515 Queen St E, Sault Ste. Marie, ON P6A 2A2, Canada
Quaint, relaxed Italian dining room with a compact menu, chef's specials & snug bar with wines.
Arturo's is a nice Italian restaurant. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. However, the kitchen was a bit slow, so it was a 2.5-hour dinner stop. Pricing seems a bit high for combination of location, food type, and overall experience.
Great place, atmosphere! Food is tasty quick service!
The food was delicious and the portions were quite large. It seems like everyone was taking leftovers to go!
Amazing food. Nice atmosphere. Server was polite and helpful. The serving sizes were quite large. Definitely recommend and would go again.
We, a group of 7 out-of-towners who had just rolled into town after an 8 hour drive happened to stumble upon this restaurant on Sept 15. We did not have a reservation, and Tom the owner, offered us bar seating. If we were ok with it. We were glad to take that offer, and were not disappointed. Tom looked after us from start to finish, and went out of his way to make us our personal cocktails based on our preferences! Even showed us the longest pepper mill he had :) Amazing food and most of all awesome service! Thank you for taking care of us Tom!
Stopped here during our drive from Calgary to Toronto. Best meal on the trip. We were greeted and seated right away. The service was excellent from start to finish. The meals, from starters to deserts were incredible. Not a single missed step. Some very creative dishes. Sault St. Marie is lucky to have a spot like this. If you're anywhere near this establishment, go pay a visit, you will not regret it! Thank you!
An unexpected elegant twist - absolutely do not judge a book by its cover! (Only reason I rated 4-stars for Atmosphere) A very unassuming and simple exterior in the downtown area. Small but very very good. Making reservations might be a good idea. I travel for business and stumbled across this spot - I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to experience this awesome Italian cuisine! Food all tasted great! Very nice atmosphere.
An Italian restaurant in downtown, in Sault Ste.Marie The most delicious and unforgettable meal. The lighting of the restaurant is very dark, the background music is very stylish, and the atmosphere is very good. My waiter is very professional. Very delicious Italian food, lamb chops and duck breast are very good. The salad is very fresh. The freshly ground black pepper adds a new level to the dishes. Food is too tasty even forgot to take photos. I had a wonderful dinner. I'll choose here when I visit the city again.
We had a great time and amazing service.
The blueberry duck is fantastic and the spinach and scallops also great.
A bit disappointed. Just moved to town and we went here to celebrate, the special pasta I got was drowning in water. Decor is a bit tacky for me and the server was asking way too many personal questions and the food was only so so. Very pricy for what it was. Probably wont be using my money here anymore.
Great food, with great service and a great atmosphere. High end food and we always leave full and satisfied.
Tasty dishes, impeccable service! I highly recommend it.
Absolutely fantastic. Had lamb shank, spectacular. Tom you have a great place.
Tried this place for dinner. Had such a great experience that we went back the next night for dinner again.
super super delicious i will come back for it
Exceptional food quality & service, this was the best meal weve had our for dinner in a long time. First class food.
Ordered penne arrabbiata, I order often there for take out, it s always been amazing but today it tasted horrible, I ve never had such horrible penne arrabbiata in my life before, hopefully next time will be better. Giving 3star because of this time. Every other time it s been 5 star worthy.
Always very good food. Great service. Great seafood pasta. Food : 5/5
My son brought me up to the Upper Peninsula for my birthday, and took me to the Canadian side of Sault St Marie for dinner. The server was awesome, the atmosphere was great and the food is FABULOUS!
The grilled calamari was heavenly. Excellent meals
Excellent service, delicious meal. We had the salmon and shrimp special and for dessert the lemon cake. We were served cute little tapenades as a starter.
Amazing food. Had bang bang shrimp which was awesome and the BEST steak Ive had in ages. Had a great server (from Australia!) who also made this incredible lemon cake. Will definitely be back! Thanks for a great night. Recommend coming here.
Great fine dining! Amazing food and staff. So many reasons to go back. Thanks Tom
The owners are great people. Treat you like family! Love this Italian Restaurant.
Im never disappointed. Its pricey but worth every penny. Russ, Dee, Tom, theyre all top shelf. 10/10
Great place to eat and great food... Its a tiny bit pricy, but hey, thats the world for ya these days
Absolutely delicious. Great service and atmosphere.
old school sault resto
Only the best, fine dining restaurant in the Sault and area. Tom and Chris have the best menu, staff and experience you can get for real, authentic Italian flavours.
We came for a late Valentines Dinner. Food and service was delectable and warm. Keep up the tasty cooking and see you guys again soon for our Date Night
Visited the soo for work, stopped by this restaurant and enjoyed the ambiance and service. Food was good for the area. We ordered the baked burrata, pumpkin ravioli & filet mignon. First time having a baked burrata and it was really good , and a little messy! Both our meals included a salad which were great and well dressed as well as an order of bruschetta. Steak was cooked medium rare perfectly and we ordered the peppercorn sauce on the side which we enjoyed over our plate. Ravioli was alright, the sauce was nice but i wouldnt get it again.
Food was good, the atmosphere on the other hand wasnt. Other people there were very loud and drunk. Service was fine.
First time dining at Arturo. I havent had such a wonderful experience since I worked in Toronto years ago. The food, the service, the atmosphere were just perfect! Nothing can match this in the Sault or many other places. Thank you!
Went for dinner with a party of 8 to celebrate an anniversary. It was my first time dining at Arturos, and the experience was of the likes of a five star restaurant in Toronto or Montreal. Fantastic drinks, all entrees were delicious and the service was impeccable. We we re seated in a private room upstairs which was quaint and offered a more intimate dining experience. Will definitely return next trip back to the Sault.
One word: EXCELLENT!!!
Very loud crowd sitting next to us Very noisy, not relaxing at all. Dietary restrictions: Accommodating to vegan and lactose intolerance
Ive been to a lot of Italian restaurants in bigger cities (Vancouver, Toronto), and Arturos has been consistently the best spot. The food and service are always excellent. Tom the manager is superb in guaranteeing a wonderful experience every time!
I wish we could the service 10 stars! Amazing experiences awesome meal! Looking forward to next time
Lamb shank with a rich sauce and a very nice dinner experience. Visited twice in April. Food and service was top rate. See you again soon.
Always Amazing
Tried this restaurant for a early evening dinner to celebrate a birthday. Service was good and the atmosphere was good also. Our appetizers were good, specifically I ordered the escargot which was exceptional in my opinion and I would definitely order again! Our mains (Orecchiette/Pumpkin Ravioli) were unfortunately very average at best, we eat a lot of pasta dishes and we didn t feel that these dishes in particular warranted the price point. Hopefully it was just a off night.
Beautiful dinner to celebrate my friends birthday, beautiful table and decor upstairs, beautiful food and beautiful service. Dont miss out and enjoy!
Our first visit. Tom was as welcoming as if we had been in his home! The bits to nibble on while our dinner was prepared, were delicious and just the perfect amount! Inspired our appetites but did not encroach on the main fare. Dessert with accompanying Cappuccino was the perfect balance of sweet. Thank-you Chris and Tom for making our 15th wedding anniversary beautiful. We will be back!
We visit Sault ste. Marie about once a year. We always make a reservation at Arturos and we are never disappointed with the food and service. The owners Chris and Tom are excellent at what they do. They also have a wonderful wine selection to choose from to accompany your meal. Unfortunately I did not take any photos this time of our meal. We hope to go back again soon.
Wonderful experience from the time we entered the restaurant and greeted by Tom the owner. Food off the chain..
After seeing the review, me and friend were exited to try out that restaurant. Upon arrival, we realized the restaurant was fairly busy. The lady told us that we could only sit at the bar due to no table was available. However, a co-worker offered to clean a table and it would take about t min. The lady almost shoo him away and enforced we sit at the bar. We were dress pretty casual and I always was under the impression that she was snobing on us. Anyway, the filet mignon was cook like asked, however it tasted average. For a price tag of around 65$, a regular chain steak house would have done better for 45$, such as Chop or the Keg. The pasta were decent but fairly pricy. There definitely no wow moment. 4/5 on pasta, 3/5 on filet mignon for been really average for the price, and 2/5 for that lady service. 5/5 service on the other gentlemen. Overall experience, average at best.
The food is so good I am salivating while eating!
I had the pleasure of dining at Arturo while I was in town this weekend. The food was amazing, I loved the complementary bruschetta. Our server was so personable and informative. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked and super saucy! Highly recommend.
We went there for New Years Eve.The food was amazing and we had so much we had to take food home. Our server was very friendly and a very nice young lady..Chris outdone himself again with the meal..Always a great place to have a special meal and all the staff is great. And very reasonably priced. Thanks again..
Fantastic meal, beverages and service! We had a larger group and were accommodated very well. Great time over all.
OMG....love love love Arturos! The food is amazing, the service wonderful. Everything is always tasty amd fresh. The specials are always different ideas with a flair....last Friday it was a red snapper with lobster sauce and ravioli...AMAZING! So much food rhat I get leftovers for the following day. One of my favourites is bang bang shrimp, escargot and the veal! The ceasar salad is amazing as well as the smoke duck! Thank you Tom and team for a great dining experience! (Photo attached is leftover veal and pasta...such a great meal even reheated as a left over! Yummy
We had the special, 10oz ribeye with shrimp and lobster ravioli. We also had the clams in white wine and the escargot for appetizers. Was excellent. Service was excellent too. Great ambience. Definitely some of the Saults best food. Be prepared to pay for it tho. Two of you arent dining for less than $150 if youre drinking more than water.
Great staff. Delicious food. People were dressed very casually for dinner. House Malbec by the Half liter was perfect amount for us. They presented to us complimentary tapenade and bruschetta. If you prefer a cozy but upscale dining experience, this is the place.
Amazing food, and service to match
Quality food with amazing staff that made for a fantastic experience.
Too bad the owner couldnt care less if we were there or not. Food was amazing, though prices are through the roof now, and the service was good as always.
Excellent food and service
1st time here, very nice environment, Tom was very nice, well known of what I saw from other customers. He attended me at the bar. If I am ever around, I will definitely be coming by again. Food was spectacular.
Outstanding meal with exceptional service.
Always the best. Consistently amazing.
Excellent food and service.
Great staff, service and food . A bit pricy but everything is excellent. A wonderful experience
What a wonderful experience!! We took our daughter for her 15th birthday The food was incredible the service was amazing!!! I absolutely highly recommend
Amazing food, service & atmosphere. Highly recommend the restaurant to everyone.
The Best!!
Great atmosphere and food. Smoked duck is really a specialty and must try, order more if you like it. Just mind that it may take a long time for the mains to be prepared, if you dont have hours to spare.
Vegetarian options: Veggie fajita was great! Enough for two meals!
Great service and fantastic food!
WOW. One of the best meals we have had in a while. While it is on the higher end of the price scale there is more than enough value to make it worth every penny. Service was great and the owner has stopped by each time we have been there to make sure we enjoyed our experience. Thanks for the great meal see you on our next special occasion.
Arturos Dining is an experience from the amazing service, wonderful food...never a miss here. I love coming here for any occasion. Thank you Chris and Thomas for a wonderful evening out.
Great as always. Vegetarian options: They had many vegetarian and gluten free options. Food : 5/5 |
Lovely place. Accommodated my gf/df, vegetarian teen! Wonderful!
Excellent food and outstanding service always makes for a wonderful and fun dining experience!!! This is a restaurant that you must try out!!!
Was absolutely amazing food. The service was phenomenal. Stopped in the Soo on our way through and so glad we choose this place for our anniversary dinner. Puts the keg to shame with the quality for the price. Definalty will be back if we are in the SOO again
Amazing service and great food. I left it up to the owner to make dinner for a family of 7. They could not say enough about the quality and variety of delicious food. Thank you.
Exceptional as always. Great food (I had the Red Snapper, it never disappoints) and great service.
Great authentic Italian food.
Excellent. Take-out didn t take away from the quality and flavor. I m thankful a Manitoba friend recommended this place for our stop in Sault Ste Marie. Egg noodles taste like they were made today, and best I ve ever had. Lobster Ravioli was fab. Fantastic Caesar dressing. Don t pass this place up if you need a quality bite on the road.
Amazing food and amazing service. Very homey atmosphere. Best Italian food Ive ever had. Owners care a lot about the place and you can almost always see them there.
Cant wait for dine in. Dinner for 2 special could certainly feed a family a culinary delight.
Phenomenal food, service, and atmosphere. It doesnt get much better than this. Seriously.
Great food. Scallops on a bed of sautéed spinach - amazing.
Great service, food was great, recommend the Lamb, delicious. Will definitely eat here again!
A small piece of Italy, a perfect sample of italian cuisine. My family and I have spent an amazing time!
Cannot write enough good about this restaurant! The experience is always worthwhile, and the food is so wholesome, warming, and delicious. The perfect place for a date night, or just a great meal.
One of the best restaurants in town. Very good service and the staff is knowledgeable about the menu.
We stopped here twice on our way to and from Thunder Bay. The service was amazing and food was great too with generous servings. We were able to customize the meals for our picky teens which was really nice. Coming from Toronto, the pricing seemed reasonable for the quality and experience.
My wife and I hosted our reception at Arturos. The service and food were phenomenal and had numerous guests tell us it was the best reception they had ever been too. We couldnt thank the staff enough, would highly recommend.
This fish came out like this .. just kidding . I had a bite before taking the pic. Beautiful traditional Italian restaurant. Really upscale place and delicious food. It was a Pleasant surprise to find this place. The service was amazing as well, very friendly people. Will be back for some mussels and wine
Great service wonderful food highly recommend
This was the best dining experience Ive ever had in Sault Ste. Marie. Service was quick and very attentive to us. The prices here are higher than most of the restaurants in the area but the phrase, you get what you pay for definitely comes to mind here. The food quality was so high that I cant stress this enough and I was truly satisfied with each plate. I would describe most of what I was served as artisanal because you could clearly tell everything was made with fresh, quality ingredients and it was cooked with professional care. I wouldnt be able to afford eating here weekly or even bi-weekly but its definitely one of the higher pleasures you can treat yourself to while in Sault Ste. Marie.
Service was slow and food was OK but for the price we would had expected better
Delicious Food, and excellent service!
Great food, friendly staff and owners. Ive been told wait time for food could be long, but it was fine during our visit.
Enjoyed some fantastic late nights apps and superb drinks at the bar. Great service always
Pricey af but one of the best steaks Ive had. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming even if youre not a turtle neck wearing Chet.
One of the best meals ever!!!
We had a fabulous time with Dale and lots of friends and family!
Great place locally with superb customer service and great food.
Great food... top shelf in the Sault... Yes the prices are higher than some local restaurants, but the quality of food is excellent. If you get an appetizer (I highly recommend the escargot or the scallops and spinach) and a main, youll probably leave with a takeout tray with half your meal for lunch the next day. The brothers who own the place are good people, worth supporting with your business.
Thomas and Chris never fail. Amazing night as usual
It was absolutely amazing!!!!
Amazing quality food and service!!!
Absolutely a must if you like authentic Italian food.
Unfortunately found a long black hair in my Caesar salad. Wasn t offered anything aside from a new salad (which I declined) and paid full price for the meal & wine. The pastas (Gorgonzola gnocchi and lobster ravioli) were quite dense and underwhelming. Servers were nice but I would not return.
The menu has interesting options and all the dishes we ordered were well prepared and tasty. Prices are moderate/high. There is complimentary bruschetta before dinner and then complimentary bread with dinner. The salads that come with the dinner entrees were delicious and well dressed. awesome
A bit more expensive than average but worth every cent. I had the best duck I have ever eaten. We were just passing through & only chose Arturo s because we saw an outdoor patio. How serendipitous, as it was the best food we ate on our trip.
My fiancée and I came here for dinner and we were blown away! The food was so delicious - we had the scallops and spinach for an appetizer, and the saltimbocca di vitello and spaghetti alla marinara. As well, our server, Daniel, was amazing! They had a homemade hot oil that was the best to add to our pasta and just to have with bread. We can t wait to come back.
Always a fantastic meal and experience.
Delicious food and wonderful service. The smoked duck with blueberry reduction sauce was rich with flavour, and the scallops on spinach were a great starter. The complimentary bruschetta was a nice touch. For entreé we had the seafood spaghetti marinara and it was amazing. Great portions too, to share for two. 5/5!
Great food friendly staff 100% recommend
Always an excellent restaurant experience. Food is great ,Whether it s their daily specials or menu items. And don t forget their amazing host/hostesses, always fun and helpful.
great food the taste is really awsome
Exquisite service, absolutely delicious food and wine paired with an elegant and warm yet unpretentious atmosphere that will make you want to come back again and again. I absolutely love this place!
Best meal I have had in a long time. Dont leave without tasting the tiramisu Its amazing
Arturos is the best place for fine dining in Sault Ste. Marie. The food is always fresh and delicious, the wine list is extensive and the service is impeccable. Tom the owner and the rest of the staff are very friendly and attentive. A must visit place when in Sault Ste. Marie.
Love the way Arturos always makes me feel like family the food is amazing!!! The service is Amazing...everything is amazing we love this place for date night, networking meetings, casual dinners, drinks with friends any occasion these guys rise to the occasion
Incredibly Delicious food, Thoughtful, excellent, and attentive service! The Ambience and Atmosphere were, absolute, perfection for our event. Massive Thanks and appreciation to the Team at Arturos!!!!
Food was amazing and gracious hosts!!!
Excellent food quality, variety and taste
While a nice setting and pleasant enough staff, the sequencing of the meal and wine service was very disappointing. We ordered a very nice wine for the main course, only to have the meal delayed in arrival until the wine was fully gone. Unacceptable! Then, when wanting to enjoy an authentic Italian dessert, we were advised there was none left. After learning the halibut special was also gone early, leaves one thinking the place isnt deserving of its fine reputation. Very disappointing overall... given the prices charged.
It started off fine, but waiting an hour for our entrees while watching tables around us come, eat, & go was extremely frustrating
I made a reservation in advance online and was called back by the owner, i pre ordered my food, and pre paid on phone before I arrived. My wife and I were completly taken care of, we came in sat down right away they brought drinks right away. They started us off with smoked duck, it had a beet reduction sauce on it, that mixed with the smokey flavor was incredible. My wife had filet mignon medium rare and I lamb medium/pink. Our meals were cooked to perfection, the portion sizes were generous, the side of mushrooms and potatoes were so juicy and flavorful. We ended our evening with espresso and my wife creme brulé and I had tiramisu which was made that day, everything was top notch! We were treated with care, the staff was delightful, happy and courteous, they didnt interrupt us at all and yet were still there to always look after us. It was a perfect birthday date and i would encourage anyone looking for a fancy dinner date to come here! Thank you for completly looking after us Arturo ! :)
Great food.
Best food in the immediate area
The veal was exceptional.
Located on the Main Street in downtown Sault Ste. Marie. Cozy restaurant with warm decor. Note that the restaurant is very small, and a locals favorite, so reservations are recommended. The menu has interesting options and all the dishes we ordered were well prepared and tasty. Prices are moderate/high. There is complimentary bruschetta before dinner and then complimentary bread with dinner. The salads that come with the dinner entrees were delicious and well dressed. The Gamberoni fra diavolo was very tasty and it had enough spice to add flavor but not so much to make it impossible to eat . Papperdelle allo zafferano was delicious and well prepared. We asked our server to change the papperdelle for angel hair and they were gracious to do it.
Amazing restaurant, the food and service is always excellent and Chris and Tom are amazing.
Always an amazing meal and experience, we want with a group of nine and when we were deciding on wine Tom simply asked if wed like to do a family style meal with hand selected wines. The service and food quality is truly on a level of its own!
Excellent food and service
A meal to remember for sure and the most wonderful service as well. We would highly recommend Arturos for a special occasion.
Unbelievable food.
Amazing dinner and awesome staff. We always have a fantastic evening at Arturos. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Amazing Food with Amazing friendly service.
So incredible! Food and service out of this world! Plump mussels, caesar salad, and Gamberoni Fra Diavolo while enjoying a very good Bartolo wine. Dessert was great coffee and the lightest tiramisu Ive ever had! This place is a must for visitors and locals alike. Fine dining at its best! Our server Andrew was very attentive and knowledgeable...an experienced treasure for Arturo! Big complements to the chef and owner!
Greatest food on earth. Risotto and ravioli were wonderful, with the freshest sauce, a lot of seafood, complimentary salads and bruschetta. We both loved it and ate all although each dish is enough for two. Its not cheap but when the best was cheap?
Very expensive
I Absolutely Love this Restaurant its Fantastic and the food delicious. Beautiful view. Quite romantic. The food Wonderful Presentation. The Hosts are Wonderful and Very Polite and Accommodating.
The best seafood risotto I ve ever eaten. I was sure there isn t good risotto in Canada. I was so wrong! It tasted better than in Italy. We god complimentary salads and bread. Large portions. Very friendly and helpful staff. One of the best restaurants we ve been in Canada.
Fantastic food, great atmosphere and the staff are amazing
Exceptional food and service.
Wow, impeccable food. These chefs are artists that create delicacies. Hoping theres a patio next summer!!
Lobster ravioli was delicious.
Excellent service, food, and ambiance.
Awesome food and service This is not your average restaurant. This place produces culinary works of art. Its not inexpensive, so dont go there expecting a cheap meal. Arturos is where you go when you want something above and beyond average.
Best Italian in the Sault! Proscuitto wrapped figs with goat cheese were amazing. Will definitely be back.
Awesome food, long wait
Very nice food ...good quality!
Okay but expensive.
Best place to eat in Ontario!
Excellent food and service
Amazing, great tasting food
