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

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!

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.
