La Pecora Bianca UWS 8.7
Upper West Side (Central)
La Pecora Bianca’s Upper West Side outpost pairs a stylish two-story room and enclosed patio with house-made pastas, Neapolitan-style pizzas, and a spritz-focused bar program. A kid-friendly, gluten-free–aware setup and Central Park–adjacent location make it a polished but practical choice for families planning brunch or dinner around museum time.
Must-Try Dishes: Rigatoni vodka, Tagliatelle bolognese, Margherita pizza
