What People Are Saying About Arrivederci Italian Restaurant
The Editor

In Short – From the striped awnings and sidewalk tables, to the noisy dining room that smells of garlic and red wine, this intimate Fourth Ave spot resembles a true Roman café. Everything's authentic, including a wait staff fluent in Italian and a no-rush policy where patrons are free to linger long after the linguini is gone, no matter the line outside. A nice selection of table wines complements the homemade pastas and gnocchi.

We had an excellent meal recently. There was plenty of people watching available. While it is not white linen table cloth the food is great, the atmosphere is energetic, and the prices are very reasonable. We'll definitely be back for some more great pasta.
P.S. they valid parking for the lot right behind the restaurant.
- Pros: great food at a good price
- Cons: there can be a wait even with reservations
Italy in America
by jennandrade
If you're looking for Italy in America, you've found it here. I came here after hearing a friend rave about the food and the ambience of the place. I really enjoyed it despite the fact that I had reservations for 9PM and I had to wait for 20 minutes. I figured that I was going to an Italian restaurant and if it was really authentic, then it was going to "feel" like I was in Italy. The place had the "aura" of the small Venetian cafes where you can order massive plates of pastas. I had one of the cream pastas specials with Amaretto - it was delicious. Accompanied with Shiraz red wine - mm! It was wonderful. Despite the wait, it was a worthwhile adventure and great evening!
- Pros: Italian food, ambience
- Cons: Waiting time
The Best Italian Food Ever!
by slesieur
Oh my wow! The food here is absolutely amazing! We went to this restaurant because of a recommendation from a friend. It was so so worth it. I had the tortellini with ham and peas, which was a perfect balance between salt and sweet! My friend had their salmon ravioli with cream and caviar, which was incredible. This place is so good that we are grabbing lunch their today. Oh, and we took home a cannoli that was delish too!
- Pros: Italian speaking staff, great service, a foodie's dream come true!
