We enjoyed our first visit to Arturo's which is presumably is one of the few remaining authentic old-fashioned Italian Restaurants on the Upper East Side. My wife's cousin, Joseph Drago, recommended this restaurant and noted that he was friends with the Chef and owner Joseph Napolitano, who took over the business started by and named after his father. The dish selection that we chose, which we enjoyed very much, had the feel of that Old Italian neighborhood restaurants which I experienced as a young lad in NYC. We look forward to our next many visits to this UES Italian Restaurant.
Absolutely delish with an attentive staff that wasn't too pushy or intrusive when I had it for my birthday (though I didn't tell them it was my birthday). I even got a suggestion on what to eat that wouldn't mess up my mouth (the lasagna is awesome) and the tiramisu is yummy as well. Definitely the kind of Italian place I like & it was affordable with some class to it. I'd come back & maybe have some company.
The East End of the Upper East End is a total mystery to me, so when I left a book party with the SO and her group of friends, I whipped out the trusty Yelp app for a local suggestion. There popped Arturo's a block away, so off we went.
Arturo's is a white-sauce, Northern-leaning Italian in the tradition of other "New York City Italian" eaters (in some cases, dinosaurs). The service was old-school but not fancy, and the food was about the same. I had the meat tortellini served in a cream sauce, a starchy dish I rarely get. This time, it soaked up a previous gin martini (laced with absinthe) nicely.
The prices are steep given the good but not great quality of the food, but if you live in the neighborhood, this could be a place glad to have you as a regular. And the stuffed veal dishes did look appetizing.
Arturo's is outstanding. The service is over the top good. While I literally had my overwater filled after nearly every sip, the food is something to rave about.
I tried the stuff chicken breast, which was actually amazing. The bread comes out hot, not even warm. The ambiance is quiet, classy, nice and simple. The menu is also extensive.
So impressed. Taking my Italian family here when they come to visit me next.
