Today's Wednesday's lunch was at The Bistro 3515, previously known as Maggiore Bistro! Located at 3515 Bobcat Village Rd NP! What a beautiful complex on Toledo Blade! The gem of the complex is The Bistro, nice ambiance, decor and plenty of seating. Other lunchers were also enjoying their lunch as well in very pleasing atmosphere. Some of our ladies stated with Lobster Bisque Soup, Goat Cheese with Pita and Apple Fruit Jam, as well as other delights Entrees were a variety of Salads, handheld wraps, sandwiches of all types such as burgers, or chicken. Asking our girls everyone was very pleased with their lunch and the service was spot on by Connie and Jill. Every dish was hot, pleasant presentation, the drinks specials were their house sangrias, white, red, and pineapple/coconut tasted exactly like a pina colada! There were smiles, great conversations, chuckles and giggles. Everyone said it was a great choice for our CCGF WEDNESDAY's Lunch! We will definitely return! read more

Neat spot, tucked out of the way in Bobcat. If you want Italian food at its best then consider a visit to this spot. Menu is not overwhelming and offers classic dishes. The staff members are helpful and very attentive, ambience is quiet low light and the decor is typical. I ordered Shrimp Scampi with Angel hair and wife ordered Chicken piccata both dishes were delicious and plentiful. Recommend this spot for a quiet date with your main squeeze and a good meal. read more

Very nice dining experience. The food and service was excellent. The atmosphere was very pleasant and was quiet so we could enjoy our conversation without a lot of background noise. Only downside was they don't have a full beverage license however they made up for it with their beer and wine. After all when eating Italian nothing goes better than a nice glass of wine. read more

Great food and friendly owners. I think we found a new favorite Italian spot. Highly recommend trying. Monday night music BINGO. Wednesday night BBQ. Saturday night prime rib. Friday/Saturday live music. Joleen, owner, is energetic and engaging. Will certainly be back. P.S. The house salad dressing is divine! read more

Cute little place. Food was good quality served hot and fresh. We will try again when in the area.

Everything was really good! From starters to burger to kids meals. We had more than we could eat! The waitress was so sweet and everything was clean and kid friendly. read more

Excellent Find! Such a great place! The staff is fantastic, friendly and funny and warm. Perfect atmosphere for a Bistro, calm fresh casual. The food is wonderful, fresh ingredients, freshly prepared. They nail the Italian basics, which is t always easy. All the beef and veal we have had there is cooked to perfection. Great selection of beer and wine. We said after first night we would be back, and we have several times. Hint: the seats at the bar are fantastic. read more

We keep going back partly the food we had Ribs on Wednesday my wife had them for the first time and ate all off them, she loved them Jolene waited on us great personality (owner) Will be back read more

Service is great and the food is delicious. Hometown attmosphere and friendly faces. Reasonable prices for a nice lunch or dinner.

We are new to the area, looking for new favorite places to put in our rotation for our regular date nights. This small, cute, family run local Italian place is definitely a new favorite of ours! We have only lived here 2 months and have been here twice. We HIGHLY recommend visiting between 4-6pm on Wednesday nights to try their amazing rib special. It sells out quickly, so try to get there early They have many bbq sauces to choose from. My guy likes the Bourbon one, & I like the cranberry one...but we are looking forward to trying all of them! They have a great variety of items on their menu, not just Italian. My guy loved their burger the first time we went, and he's super picky. The service was great, and the ambiance was nice as well. We are definitely going to be regulars there! read more

Well, unfortunately we are now done with this restaurant. It had been one of our favorites for many years. It is under new ownership and we felt we wanted to give them a chance, but after three visits we can no longer support this once great 'hidden gem'. We had reservations at 6:15 this evening and for the first time didn't have to wait 30 minutes to get our table. It took almost 15 minutes for the server to come take our drink order, even though she kept apologizing and said she would be right with us. We ordered the red wine sangria which had been one of the best in town along with the boom boom shrimp appetizer. another 10 min and our drinks finally arrived and 10 more min and appetizer. Now just before 7pm and server took our order, but before that shared they were out of butter for the bread, prime rib (special of the night), out of shrimp and out of veal (I have always ordered veal piccata over angel hair). So I settled for chicken piccata and my wife ordered chicken franchise. While others were seated and served their meals, we continued to wait. Finally ours arrived. Server asked if I wanted freshly grated parm over my meal which I said YES to, and then went off to settle a bill with another table, get to-go boxes for that table, then back to get a bag for the take-out boxes, then clear another table, then chat up another table. Finally the grated parm came, but at that point I said just box everything up as my meal was cold. I'm not sure if the problem is in the kitchen or the servers are just all over the place, but it is not worth the frustration and delays for us to go back. I certainly hope the new owners figure it out, but we won't be back. read more

We've eaten here plenty of times and the food is always delicious. One of the best Italian restaurants in the area, and we've eaten out in areas spanning from Ft Myers to Tampa. Well prepared, unique and consistent. Excellent chef. read more

Good place and good service. Eventhough we were only here for like 30 - 40 minutes... we could see the place was busy for late lunch and service runs fast. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The meatball sub was good... the tomato sauce is fresh and lite. Good contrast to the crunchy bread and soft juicy meatballs. Overall a good place for a quick lunch. Maybe some other time I could try having dinner here. read more

Buyer beware. If you use a Credit Card to pay for your bill, you will have an additional 3 to 4% added to your total. Just wondering when the extra charges for other business expenses will show up on the next bill, if I ever go there again. read more

Food was just okay. Been here a few times and it was always exceptional. Veal Marsala was a heavy battered piece of veal. This meal should be a delicate piece of veal. Wife's meatballs were actually disgusting. Wine selection is very limited. No choice of variety of wine. Better off going elsewhere for sure. Won't be returning. read more

Everything is always delicious! Wine is yummy. Ambiance is generally very nice as well! I do recommend this place to anyone . Good service always . read more

Wow, Wow, Wow. After living in North Port for some time we found this hidden gem. A true local secret (let's keep it that way)! The ambiance is cozy, classy, and not over the top. Perfect for a quiet date night or dinner with the kids. Our service was also great, full drinks and frequent check ins throughout the meal made the experience great. To save the best for last the food! It was incredible. You could tell everything was made FRESH IN HOUSE. The food quality far surpassed any other local restaurant we had tried since moving to North Port. We will be back, often. It's very rare that you can find an affordable restaurant that provides like Maggiore Bistro. Our new favorite! read more

Great service. Fresh , perfectly cooked Italian food. Second time here and will return.

We went for dinner with 4 adults and 2 kids. They accommodated us easily, service was very friendly, and the food was great. My husband and I stuck around and had some more wine at the bar, which was very welcoming and relaxing. We hope to be back. read more

I choose a burger with Homemeade BBQ sauce and it was great, although it had no cheese on it and I wasn't offered some... Doublechecked the menu, and cheese option was on the list. I think the waiter should've asked. My wife went with Gourmet burger, but it had no sauce at all... Imho, the sauce is something that completes and combines all the ingredients into a single structure. She said same. It is not bad here, I may even come back again, but you should be extremely precise with the order. Side sweet potatoes were cool btw! read more

We went here by chance and couldn't have been more pleased! The service and food were superb! It just happened to their rib night. They were fall off the bone perfection. We will be going back! read more

If you like to support small business owners this is a little hidden gem restaurant. It's small and cozy and the menu has a nice variety. I had the ribs that were very good, they fall off the bone and you never have to get your hands dirty. You get several choices for a barbecue sauce and two sides. I didn't care for the coleslaw and my server asked what I would like to replace it with, I then had the baked beans and they were delicious. I'm looking forward to trying other items on the menu. read more

Used to be reliably good. Tues we had 2 Geouper sandwiches. Terrible, tasteless, partly raw, asked for breaded. I dunno what we got, poached maybe? Cole slaw was fresh but tasted Terrible. I had previously given them 3 stars but need to take away 1.5. read more

Great fish and chips, reasonably priced. Ambience is pleasant and clean. Service was cordial and attentive, yet not overbearing. We will go back again and sample the Italian portion of menu, which friends tell us is excellent. read more

The food was good, the service was very friendly and moderately efficient. But this seems overpriced to us.

Great place to get some simple great tasting food and down to earth service. Till next time! Cheers, DANIEL read more
