There are few culinary reasons to visit Medford, a town that’s not exactly known as a gastronomic destination. Bistro 5 is the exception. The creation of chef-owner Vittorio Ettore, Bistro 5 has an intimate feel and hip (without being pretentious) décor. These stylish surroundings are a perfect complement to Ettore’s food, from a menu that changes frequently but always highlights a cross section of international influences. Start with the baby eggplant stuffed with roasted pepper, thyme, and goat cheese, or indulge in the veal Milanese, a fine adaptation of the domestic favorite served over sage-garlic mashed potatoes. For good value, check out one of the restaurant’s multicourse wine dinners.

I was heading to Medford from Boston so I decided to look up places to eat in Medford that would be nearby. The Bistro 5 came up and we gave it a shot- it looked nice and was well-reviewed. I have to say, this was the best new find ever! The food was amazing! Presentation exquisite, service great, food fast but delicious! I had a peachy tomato creation off the tasting menu for dessert and I can't explain how good it was. The basil yogurt gelato it was paired with was a bit weird to think about but tasted like heaven with the thin layers of phyllo and tomato. My dinner was no less perfect. I had the mushroom truffled gnocchi. It was by far the bet gnocchi I have had. I highly, highly recommend this place!

I've written the chef of Bistro 5 directly, which was a first for me. I simply had to let him know that my experience there was beyond amazing. The entire staff were friendly and well-informed. And the creativity of the Prix Fixe menu surpassed any gastronomic experience I've ever had... EVER. Take the commuter train, drive, do what you have to do to get to Bistro 5 and try for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
