Arno Ristorante serves tasty Northern Italian specialties in the heart of the Garment District. We are only a few blocks from Madison Square Garden and the Theater District.
"Had a 12pm reservation, arrived 12:15 with one less person, no problems. Sat immediately. Dining room was mostly empty but filled up quickly around 12:30pm."

"My wife and son had an early dinner at Arno last Saturday. Nevertheless, there was a constant churning of parties entering and leaving the area (near the bar), and even more noise in other ares from a play and dancing below that it was impossible to relax. The wine list is very expensive and based on our sampling by the glass overpriced. The food varied from slightly over-cooked swordfish to wonderful baked mozzarella. While the service was very attentive, it did not compensate for the bustle around us and the variable food quality."

"Eko Eko our waiter was very good. Food was great. Only negative was service was very quick, total meal time with appys was less than an hour. We were not rushed to leave the table just wished the food service was slower."

"Arno was a pleasant dining experience. My swordfish pasta special was delicious. My husband's Grouper was a little lackluster. We also had a mozzarella caprese equivalent appetizer and it was decent, although not outstanding. The ricotta cheesecake for dessert was decent as well, but not particularly memorable. All in all, a decent dining experience. We wouldn't have come here without a Resturant.com coupon as the tab was a little steep, especially with the wine. However, I should mention that our waiter was one of the best ones I've ever had. He really made our dining experience above average. Quite the personality."

"My trip into the city began with lunch at Arno's. My daughter & I were welcomed like family! The wine recommendation was spot on. Food is terrific (veal saltimbucca!) with thoughtful presentation. And the staff is right there but not overwhelming. We felt like movie stars!"

"Had a business lunch. Food was great as always. Service was a bit slow as it took quite awhile to get our appetizers but overall it was a very good experience."

"I have been going to Arno for years. Although some may not consider it as "hip" or "trendy" (two things you cannot eat) as some other NYC Italian restaurants, Arno is to my mind one of the best in the city. The ambience is real. The food is always great. The service is friendly and the waiters are very knowledgeable and helpful. One of the members of my party asked for one of the specials to be prepared with different ingredients and it was done without hesitation -- and perfectly.
I have never had a bad meal at Arno and I don't expect that I ever will. Put this place on your short list. You won't be disappointed."

"Hadn't been in several years, but wasn't disappointed. Decor has changed for the better, and the Italian food is just as good. Separation of the dining room from the bar makes for an enjoyable experience for all concerned. Wait staff is very attentive without being intrusive; their suggestions are straight-forward and honest."

"This is the fourth year in a row we have visited Arno while in NYC. The food is wonderful and comforting, the ambiance is cozy, and we love our waiter, Desi. He has waited on us each time and is very knowledgable of the menu and gives wonderful suggestions. And he sings! Makes us girls feel very special. We also appreciate their participation in Restaurant.com because it allows us to enjoy dinner on a budget."

"Went for lunch because of the location and was very pleasantly surprised by the ambiance, the service and most especially the food. Our dishes tasted as delicious as they smelled. Our only disappointment is that we didn't have the time or the room to try anything from the beautiful looking desert cart, but we will when we return next time."

"We had eaten here many years ago and then were unable to re-find it. Thankfully that changed recently and we were able to get back there on our recent trip to the Big Apple. As expected, it was great."

"The wait staff was the best I have come across in quite a while, courteous, exceeded expectations. One of the waiters did magic trick when presenting the check but it was very tasteful. He also sang in Italian. I would definitely go there again when visiting New York. The food was slightly about average, no pasta on the 2 meals served at my table even though I requested it. I think that there was a language barrier. But don't let that stop you from going to Arno Ristorante."

"We went prior to an event at MSG, which is a few blocks away. The service was excellent and the waiter was helpful in sorting through the specials, providing advice and steering us to the shrimp and calamari salad, veal rollatini, and chicken paillard specials. All werre great. They were out of our first wine choice, but Carlos, the sommelier, substituted a superb Super Tuscan and was very attentive and engaging. Definitely going back."

"Arno was a wonderful treat for us since we had never eated there before. Our waiter Boris was patient,helpful in explaining various dishes on the menu and very attentive. The restaurant does have N.Y. prices but we expected that. The salad and entres were excellant and I would recommend Arno to anyone looking for really good Italian food."

"This was a surprising find. The location just below Times Square makes it a perfect place to have dinner before seeing a Broadway show. The food was very good but the best part of the night was the waiter. He was so friendly, funny and energetic. We had a great time."
