouts, meatballs, sausage and broccolini pasta, and shrimp pasta. Would return. Great location across from Bryant Park.

    The best brussel sprouts ever
    Selina S.

    I usually find Italian food bland, but this place had delicous food. I had the vodka pasta with the Buratta, and the brussel sprouts. The Brussel sprouts were so good. The flavors were strong and unique. They were sweet, savory, and spicy. The pasta was rich and cheesy and savory. I personally didn't find the buratta added much flavor, but it was nice to try. My friend ordered the whipped ricotta which was pretty good, but not my favorite. We also tried the meatballs. These were quite good. The marinara sauce was well seasoned and the meatballs were soft and juicy with a great flavor. The service was good. Everyone was very kind. It was also a very lovely and beautiful restaurant. The food is pricy, but I found it worth it for the location, food, and ambiance.

    My friend and I were visiting from LA and our hotel the Archer recommended this place for dinner. It's right across from Bryant Park. We loved it so much we went back and second time for dinner. The first night we sat at the bar (it was crowded and we didn't have reservations) and made some friends who recommended Ivan's (the bartender) espresso martinis. Although we were drinking some white wine we decided after finishing those we would try them. Ivan makes them special with a little Bailey's! They were incredible! Like a dessert but not too sweet. Ivan shared his recommendations with us and we had some good conversation. We ordered a pasta dish with shrimp and Brussels salad as well. All very tasty. A couple of nights later we went back and had the rigatoni with red sauce which was phenomenal and our favorite and the Toscana salad, also great. The pastas taste homemade and everything is so fresh, including the bread. We of course ordered espresso martinis again and Ivan thought it might be us again and came by to say hi. He makes the restaurant feel like family! I will definitely be returning to this restaurant in my next visit. It is now my favorite restaurant in New York! Thank you so much Ivan!

    I've been to this location a couple times, for both brunch and dinner, and the food and drinks have been fresh, flavorful and delicious. Even though it's a pretty large chain in New York City, the service is always quality and the food is always well cooked and hearty. Both times that I've gone, I've walked in without a reservation, but I do recommend making a reservation in advance if you're going during peak hours. The restaurant has both an upstairs and downstairs dining area, and it's beautifully decorated inside. The location is central & convenient, just across the street from Bryant Park and walking distance to Grand Central. This location does tend to get a bit more tourist traffic because of that, but it's still a nice spot to go to. I recently dined during restaurant week, and the $45 3-course dinner was well worth it. One particular highlight was the garganelli dish which had mushrooms, pesto and perfectly al dente pasta. Overall, if you're looking for an easygoing, reliable dining spot for brunch or dinner, I recommend checking out La Pecora Bianca - and they have quite a few locations around the city!

    Ambiance: there's a lot of seating. We made reservation Service: the service was good Food $$: the food was really good. Pizza had good dough and pasta was really good. The calamari was also great and crunchy Audience: Solo Trip [X] Family Friendly [ X] Friends [X] Date Spot [X] Recommendations/tips: I highly recommend

    I stopped by La Pecora Bianca on a Monday night, and the place was packed. I'll be honest -- I walked in fully expecting a long wait and was already mentally preparing to find a Plan B. But to my surprise, the host was able to seat me at their community table within just a couple of minutes. What a relief! Now, onto the important part -- the food. I started with a ginger lime soda, which was refreshing and the perfect way to kick things off. For my appetizer, I went with the whipped ricotta, and wow, it was creamy, light, and absolutely divine. For my main course, I ordered the chicken parmesan with homemade vodka sauce-doused pasta, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the sauce was flavorful, and the homemade pasta elevated the whole dish to another level. Everything was absolutely fabulous. The whole time I was eating, I kept watching the waiters bring out dish after dish from the kitchen, and honestly, everything looked incredible. I was kicking myself for coming solo -- I wish I had been there with a group so we could have ordered more and shared! This is definitely a place you want to come to with friends so you can try a little bit of everything. I also have to shout out the service -- it was fast and attentive without ever being pushy. My server checked in at all the right moments and never made me feel rushed. It's that perfect balance where you feel well taken care of but can still enjoy your meal at your own pace. The ambiance is really fun and cool without being pretentious or overly trendy. I never felt out of place, which I really appreciated. It's the kind of spot where you can dress up or keep it casual and still feel right at home. One small note -- the lighting is on the darker side, so if you're someone who is sensitive to dim lighting, just be aware of that. Personally, I thought it added to the vibe. And can we talk about the prices? For New York City, this place is surprisingly reasonable, especially for Midtown. You're getting high-quality, delicious Italian food without the sticker shock that so many NYC restaurants come with. Bottom line: La Pecora Bianca is delicious, welcoming, and well-priced. I will absolutely be back -- and next time, I'm bringing friends.

    Friendly service The decor isn't memorable Reservations are definitely needed but make sure you pick the correct location because there are different locations all over the cit We did the restaurant week deal it wasn't bad but not amazing It's a busy place and service is rushed No happy hour deals The bread isn't toasted but would be nice. Food is good but needs more flavor The tiramisu is huge and tasty The spritz's are refreshing but $19 each

    How noisy are lunches on Saturdays?

    It's a very popular destination so can get noisy but not so bad they you can't have a nice conversation with your table :) I didn't particularly notice the noise personally! :)

    How dressy is the resta?

    It's whatever you want to dress as!! I think the vibe is nice but I wore jeans and a t shirt :) no need for black tie!

    What is the difference between eating in the library or in the dining room?

    The Library is a quieter room in a different area while the dining room is the main area and a bit louder.

    Do they have heated outdoor dining?

    Was there last night and I don't see outdoor seating.

    Ok if you wanna ball on a budget and be in midtown come here! $9 for a freaking burger? Unheard of…read moreanywhere in the city unless you know a guy. The mozzarella sticks said 5 of them but we got four of them. They were good none the less. ::bathroom alert:: Very clean bathroom. I was very happy about this because I had just ate. There was tons of soap, it smelled nice in there. The beer and shot special under $10 in the city? Haven't seen that in awhile. The beers are super cheap here as well. They feel like old NY prices! Can't complain. They have four booths in the back maybe it was three. I did notice one of the hanging lights was from an 80s pizza hut joint. Letting you know now the paper towels for your face at the table felt like jail toliet paper, very rough. The bar doesn't have bar stools with backs! You either need to get one or two tables by their mini kitchen, very hot there not recommended for preimenopause or menopausal women or one of the booths. This is a great bar they played 60s music a lot. Heard some weird al too! Very random and fun place to be. The bartender was nice as well as security! Try the burger! Worth the $9!!

    We enjoy local bars ! And this bar was perfect for us to wind down with a couple of drinks…read more Great deals and not over crowded. Quick service. We are low key couple and enjoy supporting local businesses. They do offer food but we only wanted a couple of drinks. They have some booths available if you come w friends. So if you just need to wind down stop by local 42 for a drink or two!

    This place has so much potential it's honestly a little offensive that it's not living up to it…read more Like... you walk in and you feel like something should be happening. The energy is right there, hovering, but it never actually lands. It's giving "almost iconic" but not quite--like a party that never fully starts. And that's what gets me. Because this bar could EASILY be that spot. The kind people plan their week around. Where are the themed nights? Where's the drama? The chaos? Give me a reason to come back on a random Wednesday. Do a city-event tie-in, a holiday takeover, literally anything that makes it feel alive instead of just... existing. Because right now it feels like a missed opportunity wearing a cute outfit. BUT--let's talk about the one thing they absolutely did not fumble: the view. The VIEW??? Insane. Genuinely stunning. The kind of view that makes you pause mid-sentence and remember you're in New York and not just spiraling in your own life choices. It's carrying the entire experience on its back, respectfully. So yeah. I'd come back... but mostly for the view and the potential. If they ever decide to actually do something with this space? It could be dangerous (in a good way). Until then, it's vibes... just not fully realized ones.

    Great experience overall ... with a decent view of the fireworks show.... Drinks were overpriced…read moreand the DJ's music was a bit too over the top. Not the place to bring someone who may forget who they came with lol . The service was mediocre at best.. and there were not enough seats inside to accommodate more of the crowd..
