I want to say wow !! Seriously chef Gabriel thank you so much, that was an amazing meal your Wood-Fired cooking always impresses. It is always impressive to see when a rockstar chef opens a restaurant and is still there making sure everything runs perfectly and even working in the kitchen greeting and talking with the customers. The atmosphere and and that steak and mushrooms was utterly amazing!! 🥩 🍄.. From Mama birds to this wow your leveling up amazingly. I will absolutely be back and I've already talked to a bunch of my friends about this place.
Fantastic experience and food! Bistecca is legit steakhouse in PDX. Many options of cuts. I’m a medium rare person and it was done perfectly. Wine list was great. Espresso Martini on nitro tap, wow were the good. The shared sides are great for the table to try different things. Grazie Millie!
Given Portland's other tried and true steak houses, we wanted to give this newcomer a try. Two of us ordered the NY Strip steak which came out cold. We also ordered the fillet and burger which were ok. We also ordered two salads, grilled potatoes and kale. The kale as overcooked. The salads and potatoes were good. Service was friendly. The atmosphere a bit loud and not conducive to intimate conversation.
From the moment we walked in and saw the open flames of the kitchen, I knew this meal was going to be something special but it still exceeded every expectation. We started with oysters on the half shell, easily the best oysters I’ve ever had in my life. They weren’t served with the usual lemon or hot sauce, but they didn’t need it because the natural flavors were absolutely perfect. Next came the foie gras torchon, which I honestly anticipated I wouldn’t enjoy since I’m not usually a fan of liver. To my surprise, it ended up being one of the best things I’ve ever tasted, rich, decadent, and unforgettable. We also tried the caviar and onion dip. While delicious, I felt the onion dip slightly overpowered the caviar, but it was still a creative and tasty dish. The seasonal salad of watermelon, nectarines, tomato, cucumber, and ricotta was another highlight with flavors that were fresh, bright, and beautifully balanced. For entrées, we shared the porterhouse for two and the lobster thermidor, both cooked to absolute perfection. The tableside presentation of the porterhouse was unforgettable when the chef came out, lit rosemary on fire, and seared the steak right at our table. The aroma, the showmanship, and the flavor all came together for a truly memorable experience. The sides of Italian elote and Roman beans were equally fantastic, and every cocktail was crafted with care. Definitely recommend the tiramisu as well. It was decedent and complimented our dining experience. Our server Fiona made the experience even better with her attentive service and spot-on recommendations. She suggested items we loved, including a couple of off-menu drinks that were spectacular. This was hands down the best meal I’ve ever had. You can feel the love and artistry put into every dish, with flavor pairings that surprise you in the best way, like little explosions of creativity with each bite. The combination of incredible food, excellent service, and a lively fire-lit atmosphere makes Bistecca a must-visit. I will absolutely be coming back and recommending it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.
beautiful restaurant with a nice large patio, serving fantastic food with friendly and very attentive service. Our steaks were cooked to perfection (I had the Rib Eye and it was large, easily shareable). It’s a pricey spot but worth every dollar for special occasions. The sliced potatoes were spectacular, salads on point, and scallops with mushrooms were delish. Excellent cocktails and a nice wine list too!
