Bar Bianchi

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!

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.

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.

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!

Friday evening at the newly open Bar Bianchi was a total hit! The space is fun and super inviting, a spacious outdoor seating perfect for people watching while sipping on a massive spritz. The crowd was gorgeous, the drinks were spot on, and the apps we tried were absolutely delicious..especially warm olives and meatballs! The GM Emanuele made us feel welcome and appreciated from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back for more!

An instant staple in the neighborhood! Unmatched food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. GM Lenny and the entire staff deliver the best new place to catch up with friends and eat great food

Bar Bianchi in New York is a hidden gem that perfectly embodies Italian elegance in the heart of the Big Apple. The moment you step through the door, you’re greeted by a warm, refined atmosphere a great food... staff members are always smiling and courteous.. especially Emanuele.. In conclusion, if you’re looking for a slice of Italy in New York where you can enjoy top-quality cocktails, savor authentic small plates, and experience attentive, welcoming service, Bar Bianchi is a must-visit. I can’t wait to go back!

Bar Bianchi is an absolute gem in NYC! As an Italian from Milan, it truly feels like home—great atmosphere, amazing food, and even better people. Emanuele is fantastic—warm, welcoming, and knows how to make every guest feel special. Highly recommend!

Bar Bianchi is a very cute Italian/euro-inspired bar in LES! I came here for a drink with my friends at around 4pm and it was pretty easy to get seated! We also got the grande aperol spritz and they were so delicious! Just be mindful that this place is a bit pricey ($20 per grande spritz), but it was enjoyable and it's for the ~vibes~. We only came here for drinks, so I cannot speak to their food, but their appetizers were good! We were given a complimentary plate of olives and potato chips, which were yummy and offsets the sweetness of our drinks. We also ordered the anchovies and an order of bread, which were good! Some people at my table found the drinks to be a little weak, which is disappointing for the price/size. I believe another review also pointed out how much ice they put, so it counters the amount of drink you get. I personally found the drinks to be find, but it's subjective. I would return if I was in the area! :)

We were fortunate enough to have scored a reservation at the hottest new restaurant in the Lower East Side thanks to my friend's sister. We shared multiple small plates, cocktails, and wine. Every dish was supreme and they've successfully create a fun and lively atmosphere. Check Bar Bianchi out and see what all the hype is about. I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Such a cute spot-- think outdoor, summer, spritz galore! This comes from the same owners as Le Dive/The Nines. It's a very Italian/Euro summer bar that serves fun alcohlic cocktails and light bites. I came and tried their Giuseppe Spritz and some of my friend's Aperol Spritz (us along with 90% of the restaurant). - Giuseppe Spritz (6/10): this is Bar Bianchi's version of a Hugo Spritz! I'd recommend getting the Grande size (only $3 more and so much more volume haha) I thought this wasn't bad but could've used more elderflower flavor. I would say that I enjoyed this but did feel like the drink was 80% ice... I will say one thing I loved was the complimentary olives and chips served with our drinks... made for some delicious salty bites!

The food was perfectly paired with our wide assortment of cocktails. The ambiance was casual and inviting. It was the perfect meetup spot for our 5 person group. We even brought a baby! The table service was similar to synchronized dancing. I am not sure if we had 1 server or several. We were well taken care of and I would return .

A fun, summery vibe at this new spot in LES -- felt very Parisian, is the hot ticket reservation at the moment! The waiters were really nice and great at making recs. The Aperol Spritz was good, but gets watery at the end. Zucchini Fries and Olives were fun to snack on, would come back to try other food.

If you're a fan of Le Dive and Elvis, Bar Bianchi, Bar Bianchi is the Milan-inspired aperitivo bar that just opened up in East Village, coming from the same family! They make their mozzarella and all their pastas in-house - we tried their burrata, the cripsy potatoes, the sauteed spinach, the Rigatoni de Nash, the Pappardelle Bolognese, and the Risotto Milanese. Note that each table receives a plate of complimentary ruffle chips and olives! If you're into spritzes, check their list out or ask for a recommendation. Staff and service were friendly and fun. +great shareables +spritzes available +friendly staff & service

This new spot is right down the street from where we live, and it's lovely addition to our neighborhood. We dined here on a Sunday afternoon. We sat outside and it was very sunny but overall lovely. We had great service - our waitress was so helpful with recommendations and just a bubbly kind person. Everything we ordered was a hit. We will be back!

Bar Bianchi might fancy itself the latest "it spot" in New York, but don't let the candlelight and cocktails fool you--beneath the surface is a complete disregard for hospitality and basic human decency. We were told the wait would be 45 minutes. Fine. We grabbed drinks at the bar and settled in. At the 30-minute mark, we politely checked in--only to be told, with an alarming lack of concern, that the wait was actually three hours. No apology. No explanation. Just a smirk and a shrug. It felt less like a mistake and more like a message: you're not who we want here. When I asked to speak to a manager, I was met with a level of condescension I haven't encountered in years. He was unhelpful, dismissive, and frankly, rude. (And while I hate to get personal--his breath could've cleared the room faster than any fire alarm.) And here's the part that truly left a mark: I'm a 61-year-old native New Yorker enjoying a night out with my 25-year-old daughter. We are both seasoned, city-savvy, and well-versed in dining in this town. We weren't confused, demanding, or entitled--we were simply asking for clarity. The way I was looked at, dismissed, and outright disrespected made one thing painfully clear: if you're not in their 20-to-30-something demo, you're invisible. The ageism was unmistakable--and inexcusable. Bar Bianchi is all style, no soul. It mistakes exclusivity for excellence and arrogance for ambiance. The novelty may draw crowds for now, but trust me--this place is a flash in the pan. Give it six months, a year at best, and New York will move on--as it always does--leaving behind another overpriced, overhyped, underwhelming blip. If you're looking for genuine hospitality, skip Bar Bianchi. There's nothing chic about being treated like you don't belong. Hopefully the money they rake in during their short-lived moment helps the manager afford a decent dentist--because the attitude wasn't the only thing that stunk. And to the bartender who showed us grace when we said we were leaving because of how poorly we'd been treated--thank you. He apologized sincerely, refused to charge us, and showed the kind of class this place so desperately lacks.

Loved the drinks and the vibes!! They have jumbo size spritz's which was so cute and fun. Food was underwhelming but overall a great spot to grab drinks! Vibes are 10/10

Was super excited to try this new spot as the vibes inside are fabulous. That's pretty much where the good stuff ends. The service is extremely poor we waited at least 20 minutes for our drinks and anything post that it was impossible to flag a waiter down. The margarita I got was clearly just mixed with sour mix rather than actually using lime. For the amount paid that's pretty disappointing. The biggest disappointment however was the food. Took ages to come out and the pasta had eight pieces of tortellini on it. Eight! For $23 we couldn't believe it. Ended up going to bar revival down the street for a decent serving of pasta since we were starving after.

Great vibe, love that you can put your name down on waitlist and go about your day while you woat for table. Delicious food, although portions are pretty small.

My roommates and I who have lived in the area were SO excited to come here and planned our week around it. We put our name in at 6:30. Told it'd be a 2-hour wait, which was fine. We planned for that. Showed up at 8:30, ordered drinks by 8:45. But by 10pm? Still no one had taken our dinner order, while every other table around us was being served. We flagged someone down and finally placed our order. My roommates' and my food came out, except one of their dishes was completely missing, and the food we did get was freezing cold. We sent it back. It took 45 more minutes for it all to come out again, this time with the missing dish. At that point, we said something (nicely) about how long everything had taken, the cold food, the re-wait. The waiter basically said "okay" and took accountability in the most rude way, offered to just take the food away, as if we were the issue. All attitude, no accountability. The only redeeming moment was Craig, genuinely sweet and tried to turn the night around. Another waitress brought us specialty drinks to make up for it, which we appreciated, but the staff was already giving us looks like we were the problem. We live in the area, and this was supposed to be our fun "last hurrah" dinner. With all the TikTok hype, we were so let down. Would not recommend. Plenty of other spots in the city that know how to handle a busy night and treat guests with respect.

Yum. So good! Like. So good. So so so good. Yum! Yum yum yum! Soooooo good. Oooooh boy. So good! Mmmmmm.

Fantastic food and service. Along with a great atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to hang out, drink and enjoy some food.

Bar Bianchi features delicious food, good service from a friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere in a convenient location.
