25 – La Pecora Bianca

Posted in New York by Mary Lynne Kupchella

The service at La Pecora Bianca has come a very long way since opening. I’m very glad that I gave it another try and I can see this ending up in my regular rotation following workouts in the neighborhood. I absolutely loved the Cortina cocktail and the bartender was lovely enough to provide me with the recipe. I have already made it several times at home.

Cortina – Greylock gin, lime, maraschino, fernet branca

Fluke crudo – oro blanco citrus, radish, pink peppercorn

Farro insalate – apple, arugula, goat cheese, pomegranate, pistachio, pickled onions

NYC – 8/4/15 – La Pecora Bianca

Posted in New York by Mary Lynne Kupchella

I love having another great dining option in a neighborhood that I find myself in most days of the week and often quite hungry following a workout. A very wise friend of mine cautioned me against visiting new restaurants too soon after opening and I probably should have listened. Service was completely confused and at one point I almost left. To be fair this was day 2 so I forgive and shouldn’t even mention the service issues as they are probably ironed out by now. The salads were exactly what I was looking for on a hot evening. And a fantastic idea with the small bites that everybody receives to start. I definitely see many return visits in my future.

Formaggi and Salumi Pomodori – Garden peach tomatoes, pickled shallots, basil Verdure Verdi – Sugar snap, snow, and green peas, fava beans, asparagus, pecorino
