Visit: January 2026 The food was really good here. Very high quality, extremely flavourful, and good portion sizes. The atmosphere was really really nice, and the service was top notch. I had the tagliatelle con Prosciutto al Limone and it was really really good. The prosciutto had a really strong cured meat and salty taste, it was excellent when paired with the creamy pasta. Would definitely have this again
The bruschetta was bland, and they used pea sprouts where basil would have been a better choice, as pea sprouts are mild and didn’t add to the flavour. Bruschetta should be bold and punchy, not mild and soft-flavoured. The rigatoni had potential but was missing depth and punch, and the pollo & pepper sandwich was also bland. On a positive note, the minestrone soup was good, though slightly spicier than expected. The service was excellent. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the staff handled our feedback professionally by comping the appetizers and drinks. The atmosphere was fine, nothing exceptional. Overall, the dishes could benefit from more seasoning and layers of flavour, especially for an Italian restaurant, but the attentive service and willingness to address concerns made the visit more enjoyable. We will be back to try the brick oven pizza.
We had an excellent experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is great. Our waiter was knowledgeable and made great suggestions. We had the Arancini to start and wanted to try the bruschetta as well. He ordered us 2 add on bruschetta so that we didn't have to get a full order. Both appetizers were absolutely delicious. The arancini was flavorful and moist. The bruschetta was delicious with the ricotta and beautifully blended flavors of the tomatoes and pesto. So good. My spouse had the rigatoni with arribbiata sauce and said it was amazing. I had campanelle aragosta. The shrimp and lobster were tender and flavorful, cooked perfectly. The pasta was a unique shape that I enjoyed and was cooked very well. I personally wasn't a big fan of the sauce, but that is really just personal taste. The waiter noticed that I didn't finish my pasta and asked if it was okay. I said that it wasn't for me and the only downside of the seafood was there wasn't enough of it! My spouse had tiramisu which he thoroughly enjoyed and I had a scoop of Gelato for dessert. When we went to pay the bill, the waiter had comped the tiramisu because he felt bad that I didn't enjoy my pasta. That was entirely unnecessary and so thoughtful. It made the experience that much better. We will certainly be back and I will get a different dish!
Bianco was such a pleasant surprise! The food was delicious and the portions were huge. We definitely over-ordered for two people — it was a bit much — but we were starving so we still managed to finish about 80% of everything⭐️ Everything tasted fresh, rich, and full of flavour, especially the pasta and the burrata. You can really tell the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into each dish. Happy hour mussels were fresh, tasty, and surprisingly filling for the price. Perfect spot for sharing plates, wine, and a long, cozy lunch/dinner with friends. Will absolutely be back!
We had a lunch reservation at Bianco, and our table was ready as soon as we arrived, which created a smooth start to the meal. We began with Cherry Bourbon Sour and Amaretto Smoke; both cocktails were thoughtfully prepared, well balanced, and an enjoyable way to ease into lunch. We had hoped to start with one of the mussel appetizer dishes, as both options sounded excellent. We were informed that the kitchen was out of mussels for the day, which was unexpected given our early seating at 11:45 a.m. Since several entrées also feature mussels, a brief heads-up when we were seated would have been genuinely helpful—both in setting expectations and in saving us the time spent reconsidering multiple dishes. In place of that, we ordered Involtini Melanzane, which was aromatic, well seasoned, and a very pleasant substitute. For our mains, we selected Casarecce al Ragù Bolognese and Campanelle Aragosta. The ragù was hearty and comforting, while the Campanelle Aragosta was the standout of the meal—rich, balanced, and exceptionally well executed. We didn’t have time for dessert on this visit, but it gives us a reason to return. The staff were warm and professional throughout, and the lively atmosphere added to an overall enjoyable experience. Despite the hiccup with the mussels, we had a great time at Bianco and look forward to visiting again to explore more of the menu.
