• American • Arlington

The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

Claudio Pirollo grew up in Belgium where he soon discovered his passion for cooking as he wandered around his father’s fine Italian épicerie (grocery store) and watched his mother prepare dinner every day. The dual influence of Italy and Belgium triggered Chef Pirollo’s aspirations to develop his knowledge and experience with different flavors.A Trattoria is not a pizzeria, it is an Italian-style eating establishment that is generally much less formal than a ristorante but more formal than an osteria. It is similar to what the French call Bistrot.Trattorias are traditionally family owned, casual, rustic neighborhood restaurants found throughout all of Italy that offer fresh, regional, local and family specialties on the menu.

The food was delicious, although much of the food that was supposed to be hot came out luke warm or room temp. That’s the only reason I gave the food 4 stars. I’d go back for sure!

For a treat to yourself go to Claudio's Table, a little pricey as everything down to the bread is a la carte...however, it is excellent! My short ribs were perfect and my mom's branzino was grilled to a moist and delectable turn....be ready to spend >$100 for two and save room for dessert.

The food was excellent and the service was great. Ruthies is very noisy making it somewhat hard to hear the server and talk at the table. It is still a wonderful restaurant and one of my favorites in Arlington.

I had a wonderful experience at Earls Kitchen and Bar. The Cajan salmon and truffle fries were absolutely delicious, and the presentation was impeccable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal, even though we were a large party of 16! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy good food. I highly recommend Earls Kitchen and will definitely be coming back!
