   Came here after a cold powder day on the mountain and I couldn't have had better service or food. Everything was incredible and the cocktails even better. Can't wait to come back. Highlights were the bee merry cocktail, the filet, and the roasted red pepper soup.

   The food was great, but the servers were extremely pushy. We went on Valentine’s Day and I realize they were busy that day, but we were rushed to order (she said she would give us one more minute and then she needed our order). If they explained when we checked in or if a time restriction was mentioned when booking the reservation, I wouldn’t have minded. But I did not appreciate the rude way she basically told us to hurry up, after we were seated and still trying to decide.

   I had the Polenta ( cornmeal) and Shrimp. It was excellent!! My husband enjoyed the Lasagna Bolognese. It was a very enjoyable afternoon. I found the calamari too dry for my taste but my husband liked the crunchiness. I love this Bistro.

   Came to this place because every other place had 0 reservations on a Saturday. SO HAPPY this was the case. My bf and I were SO surprised to see how amazing everything was. The food was authentic, well priced, and DELICIOUS. David was a fantastic waiter! He was kind, funny, and attentive. Will be coming here on all my Big Bear trips in the future!!

   Once a year we come up to big bear for my daughters birthday and she always wants to eat here. The food here is always amazing and the staff is always so friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone that love Italian food.

   The food and service was very good! I would highly recommend going here but make sure you book a table, the restaurant is small so it fills up fast.

    Food is consistently delicious. I always make sure I get a Sweet Basil fix when we are up the mountain!
