    Tunno salad and Chopped Greek Salad
    Kourtney E.

    Quality, service, selection -- all 5 stars! Worth the wait during a busy lunch hour. Super cute bistro, prices a little high but you get what you pay for!

    Triple Layer Mousse
    Elias G.

    Food was great! We popped in because it was one of the few places around that could accommodate our large party on short notice. Among us we got the eggplant parm, tuscan bean soup, adriatic salad, and chicken alfredo, as well as the triple layer mousse and chocolate decadence. The eggplant parm was quite good, as were all the dishes. The tuscan soup was full of vegetables and beans, and the chicken in the pasta and on one of the salads were juicy and tender. The alfredo was "the best alfredo I've had", more akin to a traditional Pasta con Burro e Parmigiano (cheesy butter sauce). Both desserts were yummy as well, with the mousse being light and the chocolate decadence being nicely fudgey. Service was also very friendly and welcoming. If I'm in town again, I'll be sure to come back!

    states  "open" on their door & website yet walk-through to counter 40 minutes before advertised close,  they turn you away.

    Second time in a short period that I have arrived prior to closing and they turn you away at this. Even though all the lights are on and the doors are open and they're not supposed to close for 45 minutes according to their own website. And they're honestly kind of snarky about it.

    Bonelli's Homemade Lasagna
    Alisha L.

    Bonelli's Bistro is now open for dinner and definitely worth a visit! The menu is limited, but every dish we tried was delicious. I had the lasagna--flavor was amazing, though just a touch heavy on the sauce. The bistro is right on 1st Street and has outdoor seating for warmer days, which I can't wait to enjoy. The owner personally welcomed us and checked in several times, which made the experience feel extra warm and genuine. We arrived right at 5:00 when the doors opened after lunch break, and by the time we left, the place was buzzing and full. Sweet ambiance, great food, and friendly service--Kalispell is lucky to have this gem back open in the evenings!

    Great tasting food with an impressive and diverse menu selection. The wine list offers many excellent options to pair with your meal. Service was warm and welcoming--staff went out of their way to assist with vegetarian choices, which was greatly appreciated. The restaurant is tucked away in a great location and offers both indoor and outdoor dining, making for a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Plenty of parking available as well. Highly recommended.

    Pollo Pesto Panino and Tuscan Turkey Club Panino
    Brighton D.

    Food was great! I had the Pollo Pesto Sandwich with a Caesar salad and a bottle of root beer! My husband had Turkey Bacon Club and house salad with a local can of montana sparkling orange water. It was a beautiful day to sit and eat on the patio and enjoy a refreshing meal!

    Nice little bistro tucked away a block off Main Street Kalispell. Order at the counter and take a number style service. It bills itself as Italian, but didn't seem to have a lot of Italian dishes. Friendly service. $3 Coffee...I came at around 3pm, so the coffee wasn't quite as hot as I would've liked, but good enough. $15 Chicken Pesto Panino...Roasted chicken breast, sundried cherry tomatoes, pesto, Italian aioli, provolone in a nicely toasted baguette. It tasted exactly you would expect. It came with a Green Goddess Soup was hot, green, light and flavorful. Not sure what was in it, but I think it was healthy and perfect when its less than 20 degrees outside. Seemed a tad bit pricy, but that's how everything seems in 2022.

    The line moves a little slow, but the outdoor seating is wonderful. Charming little spot to grab coffee, pastries or a salad and laugh with friends. TRY THE RANCH WATER!!! it is some magical adult beverage. Refreshing and delicious. We got the Greek salad, the caprese salad and the turkey wrap. Time, love and attention and put in to each dish. Street parking only, but worth walking a few blocks for.

    The customer service here was very passive aggressive with extremely overpriced mediocre food. I'd never recommend this place.

Service was exceptional. Between two choices, the waitress suggested the Gnocchi Rose, and it came out bubbling. It was delicious, and did not disappoint. I almost forgot to mention that they serve warm bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was to die for. The place is really cute on the inside and perfect for a date. I had come from hiking, and it was empty with no apparent dress code. I also had a tiramisu which was a bit small but still delicious. The prices aren't terrible and the food is incredible. I would come back here, and the owner is Italian which I guessed by the quality of the food.

    The spaghetti here is very good. Even my picky relative ate all of hers. The service was ok. The…read morewaiter didn't know which beers were on tap or where they were from because they didn't drink, but it seemed odd that they didn't know that for the customer base. It felt a little like we were bugging them to ask about it them. The restaurant definitely feels like it used to be a Perkins or Elmer's or other sort of diner. They've tried to level up with linen tablecloths and napkins, Italian music and a color scheme. It's workable. The pricing is a little higher than what you would expect given the environment but the food was decent. I have one complaint - they serve sliced white bread - like wonder bread - in a basket with oil and vinegar. It just doesn't match the vibe or flavors or textures you would expect. As a sourdough baker this felt lacking. Otherwise kudos. I've heard nothing but good things from friends in the area too.

I would take one anytime. We bought a bottle to take home. The cinnamon and apple notes was one of a kind fall flavors all around. I was even offered a free Bag of chips. Great cook! The small homey Feel is Nice comforting makes one want to relax.. I like the copper bar. Negatives; Ordered 1 drink .I was the only order. She forgot I told her a second time. She pulled glasses down and again forgot why. She is a nice girl The bartender wore an extremely tight cropped top cut down the middle. with her chest hanging out. Filtering with my date. Even saying I put lipstick on to get free drinks. She made me insecure, uncomfortable and being on a First date set the stage For me to act sexual to get his attention away from the flirty bartender. Yea she is cute sure she is an amazing. If you want female client please have them Do there job not giving men a Show. I would 100% recommend! go for the drinks and burgers if You are looking for A crafted spirit they hot the bar. Or flirty bartender
