La Bistecca Italian Grille — Restaurant in Plymouth Charter Township

Many other reviewers have spoken of the tremendous hospitality and service at La Bistecca. We had a similar experience. Our waitperson, Jasmina (I hope I spelled that correctly) was attentive and the food arrived accurately and in a timely fashion.

As for the food, I often find the appetizers the most interesting menu items. The special of the day was a tomato bisque that sounded too good to pass up. It had great flavor and texture, but it had too much salt for my preference. The flavor would have carried it with 1/2 the salt.

One of our guests ordered the Brussels sprouts. They have a mustard in them, which I don't usually like, but it was a really good quality mustard and it didn't overpower the other flavors, so in spite of my dislike of that ingredient, I thought the sprouts were excellent and I'd highly recommend them as a starter (of course, bacon is almost cheating).

Another guest likes to start with dessert, so she ordered the Tiramisu. This is another dish I don't usually order because I'm not fond of coffee. The coffee was very subtle and the whole thing was another hit! I particularly liked that it was very light and not overly sweet. The perfect balance!

Two of us had the Frutti di Mare con Bucatini (I think this translates to fruit of the sea with Bucatini). I was baby scallops, shrimp, and bucatini pasta in a creamy pesto sauce. The seafood was cooked perfectly. It's easy to overcook shrimp, but these still had just the right amount of softness. The pasta was one of the best I've had -- not quite el dente, but it had a satisfying chew that you only get with freshly made pasta. The sauce had a complex flavor that would have stood on its own without so much cheese. To be fair, I didn't realize that there was cheese in it already, so when Jasmina offered me more, I took some before quickly realizing I didn't need it.

Two other members of our party had veal and salmon. They both thoroughly enjoyed their dishes. The lemon butter sauce on the salmon was rich and tasty.

We were celebrating my wife's birthday and when I called ahead, they offered us a complimentary dessert, which they brought out with a candle. It was creme brulee, and one of the best I've had. The brulee was crisp, but not too thick and the creme was smooth and creamy without...

I typically never leave reviews for restaurants but after eating here last night I had to leave one. Honestly the BEST meal I've EVER had. I made a reservation here for my boyfriend's birthday in the dining room. We made a 40 minute drive, so I was a little nervous that we would be let down (we never go out to eat in Plymouth, so this was a new experience). I was blown away! Hospitality is a 10/10 - the entire staff is so kind! The ambiance is a 10/10 - the lighting is so romantic and the restaurant is so clean (bathrooms are spotless). Our server, Kevin, was knowledgeable about everything on the menu and gave us a rundown about the restaurant, its history, and about the food itself. He was super polite, SO speedy, and one of the best servers I've ever had! We started with a margarita and a moscow mule - pretty good, what you would typically expect. But the food was insane!! The bread they brought to the table was so fresh, and we loved the bean dip/salad they served with it. we ordered the Arrancini as an appetizer, the sauce was delicious. The side salads were so flavorful, I loved the caesar salad (the dressing was amazing). I ordered the Filettini Siciliana, which came with parmesan risotto....... I literally could cut the steak with my FORK - that's how tender it was. It was my first time trying risotto ever and I was so impressed! My boyfriend had the braised beef short rib and ordered the mushroom risotto (instead of the horseradish risotto), the short rib was so tender that it fell apart when he cut into it. His risotto was also delicious. The food is very well-priced - the portions are HUGE and the quality is perfect and so flavorful. We ordered a tiramisu for dessert, and it was (no joke) one of the best desserts I've ever had (and it was huge!!!) Kevin even put a birthday candle on it! If you are going to take anything away from this review, let it be this: (1) Order a dish with beef in it! I promise you won't be disappointed; and (2) Request Kevin as your server! He will made your dining experience one to remember! We will 1000000% be returning for...

We’ve consistently enjoyed outstanding meals at LaBistecca, which is why I chose it to host my father’s 80th birthday celebration for 20 guests. From the moment I began planning, Jerry, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. He personally met with me to discuss the menu, appetizers, and desserts, and even created a beautiful personalized menu for each guest, featuring a picture of my dad. The attention to detail was simply exceptional.

The service was equally impressive. Three incredible staff members took orders, served drinks, and catered to everyone’s needs with flawless precision and warmth—no request was too big or small. They were nothing short of fantastic! Throughout the evening, Jerry made multiple visits to check in and ensure everyone was satisfied, showcasing the genuine care and hospitality that defines LaBistecca. A lovely touch was when Jerry introduced us to the chef, adding an extra layer of personal connection and appreciation for the talent behind the amazing dishes. They also thoughtfully prepared a special plate for our vegetarian guest, ensuring that everyone’s dietary needs were met with the same level of care and excellence.

And then there was the food—truly a masterpiece! The Arancini and Sausage and Peppers were the perfect appetizers, setting the stage for the main course. The Filet, Chicken Marsala, and Spaghetti and Meatballs tasted as if they had been prepared by a grandmother’s loving hand—comforting, flavorful, and utterly memorable. The Cannolis, served with fresh fruit, were the perfect sweet ending to a perfect meal.

The evening was a resounding success, with everyone leaving with full stomachs and glowing praise. Most importantly, my dad had the time of his life, surrounded by family and savoring exquisite food. A heartfelt thank you to Jerry, the entire team at LaBistecca, and the talented chef for making this milestone birthday celebration truly...
