Arturo's Tavern

"Forgot to get a picture before the chicken was gone (it was very good). Also loved the penne vodka. Very friendly staff, very good food. Would recommend"

"I have lived in Mahopac for 10 years. The first time I had food at this establishment was in June or July 2020, I had food to go, and it was one of the worst meals I’ve ever eaten. I knew I would never go there and eat at the restaurant. Tonight, three years later, I was out with my son and wanted to eat somewhere and I figured, maybe three years ago they had a bad night with everything that was happening with the pandemic, why don’t I give them a chance. What a mistake. Just entering the restaurant, you can tell how humid it was. I don’t care about what the motif is, I need to feel comfortable, and I did not. We sat down, and ordered our food. My son cannot decide between two appetizers so he ordered the fried calamari and fried ravioli. These two items were very bland and greasy. For our main courses, he ordered the chicken francese , and I ordered the veal francese. The sauce in these dishes was nowhere near a francese. You did not taste butter, you did not taste lemon, nor did you taste wine. It was this greasy puddle that made the meat so wet that all of the breading fell off into this greasy heap, and you were basically eating meat, and the breading was left in the dish. Never have I eaten a worst dish. The veal was tough, and inedible. I also noticed, that we ordered all this food, but we’re not given any bread, and I paid extra for a salad, that never made it to my table. When the waitress came over and asked us how everything was, her facial expression changed when she looked at me and saw my facial expression. I asked her, excuse me, this is our first time here, do you not serve bread with the meals? And she replied to me, didn’t I bring you any bread? And I said no you did not. Then she looked down at our unfinished plates and said, did you ever get your salad? And I said no please take it off the bill. She brought the check and with taxes we were forced to pay $81 for this nightmare of a meal. I always tip 20% because it is not the waitresses fault of how the food came out. And even though it was her fault that she did not bring us any bread and forgot to bring me my salad, I still tipped her 20%. I cannot recommend this restaurant in the least. Since moving up north 20 years ago from Yonkers, I find some restaurants are a hit and miss, this one is a total miss and a total mess."
