We came here for a private party. The staff was awesome and very attentive. I have Celiac Disease and must eat gluten free and I am also Pescatarian… they knowledgeable and able to give me a great meal. I want to come here again for a date night and would highly recommend for a private event.

We weren’t very impressed with the food quality here. The bread was okay. The bruschetta we probably could’ve made better ourselves–not craveworthy.
That said, servers were nice, and it’s also nice to have a sit down option in Camarillo.

Giovanni greats all of the customers, and his description of the specials illustrates how passionate he is about his food and his restaurant. The salmon was amazing.

Wonderful restaurant Food was delicious. The wine list very good too. House-made bread and really high quality butter. We had an appetizer (meatballs), two main courses (gnocchi and Australian barramundi), and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was great. I can see why this place has been here for 20 years – it is awesome and very much loved by the locals. Megan (hostess/server) was great. We got to meet with and talk to Giovanni, the owner. Loved it all here. Wished we lived closer! I’d be a regular ❤

This place was great! I had the gnocchi with Salchicca sauce and my friend had the tuna special. It was perfect and we both enjoyed our meals. It’s a cute little local place and the service was top notch. I felt so welcome from the moment I walked in to the moment I left.

Apparently this local Italian diamond has been around for a couple of years (53 between this and prior locations) and it shows! Giovanni and his staff are amazing and the food is there to match. I jumped right in to the food when it got to me so no pics. But the bar is awesome and the coffee is great. Worth the time to check out if you haven’t been and the return trip if you have.

3% service fee for using a credit card. Not cool. Service was very good though.

We were originally headed somewhere else but couldn’t timely be accommodated for six. Nothing against that other place. Open Table found Bistro 13 with a quick seating time for our group. Check. Reviews were all excellent. Check.
From the time we were walked in we were treated like we had been frequenting the restaurant for years. Seated in 30 seconds, water filled, ambience quiet with Italian-style mood music, dim lighting, very friendly and competent staff. Everyone seemed like they had worked there for years and showed passion for the food. Very non intrusive, too – kept appropriate space to allow for personal conversations while working quietly around us- filling drinks without having to ask, clearing used dishes, etc. Check.
The food. Wow. Everything we had got shared because we had to experience the reactions each were having. Best marinara sauce any of us had ever had. No contest. Pasta cooked perfectly. There simply were no favorites because everything was excellent! Even the desserts were amazing and clearly not from Sysco like so many other places with the same out-of-the-box options. Check.
Walking to the car we decided that this was our best Camarillo restaurant experience, hands down. My dad said it was his best experience, ever. It simply checked every box. Shall we say, we will be coming back here as often as possible from now on. Congratulations team Bistro 13!
