I brought my wife here for a date night just to get out. It is now her favorite place to eat with super simple parking across the street. And unordinary but extraordinary cuisine.!!! My wife had the pear and prosciutto pizza and said best pizza she has ever had!!!

Enjoyed the atmosphere- it was sexy and vibrant. Lots of people at the bar in the restaurant. Service was top flight and stellar bartenders very receptive open and welcoming….very customer service driven. One thing I really liked is they had tasted the food so they were able to tell you what some of their favorite things were. How often do you go to restaurant and the person serving you has never tasted the food!? LBVS. I ordered the black spaghetti and my sister had the burger. The burger was slightly overcooked, but the meat was spot on quality and still VERY juicy. The truffle fries were very good while they were hot. My black spaghetti was good but lack seasoning it had tons of crab in it and a nice little spice at the end. I added salt and it tasted much better. They did also bring me butter and extra sauce. They have the absolute best club soda, water in town. It tasted clean and pure with just the right amount of bubbles. The focaccia bread was the best focaccia bread I’ve ever eaten. It was made in house. I am told by the servers. Honestly, everyone had a great smile. The service was stellar. The food was not as great, more like a 4 star BUT Bistro deserves five stars because this place is doing the right thing by customers with the EXPERIENCE! Anika and Lauren were our servers- so make sure you ask for them and tell them I said they are amazing and thank you!

Overall just a great experience, plenty of parking, lovely atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food. I highly recommend the Salmon. It was delicious. I wish I would have ordered some kind of bread to clean the leftover sauce on my plate. Our server Sarah was awesome. Definitely will be back for lunch

Underwhelming. The meatballs need Ricotta. When you serve someone a salmon they don't want salmon chunks in their vegetables. Filet was "ok" for the price point . We won't be coming back. Service was great from start to finish.

Stopped here on a late Tuesday afternoon. Ordered the cauliflower and broccoli appetizer, and it was great. It literally melts in your mouth. Had the chicken wrap and the ravioli (which was good as well), but the pizza (Rustica) completely stole the show. It was probably some the best pizza I've ever had. To follow that up, we ordered the black cherry soda. It was different and delicious. I will definitely be visiting again.

Great service for our large group 👍🏾
Ambiance is lovely !
Meat balls are delicious, cocktail was good, black spaghetti was wonderful, deserts were sweet ! Risotto can be better.
Over all good experience. Parking can be little tight during weekends.

I’m not a massive fan of Italian food, but their rigatoni bolognese is one of the best I’ve ever had. My wife ordered the ravioli, which was also superb.

People on our table also ordered risotto.

Overall, a great dining experience.
