“ 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 sauteed 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!! ”
“ Quiet little date night. I had the Teres Major and my date got the Beef Stroganoff. Both were absolutely delicious. ”
“ We had heard good things about this restaurant, so we decided to drop by on a Saturday evening. Really nice interior with about 15 tables or so. We ordered a bottle of fantastic chewy Bodega Pablo Fallabrino - Uruguay Tannat 2018. For dinner we ordered the beef tenderloin and the short rib (over polenta-yes please!). Both cooked very well and best meal we had while visiting Ft. Wayne. Our server was fantastic!! Highly recommend! ”
“ 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! ”
“ Seriously so good!! I get so nervous to try new restaurants because I don't want to be disappointed in my meal. Everything we ordered (appetizers, main dish, dessert) was on point and so flavorful! The Charred Brussels & Mornay and Pain Et Fromage (focaccia bread with roasted pepper cheese dip) appetizers were both amazing. Both the Beef Teres and salmon we ordered were cooked to perfection and paired nicely with their sides. Definitely recommend!! ”
