Holy moly! I always wondered why the place was always packed! Now I understand. The food was amazing and the place is actually really spacious, from the looks of the outside it seems small and parking sucks but the spot and bar and customer service is always working hard and amazing! Ambiance was sweet, came for our holiday party!

I dined here yesterday with 6 friends. The food was delicious, the servers were very attentive and the ambiance was beautiful. Lovely, soft, music played throughout the meal. I ordered off the Prix fixed menu and had a flavorful "Grandma's Meatballs" as an appetizer, boneless Chicken Scarpariello with roasted potatoes and vegetables as my entree and a three piece dessert sampler including a taste of cheesecake, brownie and a Cannoli. All were delicious, as was the lightly toasted garlic bread, Italian bread, and bruschetta with dipping oil and salami. I highly recommend Eric's Italian Bistro.

Great restaurant! Food and service was so awesome when I went in for lunch, that I had to come back the next night and do the full dinner experience. Food was simply amazing. If you are looking for a place to go out to since Covid, this is it. They are also set-up for safe dining inside and out.

Absolutely PERFECT meal. From beginning to end. We started with the baked classic which were so tasty then she had shrimp scampi and I had a steak. As you can see from the picture, I cleaned my plate. We got a side of broccoli and it was delicious. And then the brownie thing for dessert. Mmmmmm. To die for. The service was amazing and the staff couldn't be nicer. George treated us like family. We will be back VERY soon.

We came here for a Thanksgiving lunch as a party of 10. From the beginning we were treated with excellent customer service. We spoke with Frank, the owner, on several occasions as he checked on how we were doing. The chef personally came out to discuss an allergy we had at our table. Our waiter, Santiago, was very attentive throughout our meal. Tjey offers a special Thanksgiving menu and a modified a la carte menu. The food was excellent, and served in a timely manner. After this experience we will definitely return to sample their full menu.

I’ve always hated five star reviews because this seems to be something disingenuous about it. This case, their Christmas dinner to be one of the best produced children’s/Santa parties I’ve ever seen. This is something I will come back every year and other holiday events I will come to. They thought up Every detail like even writing hand notes to the kids upon your reservation. The amount of details they put into this based on the dollar value. It was well worth it.

Purchased a Groupon deal and this family owned bistro didn’t disappoint. The owner and staff are extremely pleasant and gave us the true sense of “Home” meal. We felt so relaxed even on a busy Saturday dinner service. I’m thoroughly impressed with how everything was prepared to perfection and definitely will be back soon.
