Worst dining experience of my life. Salad was limpPizza was blandPast was disgusting just plain disgusting.My god how how do you mess up pasta?!?
Delicious food!! Family style restaurant!!
Excellent food as well as service. The dining room is is fairly classy with a decently diverse wine list. Great place for a date night or business lunch. Highly recommend *especially if you like leftovers.
This establishment has a nice cozy warm feel to it. Its not upscale, but its also not your average sit down restaurant. The food was average priced, not too expensive. I paid close to $80 for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). This also included me having a few beers. The food was good. I will say this, the marina sauce was probably the best sauce I've ever had. If it was made from scratch, well done! They brought out crossiants to us that i didn't typically care for. I don't like hard crossiants and it seemed that they were made that morning and kept all day. I can't say that with 100% certainty. We went at a slow time and it was nice to enjoy some peace. The waiters and servers were very nice and professional. They kept our family stocked with drinks and took the plates away (you would be amazed at how many servers and waiters no longer do this). To wrap this up, I would definitely recommend trying this place if your looking for some good Italian food!
Stopped in for supper on a whim. Friendly staff. Shay was our server. She was fantastic! Good sized portions. Wife and I had Chicken Milanese, a side salad and a Caesar salad. Wife’s Caesar dressing was very good. I don’t care for Caesar but giving ‘him’ what’s due here. Will definitely consider coming here again. Great taste. Good environment.
Great service. Everyone was so nice. Unfortunately the food was very bland and did not taste good at all. The appetizers tasted like frozen food warmed up in a microwave. I do not recommend eating here. If you want some good Italian food go try Napoli's in Belton.
ROACHES walking the wall next to our table. Bread was an odd, doughy bread likely not fully proofed before baking. Chicken parm wasgood, ate before roaches appeared.
Average experience. Food was kinda bland. 2 of 4 meals the family had was unsatisfied with taste. Meals were spaghetti and meatballs and shrimp scampi. Good service and friendly staff. Would be willing to give this place a second change if I'm back in the area.
Overpriced and average. Their “garlic knots” are basically uncooked pieces of dough and they charge you for sauce! You’d be outta business in NY! Pizza is awful. Wish it was better because I’d like to support local but I love Italian too much to rate this any better.
I never write reviews but after today i had to. This is by far the most non professional, bland tasting food. I was given a sweet tea after asking for a UNsweetened. Was given a salad with no dressing. Lasagna was only cheese and sauce no meat. Could hear the only staff working loudly playing around in the kitchen to which the cook on duty told the server "dont rush me, when its in the window its ready". Server stayed sitting down whole time and didnt ask if we needed anything or ask how anything was during or after. We only came here because little italy was closed but this was definitely a waste of time and money.

I don't remember anytime that I gave five stars to any restaurant based solely on their food. But you could give five stars for everything that this place is, including their food! You will not find better Italian food, close to this location. The Alfredo is probably the best I've ever had. And their desserts are out of this world and it all comes at a very reasonable price. I never pass this corner without looking over and I'm always wishing I had time to stop. Their food is in good time, but not rushed. I would only change one thing and that they would at least consider putting veal on the menu. But I understand and they get a pass because the food is so tasty ?. Five stars even without the veal?
I picked up my carryout order from Ari's and got home before I realized they had forgotten to give me the salads. Unfortunate, but not a big deal. I gave them a call to try to get a refund for the price of the salads. The young man who answered asked if I would like to drive back to pick up the salads. I said not really, and he asked if I'd like to speak to a manager. I said yes please. He put me on hold for about 5 minutes and then I was hung up on. I hope the few bucks they stole from me for the salads were worth losing a repeat customer over. Giving credit where it's due, the food is pretty good when you get all of it.
I’m not sure what is going on with this restaurant maybe they were just having a bad day? I ordered piccata with shrimp instead of chicken and it was awful. Swimming in oil and really weird because there was also Alfredo sauce mixed in it as well. Despite the food we had to listen to the cook/owner our entire visit complaining to his staff loudly about their errors or his miscommunication it was sad. Our poor waitress who was wonderful had to apologize profusely and was clearly humiliated and embarrassed. We really want to like this place ( have been before with no complaints) but if this is the new normal then HARD pass!!
Great place to take your lady for any Holiday especially there management team and staff is awesome people. The were very patient with me and I Will recommend this eatery to anyone especially if they love Italian food.
My family loved the food at Ari's! I had the baked tortellini which had a sherry cream sauce with bacon. Amazing ?. My daughter had the triple delight which came with chicken, shrimp, and sausage and she was delighted. My husband ate the classic favorite chicken parmesan. We had never been there before but so happy we tried in. Best Italian food I've had probably ever.
