Unobtrusively tucked in between other restaurants at the end of Bleecker Street, it is very likely you could walk right by it and not even know its there. What a mistake that would be! This is a great little restaurant that has great food and wine at affordable prices. A few things to know: Bianca's only accepts cash, The restaurant... More

My gf and I ate here for the first time last month....and promptly returned the following weekend! The food is excellent (the salmon and orata entrees are KILLER) and the prices are crazy cheap ($10-$12 for pastas and $15 for fish). I guarantee you that you will not get a better dinner for two for under $60 (no booze) or... More

This place was a welcome surprise during our visit to NYC. The place is cozy...kind of like dining in an Italian house complete with kitchen and bathroom! Wait staff was great and attentive. The food was really good and seasoned just right.It is definitely a great touch of NYC! The desserts were fabulous as well. Needless to say it was... More

Bianca is now on my must-do list everytime I visit New York! The food is absolutely delicious and very well priced. The grilled fish has been absolutely perfect every time and I was impressed by the generous portion size. I would highly recommend starting with the Gnocco Fritto appetizer with cheese. Bite into the dough and then stuff the cheese... More

Good food, wine and desserts, can stand the test with European restaurants, but with the speed of American restaurants. Group of 10 people, they made an effort to seat us. The lamb is definitely a recommendation! More

A SoHo resident recommended this local restaurant to me 3 years ago and I've been going regularly ever since. My boyfriend and I love it. I've brought my friends there and family and they all loved it. The menu is small but EVERYTHING on it is great. My favorite appetizers are the grilled calamari/shrimp and eggplant/zucchini lasagna. All the pastas... More

I have never been to a restaurant where you could not even hear the person sitting at your table, even while yelling! The place was full and there appeared to be large groups of people, which may have accounted for the tremendous noise, however the walls were brick all the way around, from what I could see. We were tucked... More
