Arno Italia - The Colony

The restaurant was closed! I'm not sure why they accepted reservations.

The atmosphere and staff did an excellent job. Although it took a little longer than expected for my food to arrive, the manager explained that my risotto was remade because the first attempt didn't meet their standards. I really appreciated that they took the time to get it right, and we weren't in a rush. The waitress was very attentive and genuinely wanted us to have a great experience. One suggestion I have is to offer some sort of bread; for a $20 meal, it would have felt more worthwhile if I could have enjoyed a nice piece of bread with some olive oil for dipping. Both the risotto and the bolognese were very good.

The service was excellent, and the staff and owners were very friendly. Just take a look at this!

Went early on a Saturday, before a show. They gave us the option to sit in a quieter area, with not as many families with kids around, which I thought was nice. The drinks were fantastic, and the charcuterie board we had as an appetizer was one of the best I 've ever had. They even warmed the olives, which I 've never seen before. For dinner, I had the braised short rib with papardelle pasta. It was sublime. My wife had the burnt ends ravioli, which was a very unique and delicious dish. My mom ordered the 24k Cacio de Pepe Risotto. I shied away from this dish, because I saw that it had lemon, but it was magnificent! Cheesy goodness, with real, edible gold on top! We split two desserts, the chocolate tiramasu and the cannoli. The tiramisu was a different take on the dessert, and was quite good. The cannoli had fresh, flaky homemade shells that were amazing. I did find the filling to be a tad citrusy for my taste, but overall, everything was fantastic. Our server, Shauna, was a delight, and she was very helpful when we couldn 't decide which options to go with on drinks and dinners. This place is pretty new, but if they continue to provide excellent service and amazing food, like we experienced Saturday, they should be here for a long, long time. I know we will be back!

$13 for a small dinner salad that was nothing special. Hostess sat at the bar with customers the entire night.
