What Julia K likes about Arborvitae:
Wonderful spot in the historic district. Beautiful patio garden with good coverage from Apulian summer sun. Daily specials are made from the fresh catch of the day. Our jovial and passionate waiter Marco recommended our full meal and he did not disappoint. Lovely place for lunch, I’m sure a phenomenal place for dinner. Intimate location, knowledgeable staff and wonderful food. View all feedback.

What ThreeMichelinStarred doesn't like about Arborvitae:
Visited pre-pandemic and had a fantastic meal. Times have changed. Some of the food was still excellent, but unfortunately the overall experience has dipped. Sat in a corner by the service area under a stark light, this was not the relaxing, romantic evening that I remembered. Some restaurants took the opportunity to re-invent or self-assess during covid, this place seemingly did neither. Second and last time sadly. View all feedback.

"A really lovely deli lunch from this very authentic Italian bar. A big deli out the back where you choose wonderful food from and a front of house bar which makes you feel like a real local. Great atmosphere and tasty food"

"We had a lovely dinner here last night. We had fantastic local fresh fish which they show to you before cooking. The meal was delicious and perfect portion size. It is a little bit out of the centre and we drove to it but they had plenty of parking."
