    Just there. Family of eight for Mother's Day. The very best experience. The atmosphere, lively. The food outstanding. Veal chop, sword fish, halibut, veal picata and beef. Delicious/ cooked to perfection. Presentation, the best. Wonderful appetizers and bread. Our first visit. Made reservations based on excellent reviews. The reviews, believe them.

    Outside dining can be very noisy and a bit cramped. But the food is excellent. The Portobello salad with palm heart, sun dried tomatoes, and artichokes was excellent--wish I had the recipe. The owner is very personable and chatty and went to each outside table to talk, emphasizing the home grown food and fish from Hawaii.

    Exceptional! The service was by far the best part of our experience, and I would highly recommend Mele to anyone. The pasta dishes were flavorful but not too rich. Awesome wine selection, and very fairly priced

    This is a true gem that I wish we discovered sooner! The food - every dish - was amazingly flavorful, high quality, and made with an attention to detail. The atmosphere was super friendly, the owner so charming. A new go-to place!

    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.
