Fabulous restaurant - our third year visiting in the area and this restaurant is the best by far. The veal and chicken francaise are perfect and include a side salad, mashed potatoes, carrots and green beans - all delicious. The warm sour dough bread is a wonderful start as well. HIGHLY recommend.

Our first visit to Arturo's was a memorable one! The decor and setting was bright and welcoming, the service attentive, but it is the food that will be bringing us back! The stuffed pork chop was an incredible feast, the veal sorrentino was a culinary celebration for the palate and the pompano was absolutely amazing! Kudos to the chef and staff

Great wait staff and server. Got seated right away for our 5:30 reservation. Nice wine selection I had their duck for the first time and it was salad was wonderful. The sides of vegetables were well flavored and cooked al dented'. We have been going to Altoro's since they were on bald Eagle and on Collier and now in their new location. It is one of our staples to go to for a good dinner and nice atmosphere.
Ignored by the owner's partner when we arrived. She kept her back to us while having a general conversation with the hostess. A young man came over to take our name and guided us to the table. Server & food were good but doubtful we'd return as there are better choices. Being acknowledged is key.

A bit sterile and clearly it is as expected in this office building. We just came in for a drink. There was no music and the vibe was a bit stale. I'm sure many may like it, not our type of locale.

Outdoor seating was in office building courtyard but could have been improved with some screening plants. One of us liked their meal but I definitely did not. Meal presentation was subpar.

Normally like to try something different at new restaurants. Decided to go with the basic lasagna. It was delicious. Tangy marinara, tasty cheese and sausage. Fellow patrons enjoyed steak, seafood, and linguine. Server was polite and efficient.

Arturo's Bistro Needs to Up Its Game To Make A Mark on the Competitive Fine Dinging Scene on Marco Island!In the During my recent visit to Marco Island, I decided to try out Arturo's Bistro, intrigued by its reputation as one of the island's finer dining establishments. However, my initial excitement was dampened by the blaring music that greeted me upon arrival.MUSIC WAY TOO LOUD!While the live musician showcased undeniable talent, the volume and song selection felt more appropriate for a lively bar scene than a refined dining atmosphere. The noise level made conversation difficult, detracting from the overall experience. I would suggest adjusting the music volume and playlist to better complement the dining ambiance, particularly during peak hours.DECENT FOODMoving on to the dining experience itself, I found the food to be a highlight of the evening. My date and I indulged in Arturo's signature dishes—a perfectly executed mushroom ravioli and a flavorful stuffed pork loin chop. Both dishes showcased culinary expertise and left us satisfied. However, my date did note that the dinner salad was overly dressed, suggesting a lighter hand with the dressing in the future.WHAT'S WITH THE WINE GLASSES???One aspect that left much to be desired was the attention to detail in the wine service. The stemware provided was subpar, detracting from the enjoyment of the wine selection. The glasses were thick-rimmed and heavy, something I would think I'd get at a cheap low low-quality chain restaurant. Investing in higher-quality stemware would elevate the overall dining experience and better complement the impressive wine offerings. As a vacationer from the West Coast, I had high expectations for Arturo's Bistro but found it to be more middle-of-the-road than anticipated, especially considering the prices.In conclusion, there are areas for improvement, particularly in refining the dining ambiance (turn down the live music, good god!) and enhancing the wine service—invest in some decent stemware (Riedel, Spieglau, Schott-Zweisel?). With some adjustments, it has the potential to truly shine as a premier dining destination on Marco Island.
Auturo's did not disappoint. The menu was large and the portions were great. I did miss out on the porkchop since they were sold out and will have to come back to try that next time.

Visited Arturo's for the first time and were very happy with our choice. My wife got the Tuscan Shrimp and Scallops and I had their Stuffed Pork Chop, which is one of their specialties and is not even listed on their menu. Both dishes were excellent. My wife said hers was the best Seafood dish she has had on Marco. We made another reservation on our way out. Would definitely recommend Arturo's.

Great atmosphere. Great food. My wife and I have never been referred to as “you guys” that many times in any establishment. “You guys” have a reservation? “You guys” follow me. “You guys” want a drink? “You guys” want to order? etc. Then the waitress delivered my wine palming the glass like she was in the NBA. So, “us guys” would suggest “you guys” have a service excellence session with “those guys”!

We have never been treated so rudely by restaurant staff! A week ago, four of us had reservations for an early dinner. The restaurant was maybe 10% full, with plenty of tables. Unfortunately we were brought to a non -standard oblong booth that is located at the entrance of the main dining area, bordering the walkway - really, should not even be a seating area.When we asked for a different table – there are plenty empty at this time – we were told we should’ve requested a specific table. This being our first visit, we had no idea - OpenTable reservations only ask for bar, outdoors, or standard indoor preferences. When we informed them, we could not sit there, as our guests were hard of hearing, and seating would never work for us to enjoy dinner, and that we would have to leave, the young female, hostess told us we were welcome to leave. when we implored the older female, hostess at the check-in podium to help us with another table – again the restaurant was only 10% seated – she looked at the seating chart and told us it would be too much trouble to make any changes.It got ugly with the hostesses raising their voices at us, blaming us for not asking for a special table. Needless to say we will never be back and sadly I have to add that the restaurant couldn’t care less. Reading other reviews I see that this particular table top has been an issue for other diners also. It’s sad that there is so much business during season that Arturo treats would be customers so rudely!

Very unhappy having to wait 20 minutes for our reserved table for 6. Service was very good. Entertainment was very good but so loud that conversation at the table was extremely difficult. Good sausage and peppers and eggplant parmesan and veal saltimboca. Disappointing goat cheese and mushroom ravioli and disappointing shrimp and scallops. Have been before and had been much better.
Good food, a little pricey, and excellent service. carpaccio and veal piccatta are excellent.
