My wife and I went to Biella for the first time ? we chose the place based on all the stellar reviews so our expectations were high. Our expectations were met and exceeded. We had a reservation, we were seated immediately by a very friendly greeter, and moments later our outstanding server appeared. The menu is set up similar to the way you see menus in Italy ? by courses. The portions are large and the food mostly outstanding. We shared an appetizer - Pizzetta Saltimbuca with Grilled Chicken and Prosciutto, my wife got the Baby Spinach Salad with pears and blue cheese ? she said this was the best salad she ever had, we each got a pasta dish that was outstanding, my wife had the venison chop that was wonderful. I got the NY strip steak, the steak was the only miss of the evening, it was slightly over done and not real flavorful. The only criticism we have is that the dining room is very loud, at times it was hard to hear each other. It was fairly expensive, without tip we dropped $170 A less expensive way to enjoy this place would be to share appetizers, have a salad and skip one of the two Piatti courses. The next time we go we are going to share the chicken pizza, have a salad and a pasta course and call it good. That will still be in the $100 range with a bottle of wine. At $10.00 the Pizzetta Saltimbuca is an outstanding value, it is larger than a dinner plate.
Pros: Outstanding food and service
Cons: Noisy - pricey
