Profile

"Honey, I don’t feel like making dinner tonight. Let’s go for Italian." A warm, unpretentious Italian restaurant, Arte Café is the prototypical neighborhood standby. The specialties here are wholesome, uncomplicated dishes at reasonable prices and—as with many "family style" Italian restaurants—enormous portions. A serving of linguini with pesto could easily serve two people, and the equally generous tricolore salad, packed with crisp radicchio, arugula and endives, may as well have been tossed in your own kitchen. Diners shouldn’t overlook incredible lunchtime and early dinner prix-fixe deals. — Gabriella Gershenson

This dear restaurant is a real treat with terrific food, a warm and charming staff and wonderful value! My guests and I were treated with respect and humor while other guests were enjoying themselves making the atmosphere very festive. The food is fabulous as the generous menu allows you to come back again and again! In this time of getting more for your money, this neighborhood restaurant reflects its inhabitants... the artists of the Upper West Side.

Um, do we have a waiter?

We sat at our table for 6 or 7 minutes before our server came around. What else is there to say? There is no excuse for such an oversight of basic service--this is Manhattan. We had to ask for bread; it arrived less than room temperature. I don't understand this. We had to ask for oil, though other tables had it. I will say the entrees were actually really tasty and satisfying. The dessert, despite a limited menu, was also good. Nonetheless, for all the great restaurants in the city, there is no reason for anybody to risk visiting this one until other reviews counteracting mine start to pile up.
