Food is great. Never ever a complaint as it's always beautifully served and tastes terrific. Service is horrible and ambience is certainly acceptable unless there are more than 7 tables full, You usually end up sitting with the people at the next table.

Food was reasonable. Two of the four meals were a bit room temperature instead of hot. Service was extremely slow.Atmosphere was cozy. Don’t have plans after dinner if you eat here.

A friend chose this location for her birthday dinner. Nice, varied menu. Everything the 4 of us ordered was very good. My spaghetti d'angelo was a generous portion that was not only aesthetically pleasing, but tasty as well. If you are in the area, give it a try.
Outstanding food & wonderful service. Strongly recommend for any occasion. One of our favorite restaurants with friends &/or family

The food was great but the service is very very slow. There were 2 other tables and we waited 20 mins for water.

I came here the other day, and the waitress was noticeably delightful. She was so friendly and so welcoming, and just gave off this comfortable demeanor.I ordered my food, learned that there are no burgers at this place, and settled down to sit. She brought me this beautiful glass of water, but it was kind of heavy, and I couldn’t lift it to drink it because I’ve injured my elbows.I asked her for a straw. She asked if I wouldn’t mind telling her how I injured my elbows and I told her “well I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome, which means…” and she completed my sentence for me. She knew what it was!She is apparently studying to be an EMT. I have encountered many medical professionals in extensive fields of learning, who have no idea what Ehlers Danlos syndrome is, so I was very impressed.She offered to open the door for me when I was leaving. She held the check down so I could sign it because I couldn’t lift my arm. She was insanely accommodating, and so kind.I will absolutely be back.I wish her luck on her studies! The world needs more people like her.
Cauliflower appetizer was very good, my pasta dish was also good, my partner’s lobster ravioli, not so much. Biggest challenge was chasing down the waitress for service. Including having to ask a different waiter for the check. The service was fairly non-existent. Disappointing

One of my favorite places to dine in Guilford, if not the whole shoreline. Always an excellent meal and great service. The whipped ricotta with honey appetizer is a delight. The gnocchi, penne vodka, and chicken Cristina are some of my favorites. Desserts vary each night and are scrumptious. You cannot go wrong. Outside, it's easy to pass this gem by but it is a warm inviting place with charming atmosphere once you are inside. Never had anything but incredible meals here.
The Penne alla amatriciana is the best pasta dish I've had in my life. Smoky, creamy, homey & rustic. I come here just to get this dish. Very cozy ambience, romantic - bistro lights hanging from the ceiling. The Mediterranean Mule with fig vodka is *chef's kiss*. I'm not a big fan of Italian food but I'm a huge fan of Guilford Bistro. Perfect for a date night, business dinner, or just a solo experience on a cold rainy evening. Rarely see children under 12. Long live Guilford Bistro!
