Bistango at The Kimberly Hotel

Outstanding. Gluten free heaven. We had the pizza and pasta.

Went for brunch and sat inside. For early in the morning, I found the indoor seating/ wall decor to be a little dark (we were really hoping to sit outside, but it was WAY too hot!) The portions were decently sized, the food was tasty, and the restaurant wasn't too loud so conversations were easy. Definitely a cute date place, but recommend sitting outside!

The food was good, however the outdoor seating was problematic as the elevator from the sidewalk continually opened up and sheets and garbage were brought up very near our table. It was unsettling, After eating we moved inside with our drinks to the lovely lobby and it was much better.

A group of 5 of us came here 3 years ago. One of us required a gluten-free meal and Bistango did not disappoint! We returned again tonight and the food (both gluten and sans gluten) were delicious and done to our satisfaction. The service here is also excellent- all of our waters were refilled, additional bread with hummus brought out, new forks and knives were brought out when needed. The waiter checked on us from time to time. They also serve gluten-free dessert options which was a plus. It’s hard to find a restaurant that serves good Italian food that is delicious even in its gluten-free version.

It’s was ok. Made it up to the rooftop, and the service was good there too. But it was all only ok.

The service was great. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu. He recommended the veal which was delicious. The prices were fair for New York. We liked it enough to return the next night for dessert.

Loved that everything on menu is also offered gluten free

Excellent gluten-free choices and friendly staff - a hidden gem!

Always fantastic food and service .

Hidden gem. The special of the day was delicious: shrimp pasta.

Lovely to sit outside and our waiter was great, but the food was low level. The artichokes seemed from a can and the cauliflower and bread crumbs in my orecchiette were mushy.

Sadly, this is my first negative review ever, and I never thought I’d have to write it about Bistango. My Husband and I have eaten at the original Bistango a number of times and have always thought it was excellent. We are in NYC for one night this time, and staying in Midtown, so we decided to make a reservation at Bistango at the Kimberly, since it was only 2 blocks from our hotel. We are also entertaining two couples for a Hamilton NYC weekend in a few weeks and thought this would be an excellent choice, based on its location. Wow, was I wrong. Our dinner tonight could not have even been considered adequate. Both my Husband and I had salads to start, and both were fine, but certainly not noteworthy. Our entrees did not even rise to the level of adequate. I had the Oriacchetti Pasta with Roasted Cauliflower. I have had this dish in other restaurants and loved it. Tonight, I literally couldn’t eat it. It tasted stale and really awful. I didn’t want to make an issue, but when asked by our server, I told her nicely what I thought. She said she would tell the chef, but did not offer to do anything for me such as replace the dish, or remove it from our bill. My Husband ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana at out server’s suggestion. It was very over cooked and literally burned around the edges. The sauce tasted like Ragu as well. We paid the $128 bill and left this restaurant very unsatisfied. My Husband stopped and bought a salad at a small bodega near our hotel, and said it was by far better than dinner. What a disappointment!

Nice staff. Good food. Good service. Nice hidden gem. I recommend.

Best restaurant for gluten free food. Everything was delicious! Wait staff friendly and courteous.

Convenient location and reasonable price. Food is good, not spectacular but not bad. Had brunch with my friend and wanted to be closer to Grand Central station. Mimosa and Bloody Marry for $4/glass for brunch. Pretty good deal. Lunch/brunch menus are mostly around $16-18. They have small outdoor seating which does not have much ambiance though better than indoor seating I think.

Appetizers were great, colleagues entrees look really good, mine was ok.

The atmosphere was very nice and the table service wonderful.

Food was very good and reasonable.

Enjoyed the pasta and shrimp. Very well cooked.

We came here for a nice lunch, but were disappointed. The food is ok, but not worth the price. They say everything is made in house, but some of the food (the fries and tiramisu) tasted freezer burned. The service was very friendly, but spotty.

Great wine
Wonderful burger

We had a lovely brunch at Bistango and was also a guest at the hotel. As a frequent visitor to NYC I can clearly say the staff and the hotel were the highest quality. In addition we had our daughters wedding at the sister Reston 3rd and 29th street. Having a gluten free wedding was a priority for my daughter and the food was excellent. In addition the staff were very helpful and the service great. Thank you all for a beautiful weekend!

Very nice service, food and ambiance. Especially enjoyed our flatbread, salad and blueberry tart dessert (which was more like a small pie).

Outstanding value and excellent service as my wife and I entertained or were entertained by a friend.. who happened to be in NY on the same dates... we are all from Malaysia and Singapore hence the coincidence is super special.

The food was excellent.. enough variety to meet our varied dietary restrictions and the service was just superb.

I would visit again if given a chance.. for the location and the value and even the drinks just made for an awesome ambience

We had great service and didn’t feel neglected at all.
Food was tasty and appreciated the bread and hummus appetizer.

Will come back again.

Great dinner!!! What a lovely spot to enjoy some great food. Service was top-notch. Started with an appetizer, followed by an entree and desert. All courses were great. We enjoyed our evening very much!!

For someone with a gluten allergy to hear a server say “anything on the menu can be adapted to accommodate your needs” is simply the best - and Bistango graciously offers this. The GF bread, pasta and flatbreads were excellent. Better than others I’ve had. Will definitely return.

Locale anonimo e cibo piuttosto ordinario. Servizio basico.

We went on Easter Sunday - Food was good and the service was better.
they asked about allergies, and took care for those from appetizers to dessert .
The Halibut was cooked to perfection and the Cavatelli was delicious.
would definitely go back again

Had Easter brunch. Arrived early and was seated at the “bar” which wasn’t a bar but good cocktails. Brunch was delish and a great value.

My family went to this restaurant for the first time in April 2019 and had a great experience. We had three of four diners with dietary restrictions, and all were able to be handled and were provided multiple options. The entire menu can be made gluten free, and there were lots of vegetarian options as well. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, and the ambiance was nice. Will definitely go again.

Everything was delicious. Our server was extremely nice and attentive. We ate outside, so occasionally car horns sounded, but we’d eat here again in a heartbeat.

I had guest staying at the hotel so decided to try the restaurant in the lobby. I was a cut above most hotel restaurants and the prices were in line with NYC. I was very pleased that I chose Bistango for dinner. And our waiter was great! Wonderful personality and very helpful.

Always good from salads through dessert. A good wine list. Service is always great (thanks, Milos).
Just a great spot.

Great gluten free food!

Love, love, loved Bistango!! Had gluten-free pasta with meat sauce and basil and a beet salad. Dessert was gluten-free tiramisu. Highly recommend.

All menu items can be made gluten free - all pastas and deserts! So good!
We took some friends there for dinner on Friday who were not gluten free and the dishes they had were also delicious. Service is great. Noise is not an issue. We go to New York every couple of months and Bistango is always one of in our destinations, sometimes more than once in the weekend!

Awesome gluten free menu options. Great service.

I booked a table for a party of 10 after a performance at Carnegie Hall. We came in earlier than our reservation time, and they were able to accommodate us early (5:30 PM for a 6:15 PM reservation). The server was a delight, made wonderful wine recommendations. Most everyone ordered pasta dishes, and no one was disappointed, including some of us with food restrictions. We also indulged in dessert, and there wasn't a bad option of the entire menu (we got one of everything, when looking around the table) - I will note that the carrot cake did not seem to have cream cheese frosting, which as a little bit of a bummer, but the cake was still delicious. As a gluten-intolerant person, it was a treat to be able to order anything off the menu, and it wasn't just "good for being gluten-free", it was just good. I highly recommend coming here and checking it out (the butternut squash ravioli was SO good!)

I love the fish tank as you walk in! The restaurant was smaller than I expected, but that didn't take away from the food which was really delicious, perfect for a prix-fixe lunch with coworkers. The kitchen was accommodating with my special requests and I'd definitely go back again!

Great food. Family friendly. Awesome lava cake for dessert. Close to our hotel in midtown.

Service is a little slow for not being very busy. Main server was goo . But one of the waiters kept coming around to take our plates before we were all done ,making you feel a little rushed . Literally still had the fork in my hand and grabbed the plate before I answered .
