Simply wonderful! The food was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. Our party of 5 opened with cocktails made by our server. The margarita was nicely tequila-forward and properly citrusy. The Old Fashioned was outstanding. Fresh bread got us going. The bread js in the Roman style - soft with a delightful crust and quite tasty. For appetizers, we went with the cream of crab soup, prosciutto with melon, and arugula salad. All were EXCELLENT! The cream of crab is to die for. We then moved on to pork chops, sea bass and the whole branzino, which the server expertly fillets at the table! Again, perfectly prepared and served with original sauces that seamlessly complemented and even enhanced the already scrumptious dishes. With little room left for dessert, we finished with Hazelnut cheese cake (divine) and cups of capuccino that blended the intensity of espresso with the softness of frothy milk and a perfect sprinkle of nutmeg. As for the service: everything was expertly timed. We had a wonderful meal and look forward to returning to Arturo's when we are back in Baltimore.

Outstanding. How did I not know about this place in my own backyard after living here for nearly 50 years? It is truly a hidden gem in every sense of the word. A secret little place with outstanding food and great service. A classy place that I will now frequent!

Arturo's never disappoints. Best cuisine in the area. Very creative chefs. The smoked pork belly over Yuca and pickled cabbage and onions was Devine. Their pastas are great And nothing beats the surf and turf.
Joyce
There 4 of us and we each ordered something different . All of the meals were absolutely delicious . Grilled calamari appetizer a must !
Maria
As usual, fabulous specials; including baked oysters with crab meat and bearnaise sauce. Wonderful service, wine and atmosphere. Will be back soon!
Traci
Every experience here is better than the last! The food amazing and the staff is incredible!
Mark
We are repeat diners and continue to experience the very best Italian cuisine here. The service is very professional yet extremely friendly and helpful. The ambience is quiet/comfortable which permits good conversation. Excellent restaurant

Arturo's never disappoints. We drive from Columbia to have dinner there. The food is superb. The wait staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and kind. When we commended one of the staff (who was not our primary server) he told us that every customer is all of their customers. Our only complaint is that they don't have a restaurant in Columbia. If you haven't been there, you are really missing a dining experience.

Service, presentation, and food were all incredible. Our waiter's food and wine selections were spot on and perfect.
Overall, this was a very nice meal. The portions were sizable, and the food was very well cooked and seasoned. The servers were attentive and got our orders correctly. It's a little overpriced for Glen Burnie, but I would definitely come back.

Adonis was a great server. Food was well prepared and delicious. Good value for the money.

Our waiter Adonis was perfection. My husband had the Caesar and the grilled whole Branzino and I had the Carpaccio di manzo and gnocchi with gorgonzola. All courses and cocktails were fabulous. As I told Nick, the owner last night-we don't know if we could find better food even in New York or DC and we feel so lucky that it's 10 minutes from out house! Also shout out to Viktor who prepares and delivers the food to the table-He's amazing!

The food and wine at this hidden gem always exceed expectations. The physical space is modest and does not lead you to expect the high end cuisine and creative culinary skill exemplified in the specials menu and overall. The value is appropriate for the high quality ingredients in a less pricey physical space than a marquis destination dining restaurant would usually have, which I think is why this is such a hidden treasure. The service is attentive, knowledgable and friendly. The environment is welcoming and casual while offering true fine dining fare. Even the snobbiest wine aficionados will find great bottles and values on this list. Selfishly I hope enough people find and value this place to ensure that it stays vibrant and successful, but not so many that it makes it too hard to get in. It is worth the trip from anywhere. I do wish the entrees came with pasta - even plain pasta - instead of potatoes, but we typically just order a pasta entree for the table to share if we want a starch. I am not a potato fan and would rather just have the protein and the vegetables.

We've eaten here a number of times and last night was no exception. We started with delicious cocktails - a great margarita for me and vodka cranberry for husband. Appetizers were the delicious mozzarella en carrozza with anchovy sauce. Not always listed on the menu but the chef made it for us. And the escargot. I had the double cut lamb chops rolled in pistachio nuts served with a sauce, mashed potatoes and zucchini. Yummy. Husband had a penne pasta dish with sausage peppers onion tomatoes. Dessert was pineapple upside down cake with cappuccino. It was all delicious, service was great.
