    So we met friends for a Christmas get together dinner. We were seated right away. The server was attentive and quick to take our drink order and bring it to us. Our appetizer and entrees were delicious - those who had the salmon said it was tender and not over cooked, my filet mignon was perfectly done, and the pasta dish my friend had was the envy of the table. So no complaints about the food or service. My issue is the ambience and decor. Unless you are seated in a booth, the chair seating is uncomfortable. And while all the "wood" in the decor is nice it doesn't do much to warm the cavernous feel of the place. It is like sitting in a fancy cafeteria. I think Bianca is a great place for lunch or an impromptu dinner after a day of shopping. But for a lovely dinner out with friends I do not think it is the place to go.

    Service was absolutely terrible. It took 20 minutes for one of our drinks to come. It took even longer to get a drink that was just a soda. Appetizers came to the table, but no plates were on the table. Everything took longer than it should’ve and the Server we had was extremely incompetent. This was a huge disappointment.

    Very good service, food was very good, an enjoyable experience to have dinner and catch up with friends. Cauliflower app was excellent, tuna burger was pretty spicy but good, salads were very nice. Will be there again!

    Our waitress was great Asked for a booth, was told it was reserved for owner (deduct point). Caesar salad had brown romaine lettuce, thought dressing was tasty. The lettuce was cut small. All the pieces had some browning. They tried to mask this on the heavy thick dressing. They did split it in the kitchen for us and the portion was good.

    What a nice surprise! Stopped at Bianca on the way into town to avoid parking hassles. The restaurant is a very nice open space with lots of seating. When we left it was almost full and it wasn't that noisy. I could have done without the music however. it did not add anything to the amibience and was annoying. We split the chicken salad and the pistachio pesto pasta. The kitchen did a nice job of splitting and plating them for us. The salad was delicious .. very fresh and the dressing was sweet and spicy. The pasta dish was also very good. The pesto had a nice kick. I think it would have been too rich to eat a whole serving myself (just my opinion) but with the salad it was perfect. We ordered a side of focaccia which made it easy to sop up the dressing and pesto sauce. Our server was very attentive as were all of the staff. The menu had a lot of other interesting looking options. I would definitely go back there and try the pizza, which looked delicious, or other menu items. There were some nice dessert options but we were too full.
