Water & Wheat

Water & Wheat Upper West Side is a freshly opened Italian-American restaurant, bringing a modern twist to classic pasta and Italian comfort food. The new location debuted in September 2025, expanding the Water & Wheat brand from its original Upper East Side roots to the UWS. Chef Konstantinos Moschos and his team pride themselves on pasta crafted daily in-house—diners can select both their pasta shape and sauce—alongside artisanal pizza flatbreads, seasonal specialties, and Italian staples like risotto, lasagna, salads, and chicken parmesan.
