Mele rivals all top rated restaurants. Small plate of trout and asparagus featured perfectly cooked items with delicious, delicate, savory, light and creamy sauce with ginger on the side. My husband’s steak was superb and our first-time-at-Mele guests were delighted with their four cheese ravioli, with special kudos to the spinach on top. Carlos is a lovely, skilled waiter, our long time favorite. Mele wins the prize.

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!
