We had a wonderful time for my mom’s birthday, very comfortable, felt safe, great service and value and can’t wait to go back! Food as always was excellent, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed; thanks for celebrating Mom at Bistro & for the 5star on food, service & safety. Team BR.
Hostess was very welcoming. Food was very good. The bread and sun dried tomato spread was awesome. Short rib croquettes, an appetizer, were a little dry. Bianca Sangria was great.
Our waitress did seem to forget about us towards the end of our main entrees. We had no food nor drink left and we were kind of just waiting. Who I think was a manager or the owner did walk by our table a handful of times and so we asked him for the check. Our waitress did then come over with the check, and not that we wanted anything else, but we were not asked if we wanted dessert or another drink. Our waitress was nice, she just seemed to have forgotten about us.
Always terrific. The food is amazing. It's a wonderful ambiance. And the service was spectacular
One of the best restaurants in the city! Incredible food & service
A wonderful setting for my girlfriend and I’s anniversary dinner. Food was excellent. We were seated in the private wine cellar room. It made for a very romantic dinner evening!
Delighted our candlelit wine cellar played a part in your important anniversary celebration and that you found the food excellent. We value your recommendation and 5stars. Cheers. Team BR.
The Bistro R crew and all the fixings are outstanding. For over 12 years Ive been a happy dining customer and they never cease to amaze me. Mike does not miss anything and he does not cut corners on the quality of the authenticity, quality, taste and finer food and drinks. They continue to offer continuity and resilience. Also, Wil the server was outstanding and so kind. He paid close attention to detail and offered award wining service with 100% customer service excellence.
Thanks for welcoming me and my husband this evening. It was so GREAT to see you all again.
See you soon.
It was great seeing you both; glad we could catch up a bit. Thanks for the 5star review along with your compliments, we appreciate it. Twelve years, time flies! Team BR.
Food was great! Service was great, Victor the manager was very attentive. They made sure to check on food safety for the person who has food allergies.
Went there to celebrate my friends’ birthday and it was great! The server and runner were so nice and helped us order new foods for us to try. We even tried their homemade Limoncello!They also helper serve and cut the cake I brought in as well.
Great food, great service. All safety protocols in effect. Excellent all around!
Thanks for the 5stars; great food & service in a safe environment is on the menu at Bistro. Thanks for joining us. Team BR.

Food, ambience and service all amazing!! Joey was a fantastic server!
Three for three, we'll take it! Thanks for joining us. Team BR.
Loved the food and atmosphere. The filet and Burrato appetizer were so good .
Very nice evening and good food and wine options. The food was copious, a little too much for some of us, and of a high standard. The desserts were nice too. I wouldn't go so far as to say amazing or memorable but very nice.
Thank you for sharing your experience & for the 5stars, we appreciate it. Team BR.
Love it, our server was Awesome,
Thank you!! Team BR.
I'm somewhat a regular here so I enjoy the food. I was here for a business dinner for a visiting executive from a client company. The only issue for the evening was they ran out of the Tiramisu for dessert. No complaints otherwise.
A Bistro VIP indeed. Apologies about the tiramisu; guests that evening shared your fondness hence the sellout. We appreciate being your go-to for client dinners and with your family as well. See you soon. Thanks, Team BR.
I have been going to bistro Romano for many years they know me and it's sort of a family situation now the food does not disappoint. I usually have the veal saltimbocca which is delicious. And I also had the roasted cauliflower soup which was just outstanding.
Our server was super nice and on top of everything! The food was the most delicious Italian food I have ever had. It is a pricier restaurant, but completely worth it. Will absolutely be back!
Terrific as always!! Caesar salad is the best I have ever had; never dissapoints.
Terrific.....super! Thanks for the extra kudos for our Caesar, must say we agree!! Thanks again, Team BR.
When you go stick to the food they're known for such as the Caesar Salad and any pasta with bolognese. The rest is just average.
The wine store at the entrance of the restaurant is confusing since we asked the hostess and she said that we could have, at the table, any wine you'd buy at the store, but as soon as we sat down, the waitress said that we received wrong information and that we needed to order from the wine list.
Glad we had an opportunity to speak, thank you. Our apologies for any confusion. We look forward to your return. Team BR.
We went there for my mother in laws birthday. Overall we had a great experience. Definitely will go back.
This has been my third time there this year and I have enjoyed each experience! The food is amazing! The overall atmosphere and ambience is very warm and romantic too. The service has been top notch as well
Can’t recommend this place enough! Very delicious, great service and ambiance.
We sat upstairs next to the bar and our waiter/the bartender (forgot his name) was very accomodating and knowledgeable of the menu!
My birthday.
Thanks for joining us for your Birthday celebration and your note. Team BR.
I'm always a fan of Bistro Romano. The food is great and the service is impeccable. I hadn't been there in quite some time, but was pleased that they were following Covid protocols and I felt very comfortable.

One of our favorite spots to eat in the city. Delicious! Can't wait to go back.

I took my boyfriend to Bistro Romano for his birthday. We ordered Gnocchi and Lasagna with Lamb ragout and both were delicious and hearty. The downstairs seating is cavernous, moody, and beautiful. Our server was so attentive and personable (I believe his name is Gelli).
Thanks for the high marks and for celebrating with us. Glad you enjoyed the food, service and ambience. Team BR.
Romantic setting very friendly staff was very helpful
made for a great first date!!
Glad you enjoyed the granary ambience; thanks for choosing us for this important first date. Team BR.
Perfect!!!
Food was good. Service was ok. Server seemed a little overwhelmed.
Glad you enjoyed the food yet disappointed to hear about the service. We did try to reach you, left a voicemail to learn more about your visit and to apologize you did not experience the exceptional service for which we are known. Should you wish to speak to us kindly call 215.925.8880. We appreciate it when our guests let us know if we fell short in order to improve. We hope to hear from you. Thanks, Team BR.
What a delightful evening. We were seated downstairs as per our request. Our server was extremely attentive. We chose the 5 course Chefs choice. Every course was better than the last.
What a memorable evening. We will definitely be back.

Delighted to hear of your memorable evening regarding the Chef Tasting & service. Thanks for joining us and for this excellent review. We look forward to your return. Team BR.
Awesome menu. Delicious food
Thank you! Thanks for joining us & for the high marks.
Never fails my expectations, food, wine and service always excellent
Great review! Thanks for joining us. Team BR.
We drove from NJ to have a meal here. Discovered this gem a few years ago . Last night we went with the tasting menu which pairs wines with each course. Started with a lovely Rose sparkling wine. The chef sent over a pepper pureed soup that was creamy and delicious. We had the choice of letting the chef choose our courses or we could choose ourselves. We had a few diet restrictions so we chose. After the soup came a juicy tender octopus appetizer paired with a Smooth white wine. Followed up by 2 short rib croquettes accompanied by a tasty Montepulcino. To say stuffed at this point was an understatement but our server slowed everything down bringing the bottles of wine to show us what we were drinking. We never felt in anyway rushed. Next course was an amazing homemade fettuccine in a meaty bolognese which came with a very smooth housemade chianti that we immediately ordered bottles to take home with us. Our main course was the veal saltimbucca. Thin slices of tender veal with a crispy prosciutto and just the right amount of cheese with a delicious wine reduction over a pureed mash potato. They paired the veal with a fabulous Argentinian Malbec. Dessert was a chocolate cake of some sort that my chocolate loving husband scooped up. This was accompanied by a glass of port. The whole dinner was an experience I would highly recommend. The portions are generous as was the wine pour so you will be more then satisfied. The atmosphere is very romantic. The whole table has to join the experience in order for you to participate and it is well worth the ride from NJ. The 4 of us have dined in many restaurants in NJ and NYC as well as traveled alot and we all agreed one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. You also couldnt beat the value for all the food and wine we had. We will definitely be back
Your review presents a wonderful detail of the Chef Tasting certainly the experience we want for our guests. Your attention to detail is a pleasure to read regarding your courses, wines & service. We are thrilled to be on your Best Dining Experience list. Glad to hear you enjoyed the wines & purchased a few to go.
