| - As far as quick, easy, and casual lunch goes, this place is as good as it gets. YUM. After hearing rave reviews about this place from coworkers, I finally made it over there. The dine-in side is very cute and looks in theme with the other Bianco establishments. The drink of the day was some melon/prosecco goodness but since i had to go back to work, I didn't not imbibe.
I had my mind made up that I would go with the mozz sandwich recommendation but if the market sandwich (sandwich of the day) was a meatball sandwich, that would be my choice. The market sandwich was eggplant and creamy burrata (which my coworker had and really enjoyed) so I went with the mozz. Simple clean flavors are the best. The mozzarella was so creamy rich, the basil was fresh and the tomatoes -- perfectly vine-ripe -- a great balance to the mozz. Yum. Seasoned ever so slightly with some salt and pep on focaccia that is not of this earth. All the Bianco restaurants kill it with their bread game. From the bread and butter, to the pizza, to the focaccia -- its all phenomenal. Honestly, I have never been a fan of focaccia but i know now its because I have only had sh*tty focaccia up until this point.
Let me not forget the iced tea -- as I have I said in yelp reviews of other places that I am an avid iced tea enthusiast and sometimes a star hinges on the iced tea. This iced tea is delicious -- no Gold Peak or Nestea crap here. I forgot to ask our server (an ethnic Sam Smith look alike) what kind of tea it was because I would buy it and brew it at home.
Service was friendly and fast. We arrived early enough to find a seat and parking. In nicer weather, they have a fair amount of seating outside as well. We also saw Chris Bianco there! A lil' celeb chef sighting is exciting for sure.
