Severely blackened chicken parmesan.
Paul S.

After hearing great things about Bistro 424, we tried it for the first time, and our party of four ranged from happy to extremely dissatisfied. It was cold by Florida standards, so we sat inside at a high-top table, where the cheap industrial metal stools need to be replaced with something more comfortable. We ordered dinner with very mixed results: Cobb salad: The fried shallots were beautiful, nice balance of ingredients. (Happiness) Crab stuffed mahi: Another hit. Pistachio crusted salmon. Meh- wouldn't order again. Chicken parmesan. An absolute disaster. The chicken was so severely overcooked to be inedible. The bread crumb crust was blackened to the point of being a solid, impenetrable shield. Had to search out the server to get her attention, and sent the meal back. She asked if I wanted something else, but I asked for another chicken parm cooked properly. It took a while, and I got another try at the chicken - still overcooked, still blackened, but this attempt was somewhat edible. I am not a fussy diner. I rarely send food back to the kitchen. On the rare occasion I have a problem and send something back, someone from the management team wanders by and inquires about the dining experience. That didn't happen at Bistro 424, leaving this review space as the only way to inform management of the significant problems in the kitchen. Final rating: two stars. Some of the food is excellent, but there are severe quality control issues when inedible food is allowed to leave the kitchen. Your experience will vary.

Bistro 424 is quickly becoming one of our favorite casual dining spots near home. I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal or drink here--and that says a lot considering we're currently here for the second time in three days. The servers are always attentive and friendly, and even when the restaurant is busy, the kitchen is clearly well run. Food comes out fresh and in a timely manner every single visit. Most recently, I tried the scampi special and WOW--soooo good. The sauce was absolutely to die for, so much so that I came back and asked if they could make it into a full meal (zero regrets). Other menu favorites for me are the poke appetizer, the meatballs, and the pizzas, which are truly chef's kiss every time. If you're looking for a consistently great meal, solid drinks, and a relaxed but quality dining experience in New Smyrna, Bistro 424 is a must. We'll definitely keep coming back.

Tuesday is Happy Hour Time 3-6 pm enjoying a delicious house martini

I visited Bistro 424 for the first time on Tuesday with a few girlfriends, and we had such a nice experience! The atmosphere was lively and a little loud, but still really enjoyable. We ordered a couple of appetizers to share, and my absolute favorite was the she-crab--it was delicious! Good customer services. The food overall was amazing, and we really enjoyed our time there. Such a nice spot for a girls' night out. I'll definitely be back!

Weekend Special 11/14/25: The Soppressata Pizza

Dined in at Bistro once before, and it was great. So we thought we'd give the pizza kitchen a try for takeout and it did not disappoint. This mildly spicy Italian meat lovers pizza (The Soppressata Pizza) should be a mainstay on the menu. Lucky enough to catch it on the Weekend Specials Menu. We were helped right when we walked in and two other employees at the take out counter made sure we were taken care of even on a busy Friday night. Thanks!

Tucked in Venetian bay, bistro 424 is kind of hard to find but well worth it for the trip Full bar so started off with my ketel 1 dirty martini and candyce had her chardonnay. Done pretty good. When the rest of the group showed up appetizer was bruschetta which was really good. Bread had the crusty style crust but center was soft and chewy. Complimentary rolls were brought out and they were fantastic Main course for me was mahi stuffed with crabcakes with side veggies. Kitchen had mine with green beans but the waiter remembered I wanted spring veggies and brought those out. Waiter did a great job with everyone. The mahi filet was thick and done great. Candyce had the chicken piccata and she really enjoyed it. All around good service, good food and reasonable prices. Great place just out of the way. One of those hidden gems

This place just keeps getting better!…read more Last night Karen and I went to The Grille fir a quick local bite. We have been many times and we live the vibe, eay to kick back and enjoy a great meal. Anthony started by expressing the night's features. But I would not be distracted. I was going for the Veal Saltimbocca. Karen switched up and fid not ho for her normal Chicken Marsala and instead ordered the Pesto Bucatini with Burrata with added grilled chicken. We started eating prior to my getting pics, sorry. My Saltimbocca was flawless and I will be finishing Karen's meal for lunch! My compliments to my brother from another mother. You nailed this service!

I've been coming here for years and I'm so glad after an ownership change it remains one of my…read morefavorites in the area. The service here has always been outstanding and that continues and what can I say about the kitchen, Chef Pete continues to knock it out of the ballpark, his soups are the best in the area no matter which one is on the menu they all are a must try. The menu has changed a little over the years but there are still plenty originals that remain today, I've enjoyed so many it would be difficult to pick a favorite. If your looking for a great cocktail or a cold beer the bar is always a great place to start - the live music creates a wonderful atmosphere and is always entertaining. It's great to see a local restaurant that always delivers a great experience and is supported by the community. If you haven't given them a try you're missing out The Grille never disappoints...

We went to Ciao Bella for dinner and we had an amazing experience…read more We came into the restroom which had a great atmosphere and ambiance. It was all decorated up for Easter Sunday which is tomorrow. The serves was great, we were greeted right away and sat right away. They filled our waters and brought us the bread to start and gave us time to look at the menu. We started with fried ravioli, pear and Gorgonzola salad, and the the glazed Brussels sprouts. The salad was a little small for the price but the taste was great! The Brussel sprouts were delicious and well glazed. Then the fried ravioli were really good filled with a mix of cheese that was delicious and a side of marinara. They were all great and were great to share! Then for the mains we ordered the Gnocchi, gnocchi with Alfredo sauce and were cooked perfectly! Both sauces were delicious and tasted like they were made in house. I ordered the pasta allá puttanesca and it was great. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly and it had two types of olives and crushed tomatoes and was perfect. Then other people ordered a BBQ chicken pizza and the capricciosa pizza which were both great. We tried the tiramisu to finish off the dinner and it was some great desert. It was definitely made in house and was delicious. The service was great as it was very busy and the staff handled all of our needs and flipped tables very quickly around us. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great Italian meal.

Had a reservation for Sunday night at 6:30. We arrived and our table was ready!…read more We were sat and it was quite busy. There was a power outage in the area so all the locals were out to find dinner. Servers running around, and a guy who looked like the owner, came in with groceries and was later handing out dishes. Our server came by and said they'd bring our choice of water right out- tap, sparkling, bottled still, and grab our drink order. I asked for the house Chianti. It was really good and only $8, so I thought man, for $8, I will have another glass. Ha! When the bill came, they charged me $28! Apparently they were not serving me the house Chianti or they rang me up wrong. I don't know but that was a big surprise. We started with the fried calamari, burrata, meatballs, Cesar salad and octopus. They did not have the octopus carpaccio on the menu but they had a grilled octopus so we said we would try it. It was a bit chewy- I've had way more tender at other places. It could also use some char marks. The meatballs were small and although the menu said served with ricotta and Parmesan- the amount of cheese on top was sad. The meatballs were good and the marinara sauce is delicious. The Cesar salad was awesome. I loved the croutons and the side of anchovies. It was perfectly dressed and not too much cheese. The burrata was delicious; a little pesto on top with a lot of arugula and a huge heirloom tomato. The calamari was pretty standard. My husband said the calamari was too chewy and he did not enjoy the octopus texture at all- leaving his chewed bite in a napkin. My folks seemed to not care. The bread they serve with the oil and balsamic is delicious. It came out hot from the oven. Wow. I had the lasagna- it's a small serving but I was already full. I took a couple bites. It was good. I like their bolognese sauce. We had the three specials- the lobster and seafood fra diavolo, the red snapper and Shrimp on linguini with the white wine tomato sauce, the tomahawk veal chop Parmesan w linguini. Everything was so good. The snapper was a large portion- looked like only 2 shrimp but there were 3-4 more underneath the fish. It was a light cream sauce. Very good. The tomahawk veal was enormous. You can't tell by the pic because the plate is a huge platter. They said it is 16oz but to me it looked like 38oz. It was really good. The lobster fra diavolo they made not spicy for my mom which is amazing because they were so busy and they really don't take custom orders. But she was very happy with the not spicy sauce. The lobster I was afraid would be overcooked because I feel like everywhere overcooks them, but this place did not! It was tender and not chewy. So all our entrees came out perfect. The owner was around- he's the one who brought me salt and he brought some of our appetizers. He was very helpful. For dessert I had to have the cannoli. They fill them fresh, I know it because the shell was so crispy. We also had 3 martini specials- the key lime pie martini, the pistachio martini and the tiramisu martini. All were good. The key lime was different than most restaurants - more tart and less thick. The tiramisu martini was everyone's favorite. Because of that, we got the tiramisu cake to go! It's circular and not from a sheet cake. It's very pretty and tasted really good. We got one bite before we bagged it up. Our server did a great job. She was pretty new. We told her what we loved, including the bread- and she went and bagged some up for us to go! Wow! Great service. My only complaint is the mix up on the wine. The house Chianti is what I ordered. I may or may not have gotten that, but I was definitely charged for something else. I expected $16 and instead it was $28. I probably should have complained but we otherwise had a good time. I will mention it the next time I go there.

This is a must visit for our family every annual visit to NSB! Best Italian outside of Italy!read more

The worst restaurant meal I've ever had…read more The chicken soup tasted like canned chicken soup--because it may very well have been. It even had the unmistakable chunks of canned chicken, and to make matters worse, it arrived barely warm. The salad was somehow even more offensive. The lettuce had brown discoloration, and the croutons were so stale they could probably have been used as construction materials. My spaghetti was watery, the noodles were barely cooked, and the sauce tasted exactly like Ragu. My friend ordered the pizza and managed only one slice. The crust was excessively doughy, the pizza was overly salty, and the cheese had the texture of rubber. The bread was laughable: no garlic, no oil, no seasoning--just premade rolls that appeared to have been heated and served with some of the smallest butter containers known to mankind. The restaurant also needed a serious cleaning. The ceiling was disgusting, and the wall decorations were covered in dust. To be fair, our server was great. Unfortunately, there's only so much a good server can do when the kitchen is producing food this bad. Everyone at our table left plenty of food behind, and we threw the leftovers in the garbage outside. I felt sick to my stomach for the entire ride home. The prices were completely unjustified, and the restaurant gave the impression of relying on tourists who may never return. If you think I'm exaggerating, read the other reviews. This place has clearly perfected the art of turning simple food into a full-scale culinary disaster.
