About Biànca
Biànca was made out of a desire to bring the captivating and enrapturing effervescence of a classis Italian Trattoria to the hub and bub that is Brisbane's James Street. The food shall be focused on perfecting simple, classic Italian dishes with a nod to the Australian climate and dining sphere, honouring fresh produce and seasonality. We will be working from the foundation up, creating our own pastas and breads, all in house. The wines work similarly; Italian in Provenance or Variety, they will serve to complement the dishes as they would in their traditional homes. Our staff are warm, gracious and cannot wait to welcome you into our home.
