3% service fee for using a credit card. Not cool. Service was very good though.

My husband and I were in town for a wedding. I did my usual search for the perfect spot with really good food (we're a bit picky). BISTRO 13 has a varied menu, good ratings, and photos that we hoped were accurate. We drove up, saw an average-looking exterior building in a little strip shopping center, and gingerly peered in the door. Ambient lighting was the first sign that this might be OK. It was all uphill from there. The environment was lovely, just intimate enough to be personal, and the staff, manager/partners, and owner - all wonderful. We chatted, had a perfect evening with good company, a nice bottle of wine, and excellent fare. The chef was incredibly accommodating, preparing my meal without dairy yet maintaining the integrity of the original recipe. We both had sea bass: mine atop pasta, and my husband's, as intended, on risotto. We agreed that if we lived locally, BISTRO 13 would be a weekly adventure. Thank you for making our stay memorable.
We came here for a private party. The staff was awesome and very attentive. I have Celiac Disease and must eat gluten free and I am also Pescatarian... they knowledgeable and able to give me a great meal. I want to come here again for a date night and would highly recommend for a private event.

The menu was classic Italian. Many pasta choices with the ability to choose your pasta and your "sauce". I had a salad and was solo so sat at the bar which was way out of the way, not bothered by that at all. The servers were very kind and kept checking in. My salad with salmon arrived exactly as I asked for it. They are no frills but I would definitely return. The owner and I had a nice conversation and he even sat and chatted with me. Very friendly. Great spot to get something to eat before my race the next day.
At first we were a bit scared when we drove up because from the outside it didn't look like much but insud was t is delightful. We had a great evening with good food and great service.

Intriguing menu in that you have options as to what pasta you want and then options for what type of sauce you want. The salads are good, the butternut squash ravioli were excellent. The lasagna was different in that instead of layers of pasta it was more like a scoop of ground seasoned veal with spinach and cheese with some pasta on the size in a very tomato based sauce with limited seasoning. The wine list was basic but reasonably priced. The best deal is going on a Wednesday when there is no corkage fee, that makes it worth going back for dinner.
This pace has always been great. The owner is there often making sure everything is right. Great service and food. Everyone that works there is focused on customer service.

We came here with a large group of 16 people — and not only did the restaurant handle our reservation beautifully, but every single one of us left impressed. From start to finish, the service was warm, attentive, and accommodating, which is no small feat with a group our size.

This place was great! I had the gnocchi with Salchicca sauce and my friend had the tuna special. It was perfect and we both enjoyed our meals. It’s a cute little local place and the service was top notch. I felt so welcome from the moment I walked in to the moment I left.

Nice spot. Food is tasty. Servers could be more friendly. A little smug when asked questions about the menu.
Giovanni greats all of the customers, and his description of the specials illustrates how passionate he is about his food and his restaurant. The salmon was amazing.

This has been my second time dining at Bistro 13 and though the first experience was good, the second was outstanding and worthy of review. Lexi (I believe was her name) was our server and she was absolutely perfect. She had impeccable timing and catered to my husband and Is date night flawlessly. Wine selection is wonderful and without significant markup from retail prices. The osso bucco special and lobster ravioli were amazing as well. Both items were a far cry from the overcooked steak I received on my first visit. 5 stars in everything except one star off ambiance due to the appearance of a seemingly broken heater near our table. (Just to nitpick)
The food and experience were just OK....won't be rushing back. Great service though, very kind and attentive staff.
