Arturo's Bistro, Marco Island FL

I requested a quiet place to visit with some old friends. They placed us in a little room where we could have intimate conversation. THe food and service was excellent as well. Highly recommend any of the veal dishes and their zupa de peche is divine.

This was an amazing experience. Beautiful atmosphere, very relaxed, excellent food.
Triple tail and a chicken special with gorgonzola were excellent.

There were 24 of us. Our server, Rich, was excellent. The food was stupendous. It was a wonderful evening.

Great food, menu, and service! Kristen was a great server, we had 2 of the specials and the eggplant ricotta appetizer which was all amazing. The only thing was the location and atmosphere was surprising, it is located inside of an office building.

Fantastic service, very friendly staff. We were seated and served promptly. And the drinks were wonderful.

The food was average. Not bad but nothing to write home about.

The warm bread was great and the escargot was decent. The entrees were underwhelming as far as flavor was concerned. However, nothing was over/under done and the portion sizes were generous for sure, so that's a bonus. We didn't have dessert so I can't comment on that.

The atmosphere was fine, but it was very bright and felt kind of cold and office-like. I always equate Italian food with a warm, dimly lit spot. But that's just me and shouldn't dissuade anyone unless that is what you are looking for in a restaurant.

Food is delicious this is our favorite Marco Island restaurant
Rich is our ask for server
PS marinara sauce is the best

New location makes a world of difference as does the full service bar. Same menu same greatness.

We had Tuscan Shrimp and Scallops and Veal Piccata. Both came with mashed potatoes, two side vegetables, fresh warm bread, super nice salads…even parmesan cheese and butter in takeout cups. The food was DELICIOUS. All fresh (and the seafood was not microwaved). The serving portions were huge. It all came in very nice takeout containers we just put right on the table. We are SO pleased! We will be back to eat-in with friends in a few weeks and are really looking forward to it!

Went to Arturo's October 3 2023 on Marco Island Florida for dinner, so glad we did. All I can say is this place is amazing! His food is probably the best Italian food on the island, been going this restaurant for many years and it's great. If you visit Marco you HAVE TO GO TO ARTURO'S!

I recently dined at Arturo's Bistro in Marco Island, and I must say, my experience left much to be desired. While there were a few redeeming qualities, overall, I found it quite disappointing.

First, let's start with the positives. The service at Arturo's Bistro was indeed commendable. The staff was attentive, courteous, and efficient throughout the meal.

The new location of the restaurant is also worth mentioning. It's an okay spot, not particularly impressive, but not terrible either. The bar area, in particular, had a nice ambiance, and it seemed like a decent place to grab a drink.

However, my disappointment began when it came to the food. We started with the beef carpaccio appetizer, which was actually quite good.

Unfortunately, the optimism didn't last long. When our entrees arrived, it became evident that something was seriously lacking. It's almost as if they forgot to season them at all. There was a distinct lack of flavor, and the overall taste was underwhelming.

Regrettably, our entrees fell far short of expectations. For the price we paid, we expected much more in terms of flavor and satisfaction. If you're looking for a place with good service and a decent bar area, Arturo's Bistro might be worth a visit. However, if you're primarily interested in memorable dining experience, you might want to consider other options.

Truffles French fries, need more crunchy and more truffle oil, please after that everything was good

I gave it a 2 because the service was excellent. My son and daughter in laws food was good. My husbands veal was too cooked, my shrimp scampi were hard to chew. The waiter did bring me another dish which was just ok. No taste. Unfiltered water, and they have the nerve to charge $1.00 extra for ice for a baileys on the rocks. Must have changed cooks or just got cheap. Never going back. All the reviews the owner tells you to look at are from before they moved. On the bill it said $2.00 for ice. Must be new owners because before they opened in September it was one of the best.

I dine out frequently and when on vacation am making reservations ahead of time after reading through tons of reviews. Arturo’s primarily had outstanding reviews, but a few were questionable. Their menu looked diverse and reasonably priced, so off we went.
I must say that everything from the tasteful new location across from their former one (I found out they have opened this new larger location just 3 weeks ago), the politeness and attentiveness of the entire staff (Juan- our waiter was professional, knowledgeable and attentive) the menu plus specials were all 5 star. For appetizers We had the French onion soup (I consider myself a conissour- and this was GOOD) and the baked crepe and for dinner- the jambalaya and grouper. Everything was timed right, cooked to perfection and with generous portions. We enjoyed it all.
Their main dining room is large and tables are not on top of each other. There is a small wine room that would seat about 10. It was broken into 2 tables of 4. We sat at one and felt like we had out own private dining experience.
This new location also has a large bar that we noticed was crowded and lively.
My advice- read thru the lines of some of those reviews…
Our experience from start to finish was perfect and thoroughly enjoyable…5*

Great food! The beef carpaccio was so fresh and bright. Party of 4 ate from all different parts of the menu and all was delicious. Nice house Pinot Grigio.

Always good. Atmosphere very quaint. White table cloths. Excellent wine. Delicious food. I don’t eat bread but always do when I am here because it tastes so good. They are moving locations to a larger restaurant space so that will be good to accommodate more people.

Best Restaurant on Marco! Our server Zac (who kinds resembles Channing Tatum) was my server and he was very attentive and knowledgeable when it came to wine.

The owner is an As@*#%e! We were a party of 7 and my wife has a service dog. We were seated and the waiter was taking our order. The owner strolled up and told my wife our dog isn’t really service dog and it’s inappropriate to have her there. When my wife asked if she would like to see the dog’s certification, she just turned around and walked away. If anything, She (the owner) was inappropriate! If there was an issue, than why wait until we’re seated and ordering? If you want to be a terrible person and refuse a service dog, than at least tell people before they are seated.
