Biba Wins Hands Down – Biba, hands down, it is the best restaurant in the city. The service begins at the front entrance, often with a greeting from Biba. You will need reservations. In the dining room professional service takes command. Confused over an appetizer? The staff recommends those that can be split, some are not on the menu at all. Entrees are always seasonal and run from the best duck you will encounter, veal milanese, osso bucco, ravioli as thin as silk, most pasta and all desserts are made on the premises. The ... read more
Disappointed!! – Granted the decor and attentiveness to detail was good, but the service and response from the manager to a few miscommunication concerns with the waitress was terrible. Never made it to the entrees because of a mix up with the appetizers. Was surprised that such an elegant establishment had a manager with such poor customer service skills. I will not go back.
Wow! – We went to Biba's to celebrate our anniversary and could not have been happier. Taking advice from another review, we asked to be seated in the bar area which proved to be a perfect choice. Everything was excellent, highlighted by Biba stopping to ask how things were & then dining at the bar so when we left we had a chance to thank her for a marvelous evening. Highly recommended. The prices are commensurate with quality & the wine list is very fair in pricing with about a 50% markup!
An honest review, must read... – My wife and I are pretty (very) picky about things like service, food, and attention to details when we eat out, (which seems like it's all the time). I read some reviews on the internet about Biba's and some of them almost made me cancel my reservaiton and go elsewhere, But I decided to go and find out for myself. After my visit to Biba's I highly recommend! The service from our "Sicilian" waiter, to the "youngest" buser in the place was flawless. My wife and I split an appitizer, split the ... read more
Tables for rent – The $$ spent for wine(not food) determine the time you are allowed to eat --- whether or not there are other tables available. At some clocked time, you are invited (ordered ?)back to the bar(for a free drink). If crowded, this policy might at least be comprehensible.
Good, but not great – Four of us went to Biba for my wife's birthday. We found the food very good, but not outstanding. I had the ossobuco which was very tasty and a romaine salad which was nothing special. The portions were quite large. The service was average- what I would expect in any restaurant. Some observations: 1. Whatever the web site may say, this is a smart casual place, not a jacket and tie place. Most men were in polo shirts and kakhis. I was one of the few with a sport coat. 2. The noise level is very high. Alt... read more
Celebrity chef Biba Caggiano serves seasonal northern Italian specialties at this perpetually packed restaurant. – The Scene Caggiano showcases the flavors of northern Italy on her menu.

great bar tenders and good music – Forget the stuffy loud seating areas, sit at the bar tip the pianist and chatter with the bar tender as you enjoy true haute cuisine. The gnocchi and the salmon dishes are amazing.
Good But Not Great – I've eaten here twice in the past four months. The first time was for lunch. My NewYork steak had clearly been cooked earlier and allowed to sit. It was served barely warm with Yukon potatoes which were dry and unappealing. My second visit was much more enjoyable. My lamb was succulent and delicious. I have no problem with the prices "you get what you pay for". But I do have a problem with the seating. You're packed in like sardines and the accoustics are terrible. I had to shout in order for my table gu... read more
