Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the food itself, with the diavola pizza, mussels, steak skewer and a goats cheese starter named as standouts, and several describe generous portions served very hot. Close behind is the welcome, with reviewers calling the staff friendly, polite and helpful, including one who replaced a meat dish with a freshly cooked one when a grandmother ordered it by mistake. Birthday meals recur, and one diner mentions a tiramisu arriving with a candle and a note. Reviewers also mention good red wines and cocktails, and a calm atmosphere with gentle music. The caveats are small but specific. One vegetarian found the pasta and pizza options unexciting, another says the chairs are small and hard for older guests, and one reviewer describes a fallout over a birthday cake at the end of a meal. One reviewer says desserts were pleasant but not the highlight. Several reviewers recommend the place for a warm welcome, and one walk-in on a Sunday evening was greeted warmly without a booking.

“We arrives without prior booking on Sunday evening and were immediately given a warm and friendly welcome. The service throughout was attentive and polite. All out food was delicious and served with generous portions. We had never heard of this restaurant before but after such an enjoyable evening we will be future regular customers.”

“Lovely restaurant. Really clean and modern with comfortable seats. No wheelchair access though there is a disabled toilet. Several steps upto the entrance. Food was delicious and served very hot! Service staff were friendly and helpful. Good value for a lovely birthday meal.”

“Had a birthday meal to celebrate my son’s birthday who loves Italian food. Everyone enjoyed their meals which were well cooked and good portion sizes. Just a pity about a fallout at the end over a birthday cake. Menu has a good choice and is reasonably priced for an Italian restaurant. Would recommend.”

“When our favorite restaurant closed we knew we’d have to look for a new place to eat. Well I found Arco , beautiful food, friendly atmosphere, gentle music. Everything about it was great. We will be back soon. Highly recommended 🥳”

“Heard a couple of bad things and had been in the past and had a good experience, found it even better this time, not a busy time to go midweek but the service was excellent and the food for five of us was all great. Definitely recommend to all looking for good Italian food and a warm hospitable welcome.”
