The service and food were good. However, I would caution you before trying this place. $26 for a pasta dish without any protein? They also charge you $3 for soda and no free refills. They don't tell you that, though. I didn't find that out until my check came. So that can run up your tab quickly. The bread was delicious. It's served warmed with whipped butter infused with rosemary.

I’ve been hearing about Arturo’s for quite a while because my dad works nearby and is a regular for lunch, so my fiancé made a visit out for dinner! We didn’t realize that the chef had been the head chef at Tre Scalini for years and that the menu here featured a variety of both Mexican and Italian dishes - so cool! One of the things that stood out most to us here were the Mexican meatballs, which we really enjoyed! I liked that depending on which entree you order, you either get an Italian or Mexican side salad. The veal parm was fantastic, and the lamb birria was very good and even had a little kick! Great cocktails, desserts, and Mexican chocolate. The food came out quickly, and the chef/owner made an effort to come to tables and check in with those dining in his restaurant. I thought the ambiance was really nice too. I hear they have great brunch, so that just gives me another excuse to visit again!

The dining area was cute and cozy. I gave the atmosphere three stars because it was really hot and loud. I ordered the pan seared salmon with risotto. The salmon was good but the risotto was lacking in flavor. The portions were large. For such a small restaurant I was surprised at the lack of attention from the waitress. She never came to refill our waters and seemed annoyed when we didn't order right away. The owner came to our table to check on us which was a really nice touch.

1st time here. Was looking online for somewhere new to have breakfast and Arturos popped up so we decided to try it. WOW!! The breakfast tacos were amazing! Can not wait to go back and try out the rest of the menu. Atmosphere and staff were very inviting. Great place!

Food both times was amazing. We tried Italian first and Mexican the second time and all guests raved about their meals! If you haven't tried it yet, it is a must!

This was our first time at Arturo’s restaurant. We loved it, food was fantastic the chicken parmigiana and chicken piccata were outstanding. We dine at lots of great upscale italian restaurants, and this one is on point! It does have a Spanish flare so we got the chips with fresh salsa and guacamole as an app , it was so fresh the chips were freshly fried the salsa were fresh tomatoes.We will definitely return. This is certainly a hidden gem ,as it’s not in the middle of downtown Branford, but it was fantastic. Arturo is an amazing chef!
