Arturo's

Arturos is an amazing restaurant with an appetizing menu. The owner knows everyone and makes sure to greet new customers.

A friend recommended “Arturos” to our group while visiting NYC because they “have great live music, service & food”. It was immediately obvious we were at the wrong location because the restaurant is extremely small so there is no room for live music. We decided to just give it a shot because the food looked like it would be good but the experience started bad & just got worse. When we were seated, we were asked what we wanted to drink, we asked for a drink menu & were told “we have wine & all liquors” but no description or specials were offered. (no drink menu was ever provided) In the 50 minutes we were there, we were approached by the wait staff three times total. (the 3rd time was when we asked for our check) The first time was when we were seated, the second time (~25 minutes later) we were asked for our drink order, as my friend was ordering, the waiter WALKED AWAY. At this point we felt VERY uncomfortable & unwelcome. We decided we had to leave because the restaurant clearly didn’t want us to be there & trying to force us out. We believe that we were discriminated against because we were wearing jeans & not dressed up to their status- which is not a requirement to eat at the restaurant. Do NOT go here dressed casual if you want to be treated like a human being. The management & staff are rude & look down on you if you aren’t dressed to the nines.

Arturo’s is our favorite restaurant in Manhattan! Whether you dine indoors, their cozy outdoor dining or order delivery, the food quality and top notch service are always consistent and delicious! Don’t miss the eggplant app, roast chicken, manicotti, rigatoni bolognese and all the fish and meat dishes. Don’t hesitate to go- it’s the best!!

I live in the same building as this restaurant and what I can say, their basement full of rats and it is disgusting. Rat exterminator guy told us that dead rats was all over the food they keep in basement, and after all of that they cooks for you people. Would not go there.

My friends and I ate here on a Sunday night. We didn’t plan to go here, we arrived too late to the restaurant that we planned to go to so we looked around on google and saw Arturo’s and decided to eat here since it was near by, we didn’t have a reservation and there were still tables open. Since we didn’t plan on coming here initially, we weren’t the correct attire (sweaters and jeans), however, they sat us down anyways. I got one of the specials, the chicken Sorrentino. My friends got a carbonara dish and a veal dish. The carbonara sauce was too thick but it was overall decent. The veal dish was really good, crispy skin and tender, the sauce was flavorful, the sauce for the side pasta tasted funny however. The Sorrentino was delicious, the chicken was thin but it wasn’t dry, the mash potatoes were perfect. The atmosphere was quiet and dark. It was nice. The server was nice, the server assistants were very attentive and filled up our waters whenever they were low, however, we went late at night and we were the last few tables left. Food time wasn’t too long or short. We didn’t order dessert but when we asked for our check they gave us a few cookies on the house. It was overall a nice experience.

Comfortable Southern z Italian restaurant on Upper East Side. Food brings back memories of my childhood..Excellent!

Excellent food and friendly staff that was very patient to answer questions. Great service and nice atmosphere.

What an experience on Valentines Day. There aren’t many restaurants that treat you the way we were treated at Arturo’s. We were never rushed, waters were never half empty. The owner coming up to greet every patron. The old fashioned feel was tremendous. Cookies and champagne on the house as well. Just an amazing treat and incredible service. We started with the tomato and mozzarella. It was a tremendous blend. Next time we have to try the calamari, it looked great as well. For entrees we did the carbonara and the fettuccini. The former was the best I’ve ever tasted. The latter was definitely good, but I would recommend the carbonara over it if you’re looking to be blown away. Everything is also very reasonably priced. Overall, one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in NYC. The homey feel just adds to it. Can’t wait to be back.
