My friend & I went to BIS last night, we did not have a reservation as we we had a reservation mishap at another restaurant. Even though they were fully booked, the owner was so kind & found a way to accommodate my friend & I who were going to see a concert after. The food was absolutely devine, I am very picky when it comes to proper Italian food, & the food tasted traditional & was made with quality ingredients! The mini meatballs they gave us to start were wonderful, as well as the bread with oil. I had the Veal Piccata & my friend had the eggplant; both were so tasty! The service was also top notch, the servers were all friendly & super attentive. I cannot wait to go back & bring my husband who is from Italy!

I give four only because I was unfortunate to experience some issue with my check.
Staff was very friendly professional served on time. Food was great. I did not pay attention to the bill & paid. There was a bottle of wine included in it which of course I did not order. I guess ms it was my mistake to be negligent. That's ok I consider I paid 50% tip. Keep eye on the bill people make mistakes & go to that place it is good.
