I came with my team from work and we all had a fantastic lunch here. We had a large table tucked into a nook in the back, making a great spot for talking. The roasted cauliflower ($18) is a great appetizer, and you can't go wrong with calamari ($17). They have a nice selection of cocktails as well, and I especially enjoyed the spicy limoncello margarita ($18), which was a favorite among the group. As for food: I eat a lot of fresh pastas, but I'm not exaggerating when I say that this was the best I ever had. I had the Bucatini cacio e pepe ($23) and it was phenomenal. Everyone at the table agreed that the pastas were the perfect texture. For dessert, the tiramisu for 2 ($18) is enormous and actually could probably feed 5. It was also delicious!

We didn’t have a reservation but they managed to squeeze us in. Firstly it was busy and had such a great atmosphere, the interior was stunning and we were seated downstairs. We had such a lovely waiter actually originally from Ireland, who helped us with our drinks choice and food. Food was absolutely amazing, service was super and the perfect end to our last day in the city.

I have been to La Pecora Bianca several times, it’s a really great place to have lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is wonderful and the place is very comfy. I always went without reservation and I never had to wait. The service is really good and quite fast. The pasta is delicious, very tasty.Dietary restrictions: Something to highlight is that the waitress ask for dietary restrictions and allergies before taking your order.

Dinner was fabulous. Had the pasta with broccolini and sausage, which was outstanding. Scallops also very good. Sat in the library, which was nice. Upstairs was very noisy. Our server Lisbeth was fantastic.

I love how pretty, modern and cozy this restaurants is. Food is also goodI like their burrata and crispy calamariI don’t love their tiramisu. The sheep was cute but too creemy not enough cakeServe is not very good. The waiter refused many times to take our order because we wanted to order appetizers before ordering our main dishes and she wanted us to order all at once. I don’t like it when they do that

I needed to make a reservation for 10 for an 8am business bkfast. They forced me to sign a contract which my company doesn’t allow me to do. Were super unhelpful on the phone and unwilling to work with me. I’ve been here for lunch which was loud. They are just irrationally strict and inflexible about seating. I went to Avra down the street which was no problem and much quieter. Here, You’re shouting and super close together.

Immediately on entry, I was struck by the noise and overcrowding. Getting to our table was a feat, squeezing between seated diners, try not to bump them. Impossible... and once seated, I, too, was repeatedly bumped every time someone passed behind me. I ouldchear the conversations at the tables around me better than at my own table. Orders were taken timely and were served reasonably quickly. Salad was little more than a sample size and was created with little imagination. The entres were also small, the pasta was way undercooked, the meat component was barely there, and the dishes were over salted. The tiramisu looked beautiful and was a very generous serving for two, could even have been for four. Unfortunately, it seemed like just whipped cream with a few lady fingers. I couldn't sense any mascarpone in the cream, I couldn't find the coffee the lady fingers should have been dipped in, and the alcohol characteristic of tiramisu must have long since evaporated. To summarize: overrated, noisy, crowded, mediocre menu and food, overpriced, underwhelming.

A superb meal for two in what was a busy but chic night out. The atmosphere was excellent and although it was busy, it had such a chilled relaxed vibe. Staff were all excellent and the food was perfect! The pesto and mushroom pasta was incredible as was the prawn linguini. Would happily eat here again and again! Definitely make a reservation though, it was super busy by 7pm on a Tuesday and lots of walk ins were turned away.

I was greeted with a huge smile and seated early, even though my friend had not yet arrived. The food was very good, however, both our appetizers and salad came together (feels rushed & table crowded). My friend arrived just 5 minutes late of our reservation (I had ordered sparkling water & a cocktail while I waited) and she was greeted by a very surly server with a major attitude- the service throughout our meal continued to be short/ sharp /unpleasant. The bill arrived & we laughed at the $2 charge for ice in my cocktail- REALLY? - we questioned our server about it - ‘Don’t take it out on me!’ Was her response. ??‍♀️ we tipped her - but may not be dining here, again, anytime soon.

The Best Italian spot in NYC. I found out about this place on TikTok: @Kristiipartyof6. I got their Pepperoni Pizza! It was so delicious! Everything was so fresh too! If you’re a first timer to the City, Highly recommend this Place.
