Andy MatticeJanuary 21, 2016Music, friendly family staff, the food is amazing. Sure the pizza is fabulous, but do be sure to venture into their gourmet menu. These folks live and love food. Arturo's is my favorite NY restaurant.
- Get a large pizza, it's well worth the extra price and loss of table space. Live music here too, which is nice but it does increase the sound level making it seem more older-crowd rowdy than it is.Upvoted Mar 28
- Sit at the bar and wait for a free table in the front room with the jazz musicians. Get a large 16" pizza and throw some additional toppings on there. Don't forget to leave a message in the bathroom!
Emilie FuttermanAugust 31, 2014Come for the food and stay for the music. The pizza is delicious (the sauce is unbelievable) but the Tortellini en Brodo is perfect, just like my mother makes it.
ZenFoodsterMarch 14, 2014Totally underrated coal oven thin-crust pepperoni & mushroom pies in an old school 1957 NYC pizza joint. Get here early (before 4:30pm) on Fri & Sat's to avoid a wait & enjoy the live jazz.
Jon PetersJanuary 17, 2015Super cozy. On a cold day, sit at the bar, split the meatball pizza and a carafe of red wine, and enjoy the sweet sound of the live jazz band! Really lovely surprise to stumble into.
Serious EatsMay 9, 2013The pizza menu here is straightforward. But to us, Arturo's has always been about meeting up with friends and not thinking too hard about the pies, all while you enjoy each other's company.
Quan NguyenMarch 24, 2018Different style pizza than usual New York but still awesome. Live music is fantastic. Prosciutto and mozzarella appetizer is a fantastically large serving.
Soooo happy Arturo’s has made it thru Covid. This is our spot for 💕❤️Clams Arturo, lasagna and eggplant parm. Don’t forget the thin crust pizza is always a fav too.
Barry BloomAugust 19, 2016An old standby. Great pizza, the original wood burning oven. Jazz combo playing behind us as we order dinner. Love it!
Jeeleighanne DuboiusFebruary 25, 2017Very nice vibe. Food is great portions are huge. Real Italian food and oh the serve Campari my favorite!
Christopher PepeSeptember 13, 2013One of the world's best pizzas in one of the coolest settings. And live music to boot! I've been coming hear since I was a kid and I don't plan on stopping.
Chris CooksonJanuary 9, 2015a nice sit down place with live-music. Pizza is fine but nothing to really write home about, crust can taste a bit burnt. Fantastic atmosphere and very reasonable prices though, great for an outing.
One of my favorite pizzas in the city. The place is small inside but great atmosphere and very cozy. They have live music too!
MirkatNovember 18, 2012Dim lit, mafiaesque small restaurant. Live jazz music. Prices on menu are wrong. All large pizzas went up $5. The pizza is tasty.
Stephen SaribalisJuly 24, 2018If there’s a place that defines “classic Italian” it’s this place. Incredible meal, service and vibe
- Emily KaneJuly 1, 2015The menu doesn't tell you this; but the mac and cheese balls are fried in truffle oil. What a delightful surprise.
Sit by the piano to enjoy amazing live jazz. And be sure to ask for the garlic cheese bread!!
Mari LundbergOctober 24, 2017My favourite pizza place in the village so far. Great pizza, cozy and with live piano music!
Tom HaslowFebruary 14, 2012Great pie, great jazz combos. It's a true original and timeless local spot. God bless Arturo's. And check out the oil paintings on the walls.
Jenny DomiziMarch 11, 2014Best place, not Only for the pizza but mostly because the people is really nice and friendly. Felt like home!
jake furstAugust 30, 2011excellente coal oven pizza (get it with sausage) and arugula/parmesan salads. you must sit in the front room for a 1960s-style NYC pizzeria experience.- Best pizza in NYC; it's a coal oven. House wine is great. Garlic cheesy bread is a must. Live jazz nightly. Leave a note on the chalkboard in the bathroom.
Mis Ter BugslyFebruary 18, 2012Great vibe, AMAZNG pizza...lot;s of talented jazz acts creating ambiance here on the reg.
Kathryn DNovember 27, 2017The mac and cheese balls are unassuming on the menu, but super infused with truffle.
Jessica FerrucciAugust 4, 2013One of the best pizzas I've ever had out at a restaurant. Service wasn't excellent but that made up for it
Daniel BarnettOctober 19, 2014Best veal parm, veal cacciatore, and great pizza. Live music and awesome staff.
Live jazz music, great NY style pizza, and great atmosphere! Good for groups
Veal Saltimbocca Raimond is OUTSTANDING. And the pizzas are always solid. Plus, great jazz trios with no cover.
MarthaNovember 3, 2014old school Italian. large, tasty portions. pizza and chicken parm are my two favorites.
Derek McLeanDecember 2, 2014The best pizza in NYC. Lovely piano music and a lively crowd. Just great.
JamieJanuary 3, 2011Arturo's is one of the best places to grab a pie in New York--2nd in my book only to DiFara's in Brooklyn. Nice live music on some nights, too!- Out-of-town guests will enjoy the pizza, but even more so, the amazing cheesy garlic bread. And don't forget to make them check out the bathroom.
Rudimus Radimus RamulusFebruary 17, 2014Pizza pizza pizza! Eggplant parmesean sandwich or entrée. Oh the whole menu is superb.
M BytzJuly 4, 2012Coal oven thin crust pies to die for. Enjoy one with onions while listening to the nightly jazz piano.
Bolognese is super creamy and delicious, but their meat sauce is different and just like your mom made it...pizza is great too...be sure to buy an "eat pizza" shirt
Abe MonzonNovember 10, 2013Yummy garlic bread. The broccoli and tomato pizza is so good. Ask for Angelo!
Emma RiccardiAugust 29, 2013Arturos had me at the warm bread basket. Make sure to sit in the front room to watch the late night jazz.
Daan V.December 3, 2010Get a seat at the bar and have a pizza and a Peroni. Tony will make you feel very welcome. The live jazz will take care of the rest.
Karl With A "K"October 2, 2014Their pizza is amazing, though beware of the limoncello - it's strong!
Emrah UcareMarch 20, 2019Live Jazz music, pizza and beer couldn’t be better. They serve wine and can beers
- Friederike WildNovember 13, 2014Pizzas are good for sharing in a group. Large size was plenty for two.
Maya ShanmugamNovember 28, 2016Gotta love a good pie and some live jazz in dim lighting- best pizza date spot
