About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Charming
Good for groups

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

Trattoria Bianca was good but not amazing. It’s a great place to meet if you need to be close to Penn Station for commuting. Food was decent and service was fine. Better wine selections by the glass would be great - limited at least for white esp. Chardonnay.

2 of our meals were very bland with no flavor. The cheese plate only had 2 cheeses. Also rather bland. They did however make it right and took the 2 meals off the bill.

Booked this because we had a Knick game at the Garden. I didn’t realize it was in a hotel, I tend to stay away from these as they tend to be over priced and ordinary. I should have listened to my instincts. The ambience was nothing to write home about, the menu was small and unimaginative, the food was expensive and the quality was fair at best. Only bright spot was the server was very friendly and attentive. Overall a disappointing experience!
