Bistro Italiano, Washington, District of Columbia Restaurant Details

Food:

We didn't bother to stay for dinner. First, the place smelled off when we entered. The menu was at times non-sensical. Our waitress had an attitude and was totally clueless. There were about 7 mixed drinks on the menu. My wife ordered a Kir Royale and she said that she didn't "think they had that." huh? Add procseco and crème de cassis I replied. She looked back at me dumbly. When half of our party of four ordered but they did not have what we ordered, we decided to pay for our drinks and leave. STAY AWAY.

Food:

The food really is excellent and it's easy to be seated even without reservations. Our waiter was excellent as well. As others said, they portions are very generous, so you can take some home for lunch the next day. The only thing they need to improve on is the decor- it's got '80s lights surrounding the bar. We will be back!

Food:

Love the intimate atmosphere. Good food and knowledgeable staff. Great place for a business lunch or a quiet dinner with a date.

Food:

Food:

This a great cozy restaurant to have lunch or dinner with friends or that special person. The food was great and I thought reasonable. I highly recommend it. If you are a fan of Pasta Plus in Laurel, you will love Bistro Italiano.
