Blanca finally reopened and I was so excited to finally go back. The last time I visited was late 2019, and it was a magical experience and probably my favorite tasting in all of New York. It was an approachable one that didn’t try to be too experimental and each dish was incredible.I went back to Blanca in April 2024 and was so disappointed. The concept has changed from Italian to a sloppy fusion of cuisines including Chilean, Pacific island, and Spanish. The pastas were beyond average, lacking the mind blowing flavor they used to have. One tasted like nothing and the second has lavender and bee pollen, so nothing to write home about. The meal lacked any cohesive story and flavor. And as a lover of uni, I can’t believe they managed to make an uni dish that tasted like nothing!A truly disappointing experience

This is the epitome of a fine dining experience and establishment. Chef Victoria and her team delivers exceptionally curated dishes with each and every bite. Each one packed with bold flavors, textures, and aroma. The open space itself was the perfect setting. From the beautiful ceramics to the perfectly curated music. **Highly recommended**

My wife and I were so happy when we learned Blanca was reopening after closing due to COVID-19. Our only worry was. Will it be as good as it was before it closed? Well, let me tell you, it's even better than before. The menu was perfect each plate better than the last. The best part of the night was the staff. The entire staff at Blanca is so friendly and goes above and beyond to make the night great. Can't wait to go back!!

Definitely one of the best Michelin restaurants in the greater New York area. It is a little hard to find at first and the area is trendy but you wouldn't think that it would have such an outstanding fine dining experience.

Pretentious Bourgeoisie restaurant finally closed down. Blanca is best left to be forgotten and let a real restaurant that serves the community to take over.Blanca is Temporarily Closed? Nah, man. Let it die. And in it's place put a real restaurant that has real character and heart for the people that live and work in that community.

I purchased a gift certificate as a holiday present, in a substantial amount from here. It was a pain to get. Let's just say that service left alot to be desired. For a two michelin star restaurant, i would expect a lot more from their managing staff. I would not recommend .

The food and wine pairing is incredible and the sommelier had us laughing the entire time! Music was on point too.
