Our strong commitment to make a distinctive offer of excellence available has been validated by our customers with consistent 5-star reviews on Google and TripAdvisor. The food offer is inspired by the fascinating Western and Eastern Mediterranean culinary traditions-French, Greek, Italian, Macedonian and Spanish. For instance, our pizza is made of "Green" dough (antioxidants, minerals and vitamins infused) in a brick oven according to a recipe older than one century. We also offer authentic appetizers, tapas, flat breads, salads and iconic mains from the multicultural heritage of the Mediterranean civilization. For a more refined and sophisticated experience, our meals are accompanied by selected, elegant and affordable wines including Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, and others. The symphony of flavors of our food and wine is complemented by the inviting interior of wood and stone, informal seating arrangements, arts and warm atmosphere.

    The atmosphere is delightful. It’s a mix of old world marble museum with modern comforts and flair. The staff is knowledgeable without being pretentious. Hanan was our server, and she was the perfect mix of knowledgeable, sought help when needed (wine pairings), and the right amount of attentive without hovering. The food was an amazing experience with every bite, and our wine pairing was perfect. Try the yellowfin tuna tartare with the Chablis, and the risotto with the Paul Jaboulet Aîné Syrah. The nose on the wine was worth every dollar, especially after it had aired out a bit. I wish I could afford to come here every month!

    I recently dined with couple of friends at Bistro Ristoro and was absolutely blown away by the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and excellent customer service. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with a pleasant mix of traditional and modern decor. Now, let's talk about the food—wow! Every dish we ordered was a culinary masterpiece. The chicken marsala was creamy and perfectly seasoned, the shrimps were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the plieskavitza was cooked to perfection. Each bite was bursting with authentic Mediterranean flavors that transported me straight to the Mediterranean coast. What really stood out was the staff's attention to detail and genuine hospitality. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. They were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that our glasses were always full and that we had everything we needed. Overall, Bistro Ristoro exceeded my expectations in every way. If you're looking for a place with great food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is it. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings! Biljana
