    We took a party of five. We had ricotta pancakes, which were delicious. The serving size was small. We also had a side of bacon. One guest had the lox and bagels which he enjoyed. A second guest thoroughly enjoyed the tuna out. Our third guest had the cappellini Pomodoro, which would lacked flavor. Overall, our guests were satisfied. The ambience and service was excellent as always.

    Great service. Noisy ambiance. My husband loved his chicken Parmesan. I loved ceasar salad. Didn’t love seafood pasta that I shared with friend. When we go back I’ll order something else

    We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Backstreet Bistro. We were greeted like VIPs and continued to be treated that way for the entire evening by any that visited our table from the restaurant staff. The Caesar Salad was exceptional and all pasta entrees are craveable. Can't wait to re turn!
