" The food was extraordinary! I ordered the meatballs and spaghetti, and everything was homemade, tasting authentic and fresh. The owner came to greet us, which added a nice personal touch. Highly recommend for those who appreciate genuine Italian food. I will surely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing good reviews about Backstreet Bistro, my wife and I decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed! The lasagna surpassed any I've eaten before. The layers were rich with flavor and perfectly cooked. The staff was friendly and effortlessly attentive. The only downside was the lack of vegetarian options on the menu. Nonetheless, we plan to return and explore more of their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our party of five had dinner here, and the food was excellent! I had the ravioli, and it was perfectly cooked with a flavorful sauce. Everyone was pleased with their meals. The service was attentive but could have been a little faster. The atmosphere was perfect for our celebratory dinner. We'll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed with my last experience. I expected more from the reviews I read. I found the pasta bland and the portion sizes small for what I paid. The service was decent but felt like they were understaffed. Their outdoor patio is beautiful, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon unless I hear of some positive changes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice restaurant with a very homey feel to it. I really enjoyed my meal; it tasted like it was made with love. The only downside was the wait for our order to be taken—it was quite long! Otherwise, once we ordered, everything was top-notch, from flavors to service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely one of my favorite dining spots! The comfort food qualities of their menu are superb. I had the chicken marsala, which was packed with flavor, complemented with a glass of their red wine. Every bite felt like a special treat. It was busy, but the staff remained efficient and friendly. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Backstreet Bistro last Saturday and was pleasantly surprised by the warm and inviting environment. I had the prime rib special, which was cooked to perfection and really flavorful. However, I thought the dessert options were quite limited, and we had to wait a bit for our server to check on us during the meal. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)
