Arturo's should be listed as Number One
here on TripAdvisor.
On our trip we dined there two times and it
was great. Delicious food, friendly service,
and warm ambiance makes it wonderful
evening out.
The owners stopped by to make sure
everything was Ok.
We wished that we could bring them home,
so we could visit them all the time.
AAAA++++
Arturo's was packed when we went on a Friday night. We had a table outside, under the tent and it was nice. The service was excellent. Our waiter stayed on top of things.
I thought the food was ok, but nothing to rave about. I ordered a seafood marinara and there was TONS of seafood and a little pasta (which was fine with me). I guess I just didn't think the sauce was good.
Overall, I'm not so sure I'd go back there....maybe I would just order something else.
I see what all the fuss was about. Excellent food. Wonderful staff, from server to hostess. The manager made rounds and asked everyone how their meal was (little things like that!) Took our children and we're very warmly welcomed by staff. Only drawback: The average age in the resturant was 85 years old. Patrons were shocked it was 8 pm and we "still" had our children out!
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.
I enjoyed this restaurant so much I wanted to return before leaving the island. I had succulent shrimp with pasta. My hubby thoroughly enjoyed my entree. He had chicken marsala with pasta also very good. The staff and the service was excellent. I look forward to visiting Arturo's again. You deserve to be number 1!
