Compared to other places in the same price range bistecca is below average. My son ordered a ribeye medium rare and daughter ordered a fillet medium. Ribeye came medium well so we sent it back, next one came rare. Didn't want to wait for a third so he ate that one. Daughters medium filet came med rare but she chose to keep it and avoid the trouble. I had a salmon which was not fresh at all with a fishy taste and smell. Something you might get at a cheap chain restaurant. I've been to many steak houses and never have both steaks prepared wrong. Oh, and we had to work with the staff to remove the steak we sent back from the bill, yes they changed us for both. Bye bye Bistecca... read more

Very good service, our waitress (Becky) was very very kind and easy to talk to. The food was amazing and I'm definitely going to find a time to go again. Expensive but worth it read more

Just a simple friends get together/birthday before the comedy show. We were seated in the room off the dinning room. This made us feel like celebrities. If I could give service 10 stars I would!!! Courtney was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. Also very attentive. The food was cooked to perfection. The manager even stopped to say hello. Thank you Bistecca for a wonderful evening read more

Great Steakhouse in the Old School Way Excellent knowledgeable staff, beyond outstanding food and solid well thought out wine list. Always a treat to have dinner there. read more

Really nice steakhouse located in the Meadows! I recently came here with my boyfriend and another couple and we had a wonderful experience. A great atmosphere and delicious food! Our server was fantastic! Everyone got steak but me I went with the shrimp scampi and loved it! I also got the wedge salad as a starter and it was amazing too. I'm a big fan of wedge salads so I was happy to see one on the menu. Everyone was satisfied with their steaks and they looked great. I'll def be back to try a steak. My boyfriend really enjoyed the crab bisque as well. They offer a nice wine selection which is always a plus in my book. Yes it's a steakhouse so it's a little pricy but worth the money for a great meal and atmosphere! read more

My parents, being the gambling addicts they are, are constantly getting food comp from the casinos. They decided to take my sister and I out for a nice dinner before she goes back to school (score!!). We don't do family dinners often so it was definitely a treat! The place itself is very nice but not the kind of fancy where you need to dress up in a suit or dress. It's small, but it has a nice cozy feeling. I was surprised because we had a reservation at 6 p.m. on a Saturday and there were still many tables available. Our sever was awesome. She was extremely friendly and answered all of our questions. She also was very knowledgable on the menu which helped us out since I'm not one who goes to $$$$ restaurants very often. Ha! The food is a la carte which I'm not a fan of. I always feel like it's an easy way to overcharge because usually you want something to go along with your entree. I ordered the 10 oz filet ($36) and it was amazing. I asked for it to be well done but there was still some pink in the middle. I honestly didn't even mind because it was so good. It melted in my mouth. I was actually surprised by how juicy it was considering the thickness of the meat. I also ordered the loaded baked potato ($8) which came topped with sour cream, butter, cheese and bacon. Very good but could have been a little more "loaded." I hate when potatoes are a little dry. Now, I will say, paying almost $50 for steak and a potato is a little crazy, however we didn't pay so I'm not complaining! Would I go again? Perhaps? Maybe for a special occasion (or if my parents get some more comp!). However, as much as I liked the food, I can find a place closer to Pittsburgh for an expensive steak dinner. Traveling out to the Meadows is annoying and paying over $100 on top of gas money for dinner just doesn't seem worth it. read more

This place is absolutely phenomenal. I cannot for a second fathom why it only has four stars. The steak was perfection. The sides, salad, and bread were even perfect. The steaks are clearly top tier and aged to perfection. The wait staff was friendly and the timing of the food was on point. I have ZERO complaints. An owner himself even came to our table to ask how our experience was. He noticed I was dabbing a spot on my dates jacket and asked if we could use some club soda. We drove over an hour to eat here and I plan on doing this more often. Thank you for a wonderful meal and experience. read more

I recently visited the meadows for a work outing ! We reserved a table in the back and our dinner was excellent! We had great service and even got to see frank o harris having dinner there as well! The appetizers were delicious we had scallops shrimp all kinds of things! I had the best steak I've ever eaten! Afterwards we went to the casino and had a blast! They had live music and much more! Drinks were not skimpy .. Let's say I had some fun! I'd definitely go back again!! read more

Wanted to try something new. Mistake....fish is frozen filet not fresh and it was overcooked. Fish was drowning in sauce for the Oscar topping. Brussel sprouts were over cooked and the au gratin potatoes had so much cheese the potatoes got lost. Disappointment for the price. read more

I came here because I had been wanting to try a rack of lamb dish and Bistecca is one of the few restaurants that serves it. I had the spinach salad. The bacon vinaigrette was a good pairing with the goat cheese. I ordered the rack of lamb medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was moist even down to the last bite. In my search for lamb I found that palazzo 1837 (just down the road) also served lamb, so naturally I had to try both and compare. Both restaurants are high quality and both have good settings. They actually have similar flavor profiles in some dishes. Both restaurants rack of lamb were phenomenal and I can't say one is significantly better, but if I had to choose, I would say Bistecca was better as it was cooked more evenly and came as a full rack vs half a rack at palazzo. read more

While staying at a nearby hotel and even though Bistecca has a no baseball cap policy for males over the age of 7, I decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed. I was greeted very nicely by David and I decided to not tie up a table for four so he seated me at the bar. My service at the bar was great and when I asked about an Italian wine by the glass, the bartender responded with an excellent Sangiovese. The bartender was attentive but not intrusive...perfect. I wanted to limit carbs so I ordered the 7oz fillet along with my favorite steak house side dish, creamed spinach. The fillet was prepared spot-on (Med rare) and the spinach was the best I have ever had....and that includes the Morton's, Del Friscos & Capitol grills. Regarding the prices for my items, they were very comparable, if not less than any quality steakhouse/restaurant. All kidding aside, I did appreciate the nice atmosphere inside the fine dining restaurant. Everyone was nicely dressed. Bottom line, when I return to the area, I will absolutely be back. read more

The owner replied that "gentlemen" should remove their baseball hat. Mind you this is a casino and sports venue where you can eat while watching the races at the meadows. People come in with sandals, shorts, sweatshirts, and t-shirts but you come in wearing a baseball hat then your not a "gentlemen".. very tacky. Really.. all people that wear baseball hats are not "gentlemen". Folks thats how bigots think. Note the owner didnt address their ridculous prices and their poor quality food or service. Just the hat. :-) Folks skip this one. You got unrealistic ownership that serves less than quality food and service at outrageous prices. Hat or no hat.. Pathetic ! read more

Should have been great. Girlfriend ordered Strip medium... Came out seared - Raw in middle. Mine same, but not as bad and I ordered medium rare... So I ate it. They took her raw steak back, broiled it and didn't return her sides... Wow. Abysmal service. Oh, and nothing off the bill and mediocre service at best. $200... Two people... Never again. Not worth it. Charge that much and a steak should be cooked correctly. read more

Very disability discrimination. Broke my leg 5 months ago. Still walking with a limp. Had one drink at bar waiting for our table had a white compression stocking on with a skirt. Bar tender made a mistake on our drinks, I called her out on it. Table was ready. Wasn't finished with the ONLY drink I had all day. Because of my leg had trouble getting off bar stool and a limp to the table. Ordered another drink at table and was told they couldn't serve me anything else and brought the manager over to talk to me. She said if I ate they could give me a drink. Totally humiliating. Food is only ok for the price. Management needs training. Horrible experience. Go to the Rivers Casino Steak house for good food and professionalism. David Bistecca I read your comments to me from above review I wrote. I had a terrible accident. I was actually looked upon by your bar tender as a drunk. She should not assume people with a problem walking are drunk. I was so humiliated in front of people sitting next to me when the manager came over. I have told others that have been there and they knew what bar tender I was talking about, they did not have good things to say about her. This was her fault and your problem as the owner. read more

Had a really nice experience. Mark took great care of me in the bar area as I was a single. Martini, oyster appetizer and the Sea Bass special were very well done. And the restaurant was doing a nice job of social distancing. Looking forward to a return trip soon. read more

Absolutely awesome experience every time!! Fantastic elegant steak house with amazing people/management and ownership!! We go there often with family and friends, my most recent experience was top notch. We were playing in the poker tournament HPT main event, we only get 60 min for dinner break. We decided to give it a shot and go up to Bistacca, if we eat at the bar we can be in and out in less than 60 min. We get there and the place is packed, without any reservations Emily the manager seated us, Stephanie "server" was so prompt taking our drinks and food order. The owner David brought us a round of drinks on the house wishing us good luck! The food was excellent as always, Ribeye, Fish sides and salads all within 60 min!! All I got to say THANK YOU for going above and beyond each and every time!! #1 STEAK HOUSE IN THE CITY!! read more

F First time here. Dining by myself. Service is average. Took them 20 minutes to attend after being seated. Menu choices for dinner was limited. Orders wood fired salmon.

The scallops with habanero jelly are out of this world. The shrimp cocktail was very fresh, large pieces complemented with an excellent cocktail sauce. NY Strip was tender and I also recommend the asparagus with hollandaise. read more

I flew into Pittsburgh last night for my honey's Christmas Party. We are staying in Canonsburg and he said he wanted to have a white table cloth on our dinner table and Bistecca delivered that and so much more! Our server Melissa even used a crumber! I ordered the 7 oz filet rare with the au poivre topping and he ordered the 10z filet medium rare and they were both prepared to PERFECTION! The asparagus with hollandaise was incredible, as were the sautéed spinach and mushrooms. For a starter I had the spinach salad with goat cheese which was THE BEST I've ever had and his crab bisque was outstanding. No beer on tap, but bottled is alright too.... Creme Brûlée for dessert so yummy. Staff was everywhere helping all the time for a seamless and perfect dinner service. Melissa was outstanding! read more

My mom and I stopped in to Bistecca last night for a late dinner. We did not have reservations, but they were very welcoming and able to seat us quickly. The restaurant overlooks the track and has a business causal vibe. We both ordered the 7oz filet. We started with a chopped salad dressed with a house Italian which comes along with a small bread basket (warm ciabatta and Italian). The sides are meant to be shared by two, so we each ordered one and shared. She ordered the roasted broccoli and I ordered the sweet potato casserole. The steaks were ordered medium well and were the perfect temperature, texture and flavor. The sweet potato casserole is fantastic - flavorful and not too sweet. The roasted broccoli is a big dish but was not as crispy as I hoped it would be. For dessert we split an Italian lemon/ strawberry cake that was delicious! Very light, sweet and scrumptious! To compliment a very nice restaurant, the service was also tops. Our waitress was fantastic and very attentive. We had a great experience at Bistecca! read more

No happy hour. Steaks are $30 and up. Good wine selection with option to buy tasting portions. Wanted to watch news at the bar TV when I was the only sitting there, but manager felt that only sports was appropriate. How biased is that? Females sitting at the bar never get the option to watch something that interests us. For that, I'm giving it 3 stars. Poor customer service. Does not tailor to all demographics. read more

The food was very good however very pricey. Steaks were perfectly prepared. Seafood was also very good. Waitress was point on! Thank you gor a great dinner! read more

Made a reservation on Feb 10th for dinner on the 13th. Everything was confirmed and so I booked my hotel after that knowing that we had our dinner set up already. Close to an hour later I get a call and an email saying that my reservation was cancelled. I explained my dilemma with having a room already confirmed and it was a non refundable reservation. I was told that I would be on a wait list and that they were sorry. Here are my emails I got.below in order. Your reservation is confirmed for Bistecca Thanks for using OpenTable! Table for 2 on Saturday, February 13, 2016 at 6:30 pm Confirmation #: 1476491645 ---------------------------------------------------- Then i get this one in almost an hour and after my room is booked. Dear ---, Bistecca has canceled your reservation for 2 on Saturday, February 13, 2016. If you have questions about your canceled reservation, please contact Bistecca at (724) 503-1510. Pretty unprofessional in my opinion. Especially when a customer actually books a meal reservation before he books a room. I guess i will save the money i would have spent there and gamble more. I understand mistakes can happen but i don't understand how a place like this cannot try and accommodate its patrons instead of being put on a wait list and never hearing back from anyone. read more

The decor: very nice, once you finally wind your way through the maze that is the casino floor, filled with the typical people and experiences you expect to find there, including at least 40 drunks, 300 people smoking, and someone yelling at one of the dealers. Thankfully, the restaurant is upstairs and mostly isolated from all of that through glass doors, which block out casino noise and the smoke. Inside, lush curtains, awesome booths and a beautifully crafted bar with a great liquor selection and a decent view of Washington's rolling hills. The food: Presented very prettily, but honestly, the preparations are pretty simple and nothing that a person with slightly-better-than-average cooking skills can't match or exceed. Desserts, too, were not creative, and everything was incredibly expensive and a la carte. There's nothing "signature" about Bistecca's food, start to finish. Wine/Alcohol: Great selection; easily the best in Washington. Would prefer this place to sip one or two quality drinks on Friday evening with friends instead of walking away from dinner for two with a $320 bill for a meal I could've made. read more

I tried to eat here tonight before a little craps session. I've had some good meals here in the past. Tonight I ordered the bone in NY strip with bearnaise sauce and the au gratin potatoes. Should be a simple meal. Hard to mess up. Well after a short wait, I was sitting at the bar, the server came over with a steak and potatoes. I asked her about the sauce I ordered and she insisted on checking the computer first to see if it was ordered instead of just getting it. 5 minutes later she brings me the Bearnaise. As I make a cut in the steak I realize it's a regular strip not a bone in. Pretty sad. After they take the steak away, I ask her if that's what I ordered??? She says "yes, I just rung it in wrong". 20 minutes later I get a hot steak and am expected to eat it with cold potatoes. How hard is it to get a good steak, potatoes, and sauce at one time? Steak -- $55 Cold bearnaise -- $3 Cold Potatoes -- $8 Miserable dinner--- priceless Should have went to the cafe downstairs. read more

Bistecca started off well enough, but seems to be in a bit of a downward slide now. My first meal here was fantastic -- great filet, delicious cognac cream sauce, and good potatoes gratin. However, with each additional visit (I've been there about 6 times now), both the service and the food has either been bad or just okay. There's one particular waitress -- a blonde, middle-age woman -- who my whole table thought was on drugs. That night, we were seated at a table so dark, we couldn't see our menus. We asked if we could get another candle or something and she said "I'll see." We noticed all the other tables were pulled away from the wall more, so that a ceiling light was shining on the table, but for some reason, ours was not? She continued to be inept (giving totally incorrect information about wine), and generally just a poor, inattentive waitress. She forgot my steak sauce, and then we watched and waited as she disappeared into the kitchen for several minutes. She came out carrying my sauce, but stopped for a leisurely 8-minute chat with gentlemen at another table she seemed quite friendly with. By the time I got my sauce, it was cold. My steak was overdone, too! With each subsequent visit, things have just not been on par for the price. If you're gonna charge Ruth's Chris and Morton's prices, I should never pull hair out of my bisque, or big chunks of shell out of the crab cocktail, or wait, wait, wait and wonder where the server has disappeared to (again). The steaks are alright, but they're not the same quality of the aforementioned steakhouses! Overall, I will probably go again, when I don't feel like driving to Pittsburgh, but for the first time, I'll branch out and try some gnocchi or anything other than steak at a steakhouse. It's just not worth it at bistecca! If they could train their servers and kitchen staff more so that the experience and quality was *consistent*, I'd go back often. Step it up, guys! Please. Having a solid steakhouse in washpa would be wonderful. read more

great food. i asked for my steak medium well and when i cut in, it was very pink. the waitress had problem taking it back. the sides were plenty big enough for sharing. we got the fries and they were very good. the dessert was so good and full of flavor. great atmosphere for the price. read more

A friend and I checked out Bistecca for the first time last night and we were so pleased that we did. It was a phenomenal experience from beginning to end. The service was exceptional. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxing. The food was divine. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure our visit was special. read more

The Bistecca is a very good restaurant and the quality of the food is superior to most. Yes it is a little pricey but you get what you pay for. I have come to this restaurant since it opened and we love it. As far as the hat rule it's a respect and manners thing not a dress code. Think back to your mamas did she allow you to come to the table with a hat on?? no!!! Unless your all a bunch of hooligans. And to bad mouth a restaurant because of such rule is just childish. The restaurant speaks for its self I rate it up there with Morton's, capital grille, grande Concourse. And all the other fine dinning restaurant in the Pittsburgh and south hills area. read more

Our experience with Bistecca started Monday, when we tried to go to the cigar bar, only to find it closed. However, the host John saw us trying to enter, and went out of his way to get us some cigars even after they were closed. We made a reservation for Tuesday. Katie was our server, and she was attentive while still giving us space. The food was everything you would hope for from a steakhouse: creamy mashed potatoes, delicious, thick steaks, and rich sauces. We would highly recommend Bistecca. read more

So good! We went with reservations but didn't need them since it was right when the restaurant opened. Started with a wedge salad and my husband got the soup of the day, loaded potato. I love myself a wedge salad, and this one did not disappoint. The filet just melted, the roasted broccoli was cooked perfectly, and the au gratin potatoes had just the right amount of everything and were delicious. Our service was great and quick, our reservation was for 5:30 and we were in our car at 6:28! We cannot wait to visit again for another special occasion. read more

OUTSTANDING food and service for my birthday meal! Bistecca really knows how to treat loyal customers (we like to treat ourselves to Bistecca every couple of months or so). I felt like I was spending my birthday with family. From the moment the restaurant manager David held the door open to welcome us by name until we said farewell, the evening was superior. Our server, Rebecca, remembered our drink orders, including the new wine I had tried the last time we visited. While she got our drinks, she offered to put in an order for our favorite appetizer, prosciutto wrapped pan-fried mozzarella (delish!). She knew our favorites on the menu and made a great recommendation for a plate to share with the table. Our daughter, whom we don't typically bring with us to Bistecca, kept remarking how everyone seemed to know us and couldn't stop talking about how nice everyone was. Our favorite steaks (3 filet, plain 7 oz for daughter, 7 oz Neil topped for mine and 10 oz with habenero jelly for husband) were prepared perfectly (mine medium, daughter and hubby medium-well). We never once had to ask for more water, bread or drinks. Rebecca is so warm and friendly and so good at her job that you barely notice she's filling your water as she's chatting with you. Leslie, the general manager, not only greeted us by name when we first sat at our table, she also stopped by the table near the end of our meal to wish me a happy birthday and to chat a bit. While I'm not typically big on celebrating my birthday, I really enjoyed having such a wonderful meal and experience at Bistecca. Oh, and we were so very thankful for the birthday treats at the end of the meal! Kudos, to David and Leslie for running a top notch operation and to Rebecca our server for always making us feel welcome and special. And to the chef for the amazing meals! read more

Excellent dinner and service. Toni was our server and she was spot on with her recommendation for the appetizer and Cowboy Ribeye. First, we enjoyed the crab bisque. It had a deep, rich crab flavor. Out Cowboy Ribeye was cooked to perfection with a sear that bordered on char- but not quite. The horseradish sauce for the steak was amazing. Not to be outdone by the shoestring French fries. Amazing start to a great night. read more

Was there recently. Ordered Scallops (appetizer) and it took forever. Seabass was good but crab cakes were ok. Overall I would just say ok. Service was good for most part but no one cared about the appetizer being late despite us pointing out to the manager. read more

If I could give a negative 1 review I would. I called the restaurant asking if I could have a table outside for three, they said no problem. After we arrive they say no outside seating. No big deal we sit inside. Our waiter would rush us to order drinks as well as our meal. We had to ask for our side dish that was never brought to the table but ordered. To make matters worse our steaks were not seasoned and tough as rubber. The baked potato was also horrid as well. The restaurant does not have staff to fill your drinks . Spent almost 300.00 for terrible meal and bad service. Called and manager and he did not say anything except the owner will call you. By the way never received his call . Worst meal I have had in a long time. read more

Went on a Wednesday night late, after 830pm. It was nearly empty but i was treated with a lot of attention and found my table staff of Rebecca, Melissa and Anna to be delightful. Friendly, engaging, pleasant and knowledgeable. Most importantly, genuine. They seemed like old friends catching up or new friends wanting to know more about you. That Anna is a gem, so full of energy and spunk, she never stopped moving. Give her a raise. The food, and this is a steak house so you'd want to order steak, was delicious. I had a blue cheese/mushroom steak with a side of creamed spinach. That doesn't sound very sexy but that creamed spinach was amazing and a perfect compliment for the steak. They have an expansive wine list that i studied but opted for water. A lot of very nice selections to pair with a steak. Oh, when i came in they had a night time drama or something on TV, i asked and they immediately put on the NHL playoffs and put me at a table where i could see the game. It's those little things that stick with a person and make them want to come back. read more
