“ Family of five with teenagers. We sat in the Courtyard by ourselves but our waiter was very attentive. The food was excellent. Very fresh and tasted authentic. Would highly recommend. ”
“ Food was excellent. Service was nice but we felt rushed due to the expected large party in our same area. Ambiance normally probably is great but had a huge party in the same room with little kids so it wasn't as relaxing as we'd hoped. I really don't understand why we weren't put in another room since I made the reservation well in advance? I will give them another try but I really was a bit disappointed considering that they knew it was a special occasion and I gave them much needed advance notice. I didn't like being rushed to order so that the waiter could handle the large group. We were in and out drinks, dinner, dessert & coffee for a special birthday (5 people) an hour and a half. And no patrons were waiting for tables since this was a later reservation. ”
“ Always pleased with Arturo's Bistro. Everyone in our party of 6 was enjoyed their meal, and the service was great. Make a reservation, because sometimes they fill up fast. ”
“ Elegant and classy was my first impression as soon as I walked in. We are on vacation and followed my navigation to get here. We were driving around in circles until I finally called. We were right in front of the place however the recent Milton hurricane took the outside lights out. Incredible! I felt so bad but the manager actually saw my car and directed me right into the place. He said I wasn't the only one who was faced with this problem. Pablo was our waiter. He's fabulous and so sweet. He brought over their homemade bread which is warmed and crusty: out of this world. Then all the entrees include soup or salad. We both chose the delicious and hot Manhattan clam chowder. I totally enjoyed the Zuppa de Pece packed with clams, mussels, large shrimp and scallops and Calimari and salmon in a tomato sauce over linguini. Amazing dish! Paul had the rack of lamb With potatoes and mixed vegetables. He was enjoying every morsel. We absolutely had no room for dessert tonight but hope to try on a return trip. Pablo was telling us that this business is a family owned business for 35 years. It's multi generational. They are waiting for the grandson to come back from college to learn the business and take over eventually. They know good food and how to run a business. ”
“ Arturo's was a real treat! The new location offers seating inside and outside, and has plenty of parking (since all the offices in the building are closed by the time the restaurant opens...very smart). We ate outside on a somewhat cool night, but they had the umbrellas up and the heaters on, so it was comfy. Our server was fantastic, keeping things moving for our large group. We started with some wine and cocktails while we looked over the menu and considered the specials, which has a ton of Italian options. Half of us opted for the Grouper Island Style, and the others ordered other seafood specialties. I got the Shrimp Francese over Linguini, and loved it! Portions are nicely sized, which is appreciated given the entree range is between $30 - $45. But each entree comes with soup or house salad, and warm bread. We'll be back! ”
“ What a beautiful new location inside, but the exterior entrance paths to the office building courtyard need to be better marked to direct you to the entrance. Big new bar with live entertainment. The Calamari app was delicious- fresh and fried lightly breaded with just the right marinara sauce. I was glad to see they had ice cold non alcohol beer for my wife, and a Moretti Beer for me. Service from Juan was excellent. There are 7 tables in the back room, one of them needs to be removed so diners can sit more comfortably. The linguine with Broccoli Rabe was Al dente with tender sautéed broccoli rabe and garlic. Nice sized bowl. The stuffed pork chop with mushroom brown gravy was tender and cheesy. Fresh vegetables were not overcooked I do wish the stuffed pork chop would be offered with a simpler presentation perhaps just EVVO, rosemary and garlic, wine and broth. Or a stuffed Veal Chop. Lastly, I'd ask that a customer can order meat/fish entrees with roasted brown small potatoes or wild rice instead of mashed potatoes. ”
“ It was our first time at Arturo's new location off Collier Blvd and Bald Eagle Drive. The new location is much larger and nicely decorated. It has a big bar area and plenty of seating. We started the evening with cocktails and the special carpaccio appetizer. Cocktails were perfectly prepared. The carpaccio was beautifully presented and very delicate and tasteful. Our mains included Arturo's famous pork chop and the scallop pasta. Both entrees were huge. The pasta was al denté, included a delicate balance of cream and truffle oil accompanied with delicate tender juicy scallops. The pork chop was delicious with a creamy Marsala mushroom sauce, mashed potatoes and tender beans. We completed our meal with a delicious Amaretto cheesecake. We would definitely recommend Arturo's for their quality food and great hospitality and service. ”
“ We were 6 on a Friday night during season and had a reservation. Parking lot is tight. We were seated promptly and service was great. I started with the tomato bisque which was good.l; not super creamy but great flavor. Next came the nights special stuffed pork chop with prosciutto and mozzarella in a marsala sauce. I substituted penne with the marsala sauce for the potatoes and veggies. Very filling. We were all too stuffed for dessert. I would definitely return to try other menu items. ”
