I rarely give a five star to a restaurant. But this one was excellent, that included the server the hostess who might've been the owner and all the wait staff. Endless supply of water and bread and conversation. We had a bottle of Orvietto Salviano A white Italian wine that was very good. We had Penne Carmella, farfalle genovese and a Caprese appetizer. The server was Heather and she gave us ice cream to share three different flavors as this was our first time at the restaurant so nice. Only issue was a little loud but I didn't let it bother me. read more

What an ABSOLUTE treasure this place is! I want the world to know how amazing my experience was here, because this restaurant was so lovely. The staff...INCREDIBLE. The owner (I think at least) came by TWICE to check in on us. Our waitress Hailey but such a sweetheart and so helpful with all of our questions. The food, to die for! Came for dinner to celebrate mom & boyfriends birthdays. To start- the amazing free garlic bread (which they keep offering and I couldn't say no to!), calamari- perfectly crisp and delicious, special of the night - pumpkin gnocchi which was sooooo delicious. I had the pasta with chicken and vodka sauce- amazing and just creamy enough where I felt indulgent yet not too heavy. Dad has the lasagna and MAN OH MAN that was the most amazing and decadent lasagna I had ever tried! Mom and BF had the linguini with clams which was light and flavorful and filled with fresh clams! The kitchen had closed but we asked for a to go order of the salmon champagne and they still made it for us! How kind is that?! We brought a cake and forgot candles and they were even kind enough to put candles on the cake for us and sing! Truly a lovely experience and we can't wait to go back!! read more

We've been on three different occasions with our neighbors and the food is always delicious. It's a given when you dine there. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but it comes across as cozy and quaint. I think what is most notable is that I can't recall a time when we've had better dining experience. In my opinion, they have mastered the art of relaxed dining. Other restaurants should take notes. It is obvious that they enjoy what they do and that they value their customers. Bravissimo! read more

Fantastic Italian food. Their Chicken Porcine in a creamy Marsala sauce is heaven on a plate. It seems like every server is actually from Italy. Make a reservation otherwise you're not getting in. read more

Food was excellent! The waiting staff was spot on. They were always there if we needed anything. They were all very friendly! Highly recommend coming here! read more

Great service and great food. Appetizers to dessert was fabulous. The dinner bread is to die for. Can't wait to get back! read more

Da Bianca Trattoria - Penne al Gorgonzola and Cioppino (or what was left of it, so excited to eat I forgot to photo it first!) - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

We had an amazing dinner at Da Bianca Trattoria last night. The food was delicious and transported us back to recent trip to Italy. Our waiter, Franco, was extremely knowledgeable and attentive, which mirrored the rest of the staff. Our favorite items were the lasagna, rigatoni with Gorgonzola, and of course, Tiramisu. We can't wait until our next dinner there! read more

So happy we chose this restaurant for a small birthday celebration. First time there and it was fantastic! The Shrimp Rotini Brindisi daily special was so good! I also got to sample the Lasagna and Pollo Parmigiana. All delicious! The servers sang Happy Birthday in Italian which was beautiful and they brought the birthday girl a complimentary spumoni. I tasted that but it is the out of this world canolli that I'm still dreaming about 2 days later! The service provided by Francesca was as wonderful as the food. Can't wait to go back! read more

I'm often at Humbowl and want to support small businesses. I came across Da Bianca Trattoria located in the same shopping center. We were not greeted with a warm welcome. My nephew ordered the Veal Parmigiana and I ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese with a side of meatballs. We also ordered calamari appetizer. The calamari was excellent. However, the main entrees were average. When we left there were two females at the entrance (younger and middle aged) who did not bother to say "thank you" or "have a nice evening." Food, ambiance and service were underwhelming. I will stick with Baci Italian Restaurant in Anaheim Hills. They're friendly, food and service is always excellent! read more

We had the most enjoyable evening here. It has been a few years since I have been to Da Bianca Trattoria, the food was better than I remember. The service was top notch. Cute and quaint restaurant. read more

3/24/18 update: I have now had the best meal I've eaten in all of Southern California...incredible. Started with an order of calamari and mozzarella - those two apps are our favorites, and, unlike any restaurant anywhere. My wife stayed with the chicken Marsala, but one of the specials was a bacon-wrapped scallop dish. When Nuri brought it to the table, I took a picture! It was the best meal I've had...ever. The scallops were cooked to perfection; the linguini was incredible, and the service was once again 10-star. Marjon (owner) always makes us feel so welcomed, and Nuri is the best server anywhere - Da Bianca is absolutely one of a kind! read more

Delicious food, great service and perfect atmosphere. We are regulars and enjoy this restaurant very much!

I've been coming to this restaurant for 20 years, I use to come with my father after my mom passed, we would go out to dinner every Thursday. This was one of our spots. As someone who has grown up in the restaurant industry and has had to transition from original owner to second generation, I can tell you it's not easy. It's hard. But Marjan has handled it with in my opinion amazing success. The food is always top notch, the service is fantastic and to be honest, I've never had a bad meal. If I had, I know that Marjan and her staff would take care of it. It surprised me when I see any negative comments, and it's refreshing that Marjan reaches out to most if not all the comments. I wish that patrons, if they do have a problem, would allow the business to rectify...BEFORE...they write a scathing review. Patrons need to realize, that these reviews hurt and we as owners take them personally. Everyone has an off night, were only human. But this restaurant and this family, they signify all that's good in the hospitality world, and my hope is that they continue on for decades to come... read more

Wow Da Bianca was a great find. We recently moved from newport to n tustin hills and this place was recommended by locals. They were right. This area has several restaurants like this with a loyal following of local residents. Da Bianca is in the center with Pacific Ranch market way up on Chapman. We came without reservations on a Saturday night at 830. It was full but they found us a table. Wine list really good. List of specials was great and we will return. Starters and entrees made with care and staff while really busy were helpful and very kind. Recommended. read more

The pollo agrodolce is the best meal I have ever had!! Have to update this review to include that. It is on the specials menu and is absolutely delectable. The most flavorful dish I have ever tasted. read more

Best Italian in Orange for over 50+ years! Pizza is delicious, spaghetti best of anywhere! Aracini balls are the best in town ! Family owned and run, very kind people (hard to find nowadays) read more

First time dining here. Let me start off by saying the food was absolutely amazing! We ordered calamari as an appetizer and for our main course we ordered lasagna and the house special stuffed chicken. Everything was soo flavorful. I will Definitely recommend this restaurant. Towards the end of the night, I will like to note that I did over hear the owner speak to our Waitress. I just want to pass along to our waitress "Emily" you are very attentive, courteous, and professional throughout our service. Don't let anyone put you down. You are a great server that has a bright future in front of you. People make mistakes but we embrace them and move forward. Keep up your hard work and positive spirit. read more

Delicious food + service good. Family run business. Make reservations so you can experience this Italian food! read more

My wife and I came here for our wedding anniversary as it was highly recommended from our neighbors. When we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and a welcome and sat at a table. The service was friendly, and the menu had many delicious items to choose from. I chose the lasagna and my wife chose a pasta dish with fish. Both were very delicious along with a side salad. It seems it was a family friendly place with lots of regular customers. Our waiter was friendly and towards the end was a little slow to respond to checking in on us. Overall, we highly recommend this family run restaurant! read more

The food is amazing, the servers are great, the atmosphere is very nice... I loved it. Haley was our server she was very attentive and sweet. My daughter loved her. There was two guys passing bread and food and etc. they were very polite and welcoming. They were all ready to do whatever it takes for us to enjoy our dinner. It was our first time but we definitely will go back again. Thank you Haley. read more

My husband and I wanted to try Da Bianca due to great referral from a friend. Let me tell you, we were beyond disappointed. The best thing we had was the garlic bread, Caesar salad, and the mushroom ravioli that was the special. The carbonara was bland, having no flavor. The gnocchi didn't seem "authentic". It reminded me of pasta that was just rolled up like the shape of a gnocchi with marinara sauce over the top. Claros Italian market sells frozen gnocchi that is WAY better & half the price. If your business wants to stay alive Da Bianca, you better step up your game! read more

Tried this place on my birthday, we were a party of four. From the garlic bread to the spumoni everything was delicious. Service was wonderful. We sat down we were greeted told the evening specials and we ordered calamari as an appetizer. Then a very nice gentleman with a basket of fabulous garlic bread walks around and place it for you and that happens throughout the evening and it's delicious! Our entrees were all excellent...eggplant parmigiana-- amazing red sauce, Spaghetti alla Carbonara - which they happily substituted fettuccine noodles & 2 of us enjoyed the Farfalle Genovese. This is a wonderful hidden gem & we look forward to returning now that we know about it! read more

Tried chicken plate and pasta came with it. Chicken was on salty side. Side-dish-pasta was nothing special. We had to pay additional $10 for switching to different side-dish-pasta. I felt they are overcharging and didn't like it. Server and ambiance were fine- thus my rating is 3 stars. read more

I agree with everything Micheal shared. Our family has been going to DaBianca's since their opening in 1990. Bianca was a warm, welcoming and wonderful host she made you feel at home. Marjon has done an amazing job of carrying on that tradition. Always welcoming as are the servers, some who have been there for a very long time. I am Italian, with amazing cooks in our family, so that says a lot about Dabianca's chef. Thank you Marjan for carrying on the tradition! See you soon! read more

We've driven by shopping center fairly often and didn't realize this little restaurant was even here until yesterday. Hidden in a shopping area near Orange Park Acres (across from Santiago Community College), Da Bianca Trattoria is a real gem. Since I don't get to take my son out to a nice dinner very often, finding this restaurant last night was a wonderful surprise. We got here for an early dinner and were amazed by how great everything was. We started off with the garlic bread, and it was so good. With just the right amount of garlic and butter, eating one piece of the bread just wasn't enough. I ordered the Chicken Marsala, and it had the best marsala sauce I've had in a while. I was really in the mood for a lighter meal, and the Chicken Marsala was heavenly. My son, the pint-sized pasta lover, ordered the Penne Pasta with the marinara sauce. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce had a wonderful blend of spices. The service was also great here. Our waiter (Will) was friendly and attentive. When my son and I finished our bread, another freshly baked basket of bread seemed to magically appear. We really appreciate how helpful our wait staff was. I think we found our new favorite Italian restaurant. With great food and good service, we definitely plan on coming back really soon! read more

Horrible.. I was dragged here for a dinner meeting. The food was bland, once again. I'm glad this one didn't come out of my pocket.

So disappointed in owners daughter. After well over a $100 bill for 2 of us we were asked to leave our table and sit outside and finish our bottle of wine. Manager stated the table was needed for in coming guest. Unacceptable and extremely rude. We won't be back! read more

Love this local gem! Best Italian food in Orange County been going here for over 25 years Gorgonzola pasta dish!!! nothing compares!

Great food and great service. Fine dining with a family atmosphere. They are busy so reservations suggested.

We went to Da Bianca Trattoria last night for the first time and have nothing but good things to say. Our server was energized, kind, and knew the specials and menu very well. The food was great. My spaghetti dish was a massive serving. They even asked what brought us there. It happened to be my birthday so my parents chose the spot. They brought out Spumoni and sang Happy Birthday in Italian. Great service, great food and tables spread out for those that are worried about that. All you could ask of a restaurant. Will be going back. Thank you Da Bianca Trattoria read more

We ordered take out from Da Bianca and it was bad. I got there to pick it up and the food was not ready. I had to wait for it. I was early, I paid for the order, and ran an errand. i came back at the schedule time and the food was not ready. By the time the food arrived (sitting in my car waiting), it took them 15 minutes extra to get the order done. When I got home, the food was warm not hot. My family tasted the food and it was uneatable. It was immediately dumped in the trash. We ate scrambled eggs for dinner. Here's the issue, if you are a friend or regular customer, the owner gives you your order fast, first, and of quality. If you are not a regular customer, it is given late, warm and tasteless. This is the 2nd time we ordered take out and it was thrown into the trash. So much for second chances and helping restaurants in this crisis. read more

Everything was amazing! We will be back! My husband loved his chicken parm and I loved the manicotti.

Great food, service, and fun. Consistently good over the 8 years we've been going there.

Awesome neighborhood Italian spot. Great food, really friendly service and the type of place you love being just down the road for a date night or family take out. A locals spot. We like the nightly specials and the Gorgonzola pasta. They have even done wine nights but we haven't had a chance to go to one yet. In the summer, it's nice dining outside too. read more

This is the most amazing Italian restaurant. If I could give more stars, I would!!! Such a beautiful wine selection. They have an amazing Amarone - so delightful on the palate. We look over and the bottle is gone. Such authentic Italian food. Everything is fresh and simple and delicious. There is no bad dish here - we have tried so many. Gnocchi melts in your mouth, the marinara is so flavorful, the Genovese pasta dish is such a light and delicious pesto. Amazing cannelloni. We visited Italy 6 months ago and this is one of the best places in terms of authenticity and amazing dishes. Francesca is our favorite server - she has amazing suggestions and I always eat what she tells me. NEVER has she disappointed me. We now come here regularly. read more

Been coming to this family owned restaurant for many years. To my family this is the best food, service, and atmosphere anywhere in the States. If you have ever traveled you know what so called authentic Italian/Scicialian is. This food is so good that you owe it to yourself to get here as soon as possible. Consistancy is one big reason why. Flavors are special. Recently had the poached salmon and pasta special and I made myself a promise to have it again next time we are there. And the spinach salad is amazing. I have read some of the reviews that arent 5 star and that is an insult in my opinion. One lady sounded like a spoiled child that lost an argument with her mom. For those that know great food, you will love and appreciate Da Bianca Trattoria. read more

I have been going to Da Bianca's ever since I was a kid and it never ceases to amaze me. This past time I got the classic farfalle Veneziana, could not recommend this dish more. We also split two bottles of wine that we brought, choosing to pay the corkage fee. I appreciate the outdoor seating available due do Covid, it makes me feel safe! The bread is also fantastic, Da Biancas is truly one of a kind! read more

My first visit was such a lovely and delicious experience, I just had to leave a review! I have a severe garlic allergy, Italian restaurants are usually not on my radar - because I'm sure creating my meal is a pain. I was treated so kindly and was served one of the BEST pasta dishes I've ever had in my life! The service was good, especially the sweet busboy who made sure I had warm crispy bread without garlic! The food looked amazing at every table around me .. just a very small, quaint little place with exceptional choices, delicious daily specials and a really nice atmosphere. I am so happy that I found out about this gem in my neighborhood! read more

Great Food. Good vegetarian options. It is pretty busy on Fridays and Saturdays, so make reservations

This place is definitely a hidden gem! Service was wonderful, everyone was very friendly. The food is absolutely authentic and delicious! Every thing we had, including salad, pasta and dessert was fabulous. They came around with a container of hot delicious bread regularly throughout our meal, yum! We will definitely be back! Side note-it is little difficult to find, tucked away in the back of a parking lot, don't give up you'll find it! read more
