Owner and Chef Richard has relocated his restaurant from the Cerritos Town Center location.Recently went to dinner and already his new menu has a lot of dishes to choose from.The french onion soup was amazing!! The onions in the soup were really flavorful.I highly recommend the lollipop lamb chips with the toasted baguette as a starter. The flavors with the baguette and lamb chop are out of this world.For the main dish i got the fettuccine with sausage and prawns in a butter cream sauce. WOW!! The combination was just right.I will be coming here on a regular basis. For parking there is plenty of street parking on Bellflower Blvd. or off Cedar.

I'm not big on going out on Valentine's Day because of the crowds and especially 2025 it fell on a Friday I was really not trying to stress on finding a great place to eat. But earlier in the week I found one of my favorite restaurants from back in the day opened back up in Bellflower (originally in Cerritos) and they had openings at a decent time that fit my schedule. Definitely a hidden gem for Bellflower and I'm sure it's going to be a hot spot soon enough. Service was great from the moment I walked in from Bojana I believe was her name. They had a Valentine's Day menu that came with wine pairings so we opted for that and added a rack of lamb. We also got a complimentary ceviche mini tostada to start the night. Every bite of food was devoured. My steak was cooked to perfection, the sashimi was fresh and had sized cuts, and the rack of lamb was excellent. The seafood platter of lobster, scallops, and prawns was also utterly delicious. To finish we had chocolate crème brûlée and whoa! It was so good I wanted to another one lol. Everything was set in a nice moody atmosphere that just made everything right for a Friday night dinner.

This is the new location of Arte Cafe, which used to be located in Cerritos. The restaurant is charming and has a different vibe than the previous location. This one is modern with some traditional qualities. It is on the main street of Bellflower Boulevard. There is street parking right in front as well as a small parking lot of the nearest intersection (across from Starbucks).Now let's talk about the good part -- the food! Chef Richard is the owner and he does modern American cuisine where it has fusions of French, Italian, and Asian. For example -- I had a his Long Life Noodle with Wagyu Beef. The flavor of the beed was paired so well with the noodle and the texture was delightful. His Sea Bass with a lemon caper sauce (made with butter most likely... we all know butter is the secret ingredient to all French cooking!) was seasoned perfectly and it wasn't overpowered by the lemon zest and capers. I really enjoyed his Wild Mushroom Crostini... and crostini is an Italian food item! So that is why I put this restaurant's type as New American because it is a melting pot of different cuisines. The next item I want to try is the Short Rib! I heard that one is delicious.Since this restaurant just had its grand opening recently -- not a lot of people know of it's existence. I have been there twice so far on weekday nights for dinner. It isn't busy and the service is good for the intimate setting that it is. Someone is always there to clear plates and refill your beverage.

This restaurant is a gem. Great variety of selections. We tried several items: diver scallops, clams & mussels, jumbo prawns, lobster ravioli, lamb lollipops, French onion soup, and lobster & prawn bisque, all delicious and flavorful. Good customer service attentive and friendly. Nice ambience you can come here for friends dinner or a have a lovey date. We visited on Valentine's Day, it was a great option, we were seated right away. Would recommend this place.

Great service and nice place. I like the decorations and ambiance inside. Richard is very nice!

Been wanting to try Arte Cafe for a while now. I had been to their location when it was in bellflower many many years ago and it was fabulous then. Did NOT disappoint at all!Service was on point and very attentive. We ordered the lamb lollipops & arugula salad to start and it was amazing. Dinner we had the sea bass and braised short ribs! Portions were enormous and the word "delicious" doesn't do it justice!Cannot be any more enthusiastic about this hidden gem. It is a must must try !

Always great food. Here's amazing Seafood Tower !! My family loved it !! .. It was so yummy... Chef and Owner Richard Alm always wonderful entree's....Steaks, Chilean Sea Bass, Pasta ..delicious .. Never disappointed when you dine there. Good friendly service ..

OMG I'm glad that Chef Richard reopened his restaurant. The former was in Cerritos Town Center, it was a favorite of ours. Now located in Bellflower, it's just as nice if not nicer than the old one. The food is always perfectly cooked, and so delicious! With this new location you MUST make reservations! We will be back dining weekly. Come out and treat yourself to some delicious and amazing food.
