Arturo's Ristorante

Top choice in Northern Ontario


A shimmering jewel in a dismal downtown strip, decades-old Arturo's is the kind of place you remember after your vacation has ended. Atmospheric but unpretentious with soft lighting, starched white tablecloths and European scenes on the walls, the Italian mains such as veal marsala and chicken piccata (with lemon and capers) are tender and succulent, the sauces rich, and wines appropriately paired.

There are also dedicated pasta, salad and starter menus, with the likes of escargot and smoked duck on the latter.
