Reviews for Arturo's Bistro in Marco Island, FL
We've been coming to Marco Island for 16 years, this is hands down the best meal I've had on the island. We've been all over the... Island to restaurants and paid their exorbitant prices for sub par meals with a decent view. While there isn't a view, I wouldrather come here and actually have the kitchen/staff care about my dining experience. Incredibly polite and friendly servicewith a great relaxing atmosphere. The food was out fast and made exactly how we ordered it. We got the Cobia, Salmon, StuffedPork Chops and the Beef Bolognese and all were delicious. We will be back on our next visit! Highly recommend! Read more
Some dishes are good. The alfredo sauce was separating and the taste wasn’t good. Expensive (very expensive). But what... bothered me the most is that they add 20% gratuity to every check( we were a family of 4) and then they give you a pen to addmore tip. Really now. Read more
Had a fabulous birthday dinner this evening! Everything from the appetizers to dessert was well presented and delicious. The... owner of the restaurant was extremely accommodating and suggested a special table in the wine room. Selena was our server andcould not have been nicer. If you are lucky to be there when the special is the stuffed pork chop - make sure you order it! Itwas fantastic! Don’t miss this Marco Island treasure- thanks to all. We will be back. Read more
This was our second time eating at Arturo’s after having a great experience last year. The food was as great as we remembered... but we were very turned off by being rushed off of our table because of imminent reservations - yet there were at least threeother empty tables around us and we had only been at our table an hour and fifteen minutes. That didn’t feel reasonable orpolite. We won’t like come back, unfortunately. Read more
I would love to tell all of you about the friendly home style atmosphere with a touch of class offered at Arturo’s Bistro and... about the high quality of the food and the masterful way it’s prepared or even about the most decedent key lime pie I’veever experienced but alas, I can’t because once I do it will make getting seated there again impossible! I truly want to thankArturo for making our experience there memorable, We will be back, highly recommend the grouper and soft shell crab! Read more
Despite the name this place is definitely not a cafe, but more a high end bistro. I brought my parents here for Mother's Day and... was so pleased with the food and decor. Pulling up for the first time I wasn't sure how the meal would be but the inside iselegant and the servers all attentive and dressed nicely. The food was amazing and I highly recommend the grouper preparedIsland style. Make reservations because this place was packed. Read more
We went to Island cafe for dinner. The inside was not so large, but not too small. They didn’t have tables on top of each... other as they do in NYC, so it was roomy and comfortable. Their dinner entrée items comes with a house salad or soup of theday. We could upgrade the soup and salad with additional fee. We upgraded one soup to French Onion Soup for $1 extra. The cheesewas nice and gooey! The bread cubes in the soup was thick and tough… We also ordered one appetizer item to share. We choseTruffle & Porcini Mushroom & Goat Cheese Ravioli. They forgot to bring the garlic bread that comes with it, and we didn'tnotice… It is always important to read the menu carefully! For the main, I went with Pappardelle Pasta. It didn’t reallyhave much of truffle aroma or flavor. The scallops that was nice and plump. It had more mushroom than anything. Not as good as Iexpected. My hubby went with Creole Jambalaya. Even though the quantity of each seafood items were not that many, but allcombined together, they had plenty. The sauce had a nice kick to it. This one was quite tasty! I liked it better than my pastafor sure. At our table, we also had Chicken Piccatta, and Twin Tournedos Grille. The chicken was delicious, they do saucereally well here. The steak was cooked just as requested and tasty. Our server, Aaron was very nice, friendly and polite,knowledgeable and attentive. The food was mostly good, other than the pasta dish… And the fact that they forgot garlic breadwas sad too. I would still like to go back again and try some other dishes in the future. Read more
From the reservation, to the service, to the entrees, the experience was superb. The food was delicious! Will return upon our... next visit. Read more
