"I'm torn between shouting from the rooftops about how much I love Arrivederci's happy hour and keeping it as my own little secret so it doesn't become overcrowded. Well . . . here it goes, fingers crossed!\n\nWe had been here for dinner a few times and were very pleased, we decided we needed to try their happy hour. I'm so glad we did; this is one of my new favorite quiet happy hour spots. Not quite as trendy as Va Bene, but that's a good thing. Less of a singles scene, less noisy and the food is just as delicious! Happy hour is M-F 5-7.\n\nWe walked in a few minutes after 5 and were greeted by a very friendly bartender. He kindly brought us menus and explained that during happy hour all wines by the glass are $5. Wonderful!! He brought us some water (with a slice of cucumber, nice touch), took our drink orders, and gave us a few minutes to decide on food.\n\nIn addition to the wine specials, there are happy hour food specials! Half off bruschetta, pizza, and other appetizers. We went with the Calamari In Umido (large tube calamari saut\u00E9ed in white wine & clam broth with a touch of tomato) and the Margherita pizza. They make their own mozzarella here, people!!\n\nBefore we received the appetizers, the bartender gave us some fresh bread with oil and balsamic to snack on. The calamari came out first and it was fabulous, as was using the free bread to sop up the amazing broth! Then came the pizza and while it didn't blow me away, it was still very good and that mozzarella is so creamy and fresh! \n\nAs embarrassed as I am to admit it, we got three rounds of that yummy bread to use for that delicious broth of the calamari. The best part, the bartender didn't seem to mind a bit that we were being a little greedy with the free bread! What a nice guy! Did I mention the bread and broth were delicious?\n\nThe bar area is nice with a small-ish size bar and a few high-top tables. My favorite part was the living room set up past the bar. Some comfy couches and a projection screen. I can't wait to plan a friendly group happy hour so we can lounge around on the couches drinking wine and snacking on appetizers.\n\nThe service was great, the food was great, the price was right, and the atmosphere is cool and cozy.
