🍝 Comfort Food, Uptown

Sweet potato hazelnut tortellini gives this Upper East Side bistro a reason to interrupt your usual pasta rotation. At Cafe Commerce, chef Harold Moore serves American comfort food with French and Italian influences, bringing his West Village restaurant story to Lexington Avenue. Rabbit pappardelle joins tender short rib and a twenty herb salad on the menu, with enough range for the table to take different directions.

The room is intimate and welcoming, with walk in bar seating for a meal that starts without a reservation. Take that seat for a spontaneous stop, or make the bistro the planned dinner.

Pavlova closes the meal. This Upper East Side bistro at 964 Lexington Avenue runs daily from quarter to noon until 10 PM, with prices at the top of the range.
