" While I'm a fan of Italian food, my experience at Italian Bistro was not what I expected. Upon arriving, the place had a confusing setup on how to order and be seated. I felt a bit lost. My chicken Marsala was decent but not spectacular. The service wasn’t too attentive for a sit-down meal, leaving us to wait longer between courses. It’s a cozy spot, which I appreciate, but I think I might try my luck elsewhere next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Italian Bistro several times and have enjoyed it every time. Their crème brûlée dessert is something I rave about to friends! The entrees are hearty, and I often leave with a full belly. The servers are friendly and quick to refill our drinks. I appreciate how family-friendly it is, too. It’s a restaurant we feel good bringing the kids to, and they love the pizza! " (*Curated Review*)

" Italian Bistro was a delightful surprise for me! I decided to try it for a late-night snack after hearing fantastic things. The caprese salad was fresh and bursting with flavor. I also enjoyed a slice of their pizza, and the combination of ingredients was simply perfect. At first, I was skeptical, but it exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly and kept a positive vibe, ensuring I had a good experience. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What an incredible dining experience at Italian Bistro. The moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff, and I noticed how they took the time to remember regular customers' names. The food was the real highlight; I ordered the eggplant parmesan, and it was one of the best I've had—crispy, flavorful, and served with a generous portion of marinara sauce. My partner had the chicken alfredo, which also received rave reviews. The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for date night. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a whim, I decided to try out Italian Bistro last night and was blown away! The lasagna was incredible—layers of flavor with rich cheese and a tangy tomato sauce. It was definitely one of the best I’ve had outside of Italy. The restaurant has a casual feel, and it's perfect for a cozy night out. The only downside was the wait time for food, but that's understandable given how busy they were. Our waiter was upbeat and helped make my dining experience memorable. I will be back for sure!

" The Italian Bistro is a fantastic spot! Their specials are always worth trying, and I usually go for the seafood linguine, which is delicious and generously portioned! I enjoy the homey feel of the place, which is often buzzing with customers. Although they can be a bit slow during peak hours, the quality of food makes it compelling to return. I left happy and satisfied every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Italian Bistro is a family favorite for us! We love coming here for the amazing pizza—it’s consistent every time. The crust is thin yet perfectly crispy just as a pizza should be. We often order their variety of toppings, and each slice is loaded! The staff knows our names at this point, which really adds to a welcoming atmosphere. Dining here is always a highlight of our week! " (*Curated Review*)
