Ristorante Il Ritratto - Carpe Diem In Arco

The perfect dinner to celebrate my birthday. We chose this place because we wanted to eat something delicious in a quiet setting and celebrate another year, and it exceeded all expectations beyond our wildest dreams. Excellent wines, friendly staff, and the tuna tartare was out of this world, much better than many beef tartares I've eaten (and I say this as a meat lover). Then came the spaghetti with thick ragù, which almost moved me to tears at how good it was, with that enveloping sauce that made you feel satisfied with every bite. Finally, a Garronese sirloin steak, strictly rare, that melted in your mouth, with an excellent mustard sauce and a delicious rosemary and olive oil cured meat; every bite was a delight. Special mention also goes to the seafood pasta and the swordfish. I don't usually give too many compliments to a place, but here they are obligatory. Excellent ingredients, well-crafted and carefully prepared dishes, friendly staff, perfect combinations and flavors, more than fair prices, and adequate (I'd even say generous) portions. What more could you ask for? Compliments to the staff; if we pass through Arco again, we'll definitely stop here! Well done!

Great diner here ! Nice calm lovely place, two polite, smiling and welcoming professionnals. The dishes were delicious and beautifully served. It was a very good moment for us. Grazie mille ! The three frenchy cyclists

We spent a truly lovely evening here last week! The food was incredibly delicious (especially the tuna tartare and the pistachio semifreddo!), and the service was very friendly. It's hard to believe that one woman could manage the entire service so well. High praise! The seating is lovely in a quiet, picturesque side street! The value for money can also be considered excellent. At the end, I even briefly met the chef/chef while paying, who also seemed very pleasant. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended for non-pizza eaters. Spaghetti with fish, tortellini filled with cheese sauce. Excellent. Great value for money. Very friendly. Great atmosphere, both inside and out. Located on a side street. No parking, as it's in the city center. Public transport is available in the city center. We were there by bike. We would gladly go there again.

A nice little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating in a quiet side street. The food was really good, and everyone was very satisfied. Friendly and attentive service rounded off the overall experience.

Fantastic food, both fish and pasta extremely delicious and refined. Very tastefully decorated, friendly staff. And reasonably priced, too. Truly a hidden gem!

The food was excelente and so was the service.

The food was excellent, the quality was excellent and the preparation was expert. The service was excellent and the bread basket was also...

A glass of house wine was added twice to the bill. Unfortunately, a tip was also added...

The food was amazing and it was served beautifully. Definitely gives fine dining vibes, but the prices are normal and affordable. Service was wonderful and kind too.
