The women who were working the tables were great. They were attentive and did the best they could. I can’t fault them. The food however was not good, not even close to good. And the man who ran around in between throwing plates down and tutting at the other servers was awful. The chicken was 2am kebab style i.e cooked to within an inch of burnt. Dry as anything. A real shame because the environment is good, the area is great. I’d maybe come in for a drink but would avoid eating.

I went with a group of work colleagues. We all enjoyed the food specially that Bobby, great person who serviced our table, set our expectations up front regading the kitchen capabilities of preparing the food for a large group, as well as set us up on a number of tasty appetizers that everyone liked. The place itself is cozy and has a nice outdoors dining area. They serve nice cocktails and for food you're surely have a new experience.

I ordered online for pickup. They said 30 minutes, but it actually took 50. I waited for 20 minutes outside on the sidewalk because that's where the sign said to stand, and they didn't offer me a seat or give any explanations as to the delay. My food was simultaneously overcooked and cold when they gave it to me. A freezer pizza would have tasted better, cost less, and been considerably faster. Also the bottom of the box was covered in some kind of sticky sauce which got all over my hands and car seat. Maybe if you ate at the restaurant you'd have a better experience. I definitely do not recommend you try their take out.

Chef was awesome. Kitchen is visible from the dining room and he happily provided us with details regarding cuisine and the restaurant background.Food was delicious. We all had something different and ended up sharing it all. Very pleasantly surprised by how good the smoked salmon tortellini tasted.Would absolutely go back!

The pizza, cocktails, and pasta are delicious and authentic. I had the lamb chops on top of somethingi couldn't pronounce, but none the less my tongue enjoyed it. The music was delightful, the staff were super friendly, funny, and helpful.

came with 3 friends for happy hour & dinner. bobby and sam were SO kind and accommodating - so funny and a pleasure to be around. great cocktail list and even better food. we were all so happy with the overall experience. i promised i would bring them homemade baklava so i will be back :)

Such a pity the espresso machine was having trouble as I so much like a good coffee after a good meal and wine

Such a cute little hidden gem in the German Village. It's part of 2 sisters restaurants. It reminds me of a chose you're own adventure book. They have a really great lounge/bar space great for relaxing with friends or a traditional dining space. Can't wait to go back and try more of their food and drink offerings and the patio!

Had Valentine's dinner there, very cozy and amazing food. If one of our appetizers or drinks took a little longer than expected, they were extremely apologetic. Will definitely be visiting again!!

We love spending evenings at Bistrolino!The food is always outstanding but the locally-owned and operated atmosphere brings us back frequently ?The bar side, Ferdinand, is a great cozy place to spend a cold winter night. We always meet some interesting fellow patrons!
