22/04/2026: My partner and I went to Bisteak for a dinner that, more than just a simple outing, felt like a scene inside a dance studio painted by Edgar Degas: soft lighting, everyday movements, and that suspended atmosphere of a rehearsal room, where the dancers still move between imperfection and grace.
The evening opened like a well-executed choreography: a simple but successful appetizer, followed by two convincing main courses. The Milanese cutlet was good, as was the tagliata, both solid and well-executed, like the main steps of a dance that holds the stage. Completing the scene were two side dishes: the focaccia with prosciutto and mozzarella, soft and harmonious, like a gesture repeated in the rehearsal room until it becomes natural, and the pan-fried chicory, along with the thinly sliced French fries, both very good, small lateral movements but perfectly integrated into the choreography.
The service, as often happens in rehearsal rooms, wasn't perfectly timed, but it was certainly human and pleasant: the waiters were friendly, pleasant, and helpful, with that attitude that puts you at ease even when the rhythm of the room isn't yet fully balanced. More than a flaw, it was a slight timing discrepancy in an otherwise welcoming dance.
The dessert, the wild berry millefeuille, was the most poetic and slightly ironic moment of the choreography: it was drizzled with wild berry syrup, without actual pieces of fruit and without the expected layering, like a simplified finale compared to the imagined show. However, it was fresh, the cream was good, and so even the final gesture remained sweet, even if less theatrical.
We spent around €40 per person without alcohol: an average amount for an evening that felt more like a ballet rehearsal than a fully finished performance.
In short, we had a good time: a tender and slightly ironic painting by Degas, where the dance is there, you can feel it, even if some steps are still being settled in, and this is precisely what makes it curiously authentic.
19/04/2026: We've been coming here for many years for the excellent kebab roll (17€). We've been disappointed by the prices of other items:
16€ for a liter of white wine on tap, of average quality.
19€ for a hamburger
8€ for a small bowl of strawberries with two mini-scoops of ice cream, which, to be honest, is of mediocre quality.
