Now that the holidays are upon us, I attended a party at the Arte Cafe at 106 West 73rd Street, right off Columbus Avenue. Located on the Upper West Side, Arte Café is located in a landmark brownstone steps away from beautiful Strawberry Fields. It is celebrating 30 years of family-owned service serving upscale Italian cuisine, including artisanal homemade pizzas and gourmet desserts.

Here is the outdoor eating area (was too cold for that!) and the bar area and dining room.

And what did I decide to order?

I’ve been on a salmon theme lately, so it was no different tonight. I ordered Faroe Islands Salmon with Seasoned Herbs, Sauteed Spinach, and Roasted Potatoes.

Arte Cafe was excellent! If you find yourself on the Upper West Side, it’s a nice place for dinner and Happy Holiday celebrations!
