La Pecora Bianca Bryant Park
We were looking for a place to eat near Bryant Park when we decided to try the new location of La Pecora Bianca. Although it was a Tuesday, we decided to still reserve a table: I am glad we did as the place was quite packed…and loud! The noise level in restaurants is definitely something I will never get used to, but we really wanted to try their menu.
I started off by ordering a negroni from their negroni bar and picked the Winter as made with bourbon.

We then shared the crispy provolone that is fried provolone as you would have mozzarella sticks. Crispy, with lots of cheese, it was not greasy and delicious dipped in a vodka sauce that was a nice substitute for the classic marinara.

For the entrees, we both tried their homemade pasta that are definitely a must have. Jodi got their bucatini cacio e pepe (nice amount of cheese but a bit too much pepper), while I had their linguine with clams that were succulent.

We finished the meal with an olive oil cake that was superb, and ditched the quince that came with it as it was a bit too syrupey.

Overall, the meal at La Pecora Bianca was great. The only negative was the noise level that made us want to get our dishes quickly and leave…Still, this place never disappoints.
Enjoy (I did)!
