BISTECCA (V) In house dry aged steak, rosti, rocket, reggiano, Cabernet Sauvignon jus served medium rare I love a good steak, and the chef absolutely blitzed this to perfection.... We also had the Spatchcock Chicken must have been a lunch special. I had a couple of Mezcalitas....... wow, spiced to perfection.
