As always, the food was excellent. The service was excellent. Convenient to get to, good atmosphere. A bit pricey, not not crazy

We didn't realize this is located in the New Yorker hotel but it was a great place for Italian food. I tried the Peach Cosmo first but then stuck with a Metropolitan cosmo which I preferred more. My friend stayed with his Moscow Mule he enjoyed. For food, I ordered the Whole Roasted Branzino and my friend got their Chicken Saltimbocca Rollatini. The branzino was already deboned but I liked they still gave me the whole fish body. It was perfectly seasoned and the meat was tender. I found very minor pieces of bones which didn't bother me. My friend really enjoyed his chicken dish which also looked good. We stayed chatting and enjoying several drinks which our server was attentive with. Hotel restaurants aren't always my preferred choice to dine at but we had a great experience here. read more

Someplace new for my vegetarian sister and my baby sis opening Aries season (6th & 14th). Dinner before the show ten blocks north (walkable). The options were atypical Italian fare. The location was well lit, no need for a flashlight to read the menu. The party we were seated a table away were very loud celebrating a retirement amongst a party of five. The vegetarian had a classic Margherita pizza with olives and extra cheese. She was delighted with her choice and she took some to go.Baby girl had a crab cake, spinach and mashed potatoes. She was pleasantly delighted with her choices. The eggplant snob I am ordered the eggplant parm and calamari. The eggplant did not impress me and I finished half the appetizer serving. The calamari was lightly fried and the marinara accompaniment was delicious. The waiter remained available checking in. read more

I had such a pleasant experience here! The staff was welcoming and friendly, like I just walked into my Italian friend's dining room. The cocktails are excellent- maybe a bit too excellent ; 0 ) I had 3 apple martinis!!! They went down a bit too easily... We ordered clams oreganata-they were excellent with a perfect balance of breadcrumbs/seasoning and clams. Next was oysters- fresh and perfectly shucked and the mignonette was delish. Then caesar salad with shaved parm and garlic crostini, and the eggplant stack which we took home. The food is great and the prices are reasonable. We'll be back! read more

I hate to put bad reviews. Matter of fact I would rather not say anything, it's hard enough for restaurants to stay open in such a competitive industry and location. .. I hope today was an off day for this place.... the waiter was super apologetic and ultimately didn't charge me for the uneaten plates. .... Please pay attention to what you're serving. .. I hope things get better read more

absolutely amazing servers! food was delicious and the bartender francis was very nice to my family and i. would definitely come back again!

Carbonara wasn't great at all. Very expensive for what it was. Rosemary and garlic fries were disappointing.

We were the only customers for a weekday dinner around 5pm. They give you some bread with hummus. It's cold but alright. Then we ordered fried calamari and it was crunchy and delicious. The spicy marinara on the side was perfect. The short rib cannelloni was decent. It was filled with ricotta cheese, mozarella cheese and well cooked short ribs blanketed with pasta and pasta sauce. Honestly, you can make it at home. Nothing special. My boyfriend enjoyed the banana magarita and they gave me a large glass of malbec. We were satisfied and the customer service was fantastic because we were the only ones there. read more

Just steps away from Penn Station to Madison Square Garden. We are in need of a quick bite for lunch, and we stumbled upon this place. Thank goodness for the AC that day. The had a full menu for lunch. The pappardelle bolognese was made with fresh pasta. It was delicious. My buddy said the margarita pizza was great. read more

Came here for dinner with a friend from out of town. We both needed some Italian and seeing that it's right by Madison Square Gardens (MSG), it was a great choice. Just a few people were in house when we arrived. We had reservations for 7:15p and were seated right away. It is a large restaurant, so would be ideal for big groups. Our server Tina was amazing!!!!! She was such a pleasure to have. She gave us her recommendations on the menu. It was a pleasure to have conversation with her. For appetizer, we had the fried calamari, which was great! It came out hot and crispy, and the spicy marinara sauce was a perfect match! For dinner, we had the shrimp calamari and the bolognese pappardelle. Again, both came out hot and were full of flavor and was just the right portion for both of us. We both enjoyed our entrees. And to top off the night, we had the cheesecake for dessert, which was amazing!!! Made fresh everyday in house and was not too creamy or not too sweet, it was just right!! I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Prices were definitely not bad at all, seeing that it's in the smack of Midtown. read more

I've been watching this place for a while since I can see it from my office. Every sauce and seasoning makes sense. The workers maintained a solid service standard. They value both cleanliness and customer budgets. Looking forward to tasting more dishes. read more

Quite a tourist spot due to the location. More a diner rather than an Italian restaurant. Realized after that they also have a lunch sandwich menu, which wasn't offered. The salad was ok, although my friend throughly enjoyed her eggplant. read more

this place is large and good for big groups. we were able to get a last minute reservation for 10 people on a weekday for lunch. the service was friendly and pretty prompt, had no complaints. the food was fine. the pizzas were pretty good, but very very thin. still not bad at all. the pappardelle was ok but nothing special; lacked a bit of flavor and lacked some richness. the pasta was soft. my lunchmates said the salmon was good, the short rib cannelloni was good, the carbonara was just ok. overall, not a bad spot if you have a big party and need a work lunch. read more

Trattoria Bianca - pappardelle - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Came here before a show around the corner as a last minute reservation. Overall the food and service was fine, nothing special to write home about but nothing bad. Prices are standard for the area, but a little high in my opinion. The cannelloni was the favorite of the table in terms of dishes (but that was also the most expensive dish). The peach martini was also quite good. Overall this is a spot I would say is fine if you need to get dinner in the area in a pinch, but not a place I would go out of my way for. read more

Truly delicious with great service. I had a delicious shrimp scampi risotto for dinner and probably the best mojito I've ever had. Definitely recommended! read more

We were looking for an Italian restaurant near Madison Square Garden and stumbled this location We enjoyed a beet salad and the eggplant stack parmigiana style and both where very good Didn't get the pics of the main course as we dove in too fast but the Halibut over asparagus was fantastic. The gluten free pasta was just that and the bolognese that accompanied it was pretty good Great service and enjoyed the time before the show read more

Tina (Konstantine) made the evening a pleasure! From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were part of the family. The vibe of the restaurant feels like a high-end Greek diner, but the menu is certainly Italian. Location is ideally convenient to Penn station, trains, shopping and Madison square garden. We had the pappardelle Bolognese, calamari, and a seafood scampi dish all of which were ideally prepared. We ordered drinks as well, as they have an extensive wine selection. The cost for dinner was less than $50 per person, which was value considering the quality, service and location. The next time we're in the area, will certainly be back. read more

We made our way to Trattoria Bianca after a play. Upon being seated, we were brought water and, quickly after, a basket of bread along with a small bowl of hummus with olive oil and what appeared to be red pepper aioli. I found that dip to be unusual for an Italian restaurant and requested olive oil with Parmesan for dipping. Our waiter told us he couldn't do that, which really surprised me, but a few minutes later he did indeed bring it to me. It would've been nice if the bread was warm but it was still tasty. I ordered the cheese tortellini (with red sauce instead of the cream sauce) and the man ordered veal scallopini. Both were delicious. The bottle of red we ordered was also pretty good. Our waiter was attentive at exactly the right times. Considering its midtown, close to Times Square location, we were pleased with our experience at Trattoria Bianca. read more

We had dinner here last night for a birthday. We were seated promptly, and the server was very sweet and accommodating. The drinks were good, although we did expect happy hour, and learned that it was nonexistent. Oysters were a nice size, sorry they did not have horseradish but oh well. The plain green salad was a disappointment. It was just lettuce, and perhaps two small pieces of artichokes. Nothing else! Salmon and shrimp were good. It was a decent dinner, but not a place that I'm dying to go back to. read more

Came here for an early dinner last week before a concert. Honestly the food was just ok. Service was extremely slow even though there were not a lot of people in the restaurant. Honestly the only thing going for this restaurant is the location, which certainly is convenient to MSG and other concert venues. read more

Trattoria Bianca - Grilled Vegetable Pizza - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

We went for my daughter's 12th birthday and, the food and service were amazing! It's a nice casual spot to grab drinks and have some pasta!

The waiters were nice but the food here was sub par at best. The best thing that came out was the pizza. Skip this place and go elsewhere if your looking for a good meal. read more

The service was super slow and inattentive despite it being a quiet night. The food was subpar, especially for the price. The chicken saltimbocca was at least somewhat decent, but the Margherita pizza tasted like generic frozen pizza and was so thin and crisp (see picture). There are so many other great Italian restaurants in the city-- skip this one. read more

Stopped in for lunch before heading to The Edge. It was around 2 PM and there was only one other table dining in, which made for a nice quiet meal. The server was really friendly and made some good small talk about our visit. Food and service was quick. Pizza is VERY thin, but made for a great lunch as it wasn't heavy. Located in the hotel lobby, if you are having a hard time finding the door. read more

I came here for dinner with my company and I really enjoyed my dining experience, between the food, staff, and the decor. The interiors were really nice with the booths and the Italian art deco posters helped create a pleasant ambiance. The restaurant is really big and is able to hold huge parties which is great for private events/company dinners/ parties, etc. The staff was attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of. However, I ordered a mojito, but they didn't tell me when I was placing my order that it wasn't available. I ended waiting a long time for a drink that never came and I instead got a peach cosmo that was really sweet and gross. I thought the food was pretty good, but not great. For the appetizers, we got meatballs, calamari fritti, and Italian cured meats The appetizers were good and I did like the peppers on top of the fried calamari which gave the dish a nice kick. For the main course, I got a filet mignon cooked medium-rare. I like the meat, but I felt it was a bit tough to eat. Also, keep in mind that it's just the steak and nothing else so you might want to accompany the meat with sides and butter. I also tried the Thyme Baked Salmon and chicken parm which were both good. I liked the desserts a lot. We got the dark chocolate ganache cake, NY cheesecake, and classic tiramisu. All were very good. The chocolate cake was my favorite because I enjoy a rich, thick cake but if that's not for you, the cheesecake was also very good. Overall, I think the food is just ok and prices are typical for New York, but I think there are much better Italian restaurants in the city. read more

An a-okay place for lunch/dinner if you're in the area. Is it the best Italian food you'll have in Manhattan? Definitely not. But you will still have a good meal at a reasonable price. Service was very good when I came for lunch with a friend and my daughter. The clientele was mostly business men/women at lunch time. read more

Mixed opinions about this restaurant. it started off so great but then declined as the night progressed. 4 stars only because of the appetizers and the staff, who were all great. Going right into it: The meatballs were tender and delicious. The calamari was basic, the cheese and fig jam was incredible. Soo tasty would order again. The chicken parm was not the best for the price, the sauce was watery and the breading disintegrated as the meal went on. The baked salmon was really good and flavorful. Paired with the mashed potatoes, you can't go wrong ordering it. The steak was alright. Not worth the price tag and a bit chewy but not inedible. As for desserts, the cheesecake was basic, pretty good. The tiramisu was alright and the chocolate cake was my favorite of the three. Drinks were pricey but hit or miss, atmosphere felt casual and fun. read more

Not good. At all. Not only did I have to send something back that came out ice cold, the New Zealand mussels appetizer weren't New Zealand the meat in the shells was half the size of a Chiclet (I am NOT kidding), but they weren't good. Some weird spice. Ate at the "bar" and worst server ever, and they're rushing me so they can close at 10PM. Friday night, 34th and 8th,, and they're rushing to close up and go home. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner celebration and totally enjoyed my time here. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile and though I was early I waited at the bar while having a drink for the rest to arrive. It was about 22 people at our table and I must say our waiter (can't remember his name but very funny, lots of jokes and he's from greece) was a gem. He handled our table well, attentive to everyone and made sure we were good. Our orders as well didnt take long to come to us bearing in mind our large numbers. I had the pan sauteed salmon with the couscous and radish. The salmon was done medium and tasted really good. The couscous was a different taste for my palette but after many bites I got accustomed. We also ordered garlic fries and omg I could've eaten that alone for dinner lol it tasted good and filling! All in all I had a wonderful time and 2oupd definitely be back! read more

Get the calamari, it was delicious!!! Go early (5-5:30) and you have the place pretty much to yourself. Really nice wait staff - very attentive. Wish they had a location here in The Twin Cities!!!! read more

The food is mediocre, the pizza is just bad. The service is lackluster. Go anywhere else in New York, do yourself a favor

We came for dinner on Friday nights and it was pretty good. Food selection was very good! Lots of sea food, lots of healthy options. Service was pretty good as well. Dessert was pretty good and selection was nice. I would appreciate to have better bread to start with, I think it was not very fresh or tasty. The complain I have is the bathroom cleanness. There was no toilet paper in the toilet and there were paper towels all over. I feel like they did not clean it is a whole day. read more

We stopped in for a bite on our way to Penn Station. (We entered through the Wyndham Hotel.) The appetizer salads were outstanding. We had a caprese salad and a beet and goat cheese salad. They were a perfect size for a quick, after show meal. I mentioned that we needed to get to a train in 45 minutes and they expedited our order, so that we were able to eat and get to the train on time. The best beet and goat cheese salad I've had in a long time! read more

The poor service, the bad attitudes, the food & exorbitant prices were all terrible. As a start, bread wasn't brought to our table, we had to request it. Upon arrival, the bread was cold and hard. The waiting staff seemingly couldn't be bothered and were very matter of fact and short when asked about the menu. Myself and 2 friends ordered the Butcheria Pizza Entree. I'm not sure how any restaurant manages to botch making Pizza, but this place did. The toppings were sparse, the taste was average, and the cheese was doughy/rubbery. I strongly recommend against eating here, as you might leave with empty pockets & an empty stomach. read more

We went there with a 9:30 reservation and arrived at 9:40. Told the kitchen was closed so we found another restaurant that would serve us. Please never go to this restaurant, it will disappoint you! A diner type restaurant in hotel. Nothing like it's description! read more

As soon as I saw that Italian words were misspelled on the menu, I should've known to walk out. You could probably get better food at Olive Garden. The meatball appetizer was not tasty at all to me. Watery sauce that didn't stick to the food and weird seasoning. The bread given to the table was cold like it had been sitting out. I had the pappardelle bolognese which had the same watery sauce that didn't stick to the food. No flavor at all. I couldn't finish my food because I wasn't enjoying it. The service wasn't great either. The water glasses were so tiny that they could be finished in one sip, yet no one was coming around to tables filling water. Server made it feel like he was rushing while taking our order. The whole place feels like a Greek diner that's trying to be Italian. For the price you could definitely find better food in the area. I'm mad I spent so much money eating here. We only went because it was so close to MSG... for Billy Joel fans looking for "scenes from an Italian restaurant," you won't find it here. read more

Prices are expensive for small portions. Personal Pizzas, for ex, are $25. Food taste is not exquisite or rarefied enough to justify the pricing. Definitely a "dine-in" restaurant (they do not deliver), so you can add extra 20% for the dine-in tip. If you pick up your order and must return for items they left out, they simply add those items to your bill - no courtesy discount, coupon, travel reimbursement etc - to compensate for your time and inconvenience. Not generous. read more

Lovely place. Delicious pasta and delicate, simply spiced meatballs. I almost finished all my food before remembering to take a pic. The Pinot Grigio that was suggested was affordable and perfect with my food. Nice, bitter, spicy broccoli rabe and chewy pasta. Friendly waitress and perfectly date night atmosphere. I'll be back. read more
