Bitto Bistro

Nice atmosphere, good food, kind of standoffish service but I’m sure that can be better with another waitress…

Absolutely amazing! The smoked salmon was to die for; the wine and cheese as well. Wonderfully helpful with wine deletion. If I lived here it would be a regular!

Great service, food, and atmosphere! Good value for the price.

I’ve been here twice and each time was delightful. The servers are very attentive and will guide you if you’ve never been there before. If you’re a little more experienced, they’re willing to hang back and let you do your thing.
The cheese platters are to die for, and you can get completely full just munching on all the goodies. My only complaint is that their meat options for the platters only offer pork products and one fish product, neither of which my family can eat. It didn’t dampen the experience, though, we just added on more cheese.
The wine selection is wonderful. If you have an idea of the kind of wine you like, the menu or your server can help narrow down something you’ll enjoy. I loved that they had a couple unfiltered, organic wines on their list. You also get a 10% discount if you go next door and buy a bottle after your meal.
Overall, very enjoyable. I can’t believe it has to be said this isn’t a family restaurant like some of these reviews have mistaken it for, it is clearly an adult establishment. That makes it great for get-​togethers with friends or significant others. I will certainly come back.

Where to begin… I came to an empty restaurant and asked for a table for 7 and they asked if I had a reservation. I said no… didn’t know I needed one. I looked around at this empty place and asked if they had a table available and she said «yes, but most of our patrons make reservations». Okay…2 families…3 kids total. Young kids. 18 mos, 3 and 5. Kids would walk around table to their parents or to listen to the live guitar player and we were asked to control our kids. When we made a comment among ourselves about them not liking kids, a very rude waitress said she had two kids… but they didn’t actually like our children. Who says this? Wine great… Fondue was runny and not worth the cost. Wasn’t very busy… I can see why now. We will not be future patrons who «make reservations»…but then again… maybe we will just to prove a point. Post a sign if this is not an establishment for families with children.

My advice don’t eat or drink anything for most of the day, then go here and try every tasting. The Charcuterie and Cheese plates are the best, they are a select your own from a large selection or cheeses, meats and pâté’s. Spent several hours trying wines from their massive «by the glass» options. Staff is friendly and knowledgable and made suggestions I would not have tried otherwise. The food presentation is lovely. Good for large groups. I highly recommend trying the patio, great place to spend some time people watching.

Not a good place for families. Menu is very limited. More of a tapas place than a bistro. VERY EXPENSIVE!!!

Wow. Totally impressed! I had the seafood stew, my brother had a plate full of meat (chicken, beef), some strong Margaritas, and delicious, house — made tortillas. If you haven’t been, Denver, go. Tonight. :)

We were first timers looking forward to a very nice experience however our server did not let that happen.
I let her know we were first timers she did not let us know about the flight of wine which is what they’re known for 4 the meat and cheese platter we were on our own not knowing what to order.
Very disappointed for such a wonderful place food was great!

Formerly Wine & Cheese, but we love this place! Great alternative to your normal restaurant/​bar. Why only 4 stars? Because I love beer and I love beer at a decent price. I know, it’s WINE and Cheese but I would love if they had a beer special. Other than my own personal issues, this place is great and they have great service! We always get the huge cheese platter and it does the trick.

I can’t say enough great things about this place! Started with champagne flights then on to rose’ flights and finished off with reds! And the cheese and meat platter was to die for! Will be back!

Yum, this is a perfect place for a ladies night or date night! A bunch of girlfriends and I split the platter with five or six items, it was basically one big charcuterie platter with figs, almonds, walnuts, apricots and olives on the side for extra noshing. Give me cheeses and cured meats and I’m a happy gal! Oh, and of course wine. They have an absolutely delightful selection of wines and word on the street is that they have wine flights as well. Yeah, this place is pretty much my idea of heaven. Too bad it’s so far from my house but if I lived on the north side I would be here ALL the time!

Good wines and great cheese. Wife and I each ordered a 3 wine flight and shared a 3 cheese platter. I ordered a 2 wine flight to follow. The cheese platter was adequate to fill us both.
Good service and reasonably priced

Not gonna lie… Amazing experience. Our waitress was professional, knowledgable, and beautiful. The prices for the wine were very reasonable (to me because I only need the 2oz, lol!) and a great way to get experience with wine. I *loved* the meat and cheese platter! It was such a relaxing, clean, and classy experience. I can’t wait to go again! St. Hilaire wine is now my favorite and I can’t find it anywhere!

The wine selection was fantastic, but the food was not fresh at all. With a menu that huge, I would imagine that it is difficult to keep fresh sources of cheeses and meets. The food was definitely old, still, and some tasted freezer burned. Will not be back. Not to mention, the food wasn’t cheap.

My second time here, was recommended and have NEVER been let down. Perfect place for a lunch or happy hour. Inside or outside you’ll get the same savory yummy plates and wines! The signature platters are a must, and ask for recommendations! There’s so much to try and so many great wine, cheese and meat combinations.

Love this place! Great outdoor seating and great food and wine. Love one of their waiters who I am often lucky to get and takes time to ask what we like and make am great recommendations.
The d’apple entrée and the brichetta are my favorite meals!
My only complaint is that it’s hard to remember which drinks are which when you order a flight. Would love to see them wrote on the glasses with dry erase marker so that when you find wines you do or do not want to order again, you can remember the name!

I went to Bitto Bistro for a girl’s night out. The wine selection and cheese pairing is pretty impressive. The service is a bit strange as there aren’t necessarily bartenders or servers… it seems to be an odd combination of food prep/​serving staff. My group was often trying to find someone to order more drinks from. I’m not sure the service tonight was common but she was short with us and not at all friendly. My friend didn’t know tasters weren’t allowed and was told «we don’t do tasters» with a great deal of rudeness. We’re happy to pay for the 2 ounce drinks — just simply tell us that. We weren’t trying to be cheap, we just didn’t know your process. It was our first time there, so we had questions (more than a few) and she wasn’t thrilled about helping us. We relied heavily on Unilocalers for wine selections (thank you Unilocal!)
A smile and some patience goes a long way — especially for new customers who are inquiring about new wines to try. A little bit of service would have given this place 4 stars. The only time our server was remotely kind is when she accidentally billed my credit card the full amount instead of splitting evenly amongst the party. She said it would not show up (it did, but hopefully will not post). If it does post… I’ll be sure to update this review.
I expected more for the price… everything from the wine to the appetizers/​salads is a little pricey. It would have been worth it for a better experience. Perhaps we’ll luck out with a different server next time.

Ask for Troy! He knows what he is doing and gives each table an experience, doesnt just serve you food.
So delicious. I havent had a bad cheese yet!

So many great things to say about this place!
We stopped in at Orchard Town Center for lunch and afterward decided to seek out a decent Happy Hour. What a gem we’ve found!
Build your own flights: not cheap but turns out, not a bad deal! We selected 5 BIG red wines to include in our flight, one of which was free because we checked in on Unilocal. The check-​in says that they’ll comp the least expensive wine, but our waiter offered to comp our MOST expensive one! Nice! Then, as we were enjoying our tasters, he brought over an additional wine to taste that he thought would go well with our other selections — GRATIS! Cha-​ching.
Tally — we’re up to 2 free tasters.
Toward the end of our tasting, and because we had ordered big, tannen-​heavy wines, our paletes were falling apart so we asked for some bread and some olive oil. Our waiter then brought out some bread, crackers and 3 «dips»: olive oil, apricot spread and balsamic glaze. We figured we’d be paying for this (which was fine) but that turned out to be free as well. I’m not sure if that’s standard procedure but it certainly wasn’t something that was offered out-​right as normal «munchies.» We were so pleased and were able to enjoy the rest of our wine flight with some great nosh.
At the end of our flight tasting, as we were paying, our waiter brought over another complimentary sample for each of us, this time a dessert wine… tawny port. Tasty!
Needless to say, he was great. So gracious and so attentive. And he got a nice big tip :)
Other than being a bit pricey, the ONLY other complaint I have about Wine & Cheese is how our experience started out. As I have mentioned our waiter did an amazing job. BUT when we were first sat, it took him about 15 minutes to come greet us. We had 3 other waiters stop by our table to tell us that our waiter was «with the manager» and would be with us shortly. This was not a big deal; we were given water and were even asked if we were ready to order, which we hadn’t been. We felt well attended-​to. When our waiter did finally come to the table to introduce himself, he reeked of cigarettes. Whether he was «with the manager» or not is of no consequence. They deserve breaks too. But I will say that ANY time you’re enjoying a meal, it’s always a bummer to be inundated with the smell of cigarettes, especially when drinking and eating wine and cheese which employ a great deal of smell.
I will say that we will most certainly return and were it not for the unfortunate way it started, Wine & Cheese would have gotten a solid 5 stars from me!
