Very excited to try this place, looked at menu for a long time before deciding what to have. I even purchased some canned marinara sauce they bottle for sale before leaving. I was disappointed in the creamy ravioli that is called Mama Sonia’s Ravioli. It was much too heavy tasting for me, and I only ate 3 ravioli. The bread is on request, it was pretty good, I also got the truffle fries before hand. Good, but not as good as some I have had. I wish I had gotten the Fettuccine and Shrimp, it may have been better, but no one got that at my table, so I cannot be sure. Fish was popular at my table, I was told the fresh vegetables my friends had with their meal were bland. Snapper or Steak were hits at the table. I don’t think I would return for round two. Service and staff great, restrooms clean and nice interior. Wine selection excellent.

I’d known about this place for a while but never got around to trying it—and I honestly regret waiting so long. The food is absolutely DELICIOUS, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.

If I could give more than 5 stars for service and food, I would. Small intimate place. They put the heart in this business. Top notch!

My husband and I absolutely recommend you try Arturo’s! The Chef Owner occasionally walks through and greet each table.
Everything on the menu is delicious. We have literally tried everything on their menu!
The food and service are consistently excellent. Great wine selection, desserts and knowledgeable staff.

The food is AMAZING!!!! The service is fantastic!!! I ordered the salmon and I wish it came with a side or something but it was delectable . Compliments to the CHEF! Also for the amount of people we had I feel like the bill was pretty decently priced. I would definitely Recommend this establishment

Dear foodie readers, a new review, I have been a little off my game…a lot going on, but let’s get to why you are reading this…Arturo Boada…nestled on del monte street in in the briar grove area…unfortunately the facade doesn’t do it justice, but I felt it added to the charm of the whole experience…it’s a small space, I recommend reservations…we were welcomed by the super friendly staff…once we sat down, we took in the vibe…I loved that it was just a tad old school…nothing over the top…and honestly no need for fancy, because his food is fantastic. We started with delicious garlic bread, along with the sautéed calamari….yes you read that correctly…sautéed, and let me tell you, wayyyy better than fried….the garlic and oil sauce was beyond amazing, we wanted to dab anything we could in it, it was that good. We also had the ceviche, was excellent as well. Our entrees next, I had one of specials, it was branzino with crab on top, sheer perfection. Simple no frills, and paired with some veggies…my husband got the tuna, and enjoyed it as well. My kids loved their steak and pasta. We then ordered dessert, 3 of them, we couldn’t resist, I was celebrating my anniversary so why not. In house pistachio gelato, apple tart, and flourless chocolate cake…can’t say which was my favorite, they were all wonderful. The best part is Arturo comes and visits his guests, very hospitable man. Thank you for a great evening.

Overall a great experience, the place is small but comfortable and easy to find. The staff is excellent. Immediate service, while it was really busy during the time I went, the service was still great. The food! Wow! The Papas bravas, the camarones as must haves! The wood fire stove dinner rolls are simply amazing. We had the rigatoni and the ravioli, simply delicious. Finally you must finish off with the sorbet that is homemade, both the mango and the raspberry are delicious. Chef Arturo makes his rounds and ensures that all visitors are happy.
The only thing I would say, the valet asked for a tip. That seems odd, while yes you get a tip as a person in the service industry should never request one.

First visit to this gem…veal ravioli was on par… Absolutely delectable. The chicken rigatoni was full of rustic flavor that surpassed all my expectations. Definitely a repeat is necessary.
