Bella Luna

This neighborhood eatery offers a diverse menu featuring brick oven pizzas, homemade pasta dishes, and fresh seafood options. Locals rave about the restaurant’s signature dishes, including the Lamb Pappardelle with lamb ragu, the Bella Luna Pizza topped with wild mushrooms and truffle oil, and the Calamari.  My favorite is the Rigatoni Alla Norma. The restaurant also boasts an “Happy Always” happy hour with $8 wines and a $22 three-course prix fixe menu available daily from 12-6pm. The interior has a rustic-industrial decor, featuring exposed brick walls and warm lighting.  The restaurant’s commitment to quality, coupled with its reasonable prices and attentive service, has made it a staple on the UWS. Located at 574 Columbus Avenue (corner of W. 88th Street). 212.877.2267 https://www.bellalunanyc.com/
