“The food is amazing. Very authentic pizza and the homemade pastas are unique and flavorful. The only downside on the menu is dessert. There is a hazelnut chocolate torte that tastes waxy, the panna cotta is good but not great and they add a lot of unnecessary toppings like black sesame seeds, and finally the gelato was icy, not creamy. I won't stop coming here because of the dessert but just be forewarned. If it's your birthday just hope they have tiramisu which is often the dessert of the day and quite good. Also, I don't understand the need for club music. It takes away from the ambiance. We always opt to sit outside where we can hear one another and they are more than accommodating.“
“Tldr; great food, great experience. Highly recommended.We were there for the spring '24 menu and chose to get the sommelier pairing with it.The paired wines brought out the flavors in each of the dishes in unexpected ways (I'm not very familiar with wine but with how well this was done it's impossible to miss). The biggest change was the Moscato with the lemon olive oil dessert. The cake was understated... until I took a sip of the Moscato and all the flavors popped (which surprisingly is not technically dessert wine but worked really well).I got the Porterhouse, not the fish option, so I can tell you the steak was delicious, but can't speak to the fish.The biggest surprise of the night was the Blue Crab Agnolloti. I could eat a bucket of those.You can see the presentation was great (for all the dishes not just the one in the pics).Look, this is a great meal and the price will reflect that, but it was worth every penny. I've talked about the food already and hopefully got across that it was very good... but somehow the atmosphere of the place and the service were at least as good if not better.The wine cellar in the basement is where you start the night and it really sets the tone. Amazing wine options and a good whiskey selection (which is more my style) as well as some tasty charcuterie.The servers are professional, very knowledgeable, and pleasant. We even got to go back into the kitchen to meet the food wizards and get a peak behind the scenes.If you can swing the bill, I highly recommend it.“
“We've been to multiple locations in different states, this one is definitely a top favorite now! Our server Isaiah was amazing, he recommended all our favorite dishes of the night and was friendly and sweet! Service was quick and easy, and Isaiah really made our experience top tier. We will be back!“
“I've been to Knife Pleat half a dozen times for dinner and generally, it's been quite good to excellent depending on the day. Some dishes fail to impress but generally speaking most dishes are exciting, novel, and suffice to say extremely tasty. The desserts in particular have been incredibly creative and interesting. I also find it refreshing to get so many vegetables in a meal of this caliber!Wine pairings have been excellent as well, and the head bartender is very, very skilled.The service is good. All the servers have been incredibly friendly, but the service has felt very rigid and unrefined at various points. What I mean by this is that they are trying very, very hard to do things the "correct" way that it feels very unnatural at times and a bit starling, like when they circle around the table and all stand behind each guest, pause for 2 seconds, then place the dishes down at the same time. I do greatly respect their ambitions, (I think they're going for 2 stars), but this sort of thing I just find silly and unnecessary, even if it was a 2 star.My biggest complaint is just how outrageously priced it is. $295 for 6 courses is deep into 2-star pricing territory. You add in a wine pairing and the mandatory 23% service fee and you're looking at almost $600 per person.I would truly love nothing more than for them to grow into this price point, but as it stands, the meal is quite overpriced.“
“My husband and I love this place for date nights. The food is consistently great. The music and dancing is romantic. And Frankie and the bar staff always provide top notch service. My favorite drink is the Irish-O and my husband likes the old fashioned. Guacamole and chips is a great appetizer. And we usually order the steak and chicken entrees. I am never disappointed at Bistango.“
