    Food was excellent but it was too noisy in the dining room. We have a decibel app on our phone and it was showing an average of 90 db. They need to invest in some sound dampening materials. The noise detracted from the excellent food.

    We were quite happy with the food at Arethusa al Tavolo. The food was excellent. The rolls were so good we got a second one. The wine list is not cheap but it has some very nice wines. We will be back.

    Arethusa al Tavolo is definitely worth a visit! The food was excellent and the service staff outstanding -very attentive and our meal was well paced. A shout out to our main server Natalie who was an absolute gem!! She is friendly, efficient, and a wonderful representative of the restaurant. We visited on a very busy summer Friday night. The dining area is small and separated by one wall from the bar area. This affects the ambience - It’s quite noisy and we felt squished into our table for 2, all the tables in the dining area are close together. This is not the restaurant for you if you’re looking for a quiet, romantic spot. The food more than makes up for the issues mentioned above. There is an excellent variety of starters and entrees, many showcasing the cheeses made at Arethusa Farm which are delicious. Our dinners were beautifully prepared and plated - everything we had was superb. Several desserts showcase the delicious ice cream also made at Arethusa Farm. And if you’d like to bring some ice cream home with you, you can stop right next-door at their ice cream shop and pick up a couple of selections.

    Food and service are always excellent. The last few times we were there (this time included), food took a very long time to come out (apps and entrees). It was late too. We had 7:45 res and didn’t leave til almost 10:30. That’s my only complaint. We’ve dined there many times before and never had this issue.

    An amazing experience. The dairy items were all amazing. The steak was outstanding. I also enjoyed the wine list, and the by the glass selection was excellent. We will definitely return when we are back in the area.

    We, and our guests, thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Loved my cocktail & the food was spectacular. The timing could be better. There was a bit of a long wait for the appetizers, which we didn’t mind at all, but the entrees came rather quickly afterwards.

    Overall exceptional service and experience. Only gripes were some seasonal accoutrements carried across several dishes that we felt a bit over-powered some of the other flavors, though the food was still quite delicious. Pork belly dumplings and yellowtail tartare were amazing. Unfortunately missed on the boar so will return to try that as it was not available this past weekend. Strawberry shortcake and vanilla ice cream were fantastic. Great environment where it was full but yet still intimate and the layout filtered out neighboring conversations so it still felt on the quiet side.
