    We dine here often! It is excellent every single time. The food is always great with lots of variety for anyone’s taste. The staff are dedicated and very attentive. Frank, the owner, is so wonderful to come out and talk to everyone of his customers. We love it!

    We have been dining at Mele Bistro and its predecessor Village Bistro for over thirty years. No restaurant in Arlington has a more extensive menu - featuring Mediterranean and Italian fare as well as a superb selection of seafood. The warm, tender and flavorful sauteed Bistro Calamari remains our favorite appetizer; and the simply grilled halibut and the blackened monkfish remain our favorite entrees. The veteran staff is very personable and charming. The weather was also mild enough that many customers chose the outdoor patio seating If you save room for dessert, you cannot go wrong with the warm creme brulee.

    We were warmly greeted by the restaurant team at all levels which was so nice! We visited with friends from out of town because of the food, the central location, and oh, did we mention we loved the food? It was very busy that evening and the buzz throughout the restaurant was of laughter and happy customers all around. The various dishes we ordered included two types of fish, chicken and seafood pasta dishes. The servers and kitchen were sensitive to our food allergies and we never realized we were missing those ingredients. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. Small portions were perfect for those with moderate appetites and the large ones were ideal for sharing bites with others or sufficient for one. I would highly recommend a first time visit or making this a usual stop when in Arlington. Need to bring your four legged friend? Outdoor seating is plentiful. It’s the parking that’s limited.

    This farm to table restaurant is rated #9 out of over 700 restaurants in Arlington. It's supposed to be romantic, beautiful with healthy farm to table French and Italian cuisine. The homemade pastas piqued my interest. I'm glad I was able to snag a table on the OpenTable app. We valeted the car in front & we're seated with a massive wine list. We started with a French Chardonnay. I enjoyed a silky cheesy sweet French onion soup to start. My family started with a small homemade pasta course. The warm bread was fresh & crispy. The service throughout the evening was impeccable. My entree was the Spanish fisherman pate with scallops, mussels, rockfish, artichokes, hearts of palm & portobellos in a light cream sauce. My portion was huge and I'm looking forward to enjoying the second half another day. Everyone else had steaks cooked to perfection with mixed vegetables, risotto, and asparagus. We finish the evening by sharing a slice of cheesecake, which was outrageous.

    What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing with very large portions but the ambience was incredible. The owner swung by our table to chat twice and made us feel at home. It is the ultimate neighborhood restaurant!

    Our experience last night was terrible. From the second we were seated, we never felt taken care of from the waitstaff. Our initial server came to us once and never checked back in with us even when he checked on the table RIGHT NEXT TO US. We had to constantly wait for water, bread, and chance to put in our order. Not once when we got our food did he check in on us to see how the food/experience was. We had to flag down other staff for service because our waiter was unattentive. For how expensive the food was, it would have been nice to have felt taken care of. Will never return and don’t recommend.
