Sensational!! I just got back from Greece and this restaurant is the most authentic Greek food I’ve ever had in the states. Absolutely delicious and incredible. The service was exceptional. Cannot recommend more. The baked feta with spicy honey is to die for! The salmon and lamb chops are chefs kiss!

Food was delicious! Our server was great but the food came out in bits so some were eating and almost finished when the final meals were served. We were a party of 8.

We enjoy going to Bistecca before heading across the street to the loft theater. Recent visit was particularly outstanding. Our server was friendly and knowledgable. The dining room was busy but not full so noise level was perfect. Had the espresso martini which was very tasty and filled to the brim. Now for the reason you keep coming back…the food. It was excellent. I usually get the salmon (always very good) but I opted for the Ricotta Pumpkin Gnocchi this time, new for fall, which was a treat—so delicious! My husband had the Steak Frites and I am happy to say he shares his frites —which must be the best in the region. They are perfectly fried and seasoned and the Parmesan just adds more yum! His steak was perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful. We will be back!
