| - Well, I am not a foodie. I am a super pickie super taster (that's a thing, look it up on Wikipedia). I don't care for many foods. I don't like meat on the bone, I don't like fish, I don't like spicy foods, and the list goes on... .I also am not a lover of a many places. Additionally, service is KING and I will frequent a place that has fair fare just because service is phenom.
In Miele's, I hit the JACKPOT.
Let me start with my personal favorite: the bread loaf. Now I had this type of bread only once before in my life... at Tony's Pizza on 59th and Olive and he would not sell me a loaf by itself, the most he would do is sell me the "pizza bread" with no sauce or cheese. Come on, Tony. Help a loaf-lover out. So the loaf.. and they have them to go. And I love them for it. Get one. Get five. They're wondrous. The ONLY suggestion I have here would be an Italian Mix of herbs on the table if you want for your oil and vinegar dip. Small preference, might be just me.
Next: I had the calzone my first trip, with a mix of rich cheeses. So melt-in-my mouth delish... just perfectly cooked. The servers were so friendly, anticipating my empty beverages. Our cups runneth over. It was a relaxing, enjoyable experience. That was first trip. I don't remember what my fiance got, but he was thrilled. That was our first trip, and we used a Restaurant.com coupon.
Second trip we got a little smarter. Since this is a smallish place (hence the name: bistro) we went a bit after the dinner hour. The weather permitted, so we picked a spot on the patio and settled in and ordered the Sicilian pizza. I know from experience (Raffaele's has been a fave since high school) that they take a good hour to cook). We enjoyed the garlic knots as an appetizer. They were good but if you're expecting a serving size like that at NYPD you're only going to get about a half dozen - although they are tastier than NYPD. I preferred the mozzarella sticks that we had previous. Nom.
We ordered our Sicilian with the white pizza toppings and salami on half. It was really good although a bit overdone. They mentioned that they had a new pizza oven and were dialing in on the done-ness of it. I think they'll get it perfect next time. I actually prefer the sauce to my other Sicilian fave (mentioned above) which is a bit too sweet for me. Some will disagree.
NOW... the icing on this cake... is the CHEESECAKE. Can we talk???? I had THE BEST... and I mean THE BEST piece of cheese cake ever in my whole entire life of all times here. It was so rich and just the right amount of sour and the consistency was so delicious ... I just inhaled it. I had my fiance go back the next day and pick me up a piece to go. They'll do it up with choco and nuts and a drizzle but I prefer mine plain. OMG I think about it every day now. My mouth is literally watering thinking about it.
So to top all of that off, we were really scared what it would cost, after all, the first time we used a coupon, and now we were paying full price. These prices are SO REASONABLE that you can't NOT go there. It's such fantastic service, they are so friendly and attentive, it's such a fantastic experience and the food is amazing. You have to go. They have us as long as they'll have us.
