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

Fantastic – This is truly one of the nicest dining experiences I have had in NY. The food was delicious, I had the filet mignon. My boyfriend had the salmon, which also tasted perfect.... and everyone else who has posted about the tiramisu are right on-- the best I have ever had. The place is small but with a really nice ambience. I'm so happy I discovered this place, I will definitely be back.

Cozy and classy – The staff were utterly delightful and helpful, the food great - although my appetiser was a tad oily - and it's a lovely place for an intimate dinner. REMEMBER CASH ONLY! And the tables a deux are a little close together, so don't take tons of bags.

Simple, assured northern Italian fare in a cozy space. – White walls, bright wood and exposed brick give a homey feeling to this snug East Village trattoria. Although the restaurant is carefully assembled and managed, the low prices and informal vibe have a mellowing effect. Service is warm and competent, if occasionally rushed. The regional Italian cooking is joyfully simple. Pillowy fried dough rectangles partner well with an array of salami as a starter; an intensely flavored appetizer of chicken livers in balsamic reduct... read more

Bianca - very good – Very good food w/ a menu to please everyone, friendly and informal service, nice ambience and an excellent value. Always crowded and for good reason, I'll definitely go back. One note, despite Citysearch saying it takes credit cards, it's actually cash only.

Bianca Dining Experience-One of the Best – We heard of Bianca from a New York email newsletter and decided to give it a try. We were promptly seated, and both commented on the feel of the restaurant. It's like being in an old Italian country kitchen. The waitress took our order right away, and the food was phenominal. The Gnocchi was the best we've ever had and the cream sauce was yummy, with just the right consistency. It had the best flavor. The pasta was so tender. We ordered the Tiramisu for dessert...it melts in your mo... read more

Warm, classy & affordable – I took 2 friends earlier this week, and we were all impressed by the lovely atmosphere, friendly service and yummy food. The halibut special was a favorite, but I loved my tagliatelle bolognese, too. we'll definitely go back.

Nicest restaurant experience ever! – Thinking back on my dining experience at Bianca makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The waiters are courteous, they take care of you, they genuinely care about your experience...it was a revelation! The gnocci was not great, but the tiramisu was TO DIE FOR! Seafood pasta was also very good.

Loved this place – Had an amazing dinner at Bianca on Saturday night. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and the food was ridiculously delicious. Try the halibut special if it's available. Friendly service, great menu and reasonable prices. Would go back in a heartbeat.
