Seems to be understaffed, or staffed with new servers. But the food was outstanding. Chunky hummus, really great foccaccia, excellent burrata apps. Chopped salad w/ chicken/blue cheese/bacon was good, not great. Short rib entree was also very good, not great but enough for two. Cocktail (the Arboretum) was EXCELLENT. Mushroom dip sandwich was excellent and generously sized. Desserts were great.

Nice restaurant atmosphere. Food was very good, although the menu is a little challenging. It is a large space and there were a lot of families with young kids. By the end of our meal, the crowd changed a bit and was older, so would be mindful of that when booking and what works best for your needs.

Food nothing to write home about…bucatini noodles very soft, not al dente. Burrata salad oddly sweet…maybe we were unlucky and ordered the wrong items. Don’t think I’ll be returning.

Went to restaurant for Mother's Day. Ordered the salmon entree, the piece salmon was small and came with no sides. Ordered a side salad which was undressed with wilting lettuce. My two companions ordered the same dinner salads and they looked completely different. One salad had Romaine and mixed greens with red leaf lettuce, the other had wilted romaine. We were given another tables check in error at the end of the meal. We were not impressed and will not be going back.

Bianca’s was really good. The service was excellent. Because of the location, the kids playing outside was a little loud. Some nice music would be a welcome addition. The muscles were really good. I could dip bread in there all day. The drinks were delicious: get the Cardi Bee. Overall a great experience. I gave the value 4 stars because they charged for extra sourdough bread when they only give 2 small slices. I would definitely go back.

Food was good. Portions were a little small and grilled dishes were a la carte - nothing wrong with that but $29 for five shrimp with romesco sauce (zero sides) is pretty steep. I did enjoy the dish and the grilled veg I ordered as a side. Fried chicken was meh.

Trying Bianca for the first time, everything was GREAT! Hostess was very accommodating in allowing us to situate ourselves as we hoped, recognizing if it were busier she would be somewhat more limited, but she was very kind. Our server was equally friendly, pleasant, efficient and attentive, and made the whole experience most enjoyable. We both thoroughly enjoyed our Caesar salad to start, I can honestly say it was the most visually pleasing, delicious Caesar salad I have had irrespective of the dining locations …. Incredibly fresh, perfectly arranged with exactly the best and most balanced amount of cheese, croutons, anchovies, and dressing, it was perfect! We both ordered a pasta dish, mine was the ‘deconstructed ravioli with pesto, my husband the bucatini with mushroom, my pastas was delicate and delicious, the bucatini perfectly cooked and flavorful, we ended with a chocolate dessert which sealed the deal…. Will look forward to returning!

I have been there twice and both time the food was excellent. The portions are well sized, the ingredients are fresh and service was perfect. Try the brussel sprouts, they are excellent. The menu is not huge but there are enough choices for everyone to find something they will enjoy. They had a nice wine list, a little on the expensive side, with lots of choices. There are 3 desserts and all are delicious.
