We have tried all the other locations of La Pecora Bianca, and this was our first time at the UWS. It did not disappoint! Claire was honestly the best waitress we have had from all our experiences there. So sweet, professional, and incredibly helpful. The strip steak & eggs was delicious and a huge portion. We loved the zucchini fries, burrata, whipped ricotta, and arugula. And of course, my favorite rigatoni with vodka sauce is always a must. Can’t wait to go back!
this was such a delightful little spot! my wife and i met some friends here for our honeymoon, and we loved it! it's a short walk from central park. the menu had many vegetarian options, especially for the appetizers. my wife got the Garganelli, which we were able to pay a bit extra for to get a ball of burrata on top (def worth). i got a the shaved brussel salad; so delicious, but be wary it's a bit small so probably better to compliment another dish! and please look at this adorable tiramisu
Great vibes when you walk in, it just feels right. The staff is friendly and professional - the host checked out coats on a cold day, it just felt nice. We sat in “the softest chairs in the house”, lucky us! Food was good, the high point was the ricotta toast appetizer. Pasta was good but not quite magical. Squash soup was good too. It got crowded quickly at lunchtime, I recommend making a reservation. The two course lunch is $30. Give it a try if you’re going to the museum!
