  This was my first experience here and it won’t be the last. The atmosphere is simple but the cuisine is remarkable old world Italian. Our table had a mixer of the salmon special, vodka sauce and Alfredo sauces, all were great, and even the pickiest of eaters was raving about how good it was. Always save room for those Italian desserts, they were soooo good.

  Place is always noisy. Acoustics are horrible. Sauce on the pasta was bland at best. Seafood on pasta was gamey

  Well for my first time living in PA most of the restaurants that I’ve tried either have dull service with bland food or dull service served with bland food; however, I hear about this quaint spot and decided to give it a try like everything else I have since being here which has only been roughly 3 weeks. In my opinion the ambiance is simple and inviting, which always shows more times than none that the food will be up to par if not better than expected judging off of past experiences else where. I had a great lady for s server who offered me a variety of options in which I chose Trenna with Vodka sauce in addition to Aracini, and a rack of lamb with garlic whipped mashed patatoes and I must say it was well worth the journey. I mean the food in itself was beyond exquisite and flavored to perfection! I just couldn’t believe it literally! The lamb melted away in every bite then something as simple as mash potatoes brought to life as if to say yes your taste buds are working. All in all I felt welcomed, and left with not only a full stomach but s piece of mind knowing that there are still places in this city let alone state that still can “throw down” in the kitchen. If the wife decides it’s a cook- free night then it’s off to Arpino to get a genuine home cooked meal without leaving the country!!!!!!

  Nice, tiny, clean, cozy. The staff is great and efficient. The food is really very good and they try to rotate the main dishes so to offer a wide opportunity to taste different preparations. Probably the best in the area. I was really satisfied with my dinner, with the size and quality of the portions, the only point is that it’s not so easily found.

  Fantastic service, amazing food, and very cozy atmosphere. Proprietor can often be found among the tables, sharing a glass of wine with friends old and new. Rotating specials keep the menu fresh, to accompany the Italian classics. BYOB makes Arpino's a great value!
