New Jersey Chicken Parm Ratings — Official Field Report - This cutlet was executed with precision: pounded thin, properly seasoned, never stringy, and mercifully free of that dreaded chew-factor that gets restaurants blacklisted from our task force. A true mission-ready foundation.
The vodka sauce came in hot — rich, flavorful, and surprisingly filling, with a bold black-pepper aroma that let you know this was no jar job. Comforting, but confident.
Backup arrived in the form of rigatoni that was clearly house-made, finished with shaved basil and a bright, zesty marinara that cut clean through the richness of the parm. The decision to run two different sauces was tactical brilliance — alternating bites delivered a constantly shifting flavor profile that kept the palate engaged from first fork to final casualty.
Final Score: 9.314 / 10
Arturo’s doesn’t just serve chicken parm — they understand the assignment. Mission accomplished.

Update. Weekend may present a problem, or under staffed. Dinner was disappointing from lack of proper service. So instead of enjoying ourselves, we spent our time trying to get another drink. Basically we were left to fend for ourselves and instead of staying for coffee and desert we paid the check and left. WOW! For my wife to rave at the authenticity and taste of the Cacio e pepe is a very high compliment. The Steak Pizzaiola was also very nice cut, properly prepared medium rare. Honestly, I like the way Espo's in Raritan, NJ prepares it with mozzarella cheese, the steak itself not as tender as Arturo's. The Staff was attentive and professional and service was perfectly timed. We will most certainly make this our new dining home.

Serves fantastic food but also provides a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, making sure every aspect of the meal was perfect.
A true gem for anyone seeking authentic Italian cuisine. From the insane delicious Arancini balls to the exquisite Chicken Marsala, every dish is crafted with care and passion. Paired with a fine glass of Pinot Noir, it's an experience you won't want to miss.

Food was great but the service lets it down. I ordered pasta - no offer of black pepper or Parmesan, never came back to fill our water. Overpriced for the service; better restaurants in Bergen for the price. Won’t return - underwhelmed.
