Our first night in New York City, and we were craving a local Italian bite, so we came to La Pecora…read moreBianca in Midtown. The hostess was kind when we walked in and got us seated in less than 2 minutes, no reservation. In the future, I would book ahead! We started with the whipped ricotta for our appetizer, and I have to say I was surprised at how quickly it arrived on our table. I thought it was to be heavy on my stomach, but it was the opposite: light, flaky and with the whipped ricotta, it had the perfect combo of sweet and savory. The indoor decor itself is very clean and organized, and I love how put together it all seems. Not crammed at all but surely loud. Got our main pasta courses within 15 minutes. My fish was still hot and you could see the heat. It tastes very fresh and with Parmesan sprinkled on top, and I love how the pasta basically melts in my mouth. Great portion sizes for the price and the quality is surely present! I ended up completing my entire plate, which is very rare. The pasta was so addictive in the best way and you get a great balance of sauce and Parmesan in each bite, no bland texture. We topped off the night with two scoops of gelato, pistachio and lemon. I loved how refreshing it tasted and was a great ending to the night. Solid restaurant and service, would definitely give a try if you're in the area and looking for authentic Italian food that will satisfy your cravings, because it sure satisfied ours

We were able to get a table for four on a Sunday evening without a reservation, although I'm not…read moresure if that's typical! They have a great kids menu, which is always a nice bonus when dining with the family. Our dining experience was a little mixed. We wanted to start with an appetizer and then potentially order more, but our waiter didn't want to put the appetizer order in unless we were sure we wanted it. We found the interaction a little strange, so we ended up skipping the appetizers altogether and just ordered entrees. The bill payment process also could use some improvement. You tap your card to pay, and then it takes you to a screen where you have to enter your payment information. The senior citizens sitting next to us seemed confused and frustrated by the process, so I could definitely see this being challenging for some guests. Overall, not a bad experience, but there were a few things that could have been smoother.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, especially when it came to the service and…read moreprofessionalism. When I placed my order, I explained that I don't eat polenta and asked if it could be replaced with something else. I was told that they could remove it, but they could not substitute anything, and I would still have to pay for it without receiving any replacement. I then ordered the Grilled Lamb Chops Medium Well, but they arrived Medium Rare. When I explained that I had ordered Medium Well, not Medium Rare, they treated the situation as if the mistake was mine. After they took the dish back to the kitchen, they brought it back and placed a lamp over the meat in a very strange and unprofessional way. The employee then said to me, "Look at the meat, it's Medium Well." Regardless of the cooking temperature, the way the situation was handled was unprofessional. A simple apology and correction of the order would have been enough, rather than making the customer feel as if they were at fault. Unfortunately, the service and professionalism were not at the level I expected. I will not be coming back.

Additionally it would be best to have a corporate expense account while coming. Each dish was good, no dish was overwhelmingly good. The salads are really unique and tasty, the salmon perfectly executed, and the pasta very tasty. It lacks heart, but it does achieve what you would expect from Dan Kluger. Good food.

We tried about a dozen tapas items on the menu since we were there with friends and family, and everyone wanted to share everything. We really enjoyed the food, a combination of cold plates and hot dishes, with particularly delicious patatas bravas. The ambience was romantic and warmly lit. Our waiter was funny, personable and regularly checked on us. Moreover, they let us stay late because they had to do a big cleanup anyway. We were able to get another cocktail in. Thank you Bonsaii!!!!

Overall, the food was quite good, with some minor issues, so this is a welcomed addition to the neighborhood! The appetizers definitely stood out more, with the bone marrow and escargot being my personal favorites of the meal; these are of course rich and savory, so catered to my tastes. The main issue I had with the food was the dry aged rib eye and the side of creamed spinach. The beef didn't taste very dry aged, as the flavor was not concentrated. The piece of steak was also pretty thin (although a bigger surface area), which made it easy to overcook. We definitely received medium well when ordering medium. The cream spinach just literally tasted like full pieces of spinach swimming in cream, not the velvety texture you would expect. I would expect the restaurant will make improvements over time, and it could be worth revisiting in a few months!

The inside looked really nice with some nice pictures on the wall and lots of space for seating. They also have a downstairs that has a bar and plenty of seating. We just ordered a few Aperol Spritz and chilled at the bar. The drinks tasted really good. Hard to mess that up but you never know. They had music playing from something in the background which was really good. The bartenders were alway asking if we needed anything so that was good. We didn't order any food but the plates that we saw looked really good. Definitely a place you need to check out if your looking for a cool spot to drink and get some bites to eat. They also have a good happy hour and from the looks of it a nice brunch with bottomless mimosas. Have to come check out this place if your in town or live near the area.

My objective was to find a bar for happy hour in Midtown East. In my rarely treading over to the…read moreeast side these days and wanting to avoid Grand Central I searched a little through google maps what was nearby Murray Bro Hill/Kips Bay area and this spot popped up and I remembered wanting to check out their brunch but never did. It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.
