Arena Patio Restaurant

Food is excellent and diverse options are available (from Vietnamese to a burger or salad, last time they even had homemade corned beef). More bar than restaurant, but that's changing rapidly. Excellent prices as well.

Eclectic menu. While not extensive, there is variety with daily specials. We started with the dumplings and chili with beans. Dumplings and sauce for dipping quite flavorful in the best way. The chili was not too hot, and a hot sauce offered we we wanted more heat. The pasta and red was plentiful and delicious.

South End classic favorites you can't get anywhere else anymore. Order the fried long hot Italian peppers with the garlic, olive oil, and Italian cheese, bread that it comes with tops it off perfectly. ?
