Maybe it was my expectation but for me this restaurant did NOT live up to it's reputation. Upon entering we were greeted by a very friendly host and immediately seated. The wine selection was fantastic with countless wines to choose from, not that we'd know about it because the wine list does not come to your table unless you ask for it.\r

The waiters were very friendly and helpful except they were unavailable for most of the night. A 6:45 pm mid week dinner reservation turned into a 3 hour affair. While we passed the time with no problem it became evident that this establishment focused on bringing the customer in quickly and with great service but once you had ordered it was a completely different story. There was no quick bus boys or even full waitiers to refill the water, pick up finished plates (30 minute wait after we finished until our plates were picked up and our dessert order was taken) or even refill the wine.\r

The simple but romantic setting of Arezzo is negated by the loud customers seated closely together. I would avoid Arezzo if you are trying to have a quiet night as you simply will not be able to speak quietly because to keep up with the atmosphere you will have to talk loud yourself. \r
\r
The meals were prepared with high quality and fresh ingredients but there was really nothing special to make Arezzo really stand out - it was simply average. The only thing that stood out about my dinner was MY choice of wine and the simply amazing tiramisu (maybe I just love chocolate?!?). \r
\r
Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to make reservations for Arezzo again. It is an average restaurant if you're in the neighborhood looking for a place to eat and simply walk-in.
Pros: Dessert
Cons: Loud
