This place got soul. The second the bread hits the table you already know you made the right decision. Everything tastes like somebody's grandmother is in the back making sure the sauce is done properly. No shortcuts no nonsense just beautiful food made with pride. The rigatoni bolognese is rich and serious the kind of pasta that makes you slow down for a minute. The cacio e pepe tastes like Rome. Fresh seafood fresh pasta real ingredients. Even the pastries got respect put on em. That pistachio bostock and the cannoncini? Forget about it. Dangerous in the best way possible. And the people running the place got class. Hospitality like the old days. They make you feel important when you walk in not like another table to turn over. Good food good wine good energy. This ain't just dinner this is an experience. A little piece of Italy in Los Angeles and they do it the right way. read more

Stopped in here for Easter brunch. Restaurant was beautifully decorated, staff is friendly. Great to see the both chefs/owners there. Bread basket a hit as usual. Argentine facturas: Wonderful! Eggs benedict: Nicely done, excellent presentation. Although I recommend not sharing it, my yolk was missing. :-) Everything is just wonderful, it remind me of home and I absolutely love the plating. Only thing needing improvement is the coffee. The Americano was served cold, and the regular coffee too watered down. Perhaps next time I will just order a cappuccino, or cortado. read more

It has a private, upscale feel, but the chef and staff are very friendly, which makes me want to come back. Parking can be an issue, but the taste and atmosphere more than make up for it. The bread and pastries are absolutely delicious. read more

First off, the staff was incredible and so attentive. We sat out on the patio, and it was the perfect spot for sunset. They also have heaters available in case it gets chilly, which made the experience even more comfortable. The food was delicious! We started with the bread basket and the Argentinian prawn carpaccio. My favorite bread was the multigrain seeded loaf perfectly baked with amazing texture and flavor. The prawn carpaccio tasted so fresh, with bright peppers and a small piece of orange that really made the flavors pop. For our mains, I had the fettuccini special with asparagus and fried pork, while my boyfriend ordered the monkfish "poor man's lobster." Both dishes were packed with incredible flavor and cooked beautifully. We finished with an affogato and Grandma's chocolate cake, perfection! Everything was delicious. We're already looking forward to coming back to try more items from the menu and the bakery! read more

We came for their DineLA lunch menu which was $45 for 3 courses and we were so glad we did! All food and drinks were very tasty. The fuggazetta pizza was unique with a dough that was so pillowy and soft that was perfect with against bite of the onions and tang of the olives. The french onion soup was rich and cozy with the perfect cheese pull. The chicken sandwich was juicy with a bit of a kick which went well with the refreshing slaw. The pasta was solid -- a standard, textbook bolognese. The only miss for me was the olive oil cake which while nice and moist was a little too heavy on the olive oil flavor so it tasted a bit like you were eating a foccaccia with cream. The outdoor patio was pretty and quiet for an al fresco weekday lunch and we also appreciated that it was dog-friendly! read more

A friend and I came for the $45 DineLA lunch, and bc a friend who had been here before, recommended it. She was right! Everything was delicious. We had the Margherita pizza although it was more like 4" than the 6" the menu claimed, French onion soup (I've had French onion soup at other places where it was filled to the brim with a crust on top, and this had less, but enough.), New Zealand salmon was light and delicious the way I wanted it - thanks to our server who asked how we wanted our salmon cooked, Grandma's chocolate cake, and olive oil cake to top our 3-course meal. Service was excellent. We sat on the patio with heat lamps. Nice ambience inside and outside. Parking in the building was $2/hr where my friend parked. I was able to find ample street parking on National and didn't mind the 10 minute walk. I'd recommend doing the DineLA lunch that ends 2/6! read more

This is the second time I've had lunch at Bianca and I will say it is for sure not the last time. The first time I had lunch it was good but nothing that was too over or under whelming. Today Bianca was firing on all cylinders. Our server Brian was fantastic. He had good recommendations especially when I asked for the dessert choice. I'll come back to that. Today everything was on point. The service, top notch. Brian coursed our meal perfectly and checked in on us to see when we needed more time with something or if we needed our table cleared. The weather was so nice and maybe that added to the overall ambiance behind the hedge wall. I felt like everyone in and outside of the restaurant was enjoying their time. We shared the Tartare De Thon, very clean and refreshing. Using the lettuce cup instead of the bread was nice. We also shared the delicious burrata and peach salad. The freshest peach and creamiest burrata. A must get if you ask me. Brilliantly plated with lettuce cups to assist and a little kiss of a cherry tomato. Our main dishes were the Milanese and the Branzino. The branzino was shown table side then taken back for deboning. The flavor within that dish was to die for. A slight squeeze of lemon and muah chefs kiss. The Milanese looked great and was presented with a sunny side up egg on top. The mashed potatoes that came with it were nicely done. I asked Brian between three dessert, crème brûlée, cheesecake and the olive oil cake. He recommended the Cheesecake and I have to say I cannot Imagine that any desert could be better. It was light and creamy and perfectly sized to finish off a great meal. I was going to give the review four stars using a mix of my first and second times here. But honestly it was so good today it was every bit a 5 star experience. read more

Bianca has the best Italian food We ordered the bread basket with butter was perfect and fresh The branzino has a lot of flavors and came with mixed veggies and potatoes my husband ordered the saffron risotto and the dessert was to die for the apple tart with fresh made cream and the chocolate cake I have to say I loved the apple tart nice ambiance and quick service read more

I don't like Mondays, because that is one day that Bianca is closed. But as soon as they are open for the week, this place is absolutely THE place! Bianca is our go-to for everything, local bakery, café, meeting spot, and caterer all in one. The vibe is warm and inviting, and I especially love watching the bakers in action through the open window. Federico is always there bright and early, and no request ever feels too small, his hospitality like a good neighbor really stands out. My go-to order? Iced matcha latte, Margherita pizza, Fuggazetta pizza, a fresh loaf of bread, chocolate croissant, honey croissant... and honestly, more chocolate croissants. We loved it so much that we asked Bianca to cater (again!) for a school event, and they absolutely delivered. Our guests were genuinely excited, there were audible gasps seeing the spread. It truly felt like we shared a little bit of Bianca's magic with everyone that day. We love supporting local businesses, and this is one we'll keep coming back to. Thank you, Chef Fede and Chef Gianni, for leading your team with such care, passion, and magic. read more

Bianca delivers a fugazzeta that is a whole experience. This Argentinian style pizza is rich, cheesy, and incredibly satisfying. The layers of cheese and onions come together with a great crust that holds everything perfectly. It is indulgent in the best way and something every pizza fan should try at least once. A unique pizza style that stands out in the LA pizza scene and definitely worth ordering when you visit. read more

Terrible customer service. Called 4 hours in advance of a lunch reservation on Mother's Day while they weee fully booked and had a waitlist as well as a walk up line outside. Restaurant insisted on a $105 cancelation for for a party of 3 while my child was sick - told me to just bring the sick child to the restaurant. Person on the phone said there was no owner or manager on site, and that the owner refused to waive the fee even though they would clearly be able to fill the spot with another guest. read more

Bianca is the kind of place, that makes you wish you were in Italy, Argentina, or France eating brunch. The name Bianca honors the Vietina brothers' grandmother -- and you can feel the nonna energy the second you walk in: warmth and charm. We kicked things off with a Hot Mocha and the unforgettable Chocolate Submarino, Argentina's answer to hot chocolate. Imagine a block of chocolate doing a slow tango into your steamed milk until the whole cup becomes delicious drinking chocolate. Then came the Bread and Marmalade Basket -- Homemade marmalade, butter, and assorted fresh breads. We continued with the Smoked Salmon Toast (scrambled eggs, smoked salmon), the Croque-Madame (prosciutto cotto, comté, gruyère, and a sunny-side-up egg), and the Eggs Benedict on focaccia, and then... Ricotta Pancakes. Fluffy, delicate and sweet. Could they have been warmer? Yes. Did we eat every bite...yes! The service was impeccable as well. Don't even think about leaving without visiting the bakery -- it's like walking into the carb dimension of your dreams. Small breakfast menu, but the bakery steals the show. At 11:30 AM, the lunch menu appears like magic. (I'm already planning my return -- probably with looser pants.) read more

Pastries and baguettes are amazing. We love them! Food (sit down) is overpriced. I hate to say it, but staff hasn't improved. They don't acknowledge customers when they walk in. They take FOREVER behind the pastry counter. But, def go for the pastries and baguettes! Just know you'll need patience at the counter. read more

Ambiance: it's a cafe style restaurant located in Culver City, convenient to the metro station, cozy outdoor seating but overly packed indoor tables Service: to be honest, not all servers were nice, some were so rush and forgetful, didn't get water refilled even after asking, and they almost took away the plate while still working on Food & Drink: mainly Italian inspired breakfast and brunch menu ENTRAÑA SANDWICH - *** grilled skirt steak, Brie cheese, rucola, tomato, overall flavor was fine, however, overcooked steak dry and rubbery texture, not so fresh greens with rotten leaves CACCIUCCO - **** from their wood-burning oven, including shrimps, calamari, mussels, clams, scallop, tomato-saffron broth, if it's not because of this dish, I probably would rate this place a two stars only, very flavorful broth and perfectly cooked seafood, the only downside is that bread was slightly burnt, still recommend for the taste Caramel Latte - ** so watery taste Price: medium portions and overpriced for its quality, not worth $40+ per person for a mediocre lunch meal read more

One of my favorite spots for brunch! Everything here is good. This is a place you come for the coffee & best pastries of your life. This is owned by the family behind Madeo, an LA staple. Their crossiants are incredible and all the food as well. The staff and service are always incredible and the vibe of the does not feel like you are in LA. Always a 10/10. read more

We showed up on a Saturday for lunch to try the dinela menu. We sat at the bar since it was quite busy and we didn't make reservations. 3.7 stars, rounded up to 4. This is the sister restaurant to Madeo and more easily accessible to with their bakery and lunch menus. They were very friendly with their regulars. The appetizers: onion soup was okay. The fugazetta pizza was pretty good. The gnocchi was the star dish. The pillowy soft gnocchi in the tomato sauce with a hint of basil was delicious. The rigatoni was very good, but I kept going back and stealing gnocchi from my husband's bowl. The chocolate cake was good and very generous sized slice. Lemon tart was refreshing and light. The service was very slow at the end of our meal. Our server seemed to go on break, but we weren't made aware. It took a very long time to get out bill and pay. read more

The pastries at Bianca are delicious. The drinks are good sometimes. They were open for lunch on Christmas Eve so I tried a sit down meal. The tomato soup was good but not better than Panera or Urbane. The Burrata salad cheese was good but pretty small for the price. The Platform area is expensive, I'm sure the rent is as well. However, for the price I probably won't be having lunch at Bianca too often. read more

Stopped by in culver city for brunch as other places were full and had a long wait time. Bianca is such a nice restaurant with a lot of sunlight that makes it really nice to sit and have a nice chat with your friends for a long time. Ordered the sandwiches (steak and ahi tuna) and they were very tasty! Came with a side of salad and was really filling. Also ordered their cappuccino as they offer coffee and that was really tasty as well. Definitely will be back here when I'm in Culver City for brunch. Reservations are recommended and paid parking is available at their garage. There are nearby shops and coffee places that you can visit near the restaurant. Nice place to stop by if you're in the area. read more

Came here for a group lunch and honestly had a great experience start to finish. The service was amazing -- attentive, friendly, and handled a larger group smoothly without making anything feel rushed. The ambience is also a big win: bright, beautiful, and very European café vibes. It's the kind of place that feels special without being stuffy. Food-wise, everything was solid and fresh. The clams were clean and well-cooked, and the branzino was nicely prepared -- simple, fresh, and let the fish speak for itself. Nothing overworked, which I appreciate. The fries were a sleeper hit. Extremely fresh, perfectly cooked, and honestly reminded me of In-N-Out fries, but elevated and actually seasoned well. Easy to keep grabbing "just one more." The pizza was also very good -- especially the margherita. The crust was thick, fluffy, and airy, with that classic big flop you want from an authentic-style pizza. It felt legit, not overly crisp or dry. Overall, Bianca is a great choice for a group dinner or a nicer casual night out. Strong service, beautiful space, and food that delivers without trying too hard. Definitely worth coming back. read more

Spectacular service! European dishes and flavors. And, Bianca has a crema di caffe!I rarely find this on coffee menus. Spanish tortilla, tomato Bisque-avocado Toast, and Ricotta Pancakes were the favorites of the group. Lots of tables. We got there at 9:30am and no wait. It did get crowded though. read more

Went for lunch on a Friday for my daughter's birthday. Upon arrival, parking is easy and getting to the restaurant from the attached parking structure, no problem but they do not validate. It was $10, so not too bad. All the food ordered was delicious-no complaints. Service was excellent, the hostess was very rude and sour faced, but everyone has a bad day, right? We tried not to take it personally. I had the espresso martini-twice-and my daughter had the lychee martini but had the server ask the bartender to substitute the added cranberry juice with elderflower which is what should go in the drink. All good! We sat in the patio which is beautiful and cozy. Plenty of room for our party of five! read more

Lunching with clients nearly my office. The weather is lovely so we donned al fresco. The patio is nicely encased with greenery, so you are sheltered from the busy street. I had the grilled salmon over a bed of rucola, fennel, romaine, and grape tomatoes, with a delicious lemon vinaigrette. Good and no surprises. My colleague had the Mix grilled seafood salad, Shrimps, Clams, Mussels, scallop, calamari, frisée, radishes, endive, bell pepper, cucumber, and celery. Looked bomb!

The gorgeously designed venue got me hooked the first step I made into the door. Located at the heart of Culver City, it added the growing list to places to dine at The Platform at Culver. You could sense the fusion of classic and contemporary French touch in the ambiance, which I totally admired. All servers were extremely friendly and helpful, from greeting at the entrance, helping us finding seats ASAP, and helping us making order decisions. We went for Sunday brunch and started with their Croque Madame, which was mind-blowing. Yeah it might sound like pretty simple common brunch dish, but theirs certainly worth the price tag. Portion was filling, the bechamel sauce and cheese were flavorful and generous, the meat stuffing (prosciutto if I recalled correctly) was high quality, and the sunny side was perfectly runny. Being in French resto, we surely didn't wanna skip the pastries and cakes. We could hardly decide if to order the ricotta cheesecake tart or the almond and fig crostata. The server mentioned that the first was more popular and there we were ended up ordering both, and we didn't regret. They were both good in their own ways, and it would really depend on preference. The ricotta cheesecake served right balance of creamy and light texture, and came with nice crust. Whereas the almond and fig tart had delightful buttery tart and royal almond and fig blend. They did have tons other pastries and cakes on the showcase to try, not to mention their dessert menu as well. I could easily see myself being a regular and would surely come back for either their lunch or dinner menu. read more

Bianca is a restaurant and bakery located in Culver City. They serve, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There's street parking, a restroom available, and indoor seating. The aesthetic is very Italian cafe and the decor is pretty. They take reservations and walk-ins. The service was standard for this kind of restaurant. Food and Drinks We ordered the ricotta pancakes for $18, the Spanish tortilla for $18, the eggs benedict for $23, the matcha latte for $6, and the cappuccino for $5.50. The ricotta pancakes were thick and paired perfectly with the cream and berries. The Spanish tortilla had a nice crunch and the savory flavor was perfect with the sauce. The eggs Benedict was nicely cooked but lacked a bit flavor wise. The drinks were nothing special but elevated the vibes. Overall | 4.5 The ambiance + service: 4.5/5 The drinks: 4.5/5 The price: $$ read more

Came in for the bakery and pastries and left happy until I ate it! I got a meringue cake, alfajore cookies, and a fruit danish. I'm pretty sure the cake was spoilt as it tasted like sweaty dirty socks! I was so shocked such a nice place with such beautiful pastries could make something that tastes so rancid!!!!! The cookie was good and unfortunately the only thing that was edible. The danish tasted really old as well. It was as if they leave out the pastries over multiple days and don't bother to refrigerate them. So disappointed and sadly will not be returning. read more
