5 /5 Fi Squire: I wanted to share a fantastic experience we had for our Christmas lunch. By pure luck, I found Il Bistro a family-run restaurant that’s been around for over 60 years. Even though they don’t usually open for weekday lunches, they opened just for us, which shows how accommodating they are.
Abe, the owner, was absolutely wonderful and made us feel so welcome. The staff were attentive, and the food was exceptional and nothing like the bulk-prepared meals you get served in these big hotels or pubs. We had the choice of a two- or three-course meal (I went for three, of course!), and it was reasonably priced and delicious.
This is a place I’ll definitely return to. It’s also great to support a family-run business rather than a corporate chain. If you go, you must try their homemade limoncello. I highly recommend the limoncello martini as I had a few, lol! And if you buy a bottle of, try making a limoncello Spritz.
Do yourself a favour and visit Il Bistro as you won’t regret it.
