I had a hard time writing this review. The food at arleccinos is absolutely incredible. The family style dinner is absolutely delicious from start to finish.
You must try the meatball- to die for! We also had the beef carpaccio which was also very delicious. The next course was a fabulous salad that had beats, golden raisins, Suns flower seeds, and a subtle yet delicious salad dressing. Up next, was a delicious bowl of pasta and after that we had a steak which alone could have fed my husband and I. Needless to say we had lots of leftovers the next day.
I have a two-fold reason why I gave it 3 stars. I have eaten at this restaurant several times because the food is great and it's in my neighborhood, that being said the food is extremely overpriced. You can figure that for food alone it's gonna cost about $100/person which is capital grill kinda pricing.
The difference between this restaurant and capital grill however is that capital grill's staff is quick and efficient. Each and every time we come here they never find our reservation and make us wait around to be seated. The wait staff is very friendly but they're usually all running around like crazy trying to keep up with the tables. The environment isn't very ritzy either.
If you ask people to pay lots of money... It should be a full and complete experience...and it's just not there yet.
I'm still rooting for you Arleccinos!
