First Time Visit, We'll Be Back

by ab48167

This was our first time to La Bistecca, arriving about 9pm on a Saturday night. We had not really planned on stopping so we were dressed quite casually for the restaurant.

Service was a bit slow considering that the dining room was about half full. However this was probably more a matter of promoting a relaxed atmosphere rather than poor service.

The food was very good. We had the Sei Formaggi as an appitizer and it was plenty for two people. The salads were fine, nothing special. The entrees were outstanding, the gnocchi with lump crab meat and the tenderloin tips with pasta.

Very extensive wine list. The cabernet section must have had 50 choices, ranging from $30 to $100+.

Overall an excellent experience.

• Pros: Beautiful dining room. Great food.
• Cons: Service was a bit slow.

Great place to celebrate any occasion

by bmogilev

Me, my wife and youngest daughter went to this place for dinner. It was excellent. Service is great, you can feel that everybody cares... During the evening one of the owners, Jerrry, stopped by and we had a very pleasant chat with him. I have mentioned to him that we were there to celebrate my birthday - when desert time came a 'Happy Birthday' logo was inscribed with chocolate on my plate !!

Food is very good. Another important detail - this place is not in a very hot location, but you can immediately understand that all the patrons visit it on a regular basis. I highly recommend this place to everybody.

Great Place

Excellent food, great service. The staff is friendly and conversational. Will go out of their way to do something special if requested. The piano bar is a great place to relax and enjoy the entertainment.

• Pros: As a traveler they always make you feel welcome.
