Considering the high-quality of the food combined with the charming atmosphere, the prices at Bianca are shockingly low. Pastas are all under $12 and there isn't a protein dish that exceeds $15. The tiny space is country-chic with homey porcelain plates displayed on wooden shelves. Low-lighting, along with wooden floors and brick walls keeps the vibe cool and fresh. As for the food, the menu hits many favorites, including a savory tagliatelle alla bolegnese, traditional Roman meat lasagna, and a simple spaghettini with tomato and basil. The gramigna pasta with crumbled sausage and red bell pepper is one of our favorites, packed with a little heat, but mild enough to lure anyone with a salty appetite. The only downside to this cozy spot is the no-reservation and no-credit card policy. But there is a solution! While waiting for a table, we recommend uncorking a bottle of wine at the bar next door. The drinks (and tab) can be transferred to Bianca once you score a seat.

About Us
We are young (early 20's) and hungry (for knowledge! music! art! food!) friends living on (or in areas which border) Manhattan. We moved to the city seeking higher education, and an alternative to frat parties and gin buckets. We prefer a bottle of Chianti to a keg, lunches at City Bakery to a dining hall, Joe's to Starbucks, Frankie's Amatriciana to Batali's. Our uniting factor is our love for food. For detailed, personal information, keep reading.
