Much of Bivio’s crowd is younger than the Barocco set, but they buzz, laugh easily, and acknowledge those around them just enough to allow the energy to bounce from table to table. Don’t worry, nothing spills. The food doesn’t stay that long on the table. Bivio’s kitchen, like Barocco’s, has mastered the simple to read, eat, and afford Italian menu, so it’s easy to put together an antipasto where marinated artichokes share their brine with a hunk of robiola and slices of a pungent duck prosciutto, and smokily braised fennel can hook up with sweet cipollini onion, the faint heat of bresaola, and the oddly persuasive perfume of Parmigiano. The menu begins to wind down with the entrées, though the herb-crusted rack of lamb and the make-a-big-mess zuppa di pesce are the best deals. — Hal Rubenstein

Bivio serves excellent Italian food with an eclectic menu. I love the clean, modern decor. Bivio is located in the fashionable Meat Packing district. Our server and the maitre d' were extremely friendly. You will enjoy a satisfying meal here for a reasonable price.

AWFUL

The prices are not unreasonable; the appetizers were actually pretty good; and the decor is pleasant. However, on every other measure, esp service, this place is AWFUL. The service was abyssmal; our waiter never checked on us, our water was not refilled once despite the 80+ temp inside, and we had to ask for our entrees TWICE. The Wine was improperly stored and the entrees were dissappointing at best. The crowd was B-and-T.
