If you like hearty, home-cooked meals that are consistently good (who doesn't?), then Pappardella is your jam. Located on the Upper West Side close to the Museum of Natural History, this Italian hotspot has been going strong for 40 years, serving its local clientele and tourists, too.
They are obviously doing a few things right as this space is usually packed, especially during the dinner rush. It’s family-owned and operated and has a homey vibe everyone can appreciate, which could be a big draw for repeat customers.
