   Bistecca is a wonderful restaurant for a special occasion. We dined there last night since our daughter was visiting from Ohio and the entire experience was outstanding.

   Arrived for an early dinner on a Sunday and BISTECCA did not disappoint. The Steak Salerno is divine as always and the Short Rib and Veal DaVinci hit the spot. A wonderful gem where the service is great and the food will have you wishing for more the next day.

   Great food! Great service! Avoid the seat just behind the hostess stand because of the speaker right above the table. The New York Strip special was cooked exactly how I asked for it. The wife’s lobster tail was perfectly soft. Looking forward to our next night out to eat there.

    Four of us. Entrees were Salmon. Lamb Venison. Filet medallions. The first three were exceptional. The beef medallions were nothing to write home about. Openers. Tuna tuna nachos and Steak Salerno. Good as always. A bowl of seafood was great. The dessert. Death by chocolate. All loved it. The real issue - loud. Very loud. The restaurant would be more inviting if it took noise reduction measures. Yes. Easily done As so many stories and - and a good time was had by all.

    Always just so consistent and cooked to perfection. We ordered the combo for two (filet and lobster tail) and it NEVER disappoints. My husband also ordered the oysters on the half shell and they were big and delicious. Tasty bread and butter. Also great wine list with reasonable prices.

    Very nice evening. Our second visit - brought new friends on this evening. Proud to bring people who had not dined here before - Bistecca performed well. The menu items are all very good - but last night’s NY Strip dinner special was even a step above…..

    This place is amazing! You'd expect it to be in the center of Downtown Dallas but it's not. We're so lucky to have this delicious restaurant in the suburbs less than 10 minutes from our house. A perfect place to celebrate any special occasion. The food is superb, the service is spot on & the ambiance is intimate. I love everything about Bistecca 🫶🏻

    We tried Bistecca last night for dinner....WOW, best restaurant we have tried in our 10 mile Flower Mound bubble... The service was exactly what you would expect from high end restaurant. Our server Alex made the whole experience incredible. She knew the menu, could describe the dishes and ingredients, she was very helpful. Chef/Owner Morris Salerno Jr. stopped by every table and greeted his customers...he was warm and friendly...clearly had several frequent diners there with whom he stopped to chat. Fresh Oysters and Escargot for appetizers, plus a complementary sample of their popular Steak Salerno appetizer as a first timer...Venison Chop and Sea Bass Special for entrees...and we took a piece of Death by Chocolate Cake to-go. This place is the real deal...will definitely be back. Really nice work Chef Salerno.

    We know that dinner at Bistecca never disappoints. We enjoyed the steak Salerno which is our fav app of all time. The creamy tomato soup was perfect. My husband got the bone in ribeye steak special with Gorgonzola butter. I ordered the seafood special which was a red snapper in a lemon butter sauce with creamy risotto. The entire meal was just WOW. Service is always great. Espresso martinis are a musts

    We have been to bistecca several times over the years to celebrate special occasions, anniversaries, etc. Food has always been very good. This time I had the strip steak and it was fantastic. Wife had the fillet medallions, and it was equally as good. I am one of those guys that says I wont order steak out because I make a better steak at home, but this steak was really really good. This place is for sure a keeper restaurant to enjoy.

    Only thing that is very frustrating is they don’t split plates anymore. I am fine with paying a split charge for splitting salad or entrees. Don’t really understand why the change. Many Restraurant’s have no issue with doing. Please change back

    This place deserves its 5 star rating. We had half a dozen oysters, escargot, the sea bass, the duck and venison. First off, being a sous chef in an earlier life I can say how hard it is to cook duck and venison, and both were done perfectly! And the sea bass is one of the best I’ve ever had period. I had the This Little Piggy cocktail which was very good if you like good bourbon. The ambience and service was great, thanks Kat! Both my wife and I worked in hospitality and agreed this night was top notch. One of two detractors was we could tell the glass of red wine my wife got was old or not sealed properly. To the owners the 2nd detractor, you have got to address the fruit flies! I literally had one fly into my water in about 5 minutes. My wife had one fly into her wine halfway through dinner. And I also saw a woman at another table fish one out of her white wine. We also had to bat them away during a Sunday night dinner. The restaurant seems very clean so check the bar area and kitchen please!

    Went for wife's birthday and had a very good meal. Started with crab cakes which were excellent and loaded with crab meat. Wifey had the sea bass and I had the osso buco. Both were excellent entrees. For dessert (complimentary) we had the chocolate crepe which was just right amount of sweet after the meal. Our server Hunter did a good job and was very attentive.
