In Short – This spot features a jovial staff and appropriately bizarre collection of offbeat antiques dangling from the ceiling. The small, vibrant space retains its regulars with pasta like the Ravioli di Zucca, a squash dish that includes touches of nutmeg tossed in a sage butter sauce and topped with spicy candied pecans. A wine list, daily rotating incarnations of lasagna, and a dessert menu are also available. Feel good about eating here: their menu boasts a 300 mile range, which is to say the majority of thier ingredients come from only 300 miles away.

Worst service I've ever experienced in my life!

by flamingoattack

A group of friends and I planned to go to Bizarro on a Friday night. We understood that there were no reservations, but we called ahead to ask if they could accommodate a large group. We were given no problem, and we were willing to wait the hour+ it took to get a table.

Upon ordering, the server realized that many of us had ordered salads rather than entrees and promptly changed from her cheery self to the rudest server I have ever met. She slammed the utensils down on the table, yelled across the table, and demanded our dessert orders approximately 3 mins after our salads were served. Even before we were finished with our plates, they were whisked away, no questions asked. We were in and out in less than an hour, and as we added up the bill (for which we had all brought cash), we were offered a calculator to hurry up our payment. We were stared down by the entire staff the whole evening.

Apparently, although this place advertises itself as a friendly and laid-back establishment, they would much rather serve those who would give them the most money in the least amount of time.

  • Pros: food was pretty good
  • Cons: they would rather you be a dollar bill than a customer

Nothing Special

by skyg35x

Not sure what all the fuss is about. Food is nothing to brag about, service was so so at beat and it takes to dang long to get food from kitchen.

  • Cons: Bad Service and food takes to long.

happiness in a bowl

by allyann

Fantastik, wonderful, we were so happy to have spent our modest dollars at this well run and exciting restaurant. unbelievable prices for such great and exciting meals. we watched as each table would observe what the next table had ordered and all of us excited to see what the next dish would be.....the 2 of us will make this a must go destination as long as these fine people keep serving such wonderful bites.

  • Pros: beautiful food
  • Cons: worthwhile wait

The Details on Bizzarro Italian Cafe

Look Good:

On weekends there's often a long wait for a table. Put in your name and head around the corner to Smash Wine Bar on 45th for a glass of wine while you wait.

The Extras:

The servers sometimes seranade the customers with operatic airs.

Know Before You Go:

Silence your phone before entering the restaurant--the menu clearly threatens a $5 fine for cell phone use.
