Great service, good food, no complaints! For the price, the portions should have been bigger. Or the price lower. Other than that, high quality wine and food. read more

We came here before a show at the garden, on Valentine's Day, it exceeded my expectations on the Saturday, great service, nicely attentive, While not rushed, it was very fast and we had 3 courses in just over an hour. Food was good, not great, felt dated. Calamari was cooked perfectly, and was surprisingly tasty. read more

We recently dined here while on a holiday visit to NYC. it was very busy. Although it was super loud due to the number of diners we still had a great time. It reminded me of my Christmas Eves at my in laws house! Our server was very attentive and brought over waters and drinks right away. We ordered our dinners promptly as they had a lot going on. I had the Tagliolini Freschi con 4 Funghi. Absolutely delicious and fresh! All of my friends had amazing meals as well. I highly recommend this place. read more

Came here for a team dinner post conference and there was no one inside (yet). Crowd trickled in an hour later (7pm). We expressed that it was our first time and ALL the servers looked and acted like they hated serving us. We sat in circular table, ordered tea and water, and as the servers were handing out waters and tea, they looked SO annoyed that they had to walk around to put tea down. When it was time to order, they recommended a bunch of ways to start with/try different pastas. We didn't want that route, so we ordered apps to share and asked "do you think that's enough of apps to share among us?" And they replied "well are you hungry?" What kind of question and attitude is that? That's all I have to say, and we won't be coming back, thanks. read more

Came to Arno, for a private event, and had a fabulous time. The restaurant is well lit, has plenty of seating, and a large private area. The wait staff was extraordinary. They were dressed to impress, kept our large group comfortable, and explained every course before they were presented. Every single course was top notch, nicely presented, and the family style portions kept everyone content. The drinks were on point and everyone had rave reviews on how they enjoyed their choice. Mine was a Classic Margarita. The dinner started with Bruchetta and a salad. Then, we received Tortellini with penne pasta and marinara sauce. My main course was the Veal Marsala. This entire entree was so flavorful, had the perfect amount of salt, and a knife wasn't even necessary. I forgot to take pics of the dessert, but they presented plates with Cannolis, Tiramisu, Chocolate Cake, and Biscotti. Every piece was consumed within seconds and the Cappuccino capped of the meal perfectly. I really enjoyed Arno, appreciated the five star service, and highly recommended, for a classic Italian meal. read more

Definitely enjoyed dining here and look forward to my next visit! Two thumbs up!!! read more

Arno's in the Fashion District is an absolute gem. I've been coming here for years, and it always feels like home. The food is consistently excellent, but what really sets Arno's apart are the people, Milan, Bronko, Carlos, and their fantastic team. They have a way of making everyone feel like family, and their care and attention make every visit special. It's so nice to have a local spot in the Fashion District that you can rely on for a great lunch, dinner, or even just apps and drinks. If you haven't been to Arno's yet, you're missing out. This place is the real deal and makes my heart happy! Must have the espresso martini seen here - 3 beans of course. read more

Nestled in the heart of Manhattan's Theater District, Arno Ristorante provided the perfect setting for our corporate dinner. The private dining room offered an intimate atmosphere with its warm lighting, rich wooden accents, and elegant table settings. The space struck that perfect balance between sophisticated and comfortable, allowing for both professional conversation and relaxed enjoyment. The room's acoustics deserve special mention - despite multiple different group discussions, we could easily hear each other without having to raise our voices. The subtle Italian-inspired décor and soft lighting created an inviting ambiance that made our corporate gathering feel more like an exclusive dinner party. But the true stars of the evening were the desserts. The restaurant presented us with six exceptional options that had our entire group sharing and sampling. I chose the classic tiramisu which was delicious! Others in the team chose the classic New York Cheesecake, a berry torte, and a delicious panna cotta. The attentive staff enhanced the experience with their knowledgeable recommendations and impeccable timing, never rushing us through our courses while ensuring glasses remained filled and needs were met before we could voice them. For anyone planning a corporate event or private dinner in Midtown, Arno Ristorante offers the ideal combination of sophisticated ambiance, professional service, and memorable desserts that will leave your guests thoroughly impressed. I will have to say, it was not inexpensive. But considering the location and delicious food, the price was definitely worth it! Shout out also the the wonderful planning team who worked with us as our dinner was rescheduled twice. Thank you for being patient and flexible with us! read more

Nestled in midtown on 38th St, Arno's offers a very old-school, white table cloth Italian restaurant atmosphere complete with uniformed waiters and staff. Lots of wood and charm throughout the space. Their menu offers some great classics and did not disappoint! We opted for the fried calamari appetizer (delicately fried), then ordered the tortellini bolognese (fresh pasta) and pollo alla limone (such a delicious sauce!), both excellent. We had veggie sides too (broccoli rabe and asparagus). The topper was the luscious dessert cart they brought to the table, full of many enticing choices. It's worth the visit just for that! read more

Came across Arno Ristorante on our way to a meeting. So glad we stopped in for lunch, prompt, old school service and excellent Veal Limone. Hope to make it back for a full dinner and wine! read more

From the baked clams to the gnocchi with pesto, everything was just fine, but the place is a bit too formal (for us), and the prices are--well, $17 for a bowl of vegetable soup and almost $30 for eggplant parm seem a tad high, even granted The New Restaurant Pricing and the cost of Manhattan real estate. read more

We were here for a pharmacy dinner last night. The venue itself is ok, but the food was disappointing. We had a party of about 100 people in one of the private rooms. The food was served buffet style instead of family style at each table. There was also only 3 items, a pasta dish, chicken marsala, and a salad. Dessert options were better with cakes and coffee. I'm not sure how our organization paid per head for the event, but I'm hoping it was significantly less than other venues we've been at for the amount and quality of food we got. read more

The location is convenient the ambiance is perfect for Manhattan. Service is impeccable.

It's a big big room! I finally ate at this classic Midtown spot and ℹ thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a large party in the big upstairs room and we sat downstairs which was a small, but snazzy room. Ate: Bread Mixed salad Baked clams Swordfish Snapper & shellfish in a light red sauce Asparagus Total: $154 The waiters bring a Carbone like flair to the joint. Very fun. The bread was good! Best part when I asked for olive oil they gave me an Italian organic and for me that's heaven. Baked clams could have been crispier on top. Salad was very tasty Their mashed potatoes likely made with artichokes are their signature and incredible. Pricey but truly enjoyed the experience and will return. read more

Food (3/5): Came with a large group. We ordered a bunch of appetizers including calamari, caprese salad, and prosciutto and cheese plate. The appetizers overall was reasonably good although nothing stood out in particular. I ordered the Delmonico Steak and a small bowl of linguine pasta with meatballs. The meatballs in the pasta was unfortunately too hard and a bit overcooked. The sauce and noodles were nice though. The Delmonico steak which I got medium was nicely marbled but it was quite chewy in some parts. I liked the large portion for the steak. Oddly it came onion rings which weren't so good but the overall steak was good. Service (5/5): Very upscale service with friendly and helpful servers. The servers attentively took out orders, made recommendations, and checked up on us. They frequently refilled water and efficiently took our order. Ambiance (5/5): There is a beautiful interior giving an upscale atmosphere. There are nice paintings hung on the wall and beautiful lights. The restaurant was overall clean. Some of the tables in the center seemed too closely packed but overall the restaurant was nice. read more

Arno Ristorante - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

I was a bit on the fence of 3 or 4 stars for this one. The space itself was very quaint and perfect for what we needed. We had a large family dinner and the space fit us perfectly. The noise level was perfect - not too loud so we were able to talk and have a conversation. Service was also very good. They made sure to refill our wine glasses frequently and the server was great with answering questions about the menu. I have to say the food was just okay. Started with the baked clams and calamari, which was a good meal both good. Then I had the ravioli special for dinner. I did not realize it came with a mushroom sauce (waiter never told us this), and if I knew then I would not have gotten it. I wasn't thrilled with the pasta choices, but the rest of my family seemed to enjoy their meals. I would say in a pinch for a large group over the holidays, this is a good option. If you are looking for good, authentic NYC Italian and you have options, I would say this wouldn't be my first pick. read more

Food was excellent and service!! Ambiance was very nice!! It was close to MSG and their service & food great. I had Veal Scallopini was delicious and my husband had pasta in New England Clam sauce was Great!!! read more

The food was horrible... I had the limone chicken and it was dry, eggplant parmigiana was dry with little sauce, for $20 they took one square of mozzarella and cut it into 4 pieces, the baked clams tasted like they were out of a box and the shrimp also tasted like they were out of a box. We left and went to a pizzeria because we were still hungry. I had such high hopes for this place but it was horrible and the staff rushed us from start to finish. Lastly, I hope you aren't overweight because the tables are on top of each other.... There is no room for the food on the table or for you to move your chair. read more

4.5 stars. Casually elegant, very warm and friendly service, delicious food. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at Arno. Menu is extensive enough that we each struggled to decide on an entreé. Service hit the perfect sweet spot where it's brisk but never felt rushed. Our server helped me choose between the red snapper and the veal - and while I'm sure the snapper is delicious ... trust me, try the veal! I opted for the scaloppine alla cardinale, and it was mouth-watering - tender and decadently flavored. And the bresaola is a perfect appetizer. Note that vegetable sides are ordered separately (both of our entrees came with a small order of roasted potatoes, which was all we needed). If we'd skipped the appetizer, a side would have rounded out the meal nicely. Strongly recommended. read more

Outstanding service first off! Food was phenomenal! Gluten free options which we needed for one of us in our group! Beautiful restaurant!

I've been coming to Arno's for over 18 years. It's a staple in the Garment District. The entire staff is friendly and will always ensure you are taken care of. Carlos is an amazing host and very attentive. The food is delicious and the vibe is fun and light. Great for a full dinner experience or just to enjoy drinks. The fried branzino fillet was amazing. Very light and fresh. The linguini with clam sauce was also very good. The fried calamari was amazing, tender and not too greasy. I highly recommend visiting Arno if you are in mid-town and looking for a good dining experience. read more

Came here for an event and had a private room downstairs so it was hard to get a sense of the atmosphere. As apps, we had the meatballs, creamy truffle tortellini, bruschetta which all were good. Especially the tortellini. For app, the mixed salad was good. My salmon was fine and cooked to my preference. It only came with a side of mash which I found to be underwhelming. A colleague next to me had a shellfish allergy and ordered the chicken dish. Immediately, she could tell there was cross contamination as she had a bit of a reaction. Not terrible where she felt sick but enough to know she couldn't continue eating it. They took our coffee and tea order way before the dessert arrived. But it didn't come until after dessert was served (majority of us had already finished the dessert as they were serving it). The one thing that did urk me was seeing the dead cockroach just outside the ladies room but I guess it's better out there than in my food. read more

Excellent food and consistently good service. This is always a place to go for a nice evening and won't disappoint.

I made a reservation at Arno to strategically time dinner between the end of my conference and heading back to Penn Station. I was quickly greeted and the hostess asked someone who I think was the owner to store my luggage, which was nice and very helpful. I hate rolling my luggage into a restaurant, but sometimes, that's just how it is. I ordered the tortellini bolognese after having some of their nice house bread. The bolognese came out much faster than expected, which was great because I was on a time crunch. It was pretty flavorful, and I paired it with two glasses of Chianti. From an ambience perspective, I appreciated that all the staff were dressed nicely in suits and professional attire. The restaurant was reasonably large but felt like it had a sort of family-owned vibe. I'd come back to Arno! read more

If you are going to New York, a good Italian place is an absolute must! Arno is a great place. A little off the 24/7 main paths but worth the extra few steps off the main drives. We loved this place! The staff is exceptional and the food even better. None of that plate splattered red sauce with something resembling "lasagne", these people do it right. And, save some space for desert. Redic! Do it! read more

We staggered in out of the cold with no reservation, but they threw a few tables together and got us seated. The service was fantastic, and the food was delicious, and the froth on the espresso was perfect. The manager even took some time to talk wine.

My go-to place for a business lunch or dinner. Fish is always fresh. The pasta and risotto dishes are solid as are the meats. Unlike other places who set up their specials to get rid of old stuff, their specials are based upon what they buy fresh that day. Service is attentive and professional. read more

We went here a couple hours before the ball drop and also this place was the first food we ate in Nee York. The environment was right away good as we walked in. They sat our group down and catered to us very nicely. The food was good but to be honest it didn't blow my mind that I was hoping for. Maybe my expectations were high for NY food. The waiters were very kind to help us find how to get to the Brooklyn Bridge. read more

Unlikely to impress, but likely to please, Arno is a traditional Italian American restaurant in the garment district. Came with a group that didn't have a lot of direction on what to order for shared apps and desserts. So we asked the staff - they didn't really give us an option as to what we ordered - but it all came out promptly, was tasty and reasonably priced. No gold plated bait and switch here. Sauces were dry (not sweet) but lacked the flavor punch of punchier restaurants. Veal chop was a little tough - buts it's tougher when there ain't any. Bar service was quick. Service team acted like.....a team. They swooped and swirled. Got us in and out. Not the place I'd take my regular date because it lacks some pizazz but perfectly acceptable for a work dinner. Or for a group. read more

Really fine Italian near MSG. A bit expensive but I had great salmon. Service was terrific and the place is really nice. Enjoy!!!

We ended up here for dinner after catching a matinee. The four of us were treated like royalty from the minute we sat down. The servers were great and very attentive, and the waiter knew the menu inside and out. The restaurant itself is beautiful too, with a large welcoming bar. The food was really good (whatever that veal special was... incredible!), but the portions were a little smaller than what I was expecting. Also the menu itself is somewhat limited, but we sampled a few different items and every single one of them was delicious. As one of the lesser-known Italian restaurants in the Times Square area, it's worth a visit for sure. read more

The service here was honestly really bad. We were seated first, but the server kept serving tables that came after us. He never once asked for our opinions or checked in with us, but he stopped by another table at least four times to make sure they were okay. It was frustrating, and I started feeling annoyed--I just wanted to finish my dinner and leave. At the end, I thought he was finally bringing us the bill, but instead, he went to the table that came after us and asked them if they wanted dessert. Only after that did he come to us and ask if we wanted dessert too. At that point, I was over it. Not a good experience at all. read more

The food was Ok but NOT presented nicely. All fish and meat dishes did not come with any color, there was no green, orange or red from vegetable garnish, everything came with a little portion of mash patato. My main dish Shrimp with tomato sauce was just OK, one of the shrimps had a funky bad seafood taste, it came with a small portion of mash patato, ehcih was odd, woud be better if it came with a small portion of Linguini. I ordered a Sauteed broccoli side for $15.50, it didn't look like anything. (there was 10-12 pieces of broccoli with some garlic pieces on a plate. The service was OK, not necessary warm, but we got what we needed. The ambiance is as expected. All in all, I think the quality and selection of food has gone down a lot. it's a great location in the fashion district, it would be great if they can improv the food and service. read more
