Reservations made through open table allowing me to schedule the lunch and invite the business partner at the same time. When we arrived we were greeted by name and as requested seated at a quiet part of the restaurant. The server was excellent and the food was both fresh and excellent. Will definitely consider for future business lunches and dinner. Definitely a neighbor gem.

Arturo's is a hard to beat restaurant - wonderful food, great service and ambiance . Don't be turned off by the location in a small strip of stores and worth finding. The menu is varied enough to please everyone and the wine list is extensive - it's great for both special occasions and every day dining.

We loved everything about Arturros. The food was amazing. We had just returned from traveling to Italy and the risotto, pasta, duck and salad were better than any we had abroad. We will definitely return and I have recommended Arturros to several friends.

Maybe the best osso bucco (elk shank) I've ever had. Arturo's continues to surprise and amaze with their creative dishes, home-made pasta, unique cocktails (best Manhattan around), and superior service. It's the best place around for fine dining in a quiet, elegant atmosphere.

Arturo's is one of the best restaurants in the Baltimore -Annapolis area. And not just for Italian which is like eating in Italy. The chef Francisco prepares amazing fish dishes especially the sea bass. The wait staff is personable and attentive. The wine list will satisfy everyone's taste. From the presentation to the incredible flavors, this is a great restaurant to enjoy wonderful cooking when dining with friends and family.

This is still the finest over all Dinning in the State. The only Dinning that could beat it would be in Italy, the food would be the same but the surround's would make a difference.

We have been to Arturo's several times now; they have never failed us. The food is so fresh, one knows that the dish was prepared especially for them. Our table included a veal dish, swordfish dish, shrimp scampi, and a huge beautiful steak, all of which were delicious. Service was impeccable as always. So hard to believe that this is in a small strip shopping center in Glen Burnie, but please don't hesitate to try this gem.

We had never been to Arturo's, but had heard good things. It was lovely. It was my wife's birthday and they included a wonderful Hazelnut and Chocolate cake that was delicious. Our entree's were also perfect. They didn't have a bartender on duty during the day we went, but they were still able to provide me with my requested drink. We would definitely go back again.

We went to Arturo's for my husband's birthday dinner along with my school-aged daughter and parents (both in their 80s). It took a little time to get our drinks and orders taken, but the food was fantastic. The grilled calamari and seafood medley was an excellent appetizer as were the craft cocktails, including the Gentleman's Fig. The bread was hot and fresh and was served with olive oil, but they brought butter when requested. The dinner entrees - filet mignon, squid ink ravioli with crab, and the special of Halibut with little neck claims and shrimp - were perfectly cooked. The desserts of gelato (salted caramel and vanilla) and the hazelnut cake were great. I would definitely go back again!

We came to celebrate a birthday, a group of 5 people (1 kid).
Food was very delicious we were surprise because it looks kind of sketchy from the outside (in a rural open shopping area) but surprisingly beautiful in the inside. Food was amazing and service was really good - waiting time was a bit longer because the place was packed. They kindly accommodated to out dietary needs which was amazing! We will definatly go back and recommand this place.
It is a rare Gem in the middle of no-where (Glenn Burnie).

Outstanding. I met a friend/ customer at this restaurant, after the lunch rush, and it was fantastic! Quiet, so we could drink wine and hear each other talk. The food was phenomenal. I enjoyed the FRESH gnocchi, which melted in my mouth and the servings were the perfect size; not too big. My friend loved the Chicken Marsala; light and extremely moist. The servers were outstanding and always ready to help with our needs.

Yes, I'll be back!

Terrific food. Very fresh seafood. The grilled octopus was excellent, as was the seared tuna. And the duck breast with a port wine reduction (and blueberries) was beautifully presented and delicious. The service was friendly, helpful and professional. Arturo's also has a wonderful wine list. Overall a very pleasant dining experience. I'd highly recommend dining at Arturo's.

Enjoyed a pleasant dinner on a Tuesday evening. It was busier than expected and glad I made a reservation. Service was very good though the waiter seemed a bit rushed. He was the only one on our side of the room. Ambience would have been very good but apparently there is no dress code as a guest wearing rumpled cargo shorts and a logo tee shirt was seated next to us. My beef tenderlion was excellent however the sides were rather ordinary. My spouse’s scampi alla Fradiavolo was too peppery but the shrimp were large and tasty. Compared to other fine dining establishments the value was excellent. Overall it was a very good experience and expect to be back.
