About this business

There's a reason diners from all over the city clamor to squeeze into Bianca's low-lit and lovely little dining room, despite its no reservations policy. This is home-style Italian fare with finesse-where the pasta is cooked by someone accomplished in the understanding of what Italian pasta is and is not. Bianca's intimate and sultry atmosphere makes it a great date night spot, with couples knocking elbows over dishes like the lasagnette di verdure, a delicate eggplant, zucchini and tomato tart of sorts. Others delight in th... read more

Awful service – What a shame. The food's good, the prices are reasonable, the decor is pleasant. But the service ruined the experience. I ordered the spaghetti and asked for mozzarella on top. The waiter refused repeatedly. The manager said sure, we'll just charge extra. Sure. The spaghetti came, not with mozzarella on top, but rather with a separate caprese salad, and they charged me $11 extra. I brought it up with the manager who didn't see the problem. He admitted I should have been told it would cost $11 extra for my "mo... read more

Nothing special – We just came back from Italy and wanted to compare "notes" on pasta - this place was highly recommended and had a rating of 9.4. Whereas this is a nice place with pleasant staff, the pasta was very mediocre. I guess they just don't really know how to make it as special as it is in Italy.

Absolutely Superb – Don't miss out on the overall experience at Bianca. The food and service were impecable. The lasagna melts in your mouth. Worth the wait. Inexpensive.

I'll be back! – Very good overall. I chose this place because I wanted a small, dark, and intimate setting. Minus the host messing up and saying that he was going to get us at the bar next door when our table was ready... and never did, everything else went flawlessly. The service was very attentive, the food was good (minus the chicken liver) and although the restaurant is really noisy with everyone chatting away and the tables being so close to each other - the only conversation I could hear was the one I was having. I wil... read more

Delicious food, excellent service! – I was surprised to read so many good reviews on a restaurant. We tried Bianca last night for the first time and it was terrific. The service is impeccable and the homemade pasta is delicious.

Hidden jewel – My lover and I decided to try dinner here recently and we were very pleased with the everything about the place. The restaurant is romantic and cozy. We got there early so it was especially nice. The puff dough w/sliced Italian meats app is so good! The waiter was extremely helpful when we had questions about the menu. He also helped us select a superb red wine. My lover was extremely pleased with the choice. The prices for everything is very reasonable. Cant wait to go back for dinner again.

A great experience end to end! – From the ambience to the food, this was a great dining experience. All the food suggestions in the reviews are definitely true. We had the gnocchi appetizer, lasagna and the filet mignon, and it was all delicious. And if you like tartufo, they have a really great one. It's very romantic for couples and I'm sure we'll be back.

Charming and delicious! – My husband and I ate here on Saturday, we had a wonderful experience. It was one of the best meals we've had in the city for a long time. The lasagna was perfect, be sure to try to gnocco frito appetizer with cheese. The atmosphere and wait staff were charming.

Wonderful – Bianca was everything it was said to be. The food was amazing and the service was what you would expect for a small and busy rest. They only take cash and no reservations so you may have to wait at the bar next door where they will come and get you. Great Value!
