Pappardella

Since 1983, this family-owned fixture has anchored the neighborhood with a Tuscan-inspired interior, serving a rotating menu of daily specials that stretch from brick-oven pizzas to fresh fish and meats. The indoor space is bright and airy, making it an easy stop near Central Park and the Museum of Natural History. It is a place best enjoyed when you have the time for a relaxed, unhurried meal, supported by a warm, neighborhood-joint energy that has kept locals coming back for decades.
