    What a total gem!! Just walking in the door we were met with a very charming and efficient hostess who escorted us to our table last night and offered to take drink orders. Next followed our waiter who was equally polite, attentive and responsive. If you asked for water, it was served almost instantly. He did a nice job describing the evening specials. I ordered as did my wife the chicken barley soup. It was to die for! Flavorful, lots of shredded white meat chicken with no fat or skin. The Banzino was excellent and an ample portion cooked to perfection. The chicken cannelloni was equally delicious with a slight sweetness to the sauce. Deserts topped of a simply superb dinner from a truly charming and super skilled staff. This is absolutely a keeper and a weekly dinner spot.The restaurant was immaculate and tastefully decorated.

    If you want a real good Italian meal, Bistro Arancini is the place. The food and the people are great. I had the Octopus Spaghetti and it was delicious. My wife and our friends said their meal was great also. No full bar, which is a bummer, but they have a great wine list. Looking forward to going back when you can sit by the open windows and not get blown away from the wind. All in all, it was a very pleasant evening at a great restaurant. By the way, the waiters make you feel at home. Your are welcomed as soon as you step in. Great people.

    We celebrated my husband’s birthday. It was the first time for us to eat at Bistro Arancini, my daughter found the restaurant online. The food and everything were good. But the service form our server Mehmet was amazing! He was very friendly, funny and he gave a surprise for my husband’s birthday at the end of our visit . He gave us port wine for salute! My family was very happy and we appreciated his hospitality, service and thoughtfulness! Thank you! We definitely will come back ! Bistro Arancini is lucky to have Mehmet in their team!
