La Pecora Bianca
“Our group included 2 vegetarians and 2 who have gluten free diets.”
“The Gramigna was very good but not something I would order again just because I would like to try something else rather than eat it again.”
“We split the kale salad, the striped bass appetizer, the funghi, and 2 pastas (the fennel pesto and the pork sausage).”

I'm wondering why some of the heavy hitters here have given Le Pecora lukewarm reviews. I came here with my bestie for restaurant week on weeknight and thought it was pretty great. Some things fell a little flat but the restaurant overall is good. First off, it was awesome that making a res for restaurant week so easy and accessible. They sat us on time, service was attentive (great water refills) and the restaurant is so freaking cute. Love the decor and feel in there. I thought the restaurant week menu had good variety and value, and showcased the key dishes.
We skipped on drinks but apparently cocktails are good here To start, I had the crudo (a bit too acididc..I've had better). My friend had the kale and roasted carrot salad which looked plentiful and good. I then had the chicken which was plentiful ( a TON of chicken), well cooked, and flavorful. It could have used some greens but came with a good helping of corn. My friend had the beef/pork ragu taliatelle which she seemed to enjoy. I didn't try this. They had their other famed pasta (the pork sausage one) on display as well as this branzino…
For dessert, we both had the tiriamisu. This was the worst thing.. it was probably fine in flavor but I guess prepared so far in advance it was kind of hard. Not whipped enough. Sounds odd but I got a (good, strong) coffee with my dessert and poured some into the dessert and it was better. They had sorbet and some nutella cake as an alternative.
I would come back to try others things and apparently they do good brunch. I think the atmosphere really helps this place out. Not remarkable but not bad either.
Beautiful light welcoming space. We will definitely be back again. We enjoyed the mushrooms (so delicious), the asparagus salad with poached egg, insalata verde and the orata with sunchokes, Waitstaff was top notch as well.
Cute spot in the Flatiron district. Came here for a late brunch and heartily enjoyed my Bloody Mary, baked eggs, pasta and kale salad. Chill/nice ambiance and friendly service.
Came here for lunch in order to sample the Gramigna and a couple order dishes I have on my list.
Made a reservation in advance and was promptly seated without any wait time. Always a good thing.
Very clean design on the interior. Really like the bottles of wine and pickles on the shelves with backlight behind as decoration.
The menu is focused and concise. I wouldn't have it any other way. Ordered the grilled octopus, the charred cauliflower, the Gramigna, and Branzino.
The octopus and cauliflower were both really good. The octopus was tender and paired really well with chorizo and olives.
The Branzino was beautifully done with just the right level of salt. The skin wasn't quite as crispy as I'd prefer, but still very flavorful and fresh.
Unfortunately, the Gramigna actually came a bit too undercooked. Had to send it back. It was a bit of disappointment since I was pretty excited about it. When it came back out the second time, that magic was gone…
Overall, still a beautiful restaurant with really good food. Too bad about the undercooked pasta. Will be back for another attempt.
Great scene, especially when the weather is nice and they open up the sidewalk seating. Very sleek vibe and ambience, but wasn't a fan of the close seating, which is typically the case in this city. Food and wine is probably overpriced for what it is, but again, I loved the setting and décor a lot.
Pasta was extremely fresh, portions were so so. Gramigna with sausage and broccolini was excellent. Tagliatelle (beef/pork Bolognese) not quite as good. Wine was a decent value for the quality.
Avocado and crab crostini was probably the best thing I tasted all night. Romanesca crostini not far behind.
Finally got a reservation at this spot after a few prior attempts to get quick drinks. We arrived on the dot for our slot and we were seated immediately with smiles. Water set and drink orders taken, we settled in and realized how lovely the space was appointed. It was packed but not crowded, the volume high but not intolerable. We didn't realize how much time had passed but our server sidled up with effusive apologies for the wait in our starters and promptly comp'd us 2 glasses of the wine we were enjoying, and later on, a dessert – we chose the tiramisu. Honestly we were so enjoying ourselves we had not noticed the lag in service, but this response was really phenomenal and it definitely made a mark on us. The polipo (octopus) starter when it finally arrived was tasty, bright, well seasoned, and warm. My friend had the risotto which came out quite dramatically and I the gramigna which was light but filling. As mentioned, we topped off the evening with tiramisu which was a delight. I would come back again to try other dishes, but most of all, I will always remember the impeccable attention to service and experience. Brava.
One of my best friends works here, and I stopped by to meet him and decided to grab a bite as well. I'm SOOOOO glad that I did!! The food was incredible! I couldn't stop raving about my Einkorn Gramigna!! The sausage was probably overcooked by mistake–but it made it so crispy and perfect for this rich, yummy dish! It was perfectly spicy–just a little kick. Honestly, one of the best things I have ever eaten! I also really enjoyed the meatballs and tomato sauce–the sauce was perfect! The mushrooms on our crostini were also incredibly flavorful. Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant. And the chef came over–I couldn't stop raving about our food– and he was also so nice and friendly! I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.
If I lived in New York, this would be my go-to coffee shop for outstanding ambiance and cappuccinos. Their desserts and lunches looked incredible, but I can only speak to the coffee and vibes.
The restaurant is located near Madison Square Park, and I noticed several folks coming in to pick up lunch/have a quick business lunch.
The interior and branding is superb. The waitstaff and customer service is lovely (and quick for those business folks). Beautiful building, with lots of antique details and natural light. Wonderful place to people watch!
I am looking forward to trying their private label rosé next visit!
