Manhattan's NoMad neighborhood has become quite the hot spot recently, with a bevy of buzzy new restaurants as well as the New York Edition hotel. The streak continues with La Pecora Bianca, an all-day Italian eatery from restaurateur Mark Barak of the popular French restaurant Claudette in Greenwich Village.
Chef Simone Bonelli—who worked under Massimo Bottura at Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy—prepares his modern Italian cuisine in a welcoming space designed by Nema Workshop and Chiara de Rege Interiors. The restaurant, which shares the St. James building with the new Rizzoli store, is situated in the former home of Havana Tobacco Company.
