Arte Cafe is an old favorite. The food is good, the service as well. Unfortunately because it’s so crowded, it was noisy.

Outstanding time with friends. Great vibes and delicious entrees. Always enjoy my experience at Arte Cafe. The restaurant had been closed for a huge event and they were able to turn around in no time and serve a completely house! Amazing. Staff all pitched to assist each other.

Went by to have dinner before a show at the Beacon. We had never been but it was close. The server was knowledgeable and friendly. The food was terrific! Sadly my daughter was not feeling well and only had a salad but even that was tasty. We will make this our before Beacon spot from now on.

Great neighborhood joint. Loved the atmosphere in the bar and met some nice people there. We also enjoyed the chicken parm, chicken piccata and the meatballs. Caesar salad decent, not outstanding.
