Mello Bistro can be described as a hidden gem in Staten Island. We drove in from Brooklyn to try out a place with 5.0 stars (which seemed almost too good to be true) This place did not disappoint. I cannot say that every item was bursting with added flavors, but I can say that every single bite was fresh and delightful. I did not feel at all thirsty after the meal which means they did not put a crazy amount of flavor enhancers in their food. This is a family owned business that makes their customers feel at home. Shout out to Romulo for successfully serving all the tables at once, and making drinks in the midst of all of this!

Run don’t walk to this outstanding restaurant. It’s a gem tucked away at Rosebank Staten Island on Bay Street. Tonight I had the fried zucchini fries made with truffle oil and I don’t want to eat French fries ever again. For my main course I had the crusted tuna with arugula and sautéed fennel, it far exceeded my expectations. For my sweet ending I had the apple tart with a topping of vanilla ice cream. All I can say is WOW!!! Go, go, go!!! You will not be disappointed! This will be my regular stop.

Amazing high quality food and friendly service in a cozy and inviting setting . The pecan crusted salmon was delicious! My husband had the Branzino, which was wonderful.

I drove all the way from Delaware—about a 2-hour trip—just to try this place after it was highly recommended to me, and let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it. Hands down, the best pasta I’ve ever had—and that’s saying something, because I’ve been to Italy and had some incredible pasta there.
This spot is truly a hidden gem in Staten Island. It’s family-owned, and you can feel the genuine care and hospitality from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is fantastic, and the food is out of this world.
There’s a reason they have a 5-star rating. It’s well-deserved, and I’ll definitely be coming back. If you’re anywhere near the area—or even if you’re not—it’s worth the trip!

The food is so delicious and the portion sizes are generous. You can tell everything is home made. The sangria is refreshing and perfectly balanced. The service is excellent! Really just such a cozy experience. Don’t skip the beautifully made espresso or cappuccino to top off the meal!
I am from Texas and had a wonderful experience here. The food is outstanding and the ambiance quiet and sweet. I had to come back for another meal before I went back to Texas.

This was our second time going to Mello Bistro and just like our first time everything was amazing! The cocktails were right on point. Every signal thing that we ordered was sheer perfection . The grilled octopus was so tender. The homemade gnocchi was so light. The stuffed pork chop was delicious. .Along with the sesame crusted tuna and the filet of sole. Not to mention the delicious desserts. (Sorry I didn’t take pictures) The owner Zu was so gracious and also her husband who we got a chance to meet. We enjoy going out to eat and I do have to say This is one of my favorite restaurants on Staten Island. Cant wait to go back!😊

I just discovered Mello Bistro on Staten Island — a cozy and charming little restaurant with seating designed mainly for 2 to 4 people. The food was good and the service was friendly and attentive. A perfect spot for a casual date or quiet meal with a friend..
If I had to deduct any points, it would be for the room temperature. It was quite warm during my visit (early June), and the A/C hadn't been turned on yet. Hopefully that gets addressed soon, especially as the weather heats up. I definitely will come back again!
