Italian Restaurants Near Bryant Park and the Winter Village
Priya Raman · October 22, 2026 · 7 min
Italian restaurants near Bryant Park by park edge: Olio e Più, La Pecora Bianca, Osteria Delbianco and Tony's, with hours, group rooms and rink timing.
Olio e Più at 5 Bryant Park, on Sixth Avenue, is the latest-closing of the four Italian restaurants checked near Bryant Park, open until midnight every day. La Pecora Bianca at 20 West 40th Street, Osteria Delbianco at 18 East 41st Street and Tony’s Di Napoli at 147 West 43rd Street, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, are the other three, each within a block or two of the park. Hours, prices and policies below come from each restaurant’s own website and the park’s own pages, checked in October 2026.
Bryant Park sits between 40th and 42nd Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues, so the useful question is which edge you leave from. The Bank of America Winter Village season starts on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, and its ice rink runs daily through February 28, 2027.

Which Italian restaurants are on the Sixth Avenue and 40th Street sides?
Olio e Più Bryant Park, 5 Bryant Park
Olio e Più’s site says guests can expect house-made pasta, fresh seafood and prime meats. Hours are 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM Monday through Friday and 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday.
The dinner menu lists pastas from $26 (lasagnetta classica) to $34 (short rib pappardelle), with spaghetti alla carbonara at $29. A Lunch Prix Fixe at $29 runs Monday to Friday from 11am to 4pm, with a starter and a main course, and an Aperitivo Hour runs 2pm to 6pm daily at the bar only.
La Pecora Bianca Bryant Park, 20 West 40th Street
La Pecora Bianca opens at 7am Monday through Friday, the earliest of the four, and says all of its pastas are made in house, at $26 to $30 on the menu. Its full hours and menu are in Italian restaurants near Grand Central, closest first; its private rooms are under groups below.
Which Italian restaurant is on the library side of the park?
Osteria Delbianco Bryant Park, 18 East 41st Street
Osteria Delbianco places itself half a block from Bryant Park and the New York Public Library and serves lunch and dinner seven days a week. Its site says the menu draws on family recipes from Emilia-Romagna. Hours are noon to 10pm Monday through Friday and 11:30am to 10pm on Saturday and Sunday.
The menu is posted as a PDF with no readable text, so no dish prices are quoted here. Online booking is open to parties of up to 10; larger groups use a private dining form.
Is there Italian on the Times Square side of the park?
Tony’s Di Napoli, 147 West 43rd Street
Tony’s is the family-style option: its page says full platters serve 2 to 3 people and half orders are not available for parties of 5 or more, so larger tables order full platters only. The phone is (212) 221-0100.
Hours are worth a call. The location block lists Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30AM to 11PM and Sunday and Monday from 11:30AM to 10PM, while a banner higher on the same page lists Sunday through Thursday as 11:30AM to 10PM, so Tuesday to Thursday closing is published two ways. The menu PDFs linked there include scanned files with no readable text, so no dish prices are quoted.
Where can I eat Italian near the Bryant Park ice rink?
The rink is open daily from 8am to 10pm, and from November 19 to January 3 it stays open until midnight; the rink page lists January 31 as 8am to 8pm. Admission is free, with rental skates available. The park says a skating reservation runs approximately 70 minutes from arrival to departure, and almost all sessions are 50 minutes long.
Cozy Igloos, which are heated and come with a set food and drink package, return on November 5, 2026, in 90-minute sessions for up to 8 guests. The igloo page says a package does not include the rink and that guests cannot go back and forth between the two. Package prices start at $259.61 in one place on that page and $253.96 in another, so confirm the total at checkout.
Those numbers point to three timing rules. Skate first and sit down after: treat the skate as a 70-minute block plus the walk, and book the table for afterward. Use the gap: Olio e Più’s Aperitivo Hour, 2pm to 6pm at the bar only, fits between an afternoon skate and a later table. And for a late skate, the rink page lists midnight from November 19 to January 3, the hour Olio e Più closes, although the park’s general hours page lists a 10pm close Monday to Wednesday in November and December, so confirm the day.
Which Italian restaurant near Bryant Park is open late?
Olio e Più is open latest of the four, until midnight every night. Tony’s Di Napoli lists 11PM closing on Friday and Saturday, with a Lunch/Post Theater menu available from 10:00 pm to close. La Pecora Bianca Bryant Park closes at 11pm Thursday through Saturday and 10pm on Sunday, and Osteria Delbianco at 10pm every night.
Which Italian restaurants near Bryant Park take groups?
Two of the four publish capacities. Olio e Più lists dining for groups of 12 to 20 and a full buyout of 130 seated or 150 standing. La Pecora Bianca lists The Library North and The Library South at a maximum of 30 guests each or 60 combined, a semi-private Alcove for 9 to 12, and buyouts for 70 to 150.
Tony’s and Osteria Delbianco publish rules rather than capacities: Tony’s has private rooms and requires a party package for parties of 15 or more, and Osteria Delbianco sends parties above 10 to its event form. For something other than a restaurant room, the park lists two private event spaces at Winter Village, the Overlook for up to 225 guests and the Polar Lounge for up to 50. Planners past fifteen can read this guide to private dining for groups of 15 or more first.
Getting there, and where else to look
The park’s directions list the B, D, F and M trains to 42nd Street/Bryant Park and the 7 train to 5th Avenue. Italian restaurants near Times Square, block by block covers Restaurant Row to the west, and Italian restaurants near Rockefeller Center and Radio City covers the other big holiday draw. Farther east, Giulietta, at 200 Park Avenue in the MetLife Building, opens at 7am on weekdays.
How these four were picked, and what to confirm
A restaurant made the list if its own site gives an address within a few blocks of the park, current hours and one more checkable detail: a menu price, a booking rule or a capacity. Dish prices appear only where the menu is readable text. Hours and menus change with the season, so confirm on the day, especially around Winter Village peak dates.
