It's been a long time since we have eaten here. We keep hearing how it has improved so we decided to try it again. While recovering from surgery, I was not up to cooking dinner. I was craving pizza. This was the best choice in town. Our waitress, Devyn, was a joy, very attentive, and was handling several tables with real pleasantry. We ordered two galls of a Barbera and Montepulciano. Both glass were pleasing and filled full. The only downside is the glasses are small so you can't swirl for the aroma or aerate the wine. The garlic bread has a nice crust and soft center. They will also you bring you a tray if olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip it in. It's a nice umami of savory, sweet, and salty. The side Caesar Salad comes with a very tasty and traditional dressing where you can taste the anchovies and dijon mustard. The Jersey Tomato Salad is loaded with tomatoes, artichoke hearts and Kalamata olives on a bed of crispy greens. The pizza was a big hit. A perfectly thin and crispy crust, light on the cheese, chunky tomatoes instead of a traditional marinara sauce, fresh rosemary and mushrooms, and sausage with fennel. So happy we dined here. Looking forward to another meal here soon. read more

Service was not great. Waitress didn't ask about salads or appetizers. Didn't tell us about the specials. She didn't know the menu very well either. She was super loud as well. Every time I asked her about something she acted like I was strange.... I asked for bread and got a blank look. Food was ok. Avoid the bruschetta though! It was super tart with greasy bread underneath. Entrees were decent. read more

The food was excellent. The sauces in the pasta dishes were excellent! The portions were very good. The value was decent. The chef's are great, one dropped off our food, the other came to our table to confirm our satisfaction. The restaurant is laid out nicely it's not huge, so Mae a reservation. I had the Penne, with sausage. My wife had the scallops, our friends had a shrimp dish and chicken parmigiana! All the dishes looked great and tasted great. The garlic bread is excellent. For dessert the chocolate mouse was also superb. Service was good. Overall a great dinner and experience. We highly recommend Arlo's now! read more

We celebrated a milestone at Arlo's with some good friends who recommended this spot. So glad we listened and met there. The Italian food there is off the hook! We had some delicious stuffed artichoke hearts, great garlic bread, delicious house wine for the whole table and that was just to start. I had the linguini with clams and it was amazing. My son, his friend and my wife all loved what they ordered. Everyone else seemed to love their food as well. We sat indoors but near where the doors open. It was perfect. We got the indoor vibes with the outdoor freshness. We could also hear the live music out on the patio just fine, and it was good music. The server was sharp and witty not to mention super nice and helpful. Nothing bad to report about our experience here. We'll come again! Wish I remembered to take pictures. read more

We were vacationing in Sandpoint and spotted Arlo's while cruising downtown. Sandpoint is a beach town so you don't have to worry about dressing up, even for a place like Arlo's. The concierge noted our reservation and seated us quickly. However, she forgot to notify a server, so a long interval passed before she reappeared, apologizing profusely for the lapse, and took care of our table personally the rest of the evening. Even the best bistros have slips but the concierge handled it in exactly the right way. We settled in with a bottle of wine, some garlic bread and antipasti as we perused the bill of fare. The entrees were cioppino and eggplant parmesan. I was very impressed by the generous amount of seafood in the cioppino. Every element of the meals was quite tasty. You cannot do better. read more

This spot is fantastic. The owner is super friendly and talks to every customer. I was sitting at the bar by myself and he even walked me over to the see the specials menu. The food and wine is to die for. So good. I got the bruschetta and a side of burrata. The bolognese pasta- I subbed it for spaghetti noodles. But the sauce is amazing. I even added meatballs. They are big and juicy. The flavors are bomb! They are homemade I even asked. The garlic bread and wine was really good as well. Definitely worth a try read more

Cozy atmosphere, friendly, attentive staff, and delicious food. Our waitress was very sweet and helped us decide on the perfect meal. We loved the antipasto, Caesar Salad (the dressing was perfect) and our pasta dishes were so good. We will be back! read more

The food was good but the service wasn't. First of all they were out of seafood ( they had 3 orders of shrimp and still had scallops, but out of everything else) and 5 items on the wine list were sold out. We had an order of garlic bread which was yummy. 3 out of 4 of our dishes came out in a reasonable amount of time, the 4 we ended up ask a different waiter where it might be because our waiter was MIA. They brought the 4th dish and our waiter magically appeared. The pesto tortellini was the hit of the table, followed by the chicken piccata which had a very delicious lemon sauce. The daily soup of sausage and mushrooms was solid as well as the shrimp tuscan off the appetizer menu for my dinner. The late dish was a bologna spaghetti,baked was mediocre. It was nice that the piccata was able to substitute vegetables instead of pasta. When our waiter returned long after the meal was over (probably 20 minutes after we were done eating) she did state that she was sorry, but there was a table of 8 kids that were taken all of her time. She didn't even ask if we wanted dessert. Very disappointed that we were less important than a table of kids! Will probably never go back again, even though the food was better than average. read more

Delicious food and excellent service! Wine recommendation was one of the best reds I've ever had. Really made the night for my wife's birthday!! We're going back there soon read more

We had a party of 15 for dinner, not an easy task for any restaurant. Everyone raved about the food. It is uniquely New York Italian. The service was perfect. We could talk and leisurely sop up our garlic bread in their delicious sauces. Atmosphere+++ Food+++ Service+++ read more

Food was 10/10. Service was 4/10. We were forgotten about and I had to ask for my dessert 3 times and we eventually had to go inside to pay the bill after waiting almost 20 minutes for it. It wasn't that busy, maybe sitting out on the patio you get forgotten about? Would go back for the food. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting the crew at Arlo's in Sandpoint ID tonight. We had the chef's grandmother's artichokes and I had the Cioppino and my wife had the spaghetti w/clams and we shared a tiramisu for desert. Five stars all the way! The Ambiance was great as well. read more

I just finished off the Seafood Abbondanza. Overall it was very good; good flavor, nice textures, totally filling and and almost totally satisfying. Why almost? They leave the tails on the shrimp! Especially for shrimp going into a sauce this "tail on" practice is very inconvenient for diners! Arlo's is a better restaurant than this! Get those tails off before serving your customers! read more

My boyfriend and I LOVE Arlos!! We live in Spokane but make it a priority to stop in and have some grub every time we make our way up. The pesto tortellini and burrata pizza is always a 10/10. Occasionally we might indulged in dessert and get their cannolis :) Overall Arlos has great food, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. If you want great Italian food when you're in town, this place is a must!! read more

Great service, excellent food. Sat on the patio totally enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend

Visited during a recent trip to Sandpoint and were impressed! The shrimp pasta and garlic bread were delicious, in fact the smell of the garlic bread as we were passing was what made us stop in . We weren't impressed with the pizza, the crust was good but the very large tomatoes just didn't work and it wasn't what we were expecting. The ambiance and service were great and they even had live music. Overall, I would come again but would stick to the pasta and garlic bread! read more

Showed up with reservation. Finally seated even though there were multiple empty tables. Waited for service. Two other couples seated after us one twenty minutes later different severs. Both tables served eaten boxed paid and gone and we barely had our food. Bad experience for that kind of money. Used to be a fan no longer. read more

This is our second visit to Sandpoint and our second dinner at Arlo's. The food is excellent and the staff is friendly and attentive. Their homemade balsamic vinaigrette is the best I've eaten. The pasta's and pizza are wonderful. If you're in Sandpoint you definitely need to eat at Arlo's. read more

Fantastic food and service! Highly recommend! We enjoyed the margarita pizza and the pasta bolognese. Yummm!

Great food, soup, pasta, pizza. always a stop when we are traveling through Sandpoint.

The food was drenched in oily sauce. It was thrown in the microwave to melt the cheese they slapped on top. The breading on the veal was soggy. The pizza was extremely salty. They asked us if we had a reservation, on a Monday night and the place was practically empty. We saw another family come in as we were leaving. They did not ask them if they had a reservation. We will not be returning. read more

So although I've enjoyed trying pizza at 100's of different places until recently I didn't love pizza. Four weeks ago Arlo's changed that. The crust was the star of the show it's the real deal! Imagine this: a crust that's soft and airy with a slight chew, right? It's thin in the middle, so you get this beautiful, slight char from the blazing hot wood-fired oven, but then the edges puff up to create these gorgeous, pillowy rims. They're slightly crispy on the outside but still tender inside. And the flavor, man, it's got this subtle tang from the natural yeast fermentation. It's like each bite takes you straight to the streets of Naples. Absolute perfection, if you ask me! read more

Busy but not very friendly staff. Took us 20 mins to be noticed after we were seated. Pretty long wait for food and drinks. The patio was ok but had cobwebs and leaves/debris. The food was delicious but the service and ambience was lacking. read more

Went for the first time a few days ago with another couple. Ambiance was nice. Location was nice Wait crew nice. Ordered spaghetti with meatballs and my husband ordered the cioppino Both meals were not good at all. The spaghetti was runny and the tomatoes were half cooked...not a sauce. The meatballs tasted funky. The cioppino looked like it was made with canned spaghetti sauce and frozen fish. It was anything close to real cioppino. We did not get any bread with the meal but had to order it (and pay $4). The upside to the night was the wine, a Merlot from Pend O'reille Winery. I had high hopes for this place as the restaurant industry in Downtown Sandpoint is dwindling fast the past few years. read more

Ordered take out here tonight and while it's certainly not terrible it's also not that great. We thought the garlic bread was super tasty, our pasta dishes were fine, however the chicken tasted like it had been steamed or boiled? Just an awkward texture, kind of chewy. We also ordered dessert and I'll be honest, the cheesecake we had was really inedible. I don't know if it needed to be warmed up or it had previously been frozen but it didn't taste like cheesecake. It was pretty eggy, had a weird texture, and kind of bland. I feel terrible leaving such a negative review because it appeared this place would be a knock out but I don't think it was in the cards for us, folks. Adding salt to the wound, it was my birthday dinner and it really didn't hit the spot. read more

We love coming to Arlos. Nicely situated on a corner lot directly across from Lighthouse with indoor/outdoor dining. Great wine list, great menu great homestyle cooking!

Excellent cuisine! I can't get mouth of their garlic bread! Everything I've tried is wonderful

The food is amazing! Service is quick! Peaceful atmosphere! The garlic bread is a must

THE BEST FOOD!!! We are up here for a wedding and were craving Italian food and we looked up this place. They were busy, so we sat at the bar, which was nice. The restaurant had a very intimate feeling. Best decision. The owner was the bartender and she was the nicest person and made you feel at home. I ordered the cioppino and a house salad, and my husband ordered penne alla panna and their garlic bread. My cioppino was absolutely amazing, the house salad with their homemade balsamic dressing was delicious, my hubby's dish was so good, and don't even get me started on the garlic bread! It was so tasty! It had chucks of garlic in it and we almost ordered a second order of it. I wish I took a picture so I could have shared it on this review! Oh, and I ordered the original Tiramisu. Some of the best I've had! I just wish we lived closer so we could go again, but we live 7 hours away. Totally worth going to, call and make a reservation. Price wise it was definitely priced for what you received. read more

Thank you so much for a wonderful night last night for my 60th birthday. Devan who served our table was fun and engaging. While it was busy last night, the quality of the food was not compromised. We were a party of 6 ordered garlic bread, 2 pizzas one of which was the pizza special which had an entire burrata ball on it and 2 orders of pasta primavera with creamy pesto and the ravioli with Bolognese sauce (I think). I honestly don't think there is better wood fired pizza in all of North Idaho. Eat local, support our Sandpoint restaurants and stop at Arlos whether you're a local or visiting us from out of town! read more
