Arturo's Uptown Description:
Chef Arturo Boada, whose father is Colombian and mother is Italian, dubs his cuisine new Italian, light but flavorful. He also throws in a large dose of Mediterranean dishes to keep things interesting. The crowd is also fun---expect a 30-plus group of well-traveled professionals who live and work in the area. Lunch on uptown pizza margherita, creamy yellow bell pepper soup or the Mela salad with apples, Gorgonzola and walnuts. For dinner, we like the frutti de mare seafood soup with mussels, clams, shrimp, snapper and mixed herbs; and the Mediterranean grilled chicken breast with olives, artichoke hearts and capers. Among a range of good pastas are generous shrimp fettuccine in creamy cilantro pesto sauce and angel hair pasta with clams. If you just want an appetizer at the roomy and bustling bar, sample the tempura fried shrimp and artichoke hearts; or Sonia's ravioli stuffed with chicken and porcini mushrooms, topped with a white wine-basil sauce and lump crab meat.
