Italian
An informal Italian restaurant serving traditional favorites along with excitingly new dishes. Trattoria Bianca is a favorite of locals, business people and travelers in midtown.
Bright and mostly white, it is a sleek reinterpretation of Italian Art Deco along with the owner's collection vintage food and wine posters.
Bianca's menu ranges from a simple bowl of spaghetti carbonara to a Tuscan-style steak and a bottle of old Barolo. Featured dishes: shrimp scampi on soft polenta; frisee salad with fried oysters, poached egg, and pork belly; seafood fritto misto; salmon saltimbocca-style with sage and crispy pancetta; numerous pastas and superb pizzas; Chianti- braised short rib, and lamb shank in rich pan juices. For lunch there are heaping salads and inventive sandwiches using Italian ingredients

    A bright room, but it was lunchtime. I normally prefer dimly lit dining. Our waiter was excellent. He was friendly, professional, and patient. One of our party of 4 wanted to wait to order food…while we drank wine. The poor waiter was held up for 2 hours before we ordered. But that was OUR fault. Overall a lovely lunch experience.

    I’ve been there many times. Food is good and not overpriced. They have a nice selection of wines. The service is excellent if you’re lucky enough to get Tina. She is the nicest, most pleasant person.

    Trattoria Bianca is a restaurant that is located near MSG and Hudson Yards. It is a great location on 8th avenue. It is in the New Yorker Hotel which is iconic. The food is outstanding, and it is an overall good value. It is nosier especial when there is an MSG event. Make a reservation and expect that the services is average but not slow.

    So reading other reviews , I was a little worried that being so close to MSG it might be a little bit of a tourist trap. My impression is was not . We met up with family from Ireland staying at the New Yorker on a Sunday evening when there was a basketball game at MSG and it wasn’t too busy. Service was good and attentive but not rushed . Started with a bunch of apps , great shrimp cocktail, wonderful pork based meat balls , pretty decent crap cakes and assorted meat and cheese platter and mozzarella fritti. Guys did beers and girls did wine. Wife liked the house Cab . After all the apps , keep it light with variety of pizza for entrees . Decent pizza with crispy thin crust . Keep leftovers for future snack. Overall very satisfied and would go there again .

    Great service, great bartenders, friendly host and great food. The decor is a little strange - like it doesn’t match the menu - but it was a great place to go before Springsteen at the Garden.

    Had the eggplant parm, it was good and the sauce is good. I had the beet salad, but I’m not a fan of it. I love the yes, salad was mostly arugula and I really did not like the dressing. The beets are sliced really thin and only four or five.

    Deco is a bit 80s diner-ish. But the food was very good. Burratta and prosciutto delish. Carbonara yummy. Pappardelle bolgnese also very good. Nice size portions too! Recommended.

    Restaurant had a “diner” vibe instead of an Italian restaurant. Service was great - our waitress was very personable but the food was terrible. If you know good Italian food this is not the place to go. Sorry but I would not recommend.
