TUNA "Is this fish or chicken what I have here?", that is what I said to myself and the tuna encompassed my tongue. I could not tell what it was because the food had horrible quality and taste. The lack of attention made my meal distasteful and it ruined my day, I would not recommend this to anyone. This place ruined my taste for tuna for the rest of my life.

Amazing food, knowledgable staff, great atmosphere This is the best place to go in the Boston area for high quality food and great service in a romantic atmosphere! The food is great, and the staff can give you the perfect wine pairings.

World Class Dining in a tucked away location My first trip to Bistro 5 I was blown away by the food & the experience. Chef Vittorio Ettore is extraordinary & he pays attention to the details that often get lost in a resturant. Great food is paired with terrific wine options and a wait staff that is knowledgeable & service oriented. On this first trip when my dining companion sent back his meal to be cooked a bit further - Chef Ettore himself came out to explain what had happened. This lead to a wonderful and lovely discussio... read more

Atmosphere nice - Food too gourmet - left hungry :( – Atmosphere inside was nice. Food overated and overpriced. I am not one for "fancy" food. We left hungry and disappointed. Waitstaff was prompt and attentative as they were not very busy. Overall if you like gourmet food I'd rate it a 3 on a scale 1 to 5. I much prefer the Cafe Escadrille in Burlington for special occasions or The Salem Wood Cafe in Malden for a more casual dinner.

restaurant week – Went here for rest week - Winter as I thought the menu looked great & I was not disappointed. We were pleasantly surprised at how romantic & intimate the interior is compared to the exterior! The portions were more than adequate, the eggplant & goat cheese appetizer was melt in your mouth yummy! The wine menu was filled with wonderful Italian wines and we were very pleased to see our favorite Chianti Classico wine on there. Overall it was an excellent dining experience & one we will repeat again soon!!!

romantic plus great food -- what a combination – This is the kind of place you go if you want to hold hands. Intimate, neighborhood bistro with fabulous food -- I've never been disappointed.
