Arti’s Italian Restaurant

If you are looking for a really great Italian meal please check out Arti's. The pizza was so flavorful and good. We live out of town and plan to move to Midland TX but I can see us coming down to Arti's to enjoy another meal . Thank you for the great customer service and food .

OVERALLHow awesome it was to find Arti's Italian Restaurant in West Texas! This is a really good option for casual dining with limited options for adult beverages and some amazing sounding desserts.RATING BREAKDOWNFood: 4.5 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 3 PARKINGFree all along the plaza area.LOCATION/AMBIANCEThe actual restaurant is almost smack dab in the middle of Pecos, TX. It's on Oak St in the middle of several other businesses between 2nd and 3rd Streets. The front door was quirky, giving everyone a wee fit who entered. No one greeted us when we walked in which is always awkward, but it was a seat yourself place with a variety of tables and booths from which to choose. Music played low, so low I don't remember what genre was playing.THE GRUBEverything tasted really good and came out hot. + Complimentary table bread & sauce (pretty good! Don't fill up on it, though.)+ Fried ravioli appetizer (very good)+ Half serving of lasagna (by request for my 9-year-old)+ Half serving of spaghetti plate with a meatball (by request for my 10-year-old)+ El Salvador calzone ($16.95) - I really enjoyed this. It is comprised of "red sauce base, beef, & mozzarella, chicken, cheddar cheese, & jalapeños." It comes with a small bowl of delicious dipping sauce.LITTLE YELPER'S CLUBIt's not particularly kid-friendly. There were no kids menus. They should really reconsider this since this seems like a family-oriented restaurant. No wonder I didn't see any other kids other than a baby. They have baby slings/high chairs.SERVICEThe service was a bit lacking especially at first on 1/13/2024. Once our meals were served, we never saw our waitress again. I guess I didn't want dessert after all. Also, I have no idea how much anything was as we ordered half plates for my kids and was never given a ticket. My bill was over $75. Pretty steep if you ask me.MY FAVORITE PART...The fried ravioli and my El Salvador calzone.NOT SO FAVORITE PART...The service & the steep pricing.TIPTry the fried ravioli app.

The food was delicious. We ordered a pizza as well. That's the chef and it was super good. We loved it. The staff were friendly. It's a five star rated restaurant for a reason.

Thanks fellow Yelpers for this gem!!! Easy 5-stars because the food is excellent and the service is very friendly.The restaurant itself isn't going to knock your socks off, and if you're offended by oil workers in baseball caps and families with little kids, then be off with you. But if you want some damn good Italian food served in one of the last places you'd expect to find damn good Italian food, well . . . We had the manicotti and lobster ravioli. The former had a wonderful sauce and the baked crust was wonderful. Add gooey cheese on top to compliment the plentiful ricotta--superb. The lobster ravioli was mouth watering good, and each one had a pan-seared shrimp on top. The vodka sauce (??) accompanying the ravioli was so good, I dipped the homemade garlic knots in it until it was gone. Did I mention the garlic knots. Served hot and with just a dash of kosher salt -- WOW!!Please note, they don't serve wine, but you can bring a bottle with you (not sure if there is a corkage fee). They do have beer and soda. Also, we arrived about 5:15pm on a Thursday evening. Place was full by 6:00pm, and there was a steady flow of people getting takeout.If you're staying the night in Pecos during your travels, get to Arti's!!!Cheers!RS

My family and I stopped in today as we are making a cross country drive. It was the most highly rated restaurant in Pecos, where we are staying for the evening. Everything was full of flavor - not bad pricing either!I had the Tour of Sicily which features lasagna, fettuccine alfredo, and chicken parmesan. The lasagna was the best I've ever eaten (I forgot to take a picture of this).The deserts were great too (I did not forget that picture) An absolute GEM in Pecos, Texas.

We live in Arizona but travel through Pecos every summer. We always have dinner here and look forward to this wonderful Italian food. It's a simple restaurant, but absolutely delicious food.

Waitress was new and a little overwhelmed. Owner brought our food out and others showed up to wait tables once it got busier, so it worked out. Food was delicious, much better Italian food than I expected to find in a little town. Friday night football fans filled it up before the game so I guess it is well supported here. Would have no problem returning if in town again. It is obviously a family-owned place as what appeared to be a daughter working the register... I don't think she was too happy about working on Friday night but, I have been in her shoes when I was her age and remember it well...lol... just hang in there, kiddo! Definitely happy we picked this place for dinner!

Food here is good, no disappointment Service is great ,pizza, tour of scicly and their special menu

Great food and service. On our 24 hour road tripi we found Arti's with their reviews, and after eating here, I will say the perfect 5 reviews are well deserved. Thank you!!!

Excellent service nice atmosphere and decent food. We were surprised to find something that wasn't Mexican food! We left stuffed!!
