Mello Bistro

I selected Mello Bistro based on its reviews and they were spot on! The quaint restaurant whose owners are the chef and manager, was just lovely. I chose them because of their location to the St. George theater as we had tickets to a show. There were 5 of us and we loved everything we ordered! The appetizers were great, especially the grilled octopus - one of the best we've ever had! The entrees were excellent and good size portions. The chicken parm was the size of the platter and the braised short ribs everyone had to try! They fell right off the bone! The desserts were divine! Especially loved the apple tart! We live over 1 hour away, but we would definitely go back and visit! I highly recommend!

Great cozy restaurant with a warm atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious — the fried calamari was very fresh, the grilled octopus was perfectly cooked and served at the right temperature, and the stuffed pork chops are a must-try — very tender and full of flavor. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place worth visiting! 😊

My first visit to Mello Bistro. We had a nice get together for a bday for about 14 people. The atmosphere was pleasant, cozy and very welcoming. Everyone enjoyed their dishes from appetizers to main courses. A full bar with exotic drinks. The family that owns the place is very pleasant and accommodating. If you're looking for a nice dinner and or a get together spot on the island this is a pleasant place to do it at. They do have a party room in the back for 40 ppl as i've learned later on. So you can have a bigger get together as well. Enjoy this find on staten island.

I recently hosted a party in the back room, and everything was absolutely amazing! The team was so organized and easy to communicate with leading up to the event. Setting up and decorating went incredibly smoothly, and the dinner itself was phenomenal. The chef and wait staff were extremely attentive and incredibly kind. Everything turned out even better than I could have imagined. i wish i had more pictures to share to show about nice the back room was. I will definitely be back and will be recommending this place to everyone!

The atmosphere is wonderful with perfect service, the food is incredible, and the dishes and flavors are the best in NYC. I highly recommend it because the chefs are true culinary artists.
