   Bistecca is a special place. Chef Morris enjoys what he does and it is reflected in the wait staff and food.

   Host was very gracious; we were late being seated and he made up for it! Chef came out delivering food and stopped to talk to us a couple of times. Service was great, as always.

   Food here is always prepared to perfection and very tasty. Starters were a caprese salad which is always light enough to leave room for the rest. As simple as the salad is the flavor is important which was great. The mozzarella was fresh and very tasty. Crab fingers was the other starter which looked equally amazing and flavorful. Main course was lamb chops. Always cooked to perfection, smothered in garlic to give it an amazing taste and accompanied by asparagus and house potatoes which is a wedge of potatoe slices. We followed this with a vanille Grand Marnier souffle. There are no words for Bisteccas souffles!! Just heaven. The staff are amazing and the venue is cozy but spacious.

   Bistecca has a wonderful neighborhood restaurant ambience. We had cocktails in the bar before dinner. It was the perfect place to unwind and kick off the evening! Once we moved to the dining room, the warm ambiance made us feel right at home. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, adding to the overall fantastic vibe of the place. We indulged in the beef short ribs and veal Oscar, and they were nothing short of perfection. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy great food and a wonderful atmosphere, I highly recommend checking out Bistecca. II can’t wait to go back! 💖 #Foodie #RestaurantRecommendation #GreatEats

   Atmosphere was perfect, giving that old school Italian restaraunt vibe - Sinatra music in the background. Low lighting, but not too dark. This is much more than Italian however. Plenty of options - especially steak and seafood. My husband and I both had steaks. I believe it was the best steak I have ever had. Great cut of meat, perfectly cooked. Sides were amazing. Service was exceptional. Higher end food and service, so higher end prices as well. We spent about $200 for the 2 of us for app, salads, entree and dessert. No beverages other than water. It was well worth it. Highly recommend, perfect for special occasions. Recommend making a reservation if you plan on going on a Friday or weekend.

    They were very gracious in offering a fine meal for veterans on Veteran’s Day. Thank you so much
