I've been to Marco twice this year, and eaten at Arturo's both times. It delivers on both the food and the service. I live in Chicago, so I'm used to pretty good Italian food, and the food at Arturo's holds its own. I had the Gnocchi Nepolitano, my wife had the linguini with claims, and my in-laws both had the Red Snapper Francias. All of the meals were excellent (and the ladies also particularly liked the key lime martinis!) Although I'm not generally a fan of fried calamari, I sneaked some of my wife's appetizer, and that was also pretty good.
The service was excellent (our server was Steve) -- informative, and fast (but not "hurry up and get out" fast). The outside decor was a little cheesy -- I know it's Christmas, but the 20 foot tree and two giant stuffed white teddy bears are a little much -- but at least that ended at the front door.
The bottom line is that we'll be going back to Arturo's when we head back to Marco next year.
