BISTECCA

This is a really cute place with great food and wine choices. T bone steaks were cooked well with lots of sides and app choices. They encourage you not to use your phone though, even taking it and locking it away for you, to encourage being present in your experience I think; some people like that, but I hated it. They let me hold onto mind, just didn't want me to use it in the restaurant.

Great experience and place to eat if you love a good steak. It’s t-bone style but the portion is huge for a great price. Had the gnocchi and pecorino with truffle honey to start, was tasty. The side we ordered for the steak was the eggplant Parmesan and it was my personal favorite. Love the concept of phones away from the table and the atmosphere in the restaurant is incredible!

Easy to get last minute noon reservations for lunch time. Their bread and butter was unique, a candle melts the butter. They say phones are not allowed because they want you to enjoy the foodand you're supposed to put it in a box so all these other reviewers with food pictures are breaking rules 😤 They slice the t bone steaks and cook it close to all the tables so you can see them at work which was cool. Got our steak medium rare and it was amazing. Best Florentine style steak I've ever had. Since the cuts are thick, they're harder to cook correctly and are generally more on the rare side so bravo to Bistecca. Highly recommended for a good t bone steak

Been here a while ago.
Like a lot of other steak houses in Sydney they ask you to give them your phone, so you won’t see pictures on reviews here.great steak cut to your preference of size. Super high quality, professional service. Nice twist with the dipping butter for the bread that comes in the form of the candle and his wax melting is your bread add on:)

Wonderful experience and food, can't wait to visit again!

Ushered into the dining room where we promptly placed our phones and other belongings in a locked box, we had the front seats to watch steaks being sawed and cooked on the grill. We were served our drinks (mmm), given an edible candle with some mop bread, while we decided on the gnocci to start (delicious), 800g of the steak (medium-rare and sliced up) for us two to share (so so delicious!) with gratin on the side, and the Tiramisu (so tasty) to end. We were so full and satisfied by the end.

The beef was $180 a kilo. To make it sound better the menu says $18 per 100g. Their website doesn't say it's dry aged, for that price it should be dry aged. A Bistecca in Singapore dry ages. Sadly, the only photo that I can show you is the front door which is a fire escape. Inside they took my phone away. It was stressful and controlling. I felt like a sheep being rushed through service, I was first herded to the bar to order drinks and then led to the restaurant table. I felt coerced because even though they don't explicitly make it mandatory I felt pressured. I couldn't take photos of the food or have selfies with friends (one of their gimmicks). I believe a restaurant should trust it's customers and be confident with people taking photos of the food, but alas there are only the glossy manicured photos on their website. The bread dipped in beef candle wax was gimmicky. Gimmicky accurately describes this place. I read on their website afterwards that they only do the steaks medium rare, but I recall the waiter giving options and then glossed over to medium rare. I didn't feel that I had a real choice. The beef was left to rest but I didn't like getting warm meat, I like the meat hot. I felt like I was in a garish hyper Italian restaurant theme park "experience". I wasn't there for an "experience", I was there for a business lunch, which meant it wasn't realistic for me to leave to find somewhere else. I didn't choose the venue and having experienced it I won't return. The gimmicks wore off very quickly. Even the fire escape entrance was gimmicky. Plus the steak being the star of the show didn't have a nice wood fire grill taste even though it was grilled in their open kitchen in full view. I guess I wasn't happy with the "experience" so it affected my appreciation of the food.

Have been trying to get a sitting at Bistecca for quite some time now and our first dining experience last night did not disappoint! You’ve lived up to to all the hype and we will certainly come back for more! Thanks to all the wonderful staff for creating such a great experience.
