We came here for a quick meal as we were able to make it right during happy hour ($5 off steaks, $2 off apps and salads). We ordered the bread, grilled Caesar salad, pomme puree, and ribeye too share. We also had a couple of cocktails. I had the Smooth Operator, which was a bourbon based drink that was well made. I did enjoy the grilled Caesar salad and their pomme puree. The steak was decent. The customer service was great and the vibe was good.

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.

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.

Had a wonderful dinner here. The food was excellent, the wine selection was thoughtfully curated, and the overall atmosphere was cozy but still elevated! Couldn’t recommend Bistecca Steakhouse more.
Service really stood out. Our server, Alex, was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu and wines, and she genuinely made the experience feel special. You can tell when someone actually cares about what they’re doing, and it shows.
Everything from start to finish felt intentional and welcoming. Definitely a place I’d come back to for both the food and the experience. Highly recommend for a date night or to celebrate special occasions with friends!

Our server was really great and attentive. It made dining here incredibly enjoyable.
I’ve always loved the area around this restaurant. I think I just personally made a wrong move on the entree, I want to return to try the fillet. My -1 star is because over half the cost of the meal was spent on a dish that I thought was just ok (the steak).
Happy hour notes:
– 3 dollar oysters
– snacks / sides are 1 dollar off
— starters —
Insalata de casa ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨
– loved all the different vegetables here
– the cheese is amazing
– you really have to get all the ingredients together
Yellowtail Crudo ⭐⭐⭐
– didn’t love the bitterness of the grapefruit, it didn’t do much to the taste to warrant it
– wouldn’t reorder but the fish was soft and if you love grapefruit get it
— sides —
Grilled mushrooms ⭐⭐✨
– too chewy for me, but good flavor
Grilled broccolini ⭐⭐⭐
– what you’d expect but a cool take because it has marinara sauce
— entrees —
❤️The burger ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
– only 10 made per evening
– worth honestly, was 48 dollars but it felt worthy of it
– tender and juicy
– loved eating it with the sauce from bistecca
Bistecca fiorentina ⭐⭐⭐✨
– just ok to me, but solid and would recommend mostly for the sauce
– one side was way too chewy for me, but one side melted – so super mixed feelings frankly
– appreciated the truffle salt
– was a good amount of steak for sure, we could easily feed several people and it cost $160
– I can’t help but think the fillet might be better
— dessert —
Zabaglione ⭐⭐⭐✨
– liked the fruits a ton
– loved the boozy taste to it
– little too saccharine to me, but totally acknowledge this is a personal issue, I noticed on yelp folks were loving this

We had our annual family holiday dinner at Bistecca this year, and it was the perfect choice. The food was incredible – everyone couldn’t stop talking about the steaks, and I totally agree (the filet was amazing). The sides were just as good, especially the sweet potato and the mushrooms.
What really made the night stand out was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and attentive, and it made the whole experience feel extra special. Huge thanks to Mo for helping us snag a last-minute reservation. We’ll definitely be back!

Below average food. Portions are small and poorly prepared. High prices ($350+) for low execution. We were encouraged to order our steaks as medium because they say they cook on the rare side. Both steaks were well done. Bland and tasteless salad.
Steak tartare was also bland and served room temperature to warm. There are so many better options. The wait staff was very nice but poorly trained, and seemed stressed out, and I mean all of them …as the manager seemed to be engaging them constantly. Overall, a subpar experience.

We had a great dinner at Bistecca. The atmosphere was warm with the open kitchen and wood fired grill. The arancini and salad were delicious, although the grilled peppers were slightly undercooked and could’ve come with more aioli. The gnocchi was pillowy and our two sides — grilled sweet potatoes and a grilled cabbage dish — hit the spot. The scallop entree was excellent, and the bistecca fiorentina was nicely cooked and had very good char grilled flavor. We also got a complimentary birthday crème brulee which was very nice! We enjoyed our drinks as well: a kolsch, glasses of rosé and a bottle of Brunello. Our server Fiona was great, checking on us at the right times and keeping the drinks and water coming. We went earlier in the evening but the kitchen was still impressive with their timing and efficiency. Would definitely recommend and plan on returning!
