" Mele Bistro is the spot to be! I loved their risotto, made to order and perfectly creamy. We also had the chocolate cake for dessert, and it was heavenly! The ambiance was lively and warm, but during peak hours, service can slow down a bit. Overall, I can't wait to visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" They say good things come in threes, and Mele Bistro is no exception! Amazing food, excellent selection, and superb service. My pasta dish was on point, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The ambiance really adds to the overall experience, but it's wise to book a reservation as it gets popular. Definitely will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated our anniversary at Mele Bistro, and it was a dreamy experience. The owner went above and beyond to make us feel special, and the food was incredible! We started with the calamari, which was crispy and not greasy. For the main course, the Sea Bass was divine! Everything is full of authentic flavors and clearly fresh. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather disappointing experience at Mele Bistro. While the atmosphere was lovely, the food did not meet my expectations. The pasta was undercooked, and there was too much sauce on my dish, overpowering the flavors. The staff was polite, but I felt neglected at times. Perhaps I just went on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mele Bistro exceeded my expectations during my recent visit. Authentic Italian dishes made with such love! The lasagna was hearty and flavorful. The owner stopped by to chat—what a lovely touch to an already pleasant evening! I’ll certainly return for more meals like this! " (*Curated Review*)
