    Special evening with friends celebrating end of cancer treatment and ringing the bell. Our waiters were excellent bringing and refilling waters promptly. Our cocktails were served quickly along with homemade soft warm garlic bread. Three of us ordered mushroom ravioli and one ordered salmon. All were absolutely delicious! The piano player even played our requests! Thank you Arabella’s for helping make our evening so special!

    We were visiting from California and randomly came across Arabella’s. Our daughter’s name is Arabelle so we decided it was meant to be. From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed. The ambience was great, the food was exceptional, and the pianist, Christopher was spectacular. He made the whole experience even better. He played Enter Sandman for our son. Very talented! If you ever find yourself in Winter Haven, you must visit this little gem!

    This was our first experience and the restaurant was lovely . We loved the ambience which included the piano player centrally located. We announced when we made reservations here on OPEN TABLE that it was our ANNIVERSARY as well as to the server assistant DIANA that greeted the table and provided water and also took our wine order. My Chicken Alfredo (yes, I'm a simple gal), was very average and the chicken was over cooked enough, my husband ordered veal parmesan that he thought was quite nice. The 2 appetizers we ordered were average at best , the bruschetta tomatoes were not seasoned and the baguette was crumbly yet tasty, the fried mozzarella was breaded nicely but rather thin and the marinara was quite thin almost like tomato soup. The 2 salads were nice as well as the bread. The caesar salad was quite the upgrade cost and hard to account for in comparison the the 2 salads but its the only salad I enjoy. Victor our server was polite and his table work was quite nice and his presence was also 9/10 as he had a large table responsibility as well as others to attend, Diana his assistant checked on us a couple of times after the wine as well and also brought us the check after we declined dessert during her dessert menu presentation. She nicely also took our leftover entrees and bread to box up in the back. Upon returning I was surprised to see our bagged to go food sat on the floor to attend to the large table before returning them to us,I felt that was quite impolite, idk, maybe that's just me, I'll leave that for others to interpret. Piano playing LOVELY , oddly, happy birthday was played 10 times guessing lol, but speaking of celebrations, dont know why they asked if we were celebrating, because, there was nothing mentioned of it by anyone. My husband loved it so much, minus the 3/5 star rating we are giving, as one offs can happen and the place is lovely as my opening statement indicated :)
