Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bistro Arancini offers a delightful Italian dining experience with "excellent food, service, and atmosphere." Guests appreciate the "lovely bistro ambience" and the attentive, friendly staff. The menu features traditional Italian dishes, including standout arancini. While some find portions small, the "incredibly creamy" cheesecake and "fabulous" veal impress. Highly recommended for both lunch and dinner.

    First time here. My wife and I shared the beet salad while she had the chicken panini and I the veggie pizza. It was more than enough to eat so we each brought leftovers home. Soft Focaccia bread with an onion/olive dip was provided. We were very satisfied with the lunch and will come back again for lunch or dinner. The prices on the menu were comparable to other restaurants nearby.

    Our first time at Bistro Arancini and a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service attentive, but not overly so. A good value for what you get; will be nice for either a week night or weekend dinner. We look forward to coming back.

    We had an early Christmas dinner, and despite the skeleton crew, service and food were both great. We’ll be back.

    Lovely bistro ambience, high ceilings, open room with natural light. We had salads so can’t talk about the pasta which did look delicious. Salads were generous, fresh and well dressed. The cheese cake was incredibly creamy. For a Saturday lunch, restaurant wasn’t full. Service was prompt friendly and attentive. Quiet room, easy to have a conversation.
