This review may be tainted by the fact that we had an amazing meal the night before at another restaurant and sadly Arcano didn’t measure up. Had one of the tasting menus. Some of the tapas (the duck and the sausage brioche) were excellent, the mains and the deserts were average at best, my husband’s cod was watery and unevenly cooked. The service was initially very slow with no sense of welcome, but did improve a bit later on. Sadly, not worth it for the money.

Excellent dinner—eggplant starter, sardines, tuna as main course. Only ravioli was mediocre. Sauvignon blanc wine by the glass was very good. Service was attentive and friendly. Beautiful restaurant inside.

Nice setting and atmosphere. Reasonably priced but the most important thing…the food is very average. We also had to send a fish main course back to the kitchen twice as both were undercooked, to the point of being cold to the touch in the middle. How they managed to do it twice is beyond me.
