replying to u/shmorkin3: Parla is solid. Service can be lacking though and it gets packed. They’re owned by the same people who own The Smith. The CEO, Jeffrey Lefcourt, is a member of the Sackler family, which launched OxyContin/ / the opioid epidemic, if that matters to you. Many people boycott The Smith but I don’t think as many people know they own Parla too.

replying to u/IvoShandor: UWSer ... we still love Parm. For what it is, it's one of our go to spots (with 2 kids). Try Parla, it's got a similar vibe. I'd call it new school italian, not the trapped in the 60s old school red sauce italian, but updated a bit but very accessible italian.
