Went there with a friend last week, and was delightfully surprised by the host's humor as he sat us... We were a bit chatty so it took us a while to decide what to order, but when we made it abundantly clear we were ready (closed the menu, looked around for our waiter) he was slammed from the recent filling of the space. We ended up placing our order with the host about 10 minutes later than we'd have liked to, but the host was, again, extremely kind. The food came quickly and my chicken was delicious, just seemed like they were a little understaffed for the night, or had a lot of people come in right after 8:00. Other than that, really cute, charming restaurant with a surprisingly good menu!
Pros: Food, Ambiance, cheerful Crowd
Cons: Perhaps understaffed.

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 "mozzarella on top" request but wouldn't do anything about it; he felt that our $40/person meals represented a good value so we shouldn't care. He cited the chef/owner's policies. Pathetic.
Pros: Good food and decor
Cons: Mean-spirited service

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.
Pros: nice staff
Cons: mediocre pasta

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.
Pros: Affordable, Charming, Delicious

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 will definitely go back! Plus, the bar next door is very nice too.

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.
Pros: romantic, food & service, price
Cons: noisy late

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.
Pros: Food, Atmosphere
