    Amazing! Great food and great service. Constant refills which is very nice. You get bread and butter in the beginning to snack on and then your food comes out very quickly. The restaurant feels like you have left New York and gone to Italy it is that fancy.

    My experience at Arno Restaurant in New York was fantastic. Firstly, I was greeted by the elegant ambiance and breathtaking views. The waitstaff was exceptionally professional and welcoming. The menu offered a wide variety, and the dishes were delicious, especially the seafood. While the prices were a bit on the higher side, the quality of food and service justified it. It's a perfect choice for a romantic evening!

    We were here for a party event in one of the lower rooms. We just had passed hourdorves and an open bar. The tortellini was very good, as was the brussetta, but the cold shrimp was flavorless, and the meatballs were nothing special. We just wished there was more food served. I would like to try the actual restaurant.

    I went there for the murder mystery dinner. I don't recommend this act for anyone under the age of 55. It was very boring but the older people seemed to enjoy themselves. The food provided was very blah I would have preferred to eat in the actual restaurant. The seating was very tight and uncomfortable to watch the show. However it was a night out with something to do. I wouldn't do it again!! They did include me in the show and they called me beautiful numerous amount of time compliments are fantastic but I still wanted entertainment not to be bored.

    I came here today for my holiday lunch courtesy of my employers. I didn't know beforehand that this place is a "sister" restaurant to Delmonico's. This restaurant, just like Delmonico's is absolutely elegant and very clean. The food and drinks were pretty good as well. Everything came out pretty quickly after we finally ordered. The clam appetizer were a bit small where one person can eat the whole plate. My main course of red snapper was really tasty and my cheesecake was creamy. The only issue (and I believe it is because of the holidays) is that the service was a tad slow. Waitstaff seem to disappear when you need them and nobody checks up to see if everyone is satisfied or if anyone needed anything. I would give this place another shot, only when it is less busy.

    First time to NY and Arno's did not disappoint. Carlos was a wonderful host and the food was delicious. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of my entree. If I get to come back to NY I'll come back to Arno's for sure. Thank you for the great experience and service!

    Amazing restaurant and service. The calamari was a little overdone, but the pastas and eggplant parmigiana were perfect. After dinner, they give you the dessert menu and have a dessert cart to show you what the desserts look like. We shared the Tiramisu and Cheesecake and they were delicious. Very busy restaurant. Very busy, Reservations recommended.

    It was a new year, and the menu was very limited with the holiday menu. Sadly.... we couldn't try other dishes that may have changed my expectation to 5 stars. Chicken Parmasean was just ok... chicken was too thin for me. No side spaghetti, either. My friend had seafood pasta and he liked it. Fresh squid and all.... Tiramisu was just average. I'm not sure if this was made in the restaurant or getting them from bakery, but it was just ok, tiramisu. It is slightly better than most average.

    Amazing restaurant. The food is delicious overall AND THE DESERTS.... OMG, the deserts are to die for. Just a little sugar and a lot of flavor. I love this place!

  • 4/5 Trish S. 7 months ago on Google • 66 reviews
    I attended a seminar last week, and I was truly impressed by the lunch they served. The chicken with mozzarella was outstanding, and the tiramisu cake was an absolute delight. The service was top-notch, and the ambiance added to the overall experience. It was a fantastic combination of great food and a well-organized seminar.

    The staff was nice and attentive. We ordered Risotto ai Frutti di Mare and Taglioni Freschi con 4 Funghi, both dishes were great. I was impressed with the way they served each of us a separate plate with the two dishes already beautifully separated. It was a nice gesture, and I think more restaurants should consider doing the same!

    I love this restaurant. From the time you walk in the door to the time you walk out of the door you’re treated wonderfully. Carlo and his experienced team excel at all. Food is always on point as is the service. Dessert’s are fantastic as is Carlo’s wine pairing. A must go to place….

    Had dinner solo at the bar. Super wait staff. Good atmosphere but food was less quality than I expected. I got some red snapper with shrimp and mussels. It had very little flavor and most of it was cold. Very limited selection of wine by the glass as well. Great location close to theaters and MSG but overall disappointed in quality.

    Beautiful little hidden gem in midtown. Excellent staff that made great recommendations, the food was tasty, white wine was DELICIOUS, and best of all.. i left my bag under the table and the staff came chasing a whole block after us to deliver it back. What an amazing team they have here at Arno, will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Joni B. 8 months ago on Google
    Excellent!!!! The staff was kind and attentive. The food was delectable, the dessert to die for. We were only in NYC for one day, but oh, what a wonderful way to end our trip. I highly recommend this family run restaurant.

  • 1/5 Emma M. 7 months ago on Google
    Never in my life have I or my friends been harassed like we were by this staff. Made to feel ridiculous for asking for drink menus/being confused by the lack of answer or clarity, mocked for not ordering alcohol or finishing our entire plate…just the strangest, most uncomfortable dining experience any of us have ever had. I don’t know what was up with the staff this night but it was….uncomfortable.

  • 1/5 Lara 6 months ago on Google
    Going to this restaurant was a big mistake. We got there by recommendation and left very disappointed. We had a reservation at 9pm and got there at 9.05 pm. The server welcomed us really unfriendly with the information that the kitchen closed at 9pm. As an answer to our question how this can be possible, because of our reservation he only replied that the kitchen closed at 9pm. Verly unfriendly very disrespectful and very humiliating. Never ever again ! Majmun

    I appreciated the food but not the 20% automatic gratuity added to a three person bill. I’d understand for larger groups, but for a smaller group like ours, a tip should be voluntary. Overall experience is otherwise enjoyable, albeit overpriced. (A pasta and a beer will run you north of $50 at the end. Good pasta though.)

    This place without question provided to me the least professional experience I have ever encountered in NYC. I had a confirmed reservation at 8:15pm on a Thursday night and called the restaurant to ask to push it to 8:30, which I was told was no problem. We arrived only to be told the chef decided to leave at 8pm. Just felt like leaving. Forget my being unable to even be seated for dinner, but I guess the already full restaurant of people was out of luck if they wanted to order any additional food or dessert that night as well, since apparently the only person who knew how to cook anything there just felt like leaving. To be clear: there was not an illness or emergency. I was told to my face upon arrival that the chef just thought it was a slow night and decided to leave. Could not recommend this place any less and that’s without even having tried the food…because I was turned away from a booked reservation. Terrible experience. Really a shame they thought this was okay and did nothing to fix it.

    Arno Restaurant is a delicious, beautiful, and lovely Italian restaurant with some of the best wine pairings in New York City.

  • 5/5 Christian S. 2 years ago on Google
    The ambient was very 5 star. The food very delicious.

  • 5/5 Jimi C. 5 years ago on Google
    I'd give it 10 stars if I could! One of the few traditional fine dining establishments, while still feeling extremely accessible. From the start we were hooked. We were say immediately, brought water and bread before we could even look at the menu. The food was just as amazing as the service and I can't wait to come back!

  • 5/5 Chris L. 2 years ago on Google
    I held a large group event here and everything was excellent. The service was great, the food was top notch, and the venue worked great for our group of 40. Highly recommend for anyone looking to host an event in mid-town.

  • 5/5 Gabriela R. 2 years ago on Google
    Amo is a hidden gem in the middle of midtown. This is one of the few places in New York where you can find classic city ambiance, the most amicable service and Michelin quality food that transports you to the Mediterranean with its flavors. The owner greets you and offers you a kind of warmth that is so welcoming once feels Like family: it’s a great place to visit and to eat!

  • 5/5 Carla P. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place. The customer service is absolutely incredible. I travel from Houston to NYC for work a few times a year and I make sure to go here for a great meal with an extensive wine selection. Carlos, the manager, makes sure that I am taken care of and all of the staff is super friendly.

  • 2/5 Amanda B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had reservations for 8pm and arrived at 745pm. We were greeted almost immediately and told it would be about 10 minutes. There was a couple in front of us as well as one after. We were sat and asked about drinks. No drink menu was brought but we ordered from the bar. The drinks came pretty quickly. From there it went downhill. We waited another 20 minutes with no acknowledgement as tables around us had orders taken and got food. Tables that came in after us. Still no one came to say it would be just a minute or apologize or anything. We guessed at how much our drinks cost left cash on the table and left. Very sad that after so many good reviews we decided to go there for our anniversary dinner and ended up having to go somewhere else.

  • 5/5 Angie C. 2 years ago on Google
    Fabulous! The wait staff was very attentive and they were packed. Enjoyed a nice table in the front by the street…. The ambiance was great. Save room for the tiramisu!

  • 5/5 Laura H. 2 years ago on Google
    Arno and the entire staff ensured we had a delightful and delicious visit. Carlos is a fantastic leader and host in addition. The Chianti, bread, salad, grilled vegetables, lemon chicken and artichoke chicken was fantastic. Highly recommend visiting Arno for an unforgettable meal and dining experience.

    Simply, Love this place. Absolutely left satisfied and happy. The employees were unbelievable at suggestions and fast service. Severely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 sophie r. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food with great service. Servers are personable and can clearly inform any person of anything on the menu and more. 10/10 would recommend to anyone for great Italian food and great wine.

  • 5/5 David K. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was fantastic. Friendly and attentive staff. Great cocktails. Food was amazing. Must visit

  • 4/5 Ms. T. 2 years ago on Google
    Everyone is so nice and it’s obvious that this place has many regulars. Great if you like traditional Italian food, but I prefer more refined preparation. I had the mixed salad, which was overdressed; the tomatoes were cold and tasted like they were in the fridge for too long. The red snapper was filleted, fried and covered in sauce. I don’t believe that good ingredients need to be fried or covered in sauce, but this is a matter of preference, so if you like Italian food prepared this way, I’d recommend giving it a try.

    First time to Arno in NYC with my husband for a nice getaway. The food was delicious. The portions were the perfect size. The wait staff was friendly and professional. Highly recommend
