Excellent Picora next to the museum. Ton of outdoor seating and delicious food. Pastas are excellent and well proportioned. I liked the Rigatoni the best. More outdoor seating than the rest of the Picoras. Only major downfall is 2 bathrooms that are unisex and individual stalls. The line can be 10-20 minutes. read more

The La Pecora Bianca in UWS is a popular neighborhood spot for both brunch and dinner. I'd recommend making a reservation, as their service is not the fastest and there may be quite a wait if they're full. The atmosphere of this location is lovely, with high ceilings and large windows. When I went a couple of weeks ago, we were lead to the upstairs area, which was also nice and cozy. I tried the pumpkin ravioli, which was delicious. My clients were happy with their dishes and the atmosphere as well. The only problem we had was the slow service. Especially since we were upstairs, we had long waits and had to call someone up from downstairs several times--to take our order, as for extra plates, etc. This is a great location especially for when I have visitors, so I hope their service level can improve. read more

Good attentive service, nice menu, pasta place and more! I had the pasta with shrimp... delish! At another table, the person ordered the steak... looked fantastic and cooked to a medium rare perfection! I watched him eat his steak bite by bite... and I will return and order the steak next time...! Nice crowd, happy but not too noisy. The one disappointment: no beer on tap. read more

Randomly walked into this place looking for a late dinner. It's been 6 months later and I still think about the artichoke dish. I didn't realize I even liked artichokes, and since this place I've basically ordered fried artichokes every time I see it on a menu just hoping it's this dish. (I haven't found anything that remotely compares). Their crispy fried Brussels sprouts were also delicious. Pasta was fine but if you like your veggies fried, this is for you. 10/10 I would eat both sides again. read more

La Pecora Bianca - Fried Crispy Brussels Sprouts - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Amaaaazing spot in the heart of the upper west side. What a beautiful location to take in the sights and sounds of the area. I went on a beautiful and busy Sunday afternoon and sat in a spot under the shade and fortunate enough to have a front row seat to the world. My server was fantastic, super friendly and welcoming and very cordial. I started with a whipped ricotta and an aperol spritz (torn between that and a Hugo spritz). Later, I asked my server to bring me a spritz of his choosing and low and behind.. A Hugo appeared! Honestly, that one was way tastier than the aperol but both were so refreshing and delicious. Perfect for the day. Not too boozy, cold, just great. For my entree I had the Garganelli. It was really good, pasta was fresh and cooked perfect. Full of layers of flavor, and felt so high quality. However I'm not sure it would be something I'd order again. Totally glad I tried it though. For dessert I... well... I ordered the tiramisu for two. Please don't judge. Could not finish it and can confirm it is absolutely massive. This restaurant is a gem. Must visit if you're in the area! read more

La Pecora has quickly become our go-to Italian restaurant in New York. Its everything you'd expect from a chain restaurant; consistent, tasty food, and refreshing decor at every place! Service was a little slow at this location and our server wasn't that attentive, but that did not affect our experience at all. Zucchini "Fries" ($15) is a must order appetizer and the Roasted Cauliflower ($17) was delicious as well. We shared the Garganelli ($26) pasta, something I'd highly recommend - the pasta and sharing - as the oil eventually gets to you. They make any pasta of your choice with butter and cheese for the kids, so our little one was happy to satisfy his pasta craving 'per his liking. Noise levels were on the lower end. Overall, a decently positive experience and will definitely continue to be our go-to place for Italian food! read more

This place was just alright. The appetizers were absolutely delicious, but I wasn't too impressed by the pasta dish (doesn't come with protein! what!!). The vodka sauce just kinda tasted like marinara, but I thought it'd be rude to ask for black pepper. Drinks were yummy, but a bit on the pricier side. The service was a little slow, but it was busy and it is NY after all. I'd probably go back just for some casual dining, but I'd pick another entree. read more

Service was amazing and so attentive. Vodka pasta was my favorite, very good and a great size. Brussels and fried zucchini were good too but not amazing. Would definitely go again read more

This is a cute spot for Italian food. Nice, fun vibes. Good service. I had the spaghetti, plus sides of broccoli rabe and appetizer meatballs. The meatballs were somewhat salty, would be my only complaint. The service is good. read more

Great steak and pasta dishes. Friendly and efficient service. Dining area very comfortable. Price point very good. Highly recommend.

Beautiful restaurant with lovely ambiance. We had the restaurant week appetizer + entree deal for $30pp. Appetizers included gazpacho and a farro salad. Both of which were solidly a-ok. It would've been nice to have a little more flavor in both. The entrees were nice, a rigatoni in vodka and a curly pasta with sausage. The pasta had a nice bite to it but could've been a touch softer for me. The item I enjoyed the most wad the lemonade basil soda--very refreshing on a warm day. All-in-all, a nice restaurant but a bit pricey. read more

We arrived at our reservation at 6pm and they said we had booked an outdoor reservation but their outdoors was closed. They couldn't seat us for 2 more hours. Very frustrating to have a reservation and show up on time and have them say they can't seat you for two hours. read more

There is a waitress there that is an absolute delight. She knows the menu like the back of her hand and for that, I'm forever grateful. Her service was impeccable. The food was delicious and my family and I will be back. Thank you so much. read more

New York, New York, New York. With the most amount of restaurants needing reservations, it was super difficult considering that we had a party of people getting hangry. We came here after a visit at the Natural History Museum because this place was one of the only places that even though had a lot of reservations, but accepted walk-ins which we were lucky enough to get a table. It was outside, with a bit of unknown in the weather side, but we still got a seat. The staff was super accommodating with the weather and when we wanted to switch to a table that was under an awning in fear of of We ordered pasta, and the party loved it. I thought it was pretty great, but then again it could have been the hunger talking. We got the burrata, which came with peas. It was good, the cheese was soft. Which pasta? I got the Tagliatelle. It was tasty and I can't complain. Overall, I liked it. It's super busy, so definitely place those reservations if you're trying to hit an itinerary. read more

Making a resy was a good call because by the time we got there, the place was packed! It was also extra cold so we sat inside. The server led us to our table and handed us the menu and got us started with our drinks for the night. Seeing that there's posts is made in house, we knew we definitely had to get a pasta. But first the appetizer- the crispy artichoke with lemon aioli! Never had artichokes this way before! I will say that I was pleasantly surprised by the crunch. The leaves had some burnt parts, but otherwise delectable! Then we got the gramigna followed by the Faroe island salmon. The pasta was well flavored and had a touch of spice. The pasta might have been more on the tougher side than we had liked. The salmon atop a bed of kale, mushrooms and a squash purée was amazing! The sweetness from the purée was a great compliment to the kale and the salmon! We do badly wanted to have dessert, but we were so incredibly full, we had to decline. I would say that I'd visit again to try a different pasta dish and the dessert! read more

The UWS location of La Pecora Bianca is the real deal -- great food, good wine, and excellent service even with a packed crowd on a Friday night. The meatballs are a must, packed with savory flavor, complemented by a sauce that's zesty and light, with just a hint of spice. M I was equally impressed with the whipped ricotta, really light and subtly sweet, giving a nice balance to the meal overall. This dish might have quietly stole the show, I could have just eaten this and been happy. The pasta mains were top notch, really simple and well prepared -- they let the pasta speak for itself. Definitely a bit pricey, but you get a great meal for the price, definitely money well spent if you like quality Italian food. read more

Like most restaurants in the city, I would recommend making reservations. At around 4:30pm, the earliest seat available inside was 7:30pm. There were still good number of outdoor seating, but it was a shattered rainy day, and not all seats were covered. As our party was hungry, we decided to risk the rain. The staff was amazing and so accommodating. We ended up moving tables mid meal (from not covered to covered once the tables became available). I got the burrata which came with peas, beans asparagus. It was very refreshing. I also got the garganelli which I enjoyed. read more

Went here with my husband and friends after searching UWS for a good Italian restaurant. Luckily, I found this place and am so glad I did. We got the whipped ricotta, fritto misto, spaghetti pomodoro with added ricotta cheese, garganelli, gramigna, and the dry aged ribeye. EVERYTHING was delicious, like exceptionally, over the top delicious. I don't think I've gone somewhere where every single dish ordered was good. And I also loved the texture of the pastas! Made in house and perfectly cooked al dente pasta. I must have been eating the wrong type of al dente all my life lol I usually try a place, and unless it's amazing, don't think about going out of my way to go again. Here though, definitely a repeat on repeat restaurant when I'm in NY. Oh, and all the drinks were perfect too! read more

I was surprised to see how big this place was on the inside - very different from other restaurants in NYC! It has a really nice atmosphere and they clearly stay busy. The Brussels sprouts were a great starter and the pasta, although simple, was very good as well. The quality definitely all tastes homemade. I see why this is a favorite in the neighborhood although I'm disappointed they took cacio e pepe bites off the menu. read more

Was craving some tasty pasta and came here before my movie. 1) Food: Excellent. Adding burrata to our pasta gave it a better flavor. The meatballs (not in picture) were very tasty and a great appetizer. 2) drinks: few options but they do not miss. My spring Negroni had prosecco which caught my attention and it did not miss. 3) service+atmosphere: service was quick and attentive so it was a 10/10! The restaurant was a little hot and not too noisy. 9.5/10! read more

Excellent. Came here after a screening with a girlfriend at AMC Lincoln. We had a heavy topic to discuss, and the food and ambiance made it a safe place to do so. Both of us ate vegetarian and pescatarian, respectively, that night, so the cauliflower, calamarata (which has no calamari in it), local burrata, and branzino went down very well. The service lacked A LOT. the place wasn't that busy for us to wait as long as we did for water and just regular check-ins. so, that was a disappointment. but overall, very good. would definitely return. it has vibey vibes. read more

Solid Italian food in the city. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating but be sure to make reservations. They are located just a block away from the museum of natural history so it's a great stop to check out after your visit. This was my second time here. First time they were able to get us in quickly and we enjoyed our meals. This time was a bit rushed. We got here early and had to wait which was no problem. We were able to get a table quicker if we sat outside. Only issue is they were super busy and we felt very rushed. Our food came out before our drinks and all at once. That being said everything we had was great. Whipped ricotta is light and fluffy with a hint of lemon. The meatballs are in a delicious sauce that went well with the children's spaghetti. I got the rigatoni both times and the sauce was great. Not too heavy. We haven't had enough room for the tiramisu but maybe next time. read more

We've been going to Isabella's since the 90s, it's where my husband & I had our first date in the city, so we were hesitant to try the restaurant that took its place. But Mark was such a wonderful host, with a wealth of personal knowledge about our favorite spot, that he made us feel right at home. The food was also excellent! And thank god they put bathrooms on the main level instead of having to navigate those stairs. Love what they've done with the space. Very excited to return. read more

The place in the restaurant is very clean and nice. The setting and the declaration are nice. The service is nice and they are polite too. The server of ours is so nice and kind and asked us if we're finished before he took the plates away! The food is amazing . The meatballs is good and very hot. The cauliflower is so nice and fresh and the sauce of it so good! The zucchini is okay I guess but not to good but is they cut it more like a zucchini and more crispy it will be good but it's still good! The drink my mom order said it's good! So thank you for that! The chicken is dry only taste the dry chicken and I only taste the lemon too. And the burger is not too good but the fries of it are good and the burger sauce is very good read more

This was the worst experience I've ever experienced service wise; god forbid 3 girls wanted to enjoy a good night. I think it's disgusting how they acted, I don't even have words.

Visited friends here on my recent stay in the UES. Love the ambience! It's not huge but not too small inside. Feels like I'm in a really chic hotel lobby. Service was solid. Waitress did not hold us to a seating time limit so we got to enjoy our food and drink without rushing. Whipped ricotta was yummy. The honey and red peppers flakes were an excellent touch. Calamari was really good. Chicken parm was OK. Chicken could use a little more seasoning. Overall, enjoyable experience! I will be back read more

La Pecora Bianca - Calamari + whipped Ricotta - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Today was my first visit to La Pecora Bianca Upper West Side. I've been to several other locations and like the others, this location was decorated tastefully in my opinion and the food was good and overall was pretty consistent. I've ordered the same thing at three different La Pecora Bianca restaurants so I'll review what I ordered below. They have a $30 two course lunch special. Weekday lunch- Whipped ricotta with truffle and honey. They serve four slices of country style bread with fresh and creamy ricotta served with a well of olive oil, honey and chili flakes. I have to say that to me, the truffle flavor wasn't pronounced but the appetizer was very enjoyable nonetheless. Little gem Caesar salad with choice of protein. I ordered the Caesar salad and asked for my protein to be served on the side. The reason I requested this is that I didn't want warm/hot chicken to wilt my salad greens. Today's salad was the largest I've had at any LPB locations. Mine was not adequately dressed in my opinion and they graciously brought me more dressing. I would order this salad again for sure! You can't go wrong with this lunch special. It's a good amount of food/value for money. I've tried all three lunch special appetizers plus a few of the entrees and enjoyed all of them. The location right near the Natural History museum is also great. I'd say it's a pretty kid friendly place! I recommend this spot. read more

Came here on a recommendation that the vodka pasta is one of the best. It was very good! I wasn't blown away, nothing necessarily unique about it, but I was very happy with it both with flavor and amount of sauce. Got a few other dishes and everything was delicious. The interior is well designed in a bright and trendy sort of way. Service was good, no problems there. The group I was with stayed a bit late, possibly past closing, but nobody came to tell us or shush us out, so I guess that was nice (although we felt a little bad about it). read more

I love coming here. The staff is friendly. The seating is plentiful, and the restaurant is really well decorated. Outdoor seating is unbeatable on sunny Spring/Fall days when the temperature borders the 70 degree mark. When I am in a mood for a drink, I order the Gold Rush or the Paper Plane. Both are solid choices. As for food, you really can't go wrong with anything. I normally order the whipped ricotta and meatballs as appetizers for the table. The ricotta is smooth and goes really well with the honey. The meatballs are delicious and could be an entree on their own. Gramigna and Rigatoni pasta dishes are fan favorites. Strongly encourage you to order with the burrata. I'm lactose intolerant, and I never miss out on the opportunity. It's worth it every time. read more

Great Food, Great Ambiance and excellent service. Not the the usual stuffyness o fht upper west side..

So I've been putting off actually trying the food in this restaurant until last night. Many people told me the food is delicious so we figured we'll go for it. The reason we haven't before is because every time we've walked in the door we are treated so poorly by the hosts there It's like they pick and choose who they allow in and it's quite arrogant and insulting last night we went in about 7 o'clock a little crowded not very we asked for a table for two we were told they didn't have any except at the bar wanting to try the food we said fine. We sat at the bar, lovely bartender Pasta was good however, many many tables remained open in the restaurant while we were sitting and eating at the bar, I find this very offputting that the hosts deliver service with such arrogance and snobbishness. I'm pretty sure we won't go back. read more

La Pecora Bianca is... fine. I've dined here a couple times. The space is bright and lively. Service was friendly but a bit slow, especially considering how crowded it wasn't when we arrived. The food is just ok, not great not even good.. The pasta was fresh but slightly overcooked, and the sauces are somewhat bland. It doesn't really stand out compared to other Italian spots in the neighborhood at a similar price point. The drinks were solid -- Aperol spritz was balanced -- but nothing that made me want to come back just for that. Overall, you're better off going elsewhere, definitely not worth going out of the way for. read more

Delicious all around! Wonderful service by the waiter and manager. We sat outside and it was great. Would definitely go back!! read more
