The star of the show is the sandwich selection, all on a choice of focaccia or seeded roll, with many including stracciatella, a thick, white, creamy, Buratta-like cheese. Almost every item in the store-- from meats to cheeses to drinks to candies and snacks-- is imported from Italy and you can taste the difference. This ain't your daddy's Boar's Head. -- Tutto: Tried on focaccia, with Mortadella, Soppressata, Capicola, Prosciutto, Provolone, Stracciatella Cheese, Tomatoes, Onions, Pickles, Hot Cherry Peppers, and Garden Greens. Very creamy cheese, almost mayoey in texture. It took some adjustment on my first try, but I got used to it quickly. Strong flavors overall. Very enjoyable. -- Matto: Tried (on two different visits) on a grilled seeded roll, this packed Prosciutto, Soppressata, Sharp Provolone, and Hot Cherry Peppers. Bold flavors from the coldcuts, sharp cheese, and perfectly toasted bread, all in the right proportions to enjoy every flavor and texture. This was spectacular and will be a repeat sandwich for many visits to come. Excellent sandwiches. Nice people. Easy ordering via Toast (they don't have a website). Limited hours-- weekday lunches only-- and hard to spot, but in the same parking lot as the convenience store. I'm not an authority on Italian sandwiches but I've had my fair share from the "name" places in and around Boston, and this unknown gem from the outer suburbs ranks right up there with them. Some may argue they charge Boston prices, but for Boston quality without the Boston hassle, well worth it. Solidly in my lunch rotation.

Of course, no celebration is complete without something sweet, dessert was hareese and kunafe. From start to finish, everything was bursting with flavor & the service made it feel extra special.

Not much to look at from outside nestled in a tight residential neighborhood with limited street parking but complimentary valet service. Going inside of the restaurant ,however, the space is much more upscale and very nice. Prices were what I would expect for an upscale menu of this quality with most entrees between $25 and $40. I look forward to returning!

The falafel is fried perfectly on the outside, and moist in the middle. Lettuce, tomatoes, onion, tahini..ask for it toasted. It's massive too. The pizza is solid. Great crust, nice tasting sauce. I've always ordered a small; my only complaint is with the small, it should be cut into 4 slices, not 8..It gets kind of mangled. Next time I'll try a large. The staff has always been super friendly, and accommodating. Watch out: You'll be greated by an Italian puppet as you walk in the door..I always mistake him for a human. The inside is clean and compact. There's maybe 6 or 7 booths and tables for dinning in. Much of thier service seems to be takeout, as there were many people picking up food when I was in. My only hope for the future, is that they continue to expand thier middle eastern menu.

Our server was great (sorry I've forgotten your name) and offered great suggestions. For starters we had the rolllantini, meatballs and we asked if they would sauté the calamari. They did and it was all excellent! The suggestion for the short rib did not disappoint, perfectly tender with great flavor. The risotto and Brussels were both perfectly done. My fiancé had the shrimp scampi which she enjoyed, her son had an enormous serving of chicken parm while her dad had the pasta primavera. We had cocktails before dinner and the Rutherford cab with our meals. Desserts were also outstanding with the star of that show being the pistachio gelato. Really first rate. A real gem of a place with a fantastic ambiance. A must try.

Traffic in the area was heavy, and I initially missed the entrance to the parking lot. Fortunately, I found street parking about a block away. Once inside, it was easy to understand why parking can be at a premium. The restaurant was packed. Another patron entering at about the same time mentioned that the place is always busy. Our BNO crew is usually five strong, but only four of us made it this evening. We had a 7:15 p.m. reservation and were seated within a few minutes of arriving. It took about five minutes for our waitress to reach the table, but she did an admirable job considering how many customers she was serving. There were plenty of tempting items on the menu. We ordered: Appetizers * Ahi Tuna - Cajun-seared ahi tuna with Asian sesame and Napa cabbage slaw ($17) * Calamari - Cherry and banana peppers with cocktail sauce ($16) * Caesar Salad - Romaine, Parmesan, croutons, and creamy Caesar dressing ($13) * Mixed Greens Salad - Mixed greens, carrot, cherry tomato, red onion, cucumber, and honey-lime vinaigrette ($13) Entrees * Shrimp Francese (Dinner Special) - Five jumbo shrimp prepared Francese-style with scampi risotto and roasted tomato ($34) * Bolognese - Linguini with veal, beef, pork, and a touch of cream ($27) * Cioppino - Linguini with clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, spinach, and tomato broth ($36) * Grilled Salmon - Parmesan risotto, roasted Brussels sprouts, and lemon cream ($31) Dessert Pistachio Ice Cream Special - Shared four ways and absolutely delicious. My ahi tuna appetizer was excellent. I was less impressed with the Shrimp Francese dinner special, which had a slightly fishy taste. I also sampled the calamari, which was flavorful but served a bit cool for my liking. The other members of our BNO group enjoyed their meals, especially the bolognese (a very large portion), and we all agreed that we'd happily return. The restaurant itself is attractive, but be aware that it gets very busy and quite loud. If you're looking for a quiet, intimate dinner, this may not be your first choice. If you're looking for energetic atmosphere, good food, and a lively crowd, Arcos delivers.

Service was great with Mari, she's a professional, very polite, very sweet. The food came out hot, I love that. The stuffed mushrooms were ok, just unappealing in a brown sauce. The chicken pesto burrata needed salt and pepper which isn't kept on the tables but hand ground by your server upon request. I would've liked to control that. The burrata was minuscule, only enough to accompany 3/4 bites. The chicken was pounded thin, heavily breaded, crunchy, unappealing. My wine glass was dirty and had a lipstick rim. No photos.

Positively nothing disappoints. Ever. I can make a dozen recommendations but truly no matter what you get it will not let you down or leave you hungry. Gets crazy for lunch and can be wild on the weekend for pizza but it's 10000000% worth the trouble to get here and the wait. Service is wonderful and if you have the time to sit in and have a meal, do try to. It's very small, very casual and feels like having the best lunch you ever had at your aunties house. As mentioned it's rarely quiet in there so take out is best overall. I recommend calling ahead for sliced deli meats or things like that as they really appreciate that. If you ever see the cherry cobbler in the fridge do not skip it - you'll regret that. Here's the inside tip - there is not a better Caesar salad with chicken this side of the Mississippi. Dead serious about that !!! They have my business for life and possibly beyond. I'll be haunting the place for arancini balls as a ghost.
