The pros: our waitress was outstanding. She was attentive, patient, and friendly.The cons: the food was of the type and quality you would expect to find in a diner that doesn't specialize in Italian food. The sauce that came with the mozzarella sticks that seemed like something that we've bought from the freezer case in the local grocery market, tasted bland and almost metallic. The sauce in the angel hair pasta was so watered down it was as if the pasta wasn't drained. The mushrooms with the spinach, mushroom, and bacon salad did not look like they were cleaned thoroughly first. It tasted okay, but it was actually too much bacon. I can't believe I'm saying that!With all of the other Italian food restaurant options available, you could easily skip this one.
Their chicken Caesar salad is the best ever; the chicken is tender and juicy and their dressing is the more traditional Caesar--not sweet or too salty. Very nice. Also, their Chicken Francesca is delicious. Again, the chicken is tender enough to cut with just a fork and the lemon sauce is delicate.
Everything was freshly made from the seafood like the calamari and scallops to the mushrooms in the veal. The service was good and are very accommodating for other items such as lemon or change of your side.
We've been going to Biba's on and off for 20 years, but our last visit has really made the last time. The service was good and don't get me wrong, the lady was rushed off her feet, even though there seemed to be 3 or 4 young ladies huddled by the door /bar. But the service was one of the highlights of the visit. We ordered appetizers. Fried Ravioli and mozzarella sticks. The ravioli came to the table as if it had been dumped on the plate.. no presentation at all. The breading was dry and tasteless... Kind of like it had been coated in saw dust. Stale saw dust. Same for the mozzarella sticks. We ordered entrees. These came with a house salad. Some salad greens, a quarter tomato maybe a little cucumber and a pepper, plus the dressing of your choice. When I changed my salad to the Greek salad, I had no idea it would be a modified house salad, swimming in balsamic vinegar with onions, olives and feta cheese crumbles for a $5 upcharge. $5! Wow. The wife's baked shells were dry and overcooked. The pasta carbonara that I ordered, while being very hot and plentiful, was so thick it was difficult to eat. And possibly most sadly, the garlic rolls that Biba's used to be so famous for are simply not all that anymore. They are smaller, have much less butter, garlic and herbs and are more of an afterthought than a featured item. Lastly, the dinning room needs a makeover. I can't remember if it's ever been updated, but the current decor is old and dated and uninviting. Sorry Biba's. You've got some work to do here.
My meal was ok. This family owned definitely feels like your eating in your grandma’s kitchen. The staff is nice but the food is just regular. It’s not spectacular but it is reliable if your hungry for pasta.
Some of the best Italian food I've had in a long time! Good portions and friendly staff!
The garlic bread and tiramisu tasted great. The stuffed cheese shells lacked flavor. It just tasted ok.
Online menu is outdated, but this is the best Italian food I’ve had in years. Service is slow, but we’re going through the “Everything Shortage” right now and I definitely don’t count that against them at all.Quantity of food was smaller than I expected for the price, but was completely made up for in quality and flavor; I actually finished the dish and rarely do.I’d give the food 6 stars if I could.
Order them today via Uber eats. I ordered the “Bibas Famous Warm Chicken Salad” and was really excited to finally have it however, they forgot the salad part. I have the chicken, mushrooms, dressing… all that jazz but not the bed of greens as advertised in the description. I am really disappointed. I see a picture on Google (a picture a customer took it seems) of how it’s suppose to look and mine doesn’t look like that. The taste is great so putting one star would not be fair. After all, we want the food to taste good, right? And it most definitely does. It’s just when you have your heart set on something and they mess up your order that you’ve already paid for, it’s very annoying and disappointing. I think it’s probably best to dine in and eat rather than getting it to go if my heart was dead set on getting what I wanted. Lesson learned.
The food is ALWAYS AWESOME as well as our waitress Christine Is extremely pleasant, smiling, helpful and a GREAT WAITRESS!! I have only been to very few restaurants where the staff and food are BOTH GREAT!!!! This will ALWAYS be a return spot for me!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE ???
