“ Overall a great experience, the place is small but comfortable and easy to find. The staff is excellent. Immediate service, while it was really busy during the time I went, the service was still great. The food! Wow! The Papas bravas, the camarones as must haves! The wood fire stove dinner rolls are simply amazing. We had the rigatoni and the ravioli, simply delicious. Finally you must finish off with the sorbet that is homemade, both the mango and the raspberry are delicious. Chef Arturo makes his rounds and ensures that all visitors are happy. The only thing I would say, the valet asked for a tip. That seems odd, while yes you get a tip as a person in the service industry should never request one. ”
“ My wife and I went to celebrate our wedding anniversary... It was great! Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, large wine selection, flavorful food. Chef Arturo is doing an excellent job. ”
“ The food is AMAZING!!!! The service is fantastic!!! I ordered the salmon and I wish it came with a side or something but it was delectable . Compliments to the CHEF! Also for the amount of people we had I feel like the bill was pretty decently priced. I would definitely Recommend this establishment ”
“ Dear foodie readers, a new review, I have been a little off my game...a lot going on, but let’s get to why you are reading this...Arturo Boada...nestled on del monte street in in the briar grove area...unfortunately the facade doesn’t do it justice, but I felt it added to the charm of the whole experience...it’s a small space, I recommend reservations...we were welcomed by the super friendly staff...once we sat down, we took in the vibe...I loved that it was just a tad old school...nothing over the top...and honestly no need for fancy, because his food is fantastic. We started with delicious garlic bread, along with the sauteed calamari....yes you read that correctly...sauteed, and let me tell you, wayyyy better than fried....the garlic and oil sauce was beyond amazing, we wanted to dab anything we could in it, it was that good. We also had the ceviche, was excellent as well. Our entrees next, I had one of specials, it was branzino with crab on top, sheer perfection. Simple no frills, and paired with some veggies...my husband got the tuna, and enjoyed it as well. My kids loved their steak and pasta. We then ordered dessert, 3 of them, we couldn’t resist, I was celebrating my anniversary so why not. In house pistachio gelato, apple tart, and flourless chocolate cake...can’t say which was my favorite, they were all wonderful. The best part is Arturo comes and visits his guests, very hospitable man. Thank you for a great evening. ”
