Bistro 5 has received rave reviews since its opening in May of 1999. The significant expansion of the restaurant completed in May 2002 transformed Bistro 5 from a diminutive neighborhood gem into a high-end dining experience. Chef/Owner Vittorio Ettore has been lauded by the press. But the loyal following of regular Bistro 5 patrons is perhaps its most important review.
The Boston Globe reports...
"Ettore has transformed Bistro 5 into a sophisticated dining experience with the genial atmosphere, imaginative food, and personal attention you'd find in a neighborhood gem. I only wish I'd discovered it sooner."
Boston.com... "A touch of Magic in Medford"... "It looks dark and somber. But once we slip through the door and around the corner into the dining room, it's clear there is nothing somber about Bistro 5."... "Chef Vittorio Ettore shifts his menu with the seasons"... "The sweet potato gnocchi ($24, $12 half-portion) are the stars of the evening."... "At Bistro 5, the gnocchi really do float"
Boston Magazine writes... "Bistro 5 has a small intimate feel and hip decor. These stylish environs are a perfect compliment to Ettore's food"
Zagat rates Bistro 5 among Boston's top restaurants and awards its food a 27! "An oasis of creative fine dining" "This charming bistro in West Medford has made a niche for itself with its fabulous, downtown quality northern Italian fare, artful presentations and personal care, admirers are easily won over by inventive chef-owner Vittorio Ettore, who pays attention to every detail and provides for a pampering evening".
