La Pecora Bianca / Giulietta

La Pecora Bianca, Italian for “the white sheep,” was founded by restaurateur Mark Barak in New York’s NoMad neighborhood in 2015 and has grown into a Manhattan favorite with locations across the city. House-made pastas like rigatoni vodka and tagliatelle Bolognese, burrata, and a lively aperitivo hour define the experience. Giulietta, the group’s newest concept, is an 11,300-square-foot all-day Italian restaurant at the landmark MetLife Building inspired by relaxed Mediterranean summers.
