La Perla Nascosta — Restaurant in New York

If you’re craving Italian on the Upper West Side, this place hits the spot. The vibe is cozy without trying too hard—perfect for a weeknight dinner or a relaxed date night. The pasta tastes fresh and homemade, with just the right balance of flavor (the kind that makes you want to mop up every last drop of sauce with bread).

Service is friendly and laid-back, which adds to the neighborhood feel. It’s not overly fancy, but that’s the charm—you get solid Italian comfort food without the fuss. Prices are reasonable for the area, and portions are generous enough that you’ll probably leave with leftovers.

Overall, it’s the kind of restaurant you’ll find yourself coming back to when you want a reliable, satisfying Italian meal...

We loved our first visit to the newly opened La Perla Nacosta. Our family has been dining in this location for old school roman Italian food for over 10 years, first when it was Coppola's, more recently Ciao Paisan. The owners, name and decor have changed, but the chef, the menu, the delicious food, and warm friendly service, has remained consistent and satisfying. Nothing fancy here, but the price is right, and experience reliable if you want a warm and inviting neighborhood Italian restaurant to feed your family. Good luck to the new owner who was a former employee, runs the place and treats you like family. We wish you...

Just had the seafood plate at this brand-new spot on the Upper West Side and… wow. If you’re into mussels, clams, shrimp, and all that good stuff, this dish is a must. Everything was super fresh, cooked just right, and the broth had that perfect garlicky, herby kick that makes you want to grab a piece of bread and soak up every last drop.

The place just opened, but it already feels like it’s going to be one of those neighborhood favorites. Cozy vibe, friendly staff, and you can tell they care about what’s coming out of the kitchen. Definitely planning to come back and next time, I’m...
