    Been eating here for 10 years. This was a disappointing experience. The snapper special was an uncomfortably huge portion and was mealy, flavorless and just bad. They happy replaced it with the Chicken Parm but that turned out to be disappointing as well. SO sad a local spot has gone down hill.

    Bistango is one of my favorite restaurants in New York City. The service is always excellent and the food is fantastic. I also love the wine selection. I have introduced many friends to Bistango and they all agree that it's an excellent restaurant.

    Everything was very good, went with another couple. All got something different and all enjoyed their meal. I would recommend sitting at bar as drinks we’re pricey and you could enjoy same meal with happy hour drink prices at the bar.

    No good selections for usual pasta and northern Italian fare. Pizzettes are overpriced for the quality and size (17 to 22) dollars Wine is overpriced for glass and quality 15 dollars and up There are so many other choices for good Italian at a fair price in NY

    Gluten free options were phenomenal. Every Dessert was gluten free, even the cakes (which were amazing). Only complaint I have was that it was my birthday and I wrote it in the comments, the restaurant did nothing special for it which was surpassing that it wasn’t even brought up.

    Be a the space is small you are really crammed in. This was my second time going there because of the gluten free menu. A little more variety would be nice. Prices high but this is NY. We felt rushed, they started cleaning tables before we we were fully finished. Service was a little slow. Overall ok experience.

    My friend and I went to this place for brunch. Very glad we did. I’ve passed by this restaurant many times and promise I won’t just pass it by again. Not your typical brunch items. I had the baked eggs in tomato - been awhile so honestly forgetting the rest of the ingredients but it was simple and delicious. I do recall the bread - which was great - and even the oil was flavored with garlic. Really nicely done. Service was amazing. Truly a overall really pleasant experience. Definitely will be back

    Christmas Eve dinner. We were visiting NYC and went to dinner there. Two in our party are GF and the restaurant is awesome for GF. Everything can be prepared GF including the desserts. We had the best tiramisu and chocolate mousse. So good we went back for dessert again 2 days later. Recommend going to the Bistango on 3rd & 29th. The other one is not the same as the original, different owners.
