I really wanted to like Arthur's. We asked our waiter if it was family style portions . We wanted to know how to order. There were 4 of us. We started with the chopped salad which was the best part of the meal. Great dressing and enough for 4. My husband and I counted on splitting the penne bolognese. We were shocked when it arrived at the table. It was a portion for one at best. Pasta was a bit overcooked and the bolognese was not a rich tasting sauce. My friend had the salmon- again enough for one NOT FAMILY SIZE PORTION. Our other friend had veal marsala.It was a bit tough. Not family style portion. The food was at best fair. We all took a good look around deciding not to return. Ambiance was OK- noise level was to a level where we could barely hear each other talk to one another and hear what the other was saying. read more

Our waiter was a nice guy. Lousy waiter, but nice guy. This picture is what they don't want you to see. Contrary to what you may have heard, the portions are not "family style" like Carmine's. Carmine's entrees can feed a Family. A&S entrees...a Family needs to chip in to cover $35 for pasta w olive oil and garlic. Went in w high expectations which lead to extreme disappointment. I could go on. Suffice to say, nothing was good. Service is like Italian Restaurant Summer Camp. The Campers are not good servers. The food is lousy, but hey at least it's expensive! This is The Hamptons after all. I absolutely, positively have had better meals at Olive Garden and I don't feel good about having eaten at Olive Garden. Avoid. read more

Arthur & Sons - Don't get fooled by claims of "Family Style" portions. These prices are for single servings of mediocre food. - Italian Near Me - Bridgehampton, New York

I am honestly so confused by the other reviews here that I feel compelled to write a review which I have only ever done a handful of times. We just finished dinner at Arthur & Sons Bridgehampton and we are SOOOOO impressed!!!! I have been to many restaurants and consider myself unfortunately to be a pretty tough critic and this place was just great. The outdoor garden was such a good vibe and the food was SO good. We will definitely be back - it is a fabulous addition to the area. The only thing that I can think of is that people are coming here expecting a fancy refined experience - this should be your go to spot for a great hearty, feel good Italian meal that doesn't take itself too seriously but is VERY high quality and delicious. Trust me! read more

BEST MARTINI IN THE HAMPTONS!!! Chilled glasses make all the difference. Food is DELICIOUS!!! Had a friends birthday dinner there over the weekend, and they were absolutely lovely. A table of Nine - we got 3 apps, 4 entrees (2 proteins and 2 pastas) and the mini cannoli to share. It was the perfect amount of food. Staff was attentive and on their game! Will ABSOLUTELY be back! read more

Definitely a go to spot if you like solid northern Italian food. The portions are not really family style imo, but the service and quality is good. I think it is a bit overpriced but consider it the Hamptons tax. 3.5 stars. read more

Magically got a reservation at Arthur and sons last night, as it has been a highly coveted one since it's recent opening. I have been dying to get it as I had take out from the NY location and it was amazing; dining in however was miles better. We had a 9pm reservation and when we arrived it was still crowded. Very casual but elevated family-style feel of the restaurant. The only complaint would be the slow service, especially with the large staff, however, I am definitely cutting them some slack as they just opened. Our server was great, very personable and friendly. We started off with the meatballs and baked clams oregenatta. Before anything they give you some fresh bread and roasted garlic oil, this is so delicious for just being bread, I was impressed right off the bat. I had the amalfi spritz which was also delicious and refreshing. The meatballs were good, very soft and the sauce stole the show however I wouldn't get these again as I think they have better. The clams were amazing. Some of the best we have ever had, would definitely recommend. Then we shared the spicy rigatoni, all dishes as they will tell you are very shareable as they are larger. The pasta was perfectly cooked and delicious, however not spicy in the slightest, but after some red pepper flakes it was amazing. We were too stuffed to try dessert but honestly nothing really caught our eye. They ended us off with some complimentary biscottti, which was the perfect way to finish off the meal. After our meal the owner stopped us on our way out and began talking to us. Everyone was great on staff and i genuinely have no complaints. Really enjoyed it and will definitely be back. What a great addition to the Hamptons restaurants. read more

Arthur's definitely IS NOT family style! Therefore the prices are expensive for mediocre food. The building is setup exactly like the previous tenant & the vibe is good. We were a party of four. Plenty of crispy bread with olive oil. The salad was plentiful & tasty. At this point it went down hill My wife & I shared pasta bolognese. Overcooked pasta with a tasteless red meat sauce. It was enough for one but there were still leftovers . Neither of us enjoyed. Our friend had salmon. She said it was ok. Ate about half & was finished. Our other friend had the veal Marsala. He said it was excellent! My wife tasted & it was ok. All in all not a positive experience. I'll give it three stars because: Fun ambience Ample size drinks The salad & veal dish was tasty so perhaps there is hope read more

I really wanted to like Arthur & Sons, but overall it fell short for the price and the hype. The atmosphere inside is very loud -- fine if you're looking for a lively dinner, but definitely not ideal for conversation. Portions are generally family-style, so I'd recommend going with a bigger group to actually try a variety of salads, pastas, and mains. Most of the pasta dishes looked huge, but the lemon fusilli we ordered didn't match that standard. A hungry person could easily finish it alone, so for the price, it didn't feel like good value. On top of that, it wasn't the bright, lemony butter sauce we expected -- more like an alfredo, with the lemon flavor barely there. It could work as a small shareable in a larger meal (especially since it's so rich), but definitely not worth the same price tag as their larger pastas. The bread they bring to start is fine, but free bread is free bread. Service, unfortunately, was the biggest letdown. It took about 20 minutes for our waiter to come over after we were seated (at 8 PM), and we didn't order until 8:25 despite trying to flag people down. Our salad didn't arrive until 40 minutes after ordering, and then our pasta was MIA so we had to call over a manager. Nothing was offered to acknowledge or make up for the wait, which really dampened the experience. In short: if you go, make it a group outing, order to share, and have some patience. For a quick dinner or a date night where you want good value and attentive service, there are better options in the Hamptons. read more

Upon my revisit to Arthur and Sons, I was really hoping that the food would wow me because the first time it didn't, so this was me giving them a second shot to try dishes that weren't recommended to get a feel for the food again. This time, we were greeted by our server who was being trained during our first visit. Now, he was our full-time waiter. As before, the hospitality and friendliness of the staff are not the issue. We were informed once again that the portions are quite generous and family-sized. This emphasis is clear in the restaurant, but it can be misleading. As a casual diner, I noticed that the online menu does not display prices, which usually indicates higher prices. For this visit, we were a party of two and started with Mom's meatballs. Again, there was an excessive amount of Parmesan cheese on top and a generous scoop of ricotta underneath with a sprinkle of oregano. Unfortunately, the oregano overpowered the dish. The meatballs had a very good texture and were quite soft. This time, the sauce was more decadent and enjoyable, though the meatballs were served a little cold. While the sauce was good, the meatballs themselves were just decent. Once again, they served just three meatballs for $24. We also ordered the chicken francese, the chicken marsala, and a side of broccoli with garlic and oil. The chicken francese tasted good, with tender chicken and a well-balanced sauce. However, there were only two small, thin pieces of chicken. Being informed about generous portions, I expected more. Charging $38 for two lousy pieces of chicken is completely unacceptable and, in my opinion, predatory. The chicken was of great quality and tender, but the portion was disappointing, and greatly exacerbated. The chicken marsala was also decent but not remarkable. The chicken was tough and not as tender as the francese, which was disappointing. The sauce was similar to a brown gravy with Marsala wine, traditional but nothing special. The broccoli with garlic and oil was okay. In conclusion, I am disappointed because I really wanted to like this place. I wanted to be wowed and amazed. Small critiques like the overuse of Parmesan cheese, the misleading family-style emphasis, and the sloppy plating, could improve the experience. The current approach feels like a ripoff. While the restaurant may do well with tourists and occasional diners, it leaves much to be desired for regular patrons local to the area. read more

Very good experience in our first meal here while visiting friends for the weekend. Four of us shared one appetizer and three mains and it was the perfect amount of food. Not family style like Carmines, but nice size to share. The Calamari appetizer was very good...not heavily breaded like most places, but crisp and spicy with sauce mixed in. The Cavatelli with broccoli rabe and sausage was very good and meatball parm/chicken marsala also solid. Finished the meal sharing a plate of mini-cannoli's. Young but attentive servers and staff. We sat in the dining room which probably would be loud if crowded, but they also offer patio dining which looked like a nice set-up. For a weekend at the beach, it's a great casual place that is solid and offering take-out a plus as it would travel well and be a nice topper for a casual dinner. We all agreed that we would return (outdoor seating or take-out definitely). read more

Great food and service. Had low expectations given it's a new spot but they were far exceeded. Huge family-style portions. We got the eggplant app, the chopped salad and chicken parm - all were great esp the first two. The chicken parm was good but my husband likes when it's pounded even thinner. Kids pasta was yummy and the bread and oil to start was great. We each got a drink - spritzes. Really enjoyed our experience. Kid friendly but also good atmosphere and vibes. read more

Absolutely loved this restaurant! My boyfriend and I got the spicy rigatoni alla vodka with a chicken cutlet added on. The chicken was cooked to perfection! The crisp was just right and the chicken was filled with flavor. The rigatoni was spicy and it was a flavor TOTALLY DIFFERENT from all of the other spicy alla vodka's (in a good way, obviously!) The restaurant is very pricey, but I feel that it is worth visiting! Our waiter, Jarred was great! He did tell us that the food is a big portion and that it was a sharable, however my bf and I felt that the entree was for one person only, given the size. We did share the dish, but it did make us satisfyingly full. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and I loved looking at the photos on the wall and outside was beautiful. The ambiance is really nice as well. I definitely plan on coming here again!! read more

Overpriced. Overhyped. Mediocre food. This place exemplifies what's wrong with East End dining. Expensive mediocrity

Our waitress was sweet but the food was sub standard. The meatballs had no flavor and the sauce fell below the quality of jarred sauce. The eggplant was so thin and impossible to cut or eat and was served with more sauce than eggplant. The spicy rigatonis were sour and just spicy with very little flavor. When the waitress asked how the meal was we told her and the manager came over and we shared the information with her she responded, "good to know." I give the consolation biscotti a 10. Save your money. read more

I was underwhelmed by the food, the restaurant is loud and they have the most uncomfortable metal chairs.

Awesome!! We loved our server Alex. He is the man and was super helpful and the service was great

Interested in a chicken dish? Adding chicken to your caesar salad? JUST DON'T inedible RUBBERRRR. My husband will eat most things and even he had to spit. it. out! Like someone else said: QUALITY is LOW and PRICE is HIGH. Maybe stick to a pasta dish? read more

The prices are honestly way too expensive. I know the portions are big or "shareable" but it's too expensive.

Excellent service and really yummy food! Our party of three ordered a salad, eggplant parm, and one pasta, and it was plenty of food. Everything was very well-prepared, and we look forward to returning! read more

As a local and Italian American I was so excited to come here! Limone pasta was decent, however portion is certainly not family style. Spicy rigatoni vodka was a 0/10 had a horrible bitter taste like refrigeration was terrible, place is cute but expensive for lack luster normal portion food. read more

We managed to get a 6:30 reservation at Arthur and Sons on July 4th, so we were pretty relieved to have a place to eat. The reviews online were mixed, but we tried to remain open, objective and excited about our meal. Only minor traffic on 27, thank you holiday, so we arrived in a good mood, and were greeted warmly by the young staff. We were offered a table or a booth, and chose the booth, even though it was in the back corner. The bus boy arrived quickly and glasses were filled, and the young yet professional waiter soon followed. Since we had already decided what we wanted, we ordered as soon as the waiter arrived. We had considered ordering the cheesy garlic bread, because, cheese and garlic bread, what could be bad? Prior to ordering, however, the bus staff brought fresh baked bread and a roasted garlic spread which was so good we not only forwent the cheesy bread, we asked for a second helping of the bread and garlic. My vegetarian daughter ordered the truffle gnocchi, and the waiter took the time to explain not only the dish, but the difference between black and white truffles, and which were in the dish. My wife and i were torn between the chicken parm and the shrimp fra diavolo, so i reared the former, she the latter, and we planned to share. Thank god we didn't order appetizers, because the mains were massive portions. At the end of the meal the manager came by to see how we were doing, and my wife asked if the mains were family style. The manager said, "Yes, didn't they tell you when you ordered?" Oops. The gnocchi was excellent, according to my daughter, as was the chicken parm (which does not come with pasta), but the fra diavolo, while good, was a bit too fra diavolo for us. So. Very young, yet friendly and reasonably professional, staff. They are new, and they clearly need some practice on explaining the family style thing, but if you understand that up front, and order a main and some pasta for 2 or 3 people, the price becomes very reasonable, and Arthur and Sons will be a solid addition to our dining out rotation. Looking forward to visiting in the off season as well, as they plan to be open year round, staffing permitting. read more

Overpriced less than average red sauce joint. Busy but food and service were horrible. The garlic bread was oily and cheesy but no garlic flavor. The Caesar salad with calamari was listless lettuce, store bought croutons, no red peppers as advertised and cold fried calamari. All for $39!which made it that much worse. The veal Parma is overpriced and have had better in a cheap pizza place. Veal was tasteless. Lastly the sausage and cavatelli was under cooked and really salty. Small portion and a joke. Lastly, the hostess was down right mean. So not necessary when we came on time and waited 20 minutes to be seated. Very disappointing and believe all should pass on this place. read more

I tried this place in the Hamptons and a few thoughts, staff very friendly the food is ok and very overpriced but the portions are big, we had 3 appetizers plus each had a main course, my friends had the fish with caper sauce but should have been capers with a side of fish! Completely swamped with capers absolutely no finesse with the dish, just awful, I'm sure it will do well as it was crowded but won't go back, had a few beers and came out $100 each! I'm used to spending out there but for average spaghetti and meatballs no, read more

We tried. Four times. We walked out tonight. Enough is enough with the hostess and her power plays. We had a 5:15 reservation. I requested a booth. All of them were set for 4 people. The hostess once again refused to give us a booth... last time we sat on those ridiculously cold, hard chairs the entire time and looked at the empty booths ahe refused to let us sit in. They were empty the entire time until we left. Tonight - she offered me a stupid pillow to sit on - one so large you would topple off- an outdoor throw pillow. I have a medical condition - I even travel with my own pillow. I tredged out to the car - through the EMPTY restaurant to retrieve my own pillow. I even told the hostess about my back and she refused to accomadate. I went to the car brought in my pillow and tried to make it work. Only one other table was in the restaurant. They tried to sit us at a four top and all the booths were set for four - we were three people. Our neighbors stopped coming here... saying they just dont appreciate them or accommodate. That for the experience they are overpriced. We are done as well and its a shame. Hire a real hotess - that is able to be flexible and withold an attitude. The serving staff has always been nice but the real servers end up working at other long lasting Bridgehampton restaurants. Really quite a shame.. we gave this place multiple shots and again the hostess resfused to acknowledge or assist with a medical condition. My pillow which is a proper chair pillow vs a throw pillow which I was offered didnt fit on the tiny, cold, metal chair. I remember when the owners opened they were present and involved and full of hope. May as well throw the towel in now if this is how you are starting the season. This has now happened twice... the food was not consistant in the past. Sometimes it was good, other times not. Either way... now I can officially say we will not return. This place is going to have to learn how to survive off of very hungry day trippers that cant get in anywhere else. Totally disgusted. read more

Average service - not bad but nothing to remember...terrible quality of food. I ordered the chicken Marsala and was really turned off by the sauce. It was basically the consistency of canned cherry pie filling jelly - way too much cornstarch / flour and absolutely no Marsala flavor at all....basically tasted like Knorr gravy powder packet mixed with cornstarch/flour sludge....the order came with two halves of chicken breast, one of which was very thin and tough to cut, and the other was half thin and tough and the other end of it was actually edible...would not recommend nor would I go back. Paul's and La Parmigiana and Il Cappuccino all are considerably better (these are still not the best...which definitely says something..) read more

Chicken parm was yummy in my tummy and the service was very friendly. I give Arthur and Sons 5 stars. Shine on!

Food terrible. Noise unbearable decor unendurable service pleasant. Prices absurd for the quality. Avoid !

After months of hype and crowds, we were happy to finally get a chance to have a meal here and REALLY wanted to be WOW-ed. Instead, it was "meh". Caesar was shareable but was smothered with GRATED (NOT SHAVED) parmesan. Other plates were not shareable. The "plus" is that the pasta dishes were served HOT. The overpriced food was just OK. They were not busy (only about 5 tables on a Sunday night), yet staff never came to check the table once dinner was served. This was NOT a "do again". read more

Overpriced Pizzeria Food, ie. Penne ala Vodka for $39, there is much better Italian food in the Hamptons for less money. I can't see this place being around for a second year with their current menu. Those of us who summer here are not stupid, we try you once, but if you don't deliver a high quality product at a fair price, we are not coming back. read more

If you like a low end pizza spot - like something from Melville or patchogue - then this is the place for you. It may be located in the hamptons - and indeed it has hamptons prices- but the lackluster service, unremarkable food and downbeat environment - are a complete turnoff. We had dinner there with a bottle of wine and the price point was equal to what we would pay at topping rose or bobby cans or Pierre's. This place was such a disappointment (and ripoff). Btw we ordered a bottle of wine which retails for $8.99 and we were charged $90.00! read more
