| - I'm not really sure what to say about a place that, seemingly, only exists to keep patrons waiting for pizza next door from gouging each others' eyes out in a fit of starvation.
I can say I appreciate that they don't try to do their own gouging, price-wise. We had a one-hour wait at Bianco's, and as I walked over with my friend, I said, let's check this place out, but if every drink on the menu is $10 we'll just go across the street to Rose and Crown.
Thankfully, draft beers were about $5 and they had a good selection of local brews (Four Peaks) and imports (Stella). The wine selection had plenty of bottles but only a few options by the glass. They had apps too, that ranged from $5 to $15. We ordered the Goat Cheese Crostini ($5), which ended up being a rather small piece of toast but with a handful of black and green olives on the plate too. We split it between four girls and it was just enough to give us a taste without ruining our appetite for the delicious pizza to come. Though no silverware or plates came out with the app -- so we each had to really man-handle that piece to break off a bite. We all know each other quite well but would sure have been awkward on a date or with acquaintances.
Service was so-so. Nothing bad, but nothing notable either, except that when we gave the server cash and two cards to split the balance between, we realized he ran one card twice and the other not at all.
