Bianca

"Bianca has great reviews so I was excited to eat there after researching a lot of brunch spots in the area. Sadly I had a below average experience. I ordered the egg white frittata which was okay but nothing special. It didn’t come with anything and was watery, although I know frittatas can be watery depending on ingredients and that it’s normal so I won’t hold that against them. I ordered sides of bread and avocado - the avocado came out but the bread didn’t. I asked for the bread after waiting ten minutes and was told it was coming. I thought it was odd to bring the bread out last instead of first… still waiting and no bread so we had to ask a second time, then a waiter got it and it didn’t have any butter with it or anything. Much like the frittata there’s no garnish or sides or anything, just very basic. We were served by multiple waiters, so I think communication was bad, and honestly some of the waiters seemed distracted and out of it. I hate leaving bad reviews but I was disappointed and had even canceled reservations at a different spot because I thought Bianca would be better, and was meeting a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time so I wanted it to be a good dining experience. It must’ve just been an off day for them. There was a marathon on outside so maybe the staff were flustered. The atmosphere is great though it’s quite lovely and the maître des were very nice and warm. My friend wasn’t impressed either and we don’t plan on coming back because there’s a lot of other spots in culver that I wouldn’t risk doing Bianca a second time."

"The reason I gave this restaurant 4 stars is that I searched for brunch, maps came up with this place. Not their fault, but unfortunately, the brunch menu is only available on weekends. The lunch food was quite good, tho a bit pricey. This is more like a $$$ place. Caprese & Cacciuccio quite tasty. Food preso was nice. They also were accommodating in seating us before lunch menu opened, extra points for good service."

"Tried their lunch menu on a rainy day and was not disappointed. The waitstaff are very kind and attentive and made sure we were well taken care of even as the restaurant got pretty busy. The restaurant interior is very cozy and inviting. I ordered the cacciucco as my main; the rich broth was so comforting I was in seafood heaven! Cocktails and coffee were the icing on top. I’ll be back soon for some pasta, so many options that looked delicious."

"Bianca has a cool little ambience and brings the vibes. Didn’t have a full full vegan menu but hey for what I got I definitely can appreciate it. Parking is street or on lot. Semi fine dining so come looking a little fresh and not sloppy. I just got the soup and a salad. I wish they had another vegan dish but you know this will do it for now :)"

"I visited during breakfast hours and chose the outdoor seating, but unfortunately, I ended up with 9 mosquito bites. As for the food, it's delicious but on the pricier side. The decorations are pleasing, creating a good ambiance for dates. However, if you're primarily focused on the food and value for money, there are better options in LA with more affordable prices. So, while it's a nice place for a date, keep in mind that there are places offering tastier food at a lower cost. Maybe give their dinner menu a shot next time and see if it offers a different experience!"
