Bistecca

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there. If you missed James' segment on 2GB last week, here it is. Information that may be useful for BBQ at home today.

Our very own Alice Massaria (Head Sommelier) has been featured in Women in Hospitality this month.
“It’s always been a male dominant industry, but women have always been there, just kind of hiding or being put in second place. But yes, for sure there are many more women in the industry now, from hospitality to wineries, to judging and writing,” she said.

If you have ordered wine, sat in the dining room and eaten the steak, you’ve more than likely come across one of these friendly faces. Alice, Jimmy, Pip, Waz and Swanny are tasked with keeping the wheels of Bistecca moving every single day and night. •⠀ #bistecca #bisteccasydney #cityofsydney #sydneybars #bar #wine #bar #sydney #sydneynightlife #sommlife #sydney #hot50 📸 @dominicloneragan

Bistecca is an escape from your every day. After descending from street level into the dimly lit Bistecca Bar you’ll be met with a warm greeting and a wall of Italian amaro. Our dining room is hidden and you’re encouraged to lock your phone away upon entry so your attention is on your food, wine and conversation. •⠀ #bistecca #bisteccasydney #cityofsydney #sydneybars #bar #wine #italianwine #barfood #sydneynightlife #sommlife #winetime #sydney #cocktails #hot50 #sydneylunch#

"The Milk Negroni is bottled and served in a frozen stemmed glass without ice. It has a crème brûlée crust-like golden colour and an aroma that carries the most volatile flavours with cinnamon and nutmeg being most prominent."
Thank you Cocktails & Bars for the shout out.

Bistecca Bar now has extended opening hours on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from midday until 2am. If you need an escape from the office, seek out this sign on Dalley Street. Your Aperol Spritz is waiting. •⠀ #bistecca #bisteccasydney #cityofsydney #sydneybars #bar #wine #italianwine #barfood #sydneynightlife #sommlife #winetime #sydney #cocktails #hot50 #latenightdrinks 📸 @dominicloneragan

"If you are looking to take your significant other out to dinner on Saturday night in Sydney but don't want to spend your evening waiting for them to get off their phone, this restaurant is for you."

We’ll be celebrating in the bar drinking Negronis until 2am tonight having made The Australian Hot 50 restaurants today. A lot of hands have touched Bistecca since it’s inception and we are grateful for all of you.

Bistecca is opening for lunch VERY soon and therefore we're looking for reinforcements to join Pip and the kitchen team. If you're a chef and have been for a minimum of two years, enquire within.

“Social media is a fantastic way for businesses to connect with audiences, but it shouldn't replace an experience that can be shared among friends" - James Bradey (Bistecca Co-owner)

Sirloin (left) and Eye Fillet (right) are the cuts that make up the Bistecca alla Fiorentina. Here it is, pictured before the steak is cooked over charcoal, wood fire and olive branches on an open brick hearth within our dining room. It’s about time you visited Bistecca to try it for yourself. • #bistecca #bisteccasydney #cityofsydney #sydneybars #sydneyrestaurants #restaurant #bar #wine #italianwine #sydneynightlife #cheflife #sydney #bisteccafiorentina #bisteccaallafiorentina

ANNOUNCEMENT: We will be opening for lunch very soon. While we aren't yet taking reservations until the date is confirmed, leave us your email so you can be the first to hear about our plans.

Bistecca Bar is open from 4pm until 2am, serving Aperol Spritz from a tap beneath a wall of bitters. If you haven’t yet discovered the underground bar, it’s about time you should! •⠀ #bistecca #bisteccasydney #cityofsydney #sydneybars #bar #barfood #sydneynightlife #openkitchen #wine #amaro #amari

"Vicenza-born wine director, Alice Massaria, has dreamt up a list of close to 300 Italian wines and Australian wines made from Italian varietals to drink, many available by the glass or carafe. There will also be a selection of drinks on tap available for guests including an exclusive Four Pillars Negroni."

"To enter you wander down an alleyway, pass through a door and take a flight of stairs down to an antique-look, Euro-style cocktail bar. Another door leads to a similarly Continental-themed room, the dining room, with a flaming hearth covered in T-bone steaks as the centerpiece."
Broadsheet Sydney

The first two weeks since Bistecca opened have been a massive success! Thank you to those who have joined us on the journey so far. Due to demand, we will be opening for lunch in the coming weeks, so for all chefs out there please contact kitchen@bistecca.com.au if you want to join Pip and the team. •⠀ #bistecca #bisteccasydney #cityofsydney #sydneybars #bar #barfood #sydneynightlife #openkitchen #latenightdinner #winetime #wine #cheflife #hearth #cookingwithfire
