5 Stars: Arrivederci Italian Restaurant is simply the best! (by Wendy K.)

I have never had a meal I didn't absolutely loved. The shrimp with pink peppercorns is the favorite of the moment. Prior to that I loved the lobster...everything they serve is incredible and very different flavors. Not like most italian restaurants. Arrivederci is in a class of their own!

I love going here for their Minestrone soup on a perfect day... Everything on the menu is delicious, even the bread that they give to begin with. It's on one of the popular streets for Hillcrest!

I really like the gnocchi as well the rest of the great selection of Italian food they offer. They do take reservations still, which is a blessing because they can get really crowded since it is such a small place. The ambiance is great and they have cute Italian waitors! =)

This place has the most amazing lobster ravioli. I have been here four times and it tastes better everytime I order it! This place has a real home town itialian feel with clean bathrooms. Just about everything on the menu is good.

3 Stars: Italian flair and ambience. Okay food. (by Christopher M.)

This place is always mobbed when I go. It is a very fun little place that has the flair, excitement, and ambience of a restaurant in Rome. The hostess, and some of the wait staff appear to be genuinely Italian. Very fun.
But the food is truly average, in my humble opinion. To be fair, my ex-girlfriend loved this place. She ordered Osso Bucco every time we went there. And the Osso Bucco is pretty good. But the Lasagne and Ravioli were quite wanting. Typically, they overcook everything--which would explain why the Osso Bocco is so good.
They have great values on Italian wines, and you really feel like you are in Italy when you drink enough of them.
Worst of all, this restaurant is DEAFENING. It would be perfect for an intimate meal if it weren't so loud.
So, yes, I enjoy it.
But I always say that I don't intend to go back. Remember, lots of people love this place!
