    David is the best restaurant manager on the planet. He made our night extra special! If you want to have an amazing experience at an amazing restaurant, come to Pistola and make sure David is here.

    This sleek Italian restaurant pays homage to the 1950s, NYC-Style Italian steakhouses. Their dry-aged steaks are charred and cooked to perfection and they also excel in their freshly-made pastas. Read more

    First, this place is gorgeous! Super classy. The meatballs and rigatoni alla vodka were both fantastic. And you can't go wrong with a steak (we had the Delmonico).

    Their aged beef is very good and cooked perfectly every time. Be sure to try their meatballs because they are a must try. I guarantee you will agree.

    Pasta was awesome. Had the alla vodka. It was unique and full of flavor. Pasta was perfectly cooked. Staff is top notch. Seth (the owner) is the best!

    Nice place, very friendly staff. Food was very tasty, but a few things weren't up to par vis a vis the price: (1) the linguine was clumped together, and (2) the "20 ounce ribeye" was about 1/3 fat.

    I had a tremendous experience from the host to the wait staff and then, finally, the food. My medium-rare steak was cooked perfectly. My dirty martini, however, was never quite dirty enough,
