Excellent food. The restaurant accepted my initial reservation then called to ask me to push it to an earlier time. Then we we arrived we had 30 minutes to order everything because the kitchen was closing.

Food, service and setting are excellent. It’s been a small, family-owned restaurant for decades. The staff is friendly and accommodating and have worked there for years.

Made this reservation for a party of 6 today just by doing an Italian food search. Easy to make, didn’t have to add a card to do so. Love that. Loved all the reviews and pic of food. Such a cute authentic feel Italian restaurant. Lots of seating, even outdoors with heaters. The service was excellent, things came fast and refills came fast. Very nice server. All the food was 10/10.

It had been several years since we dined at Arnold’s, since we live in Goleta and have been enjoying Italian food at Ca’Dario’s in that area of town. But tonight was lovely — perfect pasta (gnocchi, fettuccine) and chicken, friendly service from all, and good ‘vibes’ throughout. Wine list is fine, and the availability of valet parking in the neighborhood is good to have.

nice selection of food, waiter very helpful in describing the dishes.
Valet parking is available if you are unable to find nearby street parking
We have been here several times, have always enjoyed the experience, and can't wait to go again in the near future.

On a scale of 1-10, Arnoldi’s is a 10++. We made a last minute reservation for a party of 16, and they were very accommodating. Dinner felt like having a dinner with family at their home. So welcoming and friendly. Food: authentic and words cannot convey how delicious it was. They also give very generous portions. Ambiance: cozy and great music playing. Service: second to none! Sean, the bartender, and Guillermo, our server, were the absolute best! We wanted for nothing. They were friendly and very attentive to our requests. One important point is they do have a valet as parking can be tough.
We highly recommend you dining here. Believe me, you will not regret it!
