Very Poor Service – I have now had a first after many years of seeking our fine dining. My party of 5 arrived on time for our 8:15 reservation and they kept us waiting 35 minutes while at least 3 other parties, that arrived after us and of comparable size were seated including 2 parties that had reservations at 8:30. After a lack of consideration and feeble explainations we left
Medford's favorite spot for upscale Italian fare provides suburban couples with a reason to avoid heading into Boston. – In Short Bistro 5's seasonal menu of modern Italian fare has made the restaurant a favorite of Medford residents and couples looking to celebrate a special occasion. The comfortable dining rooms and well-chosen wine list add to the atmosphere. Those looking for an extra-special dining experience opt for the chef's tasting menu, while regular diners enjoy dishes like lobster "cappuccino" (fortified lobster ... read more
Authentic Italian – Another great find outside the city! Bistro 5 is not in a particularly trendy or upscale town, but the food, wine and service are EXCELLENT. I always get the calamari appetizer---it is deliciosly different and very light. The entreés are always in season and perfectly prepared. The pastas, meats and fishes are always topped with amazing sauces. The servers (Angus is our favorite) are always friendly and helpful. This si definitely worth a trip to Medford!
Great Food near Tufts – My daughter is a college student at Tufts University in Medford. Over the years, when we visit we usually go to Boston. We were surprised when we learned about Bistro 5. It's right in Medford, not far from Tufts and the food is superb. The Italian menus offer high quality, fresh ingredients put together in an interesting way; I think this restaurant is a great find. People don't expect this caliber of food in Medford.
nice date spot in medford – good italian, surprisingly strong wine list, prices aren't the cheapest around but are fair considering the portions
great dining – We had a great experience. The staff was very helpful and very friendly. One thing to know before you go is they only serve beer and wine. The food was excellent, the staff was very helpful. We have been twice and had a great time both times.
Definitely Great! – We've been to Bistro 5 many times and have always been overly pleased with our meal. Yes, it is an expensive meal out but we think it's definitely worth it for a treat. They have seasonal menus, so it's always changing but you can't go wrong with any of the beef entrees. The only problem is that they do not take reservations for parties of less than 4 people.
The Quintessential Boston Gem... – Bistro 5 is that 'most special place' you take friends from out of town when they're done "doing the tourist thing" and want the best of what your city has to offer. The Bistro serves the best authentic modern Italian cuisine this side of Rome. Careful attention is paid to flavor, presentation, and providing a wonderfully wide variety you won't find elsewhere - like rabbit, boar, and divine sauces. The pasta and bread are handmade! And the wines are excellent and well priced. The staff adds... read more
Great Evening... – Despite pouring rain, daunting steps for my wheel chair, and the "Fryolator" remark in the previous review, my wife and I and our friends, decided to try Bistro 5 on Saturday evening. The food was outstanding with perfect timing to the serving of the dishes. Each of the appetizers was shared and pronounced delightful. The Salmon was flawlessly flavorful and moist with black sesame seeds and vegetables complimenting the fish perfectly. The Roasted Lamb was tender and delicious.. The infamous Veal Milanese b... read more
