Arté: If your idea of preparing an Italian meal is opening a can of Chef Boyardee, then you need to haul your culture-less rump to this upscale, (read: pricey, but it’s worth saving up for if you have someone you want to impress) Italian eatery. Arté features a fairly standard menu, but the portions are large, the wine flows freely, and the staff and service have an impeccable reputation (maybe it’s because the owner is on-site every night). Arté is one of those quiet, beautiful secrets with a comfortable, homey ambiance. The fireplace, outside garden, and romantic atmosphere inspires most of its guests to get all gussied-up before they come here to dine. Just don’t let your grandmother pick out your tie, capice? |
