Bobby, Jeffrey Epstein's friend, loves Arturo's pizzas. I wonder if he liked it in May 25th, 2017.

Always a great meal with fresh and expertly cooked ingredients. Arturo offered us some off menu authentic Colombian empinadas and their special pasta and shellfish dish was outstanding.
Kim
Always a GREAT meal! Can not beat the attentive service and friendly staff. Arturo is always a presence - visiting all guests and making sure everyone is enjoying their meal.

Everything we had was delicious but the star of the show was the ravioli. It was New Year's Eve but the service was still great and the food all came out very timely. The specials were all sold out and we look forward to going back and trying more dishes.

Very excited to try this place, looked at menu for a long time before deciding what to have. I even purchased some canned marinara sauce they bottle for sale before leaving. I was disappointed in the creamy ravioli that is called Mama Sonia's Ravioli. It was much too heavy tasting for me, and I only ate 3 ravioli. The bread is on request, it was pretty good, I also got the truffle fries before hand. Good, but not as good as some I have had. I wish I had gotten the Fettuccine and Shrimp, it may have been better, but no one got that at my table, so I cannot be sure. Fish was popular at my table, I was told the fresh vegetables my friends had with their meal were bland. Snapper or Steak were hits at the table. I don't think I would return for round two. Service and staff great, restrooms clean and nice interior. Wine selection excellent.

We thought the food was good, and the fish was fresh. The wine was quite good. Salads were ok. Dessert was excellent. W 2x 1/2 half salads, two fish entrees, one side (truffle fries: not great, seemed frozen), 3 glasses wine and dessert the meal came to $189 w tax/gratuity included for 2 people (ie about 95/person). The owner is a warm and lovely man; waitress very nice too. While the food was good, it wasn't extraordinary, hence the 3-star instead of 4 or 5. I noticed a lot of seafood dishes in light sauces, but no bread served on table. Parking tight, be prepared to valet. I would say price certainly not cheap, but in range of being fair; this compared with recent experiences at, for example, Bar Bludhorn (food thoroughly mediocre if not worse) and Credence (food good but certainly not great) where the meals were 151/person and 182/person, respectively, and where I would caution the reader never to go unless you actually desire to be ripped off.
We were a party of 4 out to have a nice quiet meal. The restaurant is small but cozy. Service was very good. Noise level somewhat loud depending upon where/by whom you were seated. The owner immediately came over to greet us and while the personal greeting was nice, he stayed for a while and rambled and then rushed us to take our order. It was a good 10 minutes before we were asked for a drink order. We ordered the fish of the day, octopus, paella, bolognese with rigatoni, clams, and mushroom soup. The soup was sent back to be warmed, which the owner didn't appreciate and, I believe half jokingly, yelled to the kitchen to "burn it" We all agreed the food was very good (but pricey) but the constant interruptions by the owner to initiate conversation was quite annoying. One of our guests finally told him in Italian to shutup.

The food and service are excellent, but their prices went up and now it is too expensive for us.

This has been one of my favorite restaurants since it opened a dozen years ago. Their house salad is amazing with a light vinaigrette and fresh items. Also, the sautéed snapper is fantastic, with capers and lump crabmeat in a Fresca sauce. Finally, the garlic bread is very tasty. Great neighborhood restaurant.

I’d known about this place for a while but never got around to trying it—and I honestly regret waiting so long. The food is absolutely DELICIOUS, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
