“ I always try to find a new Italian spot whenever I visit NYC- which is pretty often. I found Arthur & Son from a fellow ‘Miamian’ that’s always rating restaurants. Well, I was not disappointed. The food was delicious, the vibe was on point, and the service was great!! I ordered the spicy rigatoni with a side of meatballs. Amazing! I do wish the meatballs would’ve been either a little bigger or more meatballs. The order only came with two medium sized meatballs. However, the rigatoni was perfect for sharing. Our serving was the perfect amount for two people. I look forward to the next time I visit NYC and I’ll make sure to try other dishes. Thanks again! ”

“ Went there during the holiday weekend and after walking 40 minutes to the destination found out we were at the wrong location; meant to be in Midtown. They were booked to capacity. I advised the manager who was unable to make accommodations until an hour later. She offered to send us in a car service to the other location but due to heavy traffic, we decided to stay at the West Village. The food was exceptional. Our bartender was so pleasant and speedy, and the manager was so accommodating. They sent us a free appetizer and dessert. Always a great spot to dine in while in the city. ”

“ I had an incredible experience at this Italian restaurant! The night started with a delicious appetizer of meatballs topped with creamy ricotta—tender, flavorful, and a perfect way to begin. For the main course, I enjoyed rigatoni in a rich vodka sauce, topped with grilled chicken and melted mozzarella. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was smooth and savory, and the chicken added just the right touch. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service. I have a seafood allergy, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure my meal was safe—double-checking ingredients and offering helpful suggestions without making it awkward. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and every bite felt like it was made with care. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends! ”

“ Had an incredible dinner experience thanks to our amazing server, Alexandria. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and attentive. She gave us fantastic recommendations that we absolutely loved, and never let our glasses go empty. Every need was anticipated with care and professionalism. The food here is already outstanding, but having someone like Alexandria take care of us truly elevated the entire experience. Best dining experience we’ve had in a long time—can’t wait to come back!!! ”

“ So unique! Great food and warm service, brightens up your whole day after eating here. Portions are huge. Some of the mains like Chicken parm are designed to be shared. ”

“ Arthur & Sons: A Love Letter to Old-School Italian with Big Flavor and Even Bigger Vibes Walking into Arthur & Sons on 8th Ave in the West Village feels like stepping into a time machine—one that transports you straight into the golden era of red sauce joints, mob movie aesthetics, and unapologetically bold Italian-American flavors.

Sole Francese is a masterful take on the beloved Italian-American classic, featuring delicately egg-battered filet of sole, pan-seared to a perfect golden brown. The fish is then bathed in a luscious lemon-butter white wine sauce, infusing it with a rich, velvety texture and a bright citrusy zing. The portions? Massive. The atmosphere? Loud, lively, and full of character. This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience.

“ Food, service, and atmosphere were all great. The food was super tasty, but a bit pricey at nearly 40 for shrimp and pasta. Still, worth checking out for a nice night out. ”

“ Tasty Italian spot in a good location right on the corner. The pasta was extremely well cooked and the sauce was incredible. Not the cheapest, but geez it’s soo good. I know it’s just a salad but the Cesar salad was one of the best I ever had too. The service was also quality and quick. He also let us place a late to go order and was very accommodating. There is a small dinning area in the main part of the restaurant but they have more space next door. ”
