Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We stopped in for an afternoon spritz and Bar Bianchi did not disappoint! The space was lively and had a light and fun atmosphere. The windows open up making it feel like you are part of the outdoor seating area. Add this to your list of great places to grab a cocktail!"
"The restaurant space is beautiful; I truly felt like I was eating at a corner in a European city. The Rigatoni di Nash was delicious and you can’t go wrong with a grande-sized Aperol spritz. Highly recommend!"
"I’m surprised that there are quite a few negative reviews for this place. I got a hugo spritz (which isn’t on the menu but they’ll make it if you ask) and it was delicious, along with the cacio e pepe pasta. It’s a perfect portion and absolutely amazing. Probably one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had- not to be dramatic. The vibes are really good, I was sat at the bar (which I would usually avoid) but I think it added to the atmosphere here. Bringing all my friends next time and will definitely be back. Special thank you to the bar people for being super friendly and most importantly- they know how to make a proper, good hugo spritz."
"LOVE this new spot from Jon Neidich and his Golden Age Hospitality Group. Everything was fantastic from the vibe/ambiance - it's a beautiful spot, to the service and the food I ordered was perfect. It also undoubtedly helped that I came on a gorgeous sunny day right at 4pm when they open. I can highly recommend the cheese and the salumi platters. I also ordered the chocolate budino because the tiramisu was not yet ready. The budino needs work. They also have pastas and other main courses on the menu. The two cocktails I ordered were excellent: the gin martini and the mezcal negroni which I asked to have served up vs. in a rock's glass and they were happy to oblige. Based on this first visit, I think this is going to be a huge hit especially over the summer months with the outdoor seating."

"LOVE. This is THE scene you want to be apart of, sit and enjoy glass after glass! Great corner spot and difficult not to want to order one of everything on this delicious little menu. Service staff were attentive, helpful and not pushy, while also kind and charming."
"We had a wonderful experience at Bar Bianchi! The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were excellent, and the service was truly outstanding. A special thank you to Emanuele, who took great care of us friendly, professional, and attentive to every detail. He even recommended Barraco winery that was incredible!. He really made our visit special. Highly recommended!"
