A new Italian spot, offering salads and pizza, has debuted in the neighborhood. Called Il Gatto Nero, the fresh arrival is located at 2758 Broadway (between 106th St. & 107th St.) in the Upper West Side. This newcomer—located in the former Macchina space, which closed late last year—"specializes in simple, healthy, delicious food with a whimsical edge and artful presentation at an affordable price," according to its website. 

The extensive menu features a variety of pasta dishes, pizzas with both red and white sauces, entrées and more. If you're going the pizza route, expect to see variations like Italian buffalo mozzarella with basil and extra virgin olive oil; the "Naughty" with ham, mushrooms and artichokes; and a white "Stinky Cheese" pie with gorgonzola, smoked mozzarella and caciocavallo cheeses.
