Diner Reviews

"My Sole was delicious. Also shared a small salad w blue cheese, greens, and apples w a delicious warm bacon dressing. Yummy. Our out of town guests were pleased with the pork Piccatta as well. Our waiter did not rush us as requested n it made our evening very relaxing to enjoy our visit w old friends."

"Came here for birthday celebration w small group of friends. Excellent food! The sea bass was to die for and the chicken dishes were also excellent. Everyone left full and with doggie bags! Service was a little off; our server was attentive but didn't seem very knowledgeable about some of the specials. Loved it! Will be back again and again."

"We loved the restaurant and the food was excellent. We had the sea bass and touranados. However, we were very disappointed in Open Table. We made a reservation for 7 PM but the day before our visit, we changed it to 6:30 so we could take advantage of the early bird. I had emailed Open Table to find out why I didn't get a confirmation. I never heard from them. When we arrived at Bistro 821, they did not have the change to 6:30. The early bird ended at 7 and they did not have any tables so we had to wait quite a while. They were very nice and accommodating though."

"There are many great places to eat in Naples, but, handsdown, this was the best food ever. From the bread and excellent dipping sauce until the fabulous dessert, everything was delicious. The caesar salad was crisp with just the right amount of dressing. It actually even had anchovies on it! The miso sake sea bass was buttery and succulent. The mashed potatoes were creamy and the asparagus done to perfection. Each bite melted in your mouth. Our waiter's, Bobby, suggestions were right on. It truly was the best dinner we can remember having in Naples."

"Service staff was very responsive throughout!! The Ceaser salad outstanding. Try the $10 upgrade offered during "Happy Hour Dining Menu"...we thought it was worth it to have seabass. Food and service Consistent every time we visit. Portions are geneous. Only minor negative....we thought the Chef was a bit too generous on the white miso. My motto, "Why Eat at Home"."

"We went to this restaurant since I love Sea bass and wanted to try their #1 favorite. To my surprise, it was very fishy. My husband ordered pork shop with risotto, another disappointment, the risotto was over cooked. We will give this restaurant a second chance, but will order something else."

"We had the best meal we've had yet in Naples. They accommodated my step daughter with a vegan meal and my husband and I enjoyed the Chilean sea bass entree which was absolutely wonderful! The service and food were top notch. We also enjoyed outdoor dining. We will be back!"

"We are locals and it is our favorite place in town. The waiters or waitresses are very friendly. The sea bass is delicious and the tenderloin is great. I also recommend the salads. I am European and my fiancé is American. He knows I am hard to please when it comes to find the right restaurant. Every time he says " let's go to bistro 821" he puts a smile on my face."

"If you have a special occasion(an anniversary, a birthday, an engagement) this is the place to go to celebrate. The food was outstanding. The best scallops I ever had. I started with escargot, which was very tasty. Loved that croutons were cooked on top. Nice touch. My husband had the sea bass. We celebrated his birthday. This was our first time here, but definitely we will be back."

"This is the one that started all the revival along 5th Avenue back in the mid 90s and it still delivers. Seafood is great and their early dining specials are the best on 5th."

"We dined here for the first time last Saturday night. I had made reservations at 6:00 PM for four and were seated immediatley upon arrival. By 6:30 every table was full! We all ordered from the wine & dine menu (2 entrees & a bottle of wine for $32.95). Several of us ordered a salad for a few dollars more which was great. Everyone enjoyed their meals...my sole dish was wonderful and my husband had the shrimp stir-fry and he said it was the best he had ever had. We will definitely be back."

"Bistro is one of our few "go to" restaurants. Their wine and dine menu has many more offerings than most early dining menus and you can't beat the value. Service is attentive and we enjoy the informal casual feel of the dining room."

"Excellent service. However, my pork chop was the strangest fattiest chop I have ever seen. Risotto was mushy, more like oatmeal. Not what I had looked forward to."
