        well...it looks like the pastas at bianca are under $20...but that doesn't include any starters, dessery, wine, tax, tip....

            bianca is good and also very cute, and the staff is real nice, but watch out for the fried artichoke appetizer, it's really greasy and rather unpleasant in my opinion. the lasagna is very good.

            cheap as in less than 20 a person. also, with the weather so nice, outside seating a plus.

                oh! bianca on bleeker right off bowery...i haven't been yet, actually we're going tonight, but people have been it was recommended and i read loads of great reviews. it's italian...it seems cheap, somewhat crowded, but friendly with a couple of killer sounding starters and pastas.
