Well-prepared and imaginative food in a low-key bistro with a neighborhood vibe. We will be going back!

This was my first meal at Bistro 5. I had heard good things about it, and the actual experience was even better than expected. Fantastic drinks, beautifully prepared and delicious food, and the service was wonderful — delivered by knowledgeable, kind, and professional wait staff.
Gerry
Everything was awesome!  From the greeting of the host, until we left the place, we enjoyed every moment. The food, the service, the atmosphere, everything was very, very good!
Susan
Cozy space with nice warm lighting. Food was delicious and nicely presented. The bolognese was superb. Wish there had been dessert choices that were more appealing to me personally.
Nancy
Food and service was exceptional! We visited on NYE and the menu was great and the cocktails as well. Will definitely go back soon!
Rosemary
We look forward to returning to the bar but will not sit at a table again after 2 bad experiences in the past 3 months (service was terrible).
Rebecca
Four excellent meals though the lamb meatball appetizer was kind of springy. Drinks were good and service was great!!
Michael
Very good service! Wonderful food! The always full and busy environment reflects the good quality!
Deb
Shaved Truffles and carpaccio were delicious! Loved the salad and salmon. Service was very attentive but not intrusive! Noise level was high but festive. Loved our dinner and experience. Would definitely go back.

We had a lovely meal, with nice cocktails, appetizers, main course and dessert! we will be back
We had a wonderful dinner out that accommodated both celiac vegetarian food restrictions and tree nut allergies. The food was delightful, cocktails fresh, and the service top notch!

Our reservation was 6:15 PM, which was before the big dinner rush. As soon as we were seated and given our menus the server asked us to do the best we could to order our appetizers and main course in a timely manner because they were going to be very busy. The servers comment made clearly indicated there would be no lingering over our meal. Essentially, we were being asked to hop to it and get moving. No time for enjoyment. Too bad for us for making an early reservation since the later reservations in the restaurant's eyes had priority. Unfortunately, not really a good start to our evening. Now to the food.... I ordered the tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce. It was very good. My guest ordered a duck confit rolled in pasta dish. After tasting my guest's dish, I'd rate it as a 4 on a scale 1-10 I'd rate. For me, the whole experience was negative enough that I won't be returning. The bang was not worth the buck!

Delicious and delightful! We arrived late - after a Red Sox game - and were welcomed by the staff despite getting there so close to closing time. The food was absolutely amazing and service top-notch. They are extremely accommodating for dietary restrictions (gluten free for me), and provided great recommendations within those guidelines. The burrata salad and house-made gluten free gnocchi were out of this world! Thank you, Kyle, for your hospitality! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience and recommend Bistro 5 to anyone looking for great food and service.

The Heirloom Tomato tasting menu was AMAZING!! Chef Vittorio outdid himself with this one.
Joan
Food was amazing as usual, service was impeccable, and the drinks were outstanding. It was rather loud so hard to hear conversation. But that's just a measure of who was in the restaurant last night... It won't stop us from coming back!
