The Place for Seafood
Reviewed by 99Petro99 on 2010-02-09T07:47:30Z

Hands down, without a doubt, the best snapper I have ever eaten. I know this is an Italian place and someday I am going to try some of the other dishes, but for now this is my place for fish. You know how it is, you find something you like and that's all you order. The snapper is perfectly cooked and the lemon caper sauce is light and delicate to perfectly accompany the fish. My wife doesn't eat fish and she enjoys the pasta, so I will try that -someday. The staff couldn't be nicer.

Pros: Service, parking, attitude

Cons: Nary a one, yet.

Italian Par Execellent
Reviewed by SirAlan on 2009-11-19T04:55:04Z

The food here is quite good. No gimmicks, no silly architectural stacking, just tasty Italian dishes. We reccommend the fish and the Osso Buco when they have it (weekend special). Pasta like they make it in Italy. The wine list is five or six pages and excellent. They had a weekly special and we got a Barolo, normally $125 for $95. Our waiter was savvy and helpful. All the tables were full as was the bar, and the room had a hum, but somehow the noise wasn't overwhelming and we were able to converse comfortably. I wish other places would learn this secret. Arturo's is lovely and with a beautiful stone columned patio. We felt very comfortable there. We just moved back from New York and Arturo's is the standard we will judge all other restaurants by. Highly recommended. Oh, and ample parking. We love this place.

Pros: Food, wine list, noise level

Cons: Yet to be found

Cool Place in Hot Town
Reviewed by Pearls on 2009-07-12T16:19:42Z

I found this place tucked away in the back of Uptown Park. We ate pastas our first couple of visits and then discovered the seafood. While the pasta is certainly good (get the margarita pasta with olive oil and garlic), the seafood is as good as can be. Red snapper with grilled shrimp is the best. By the way, they will make your pasta dish with whole wheat pasta if you ask, but we are stuck on the fish for now. We eat out a lot, and I think Arturo's is our favorite. They are totally on every detail. I can't think of anything they aren't good at, except that Sunday Brunch.

Pros: Great Seafood

Cons: No Sunday Brunch
