Bianconis Restaurant 4.0 star review: Went on one of those vouchers deals i.e. €60 worth of food & drink for 2 for €30. Since the 3 course set menu was €22 that left us with €16 for drinks including tea & coffee, plenty you would think since I'm a teetotaler. I asked could I also see the a la carte menu too as well as the specials set menu. The gentleman in charge explained there was a chowder & a parsnip soup. Both I & my companion interpreted that the chowder was available on the special set menu & we both went for it. It was to die for, full of delicious chunks of salmon & white fish though a tad underseasoned. It was served with 1 slice of stout bread, unusual but unlike the soup, limited. I'm a pepper freak & asked for a black pepper mill & then white pepper since both shakers on the table were salt, their mistake not mine. I sensed some audible irritation from the gentleman serving on my 2nd request for white pepper. The medallions of pork had been replaced by pork belly which I hate so I went for the lemon chicken from the limited menu. It had the taste of the Med alright but it was plain & only came with a light jus, nothing to rave about IMHO. My companion had salmon simply done & he loved it. His roast (more sauteed) & my mashed potatoes were to die for, the latter was lovely & creamy. There had been a run on the Tiramisu & there was none left for moi by 3pm which annoyed me. I went for warm lemon drizzle cake with amaretto ice cream which was gorgeous, my companion went for apple crumble with vanilla ice cream but got amaretto instead. He really enjoyed it despite the mistake in the order. On being presented with the bill it turned out we owed €9. I only had 1 mineral & tea, my companion had a glass of wine costing €6.50 with regular coffee. The voucher should have more than covered it. When I queried it the proprietor told us he had charged us from the a la carte menu as I requested. I had done nothing of the sort, I had just asked to see it & certainly wouldn't have chosen that chicken dish had I been ordering from it. Both of us w

Bianconis Restaurant 4.0 star review: Four of us had an early-bird at Bianconis early in the evening, so the restaurant was very quiet. I started with the Bruschetta, which was a bit too oily. My wife's Pate was perfect however. We shared the daily pizza special, caramelised onion and rocket, as recommended, and this was delicious. I'd also recommend the American Hot / Pepperoni pizza. I'd a glass of house red, from Abruzzo, and this was well above par. Service was attentive and helpful, and we all agreed that we would visit again, without hesitation.

Bianconis Restaurant 5.0 star review: really enjoyed this restaurant, quite pleasant, with candles and all. We went there with a voucher we bought online so we didnt know what to expect, but we were surprise by the quality of the food, we had the fish of the day served with potatoes and the potatos was amazing taste. We also got two glasses of white wine. We didnt ordered dessert but got the delicious homemade italian icecream instead, which we ate on the way home. The icecream was perfect. Great experience, would definately go back to this place!

Bianconis Restaurant 5.0 star review: Just went here for coffee and scone with friend and found it reasonable. Really nice coffee. Scone was good but nicer if it was warmer. Staff very friendly. Would like to try more of their food!

Bianconis Restaurant 5.0 star review: Have been here quite a few times and really enjoy every time I go. Last time, I had a salad plate with three salads which were delicious and so fresh. Friendly staff. Great place to stop for a coffee and a browse of the paper or lunch. Close to RTE so you might even spot star or two!

Bianconis Restaurant 5.0 star review: Visited this well known Italian opposite Vincents Hospital on the Merrion Road. Food was excellent and very friendly staff, portions very generous and everything was great value. They have a good selection of wine as well def worth the visit out to them .

Bianconis Restaurant 4.0 star review: Have a really enjoyed friend's bothday trips here. Lovely cosy, atmosphere. The early bird menu is excellent value too. And even though I got the impression it's frequented mostly by couples and groups, I was there with my sis and her 2-year old and they were very obliging and brought out some toddler-friendly food.

Bianconis Restaurant 2.0 star review: We visited Bianconis on a Saturday night at 7pm.

The restaurant amounts to one very long corridor and is totally lacking in character.

We had a meal voucher for €60 and was offered a set meal for €25 less the dessert and a glass of wine. The voucher value was clearly overstated by the management in view of the set menu pricing.

The restrictions pertaining to the voucher were not highlighted properly when purchased. We have reviewed the meal as if we had paid the full prices.

My wife had a cheese starter and I had the pate which were OK but nothing exceptional. Main courses - salad and fish dish. Again both were reasonable quality food but nothing exceptional. Service was extremely slow and quite poor and well below the standard one would expect. Ten to fifteen minute wait between courses.

Red Sicilian wine at €29.50 was good quality wine.

Overall very poor atmosphere, appalling service and just about OK food. Medicocre experience at best, not recommended. Definitely Will not be back.

Bianconis Restaurant 4.0 star review: Been a long time since we were here. But the guy who owns it is still as pleasant, helpful and professional as ever. Also still excellent value for money. My Mother in Laws 70th Birthday on Sunday saw the family (a big one) congregate at extended tables and each of us enjoyed the three course Sunday special meal. I had Crostini Rustici to start, Pollo Ai Funghi E Panna for my main and hot apple pie and cream to top it off. Good wholesome tummy nourishment. My sister in law opted for the smoked salmon starter and the Insalata Contadina Invernale which she said was 'good'. Ideal for a family gathering and something to suit all tastes on the menu. No doubt we'll be back for future family occasions!

Bianconis Restaurant 4.0 star review: Called in for lunch. Quiche wasn't great but acceptable and came with three nice fresh salads. Half pizza and chips was excellent - being awkward I asked for a fresh pizza as we were late for lunch and the one waiting to be reheated looked a bit tired, it was worth the wait. Nice people and good value.
