Ristorante Il Ritratto - Carpe Diem In Arco

We visited this restaurant for lunch during the Christmas period. It was a very positive experience, starting with the restaurant, which is very well-maintained and spotlessly clean. The menu is quite limited, which is reflected in the attention to detail given to the various dishes and the quality and freshness of the ingredients used. Kudos to the chef and the pairings, which, while unusual, were very successful. The wine selection is also excellent, and there are some options available by the glass (since the restaurant serves both fish and meat). The quality/price ratio is incredible. Reservations are recommended.

This restaurant is always a guarantee! We were here for our anniversary and, as expected, the food was delicious and the service was prompt and friendly! Thanks to the Chef and his staff :)

A delightful discovery. The food is of the highest quality, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff is courteous, friendly, and helpful. Excellent value. I recommend trying it if you're in Arco.

My family and I came to Arco for the Christmas holidays. I searched online for a good seafood restaurant and came across your restaurant. As usual, I took the time to read the reviews and look at the photos, and I must say I was very inspired. We booked and went there last night. We had seafood risotto and spaghetti with clams, and for the main course, red tuna and sliced ​​beef. Everything was really good. The place is small but very welcoming, the service excellent, and the hostess was very nice and friendly. I'd give it 10 stars, especially for the accessibility for people with disabilities. The bathrooms are also clean and tidy. The prices are between €30-40 per person. But they deserve it. Congratulations, if we return to this wonderful place, we'll definitely visit you again.

Good food, nice atmosphere. Both the man and the dog.

Chosen somewhat by chance, since it was our first time visiting Arco, a very pleasant surprise. Very good dishes made with high-quality raw materials, cooked in a pleasantly surprising way and with beautiful plating. The service was precise and impeccable but not intrusive, the wine list more than adequate... the bill leaves us perplexed for the quality/price ratio... I expected at least 10 euros more per person... highly recommended... thanks again!

Wonderful experience. 🥰 Before entering this restaurant, I had a bad experience elsewhere, where I felt left out. Here, however, I immediately felt welcomed, pampered, and truly the center of attention. The service was impeccable, attentive to every detail. The dishes were delicious, carefully prepared with great passion by Chef Aldo Tiboni. The atmosphere was made even more pleasant by the relaxing music. One detail that particularly struck me was the final gesture: the chef personally opening the door for you, welcoming you with a smile. It's precisely these small gestures that make the difference, and they are priceless. Here, you can sense a true balance between the quality of the product and that of the service. Congratulations to all the staff; I will definitely be back. Olga

We dined at Il Ritratto di Aldo Tiboni and had a truly wonderful evening. The kitchen clearly works with high-quality ingredients and great care. The pasta was particularly outstanding: the menu listed spaghetti carbonara, but since they had run out of fresh spaghetti that evening, we were informed and served linguine instead. This wasn't a drawback at all – rather, it's a sign that everything is prepared fresh. The dish was absolutely delicious. The seafood pasta was also very well prepared: fresh mussels and clams, all clean and perfectly balanced in flavor. The fish course was good, if not exceptional – solid quality, rich sauce. The dessert – a white chocolate mousse – was a real highlight: light, creamy, and absolutely delicious. To be fair, I should also mention that I found a fishhook in my fish soup. This can happen with this type of fish, and I spotted it early on. You would have noticed it in your mouth anyway – so it wasn't a real problem. We ended up having a good laugh about it with the chef. In fact, the owner not only cooks himself, but also personally collects payment from each table at the end and says goodbye. There was only one person working in the front of house that evening – and although there aren't many tables, it was quite busy. Despite this, everything was friendly, calm, and well-organized. That deserves respect. The restaurant's prices are absolutely fair for the quality, the portion sizes, and the personal touch. A very pleasant evening – we'll gladly return.

We were pleasantly surprised by the very tasteful dishes, especially the suggested arragosta (lobster) starter, good wine, and the warm atmosphere!

We visited this restaurant in Arco a few weeks ago. The young lady who welcomed us was kind and attentive, and the service was attentive and courteous. The atmosphere is quiet, and I really appreciated the background music, which was soft enough to allow for pleasant conversation. The dishes were a surprise, extremely balanced in flavors and textures. It was a wonderful evening for us, and we'll definitely be back soon to try other dishes.
