Excellent in all ways. Some of the best meals I've ever experienced. Service is very great.

Food was amazing. Was there on Saturday the restaurant was packed. Our server Franco was fantastic he was super friendly and professional. Can't wait to go back! Ambience is nice and cozy! read more

Love love love this restaurant! I've been coming here for about a year and found it on Yelp while looking for good Italian food near me. It's a cute little place and the service has always been top notch. The food is incredible, very authentic and fresh. Great for a date night, a celebration, or just a craving for some delicious food. read more

Tonight Susie and I tried an Italian restaurant called Da Bianca Trattoria. The food and service was great. Our server Nuri was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and wine selections. Being Italian the restaurant definitely had a warm and inviting feel. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend. read more

Bianca, you a cuss me of throwing a tantrum which is not true. I started that your waiter Franco was rude and when I asked to speak to a manager he responded there's no manager available. You don't care about customers at all. Maybe in the wine list it may show the corsage fee but not on the food menu so quit your tantrum and respect your customers and quit lying . read more

If you are seeking delicious Italian food, a friendly atmosphere among friends, and good wine, LOOK NO FURTHER! You will not be dissapointed with Da Bianca Trattoria. It is by far one of the best kept secrets in Orange. You will be anticipating your next visit once you have become a 'regular'. I don't live in Cali, my son and family do, this is Da Bianca is one of his family's favorites (and mine). Da Bianca has spoiled me for Italian food. They have had the same chef for over 20 years (a remarkable fact in itself), the food is amazing, service is wonderful, there is not a huge wait, ambience is comforting, and dessert is devine. read more

Amazing food. It tasted like the best Italian food in OC Service was good. Ambiance was amazing.

My boyfriend and I got takeout from here, he has been loads of times and this was my first time. I got the gnocchi and I am very impressed with the flavor of both the gnocchi and the marina sauce. It has that sweet tomato flavor and they used just the right amount of cheese to top it off. The garlic bread is fantastic. Also, my boyfriend is dairy free and they went the extra mile and gave us an entire toasted roll which I think was so nice and definitely not necessary. read more

Da Bianca Trattoria - Gnocchi with marinara and mozzarella - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

Horrible customer service....would not accommodate for a larger party claiming all tables were reserved; however, a table next to us was left unoccupied the entire night. Food was sub par. The veal was chewy and tough and I could've made a better side of pasta with Ragu sauce. read more

Food is fantastic. Highly recommend this place. Ordered one of the specials and it was incredible My wife's dish was also delicious read more

We were sitting in the "wine garden" tonight for the first time, The food was very good, Bianca style like in the restaurant. The ambiance is a little sparse, not too much garden but some nice little flower arrangements on the table. The special menu for outside though is to be reconsidered. We had 2 appetizers, 3 glasses of wine and some garlic bread and we paid $97 total. Outrageous. We won't ever go back to that "wine garden". read more

Excellent service and menu selection. My order of lasagna dish was one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend this restaurant in Orange! read more

Love, love,love! My husband and I have been coming for years and they never disappoint! We have also ordered catering from them and always just as good! read more

Always a pleasure to dine in this small but very welcoming restaurant. Marjan, the hostess and owner, always greets guests with a warm smile and seems genuinely happy to see them. The food and service is reasonably priced and excellent. I wish her and her staff the best going forward. read more

We went here for a private event between lunch and dinner. Food was served in a buffet line. Cheesy garlic bread, salad, penne pasta with meat, farfalle pasta with chicken and a pasta salad were on the menu. All the pastas were flavorful and very filling. The bread was delishhhhh!!!. The waiters kept coming around to refill lemonade and iced tea. Service was very good. read more

Somehow, although I have lived in Irvine since 1973 , I have missed this gem of an Italian restaurant on Chapman and Newport. I had good friends that took me there for dinner recently. It was so clean, friendly and with delicious food. The service was above and beyond. So many entree choices it is hard to decide. I certainly will be returning. read more

Excellent Bruschetta, eggplant Parma, mista salad , and tiramisu. Friendly service. Pleasant owner. Easy parking. Trout also looked good, as well as carpaccio, meatballs, and shrimp with pasta, spumoni, lemon sorbet, and chocolate torta. Great place to celebrate a birthday. read more

I don't normally write updated reviews, but we've been coming to Da Bianca Trattoria for 2 years now and we officially consider ourselves regulars so it felt time to update our review! We've truly never had a bad meal at Da Bianca Trattoria. The food is absolutely amazing (some of our favorites are the carbonara, farfalle genovese, and calamari) but the service is what keeps us coming back again and again! Francesca is the absolute best, we always feel like we're part of the family when Francesca is our waitress! We'll continue coming back here and look forward to more delicious pasta :) read more

This restaurant has a regular following and I just don't understand. Over sauced, uninspired dishes. Saw lamb Osso Buco as a special. That's always a red flag when they don't use veal shanks. Takes more time and technique to use veal. NO Italian would rather have lamb over a veal Osso Buco, it defeats the whole purpose (the marrow!). Are those frozen vegetables (like you get at Costco) they are serving as a side?! Sub par wine list served out of thick rimmed wine glasses. Ever drank a $150 dollar bottle of wine out of a jelly jar? Cheap china and flatware. Looks at the pics! Most plates are metal marred (some chipped) and its not like this place is at an entry level pricepoint. I posted a picture that is not mine, but it illustrates the point. Happy to go back and take one that will show the same if its an issue. Service was OK. We are not one of the regulars the owners fawn over so we just base our rating on the food. Certain locals love this place and feel a connection and write reviews based on that. We just rated this restaurant against others (even mid level such as Pizzeria Mozza in Newport) and found this restaurant to be lacking for anyone that has knowledge about authentic Italian food. I don't find the owners that charming. Look at the nasty responses by the owners to diners who have voiced issues . I'll probably get one too. Says a lot about this place. She posts to one reviewer "PS. I am Sicilian so if I gave you the evil eye, you wouldn't be joking about it ;) " Is that a threat to put a hex on a reviewer? read more

Da Bianca Trattoria - Metal Marring on cheap China plates. Some are chipped, cheap flatware and glassware and are those frozen vegetables? Sometimes no carrots - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

Great food! Wonderful Service - waiter was very attentive. Ambiance and decor was very fitting for an Italian restaurant. Will go again!

I used to live in NY. I miss the excellent food. This is the closest I have found in the area, and I'm pleased it's so close to us! If you don't feel like making lasagna, this place has the best. Not once have we been disappointed. It's made with a bechamel sauce and the best bolognese, served piping hot! Since it is family owned and operated the service is excellent. You feel like you're one of the family too. read more

I came across this restaurant because a group of people have mentioned that Da Bianca has the best authentic Italian food but I got to say I've had better. We ordered four different dishes: the spaghetti and meatballs, Orecchiette Capricciose, the chicken parm and the rotini (except they gave us the rigatoni dish instead so that was disappointing). We ordered food for pickup and I got to say I was a little concerned when I came to pick up the food that they had indoor dining during these times. I understand some people may be comfortable with that but there's a reason why we shouldn't be eating indoors currently and I want to support small or local businesses that are still abiding by the current state rules. The spaghetti and meatballs was good but I would've wanted it a bit saucier. The other dishes were all sort of bland. My friends also agreed. I'm glad I tried it though just to know. read more

Wow! What an absolute gem. We went here last night and the food was absolutely spectacular. We had reservations for 5:15 and showed up at 5 - the owner was very accommodating and seated us early. For appetizers, we ordered the special salad and the clams. Both were phenomenal. The clams were so fresh and the white wine butter sauce was soooo good! I wish they would add the salad special to their main menu because it was truly amazing. For entrees, I ordered the carbonara and my partner ordered the chicken porcini special. The carbonara was delicious, creamy and rich. The chicken was super tender and also great. We will absolutely be back! read more

Da Bianca Trattoria - Special orange burrata salad. - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

We had a wonderful dinner, food was delicious and the service was warm and friendly. We will definitely be back!

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

Very good experience with great food and I loved the quiet ambience. Tiramisu was a perfect end.

Good service, the food is phenomenal. Mouth watering dishes, cozy setting. Will definitely come back. And the specials are always good

Food was sooooo GOOD!!! A little pricey for local Italian food but Almost worth it. Service was not very friendly and not persistent at all. Overall would go once or twice again. read more

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

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

Homey Italian restaurant with great atmosphere and amazing food! The staff were kind and charismatic and the dishes were rich in flavor. Couldn't have dreamt of a better tasting pasta; the pesto and sun dried tomatoes complimented the soft and chewy noodles so well. The lasagna was a cheese lover's dream but it was a little heavy for my taste. Would definitely recommend! 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

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

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

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

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
