We were there for Thanksgiving dinner. Hospitality, food and service were great. Tables were a bit small (especially tables for two). Men’s washroom was being remodeled so everyone was sharing the ladies’ room. We will return for the hospitality, food, and service.

We had a wonderful experience today. The food and service was spectacular! Our group had a variety of different menu items and all were incredibly satisfied. Following our meal we sampled a variety of desserts … they were amazing as well. Very comfortable and classy atmosphere and the staff was beyond friendly and welcoming.

Once again we had a wonderful family gathering for out-of-town arrivals at Mele Bistro the night before Thanksgiving. As long as one person lives in Arlington, we will always share a meal here during our visits. All the pasta dishes are divine!

We were greeted by the owner and he couldn't have been friendlier. He was so welcoming. The menu is quite extensive. You can get a small portion or a larger portion. Prices were reasonable. I ordered the seafood linguine and it was loaded with seafood. So tender and delicious. Cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the red snapper and loved his dish, too. I highly recommend this restaurant. The parking lot in the front was filled, but the owner said that if you park in the garage directly across the street , they would validate it. It was great because there were no parking spaces on the street. We will definitely go back.

Very cute little place. I usually head for DC when I want a dinner out, but this was a nice experience with parking on site in the close in suburbs. I didn't expect the food to be as good as it was because the menu was huge and wide ranging. I had the butternut squash ravioli in red pepper sauce and it was excellent. My husband's duck could have been a bit less cooked and cut more evenly, but the flavor was delicious and I would order that if I went back. The sauteed calamari was fresh and the sauce light and flavorful I really judge a restaurant on this dish, because I've had so much rubbery calamari. This was tender and perfectly cooked. Recommend as a great alternative to Ubering into the city if you want a nice dinner in Arlington.
