We came on a busy Saturday evening. Was seated within 15mins. Our waiter was pretty good..busy but good. We waited longer than we would like for our food, but no different than anyone else that arrived around the same time as us. It was very good and we will be back to eat there again. Our reservations were for 7pm and we chose the outside seating which I highly recommend. However, by the time we were served it was cold (outside), and most or us had our jackets on as we ate. The manager was excellent – he sets the bar as what you’d expect when you go to a nice place to eat. Great restaurant…you will not be disappointed!

Mele Bistro is a must if you are in the Arlington area. Well seasoned steaks, hot olives, warm bread, perfectly cooked gnocchi, creamy risotto, and so many more choices. The owner is charming and attentive, and the patio has a great ambiance. Can’t wait to go back!

The menu was intense! Each meal was named to include location of ingredients which was very helpful for seafood. Just put you at ease that ingredients are fresh. And so many delicious options for meat, pasta and seafood dishes. Our table loves our entrees we didn’t care for the cheese plate but the eggplant mozzarella was amazing and they loved the fried calamari.

Mele Bistro is a real GEM! This was definitely our most enjoyable dining experience while visiting Arlington. Mele’s menu features homemade pastas, fresh meats and vegetables. The outdoor seating area was comfortable and pleasant, and the wait staff was both friendly and entertaining (especially Frank). We really enjoyed our meal here and look forward to returning on future trips to Arlington.

The restaurant was really, really good!. As soon as we stepped inside the restaurant, every single waiter made us feel welcome. The food was amazing, we ordered a calamari with white wine sauce and it was superb. We also ordered a dish from the exotic menu (fusili with sea food) and amount of sea food was generous. We will definitely come back again.

Absolutely delicious food in a great atmosphere. Very quick service despite the restaurant being packed. All the food is fresh and homemade, highly recommend the homemade pastas and the chocolate cake. They have a huge menu with something for everyone. Even the table bread was phenomenal!

I first visited Mele in 2020. The staff is extremely warm and welcoming, and they make you feel like you’re at home. The food is exceptional! They only serve fresh, high quality, farm-to-table ingredients. I had my birthday party there and had a wonderful time. Mele is a hidden gem!
