    Waited 45 minutes to sit down after a reservation, but on Valentine’s Day expected a little wait but not that long. Then we got the manager as our server, he showed up once and didn’t bring our food out and didn’t ask how any of it was. All in all just no real service food was great but not worth the wait or the money.

    Took over an hour to get our food. Even with a set Valentine’s menu, we ordered first out of the 5 tables around us, and 4 tables were done with their food before we even got ours. It was our first time and we were pretty disappointed.

    This is another “find.” The ambience is fabulous, the waiters extremely filling our every need, and the food scrumptious! It was also nice because it wasn’t as loud as some of the other restaurants are when they are crowded.

    We loved our first dining experience at Bistro Arancini. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable and service friendly and efficient. We started with the arancini and glass of the Barolo. Highly recommend both! Then we moved on to the minestrone soup and Caesar salad, which were both good. For dinner, we tried the linguini vongole and Tuscan chicken and liked them both very much. Bistro Arancini hit it out of the park, and we will definitely return.

    We went for a birthday party and we had a wonderful time. Service did not rush us and it was a most enjoyable event.
