Took my wife and daugther here on Mother's Day to have a nice dinner close to home here in cerritos. It was the second time we have eaten here, the first time being pretty average. First off, I really wanted to like this place since it is literally across the street from us in the cerritos towne center. There aren't... More

I had eaten at this restaurant a few times over several years always with very good experiences. The place is misleading first because it is in Cerritos, which I do not consider to be one of hot spot restaurant and entertaining centers of So. Cal, and because the restaurant is located in a somewhat middle collar shopping center. But my... More

Went there for a group dinner on a weekday night. This place definitely looks upscale and service is generally good (would not say excellent, as they forgot who ordered what in our group of 9 people). Their dishes are reasonably priced and the entrees include a choice of soup or salad. I had lamb chops and they were prepared really... More

Been going to ARTE for several years. Can count on great food, but a turnover in personnel makes service iffy at times. Usually acceptable, though. The petite filet is a bargain, and the raw fish and sushi are dependable and fresh. Best restaurant in the area for personal service and chef-prepared dishes. Good menu variety with imaginative specials. More

Arte Cafe located in the Cerritos shopping center quite close to the cinema and the Cerritos legitamate theater it looks like an expensive restaurant but actually the prices are quite reasonable and the food is rather good. Our favorites include the lox and bread points, and the squid and vegetable platter It's easily the best restaurant in the area More

When I lived in California, I ate here over 150 times in 3 years. Once a week, minimum. It was 20 minutes from my house and Chef Richard just did it right for me. A vast selection of off-the-menu selections, I believe I only held a menu 10 times. We would sit down and say, "He's allergic to shellfish, she... More

Had a very nice dinner here. Outstanding service. Good portions and quality. Definitely a step above TGI Fridays. A little pricey but easily found reasonable items on the menu. Did I mention the outstanding service? More

It's been a while since I dined here. I like Cafe Camilia (and their lobster ravioli) in Bellflower better, so I was a little disappointed that this sister restaurant did not live up to my expectation. The food was good and the service was attentive. I'm just not a big fan of french/asian/ pacific rim fusion type of cuisine. This... More
