i've been to this establishment twice..first time was a decent experience, second time sent me directly to the hospital. I got food posioning from their garlic soup and pizza..this was confirmed by a Doctor of Medicine at the UCI hostpital. Everyone at my table that day got the same thing so this leads me to believe my food was tampered with since myself and the server exchanged some words when it took her 25 minutes to take our order. IF YOU WANT TO BE KNEES DOWN IN FRONT OF A TOILET FOR 5 HOURS YOU SHOULD EAT AT BISTANGOS RESTURANTE. be careful.

Pros: good ambience, good general manager

Cons: awful service, sickening food.

Where do I start? This place has great food, but they severely lack in good service. Everybody is incredibly snobbish - from the hostess, to the waiters, to the manager. What ever happened to good service? Don't they know that word of mouth can make or break a business? Why are these people so indifferent? Get off your high horses and give people what they are paying for.

The food here is SOO amazing! I can easily call it my favorite restaurant. The service was nice and I loved the live band.

Pros: amazing food and ambience

The only reason I am even giving this establishment one star is purely for the fact that they have good food. Minus that fact, I would not give any recommendations for this restaurant. I held an event in December of 2007 and it was a large event costing $11,000+. Below is a list of my grievances. I will NEVER have an event here again. The appetizers were late and I had to repeatedly ask the staff where the food was. Communication was horrible. The manager, Bill, was rude and dismissive. I waited for an hour and 20 minutes to get the bill and it was still not ready. I wrote a letter expressing my dissatisfaction and it was never even acknowledged. This restaurant was highly recommended to me and I expected a much higher level of service.

Pros: Great food

Cons: Terrible service

Food is reasonably good but Staff is very rude and pretentious. Our waitress was gone for half an hour, then came back and said she was on break but didn't assign another server to our table. Served drink glass with large break in it. To go food was left cold on bar rather than under heater. Employess and management are very rude and snotty to guests. Not recomended!

Pros: Free Parking

Cons: Inattentive Staff

My fiance and I celebrate every occasion imaginable at Bistango. The first and foremost reason for this is that the food and service at Bistangos is reliable: You know that when you go to Bistangos, you will get great tasting food and service. The waiters are very very nice and knowledgable of the menu. Their garlic soup is delicious. The venison is tasty too. The atmosphere is romantic, and the music is great too.

Finally a restaurant that doesnt gouge its costomers.The food is phenomenol, the wine list is superb, and the service is outstanding. No better place. If you're a first timer, you can't go wrong with the venison cooked to perfection and the best chocolate souffle in OC.

Even though the front desk was snooty, we will return and just ignore the front desk.

Pros: Food, Service

Cons: Location, Front Desk
