I grew Rosa Bianca this year and there was no bitterness either. And as shelletbean said, the lighter colored ones are less bitter. White eggplants have no bitterness.

If you use the purple ones, in addition to picking the younger ones with glossy skin, choosing the males instead of the females will result in less seedy eggplant.

The males have a circular blossom end, while the females have a short line as a blossom end.
