Arco Cafe, at 886 Amsterdam (103rd Street), has been handcrafting, cooking and serving fresh pasta to the UWS for six years. Arco was a neighborhood hangout–for families, solo diners and groups seeking fresh, healthy, regional Italian dishes. But when COVID-19 intervened, brother and sister Daniele and Francesca Fiori, who came to New York from Sardinia, felt they had no choice but to close.

Now, the beloved neighborhood restaurant is back. As of April 18, Arco Cafe has reopened for takeout and delivery to a wide swath of the UWS. They are focusing on what they do best – homemade fresh pasta, sauces from scratch, salads and desserts.
