    Great neighborhood place. Food always delicious. Prices reasonable. Good menu. Relaxing dinner place. They could use one more server. Altho it is a small place.

    What a lovely gem of a restaurant ! Since finding Arco this past summer we have been back repeatedly. The Sardinian take on Italian food is perfect as is the Sardinian wine they feature. We will be back often with friends.

    Whenever we come to Manhattan, Arco Cafe is a scheduled stop. The service is impeccable and the food is absolutely delicious. Even the wine list is good, with a variety of Italian wines at reasonable prices. We love the cozy atmosphere as well.
