Bistro Nota

"I been traveling to Fort Wayne quite a bit recently, staying in town for a week at a time. During these visits, I’ve had the pleasure of navigating the cities under appreciated food scene. From cheap eats to the most elegant experiences, Fort Wayne seems to have it all. One place in particular has become not only my favorite in Fort Wayne, but tops the list completely…BISTRO NOTA!! This unassuming little bistro packs quite the culinary punch, smacking me in the face over and over again with a wide variety of tastes and senses for the palate. Until today, my favorite dish had been their Oven Roasted Chicken Breast, a delicious, juicy breast of chicken served with fingerling potatoes, and sautéed spinach, onions, and cherrywood bacon, all resting on a rich flavorful pan sauce. I live two hours (plus) away and have driven up just for this dish. That was until today… I am a fan of pasta, a REALLY BIG FAN. Today, wanting something different, I took the opportunity to try their Pasta Bolognese and my lord was I blown away. Waves of pappardelle nestled on my plate accompanied by the most delicious sauce with local ground beef, pork, pork belly, and tomatoes, all topped with a healthy dollop of ricotta cheese. The rich texture of the sauce and the creaminess of the ricotta cheese blended perfectly into the most delicious experience. What an absolute gem!! The service is casual and fun, with the severs proving a warm comfortable experience for their patrons. I’ve been lucky enough to have Hailey as my server multiple times and have enjoyed each interaction with sheer delight. If your in Fort Wayne, of just want an amazing culinary experience, you owe it to yourself to come to Bistro Nota. You will not be disappointed!!"

"We had dinner here based on the recommendation of a friend. So glad we did! The staff is great - attentive without hovering, and helpful with recommendations. We’ve gone back several times, even taking our kids, and have enjoyed every single dish. Delightful place!"

"Service was excellent, our server was kind and very attentive! The food was excellent and the prices were great for the quality. Not many places If any at all that you can get food of this caliber for a great price. Thoroughly impressed with everything, will definitely be coming back!"

"This place caught my eye when searching for places to eat while in Ft Wayne for business. I'd almost consider this a hole-in-the-wall place. It doesn't look like anything special from the outside or inside. The food is excellent and the service was friendly. I had the braised short and they were amazing. Paired it with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, also really good. I highly recommend trying this place!"

"Talk about a place I should have come to when I first saw it. Bistro Nota is simply to die for! We all tried something different so we could share. It was so hard to choose. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, cooked as it should be and seasoned perfectly. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The atmosphere is industrial, yet warm and inviting. Now serving Brunch from 12-2, and you don't want to miss out. We can't wait to go back for dinner. Thank you for an amazing dining experience!!!"
