First of all, I must confess that I am not a fan of restaurants located inside nondescript office buildings. Just the entry experience alone is usually enough to kill my appetite.
Bistecca markets itself as a true Italian steak house. However, I find the food and decor generally lack authenticity.
My salad of Iceberg Hearts and Roasted Peppers was over dressed, which is a mistake often made by local restaurants doing Western food because they want to cater to local palettes.
The Spaghetti Bolognese was good but not spectacular. Perhaps I really had too high of an expectation for this joint.
Their 12oz Sirloin was the highlight of the evening. Very well prepared and nicely charred on the surface.
Unfortunately, the dessert was once again a let down. I ordered the Panna Cotta which was way too hard. My espresso was also nowhere near an authentic Italian cup...
I am not going to get too much into the detail of the decor. All I will say is that although the vibe is distinctly Italian, I cannot help but feel that I've been placed in an articial environment.
I hear their lunch deals are great. Perhaps that's worth a try, because dinner is just way too pricey for what it is.
