Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Bistro Arancini offers a delightful Italian dining experience with "excellent food, service, and atmosphere." Guests appreciate the "lovely bistro ambience" and the attentive, friendly staff. The menu features traditional Italian dishes, including standout arancini. While some find portions small, the "incredibly creamy" cheesecake and "fabulous" veal impress. Highly recommended for both lunch and dinner.

Our first time at Bistro Arancini and a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service attentive, but not overly so. A good value for what you get; will be nice for either a week night or weekend dinner. We look forward to coming back.

We had an early Christmas dinner, and despite the skeleton crew, service and food were both great. We’ll be back.

Lovely bistro ambience, high ceilings, open room with natural light. We had salads so can’t talk about the pasta which did look delicious. Salads were generous, fresh and well dressed. The cheese cake was incredibly creamy. For a Saturday lunch, restaurant wasn’t full. Service was prompt friendly and attentive. Quiet room, easy to have a conversation.

This was my third visit to Arancini and I enjoyed it as much this time as the last two. I had the veal piccata and my husband had the orecchiette salsiccia. Both delicious! The service was very friendly and timely. I have already recommended it to friends and will be back soon!

It was a very quiet Saturday afternoon and the service was outstanding. Very attentive without being overwhelming. Food was spectacular and the recommended wine paired perfectly with both meals. Will return.

The food was delicious, I’ve worked in hospitality for 20 years and the server had such an attitude that we asked for separate checks it ruined the entire experience.
