It was a weird vibe. Not a soul in the restaurant on a Friday night at 7pm. The food was very good but just could not get over the fact that there was no one there. When we walked in we didn't even think the place was open. Though it is a beautiful waterfront location im not sure i would go back because of the off-setting vibe of having great reviews but no one there.
Overall it was good. Didn't blow me away or anything. Bread was okay. Food was good. Staff was friendly, albeit a bit slow. I was surprised for a Friday night we were only one of three tables there in the whole place. Crazy since the place was huge.

Worst experience at a restaurant. Arrived for our 7:30 reservation on time and seated reasonably quickly. The host seemed to be occupied in the bar area and not focused on incoming guests, but we did get seated within five minutes. Once at the table, we waited 25 minutes for anyone to come to take drink orders or offer water. About 20 minutes later, a waiter came over to take our dinner order. We knew there would probably be a holiday menu for Valentine's Day, but still chose this restaurant expecting a few options at least similar to their regular menu. There was either seafood or lamb. We were told there was no regular menu for the evening and ordered anyway, but later, other guests were ordering from it. Salads came out quickly, as we reminded the server we had not gotten our drinks. While patiently waiting, multiple tables got up and left, clearly upset about the wait. At 90 minutes, I flagged down the waiter again, and asked him how much longer our meals would take. It was now 9pm on our 7:30 reservation, after only eating the small pile of arugula they called a salad. He returned to tell us it was coming out soon. I understand a busy night, but the restaurant was 1/3 full and multiple staff standing around looking as disappointed as we were. Eventually I asked the server to just bill me for the food we did have, and cancel the rest. Only then did he bring our drink ordered at the beginning of the night, and a complimentary glass of wine (I don't drink). I declined and asked him multiple times for the check. I was charged over $50 for two salads, a glass of sparkling water, and nearly two hours of my own time, only to go home and treat my lady to leftovers on Valentine's Day. Staff that I interacted with were polite and friendly, ambiance was dated, but nice. This would be a really nice restaurant with an update and efficient kitchen management.

The service was cordial, and everything was brought to the table with no wait at all. The food was excellent, and we loved the music selections and beautiful holiday decorations. Thank you!
We were escorted to our table in the holiday festive solarium with a view of the water by a charming hostess. The venue is an old Italian restaurant with Italian music/songs to go along with it. The food was excellent and service superb. We totally enjoyed our New Year's Eve dinner.

I went to Arezzo with my family last night and our experience was incredible! Our server Dario was fantastic and answered all of our questions and made great recommendations. We ordered the roasted beet salad, pear salad, and kale salad. All of the salads were delicious - the only thing is the kale salad came with arugula instead of kale but it was still very flavorful. For our entrees, we ordered the melanzane al forno which was one of the BEST eggplant parms I've ever had, the fettuccine con funghi which was the freshest pasta and came with mushrooms and truffle oil - definitely the star of the show, and the squid ink pasta with seafood which was delicious. The wine selection was fantastic as well. For dessert we got the mini cannolis which were superb!! We can't wait to go back.

Such a beautiful restaurant to sit outside overlooking the river. They get high marks for that. The food was not good. Both entrees- Branzino, fried and yellow in color. Unappetizing to see, no taste. My veal cutlet, same and tough with an orangey brown sauce. Highly priced for a poor presentation and poor preparation. Excellent service but the food should play the starring role.
Had a reservation for 8:30 on a Thursday night and they turned down our preexisting reservation. They didn't reach out to tell me so I drove there to find all of this out just to get turned around.
While the atmosphere is fantastic- with a great view sitting on the water and music from the nearby pavilion - the food is just OK and the service is poor. The bartender did not get one drink right - which could have been how the really bad waiter took the orders. The cost is OK - you're paying for the view and atmosphere. If you are going for great food, keep looking.

The ambiance by the water was amazing. The food was very yummy! The only complaint is that once our main course was served the waiter never came back to see if we needed refills on our drinks. Also after we paid our plates and cups were cleared fast even though the restaurant was empty.

Such a shame the waiter could care less whether we were there or not. What a disappointment , service was very slow and food was just ok. Waiter let the restaurant down. As a local I won't be back. For the prices charged it's hardly worth it , better choices elsewhere. Just avoid unless you want a bad experience.

The food was fine but the service was horrible. We waited over an hour for our dinner and not once did the waiter come over to say anything, he almost was avoiding us. A person at our table asked for a non alcoholic beer and the waiter brought an alcoholic beer. When my friend told the waiter, he tried to tell her it wasn't alcoholic when it clearly stated it was. Overall, the experience was not worth it for average food. They should have a manager walking around asking tables how they are doing.

I've been to this restaurant several times, and the quality of food is always excellent. However, it was a bit pricey for lunch, $39 without a drink or appetizer and no dessert. Seems a bit high.
