Shout Out: Arturo's Restaurant in Maplewood

The Chef at teeny tiny Arturo's in Maplewood has just been nominated for a James Beard award for "Rising Star Chef of the Year."  That's the Academy Award of cooking.  Rumor is you can't get a Saturday night reservation for their 6 course tasting menu until May. (I'll let you know when I call to make a reservation tomorrow).


But in the meantime, its still a great place for a delicious well-priced dinner.  Incredible wood oven pizza, great pastas and other lovely small plates, with lots of specials.  BYOB.  It is small--personally I prefer this for dinner with my husband at a tiny table for two and leave the kids at home...they won't appreciate pizza this good and sophisticated anyway.

Here is the New York Times review to read.
