Our Story
A hidden gem within The Kimberly Hotel, Bistango is a celebration of thoughtful dining and genuine hospitality. Since opening our doors in 2014, we’ve remained committed to crafting seasonal cuisine that feels both timeless and personal—where every ingredient is chosen with care, and every dish is made from scratch.
Our kitchen is entirely gluten-free, with a dedicated space ensuring a safe and seamless experience for our guests. But what truly sets us apart is our belief that dining is about more than just food—it’s about comfort, connection, and the simple joy of gathering at the table. Whether you’re here for a quiet lunch or an evening with friends, Bistango is a place to feel at home.
