I really REALLY enjoy the atmosphere at Bisato! Besides the tasteful and artistic menu, I like how the owner/chef comes out and thanks you individually for coming to his restaurant. The first time I went there, the person I was with, who also introduced me to Bisato, is pretty much considered a regular or at least remembered since the owner beamed with recognition. While the price of the dishes may seem a little high, it is definitely worth it with the quality of the dish and ingredients used.
I highly recommend the asparagus risotto, that was deliciously heavenly! This is definitely one of the must-go places in Beltown!
