    Arturo’s is my favorite spot for lunch. Always great food, excellent prices and an even better staff. At Arturo’s, I can relax and zone out for the lunch hour. There’s not many places downtown that can offer that effect. Try the Italian beef, Mac n cheese, pizza or any of the sandwiches, you won’t be disappointed.

    I went here for a breakfast sandwich between taking the train at Union Station. They were very warm and friendly. A great interaction to start my day!

    The atmosphere is so warm and it smells amazing walking in. The staff is always kind and prompt with service. The lunch deals are phenomenal and the flavor is not discounted. A place worthy of becoming a staple in your visit lists. Their sandwiches are quality meat and addicting.

    I have the pleasure of ordering lunch from this Establishment. From breakfast to lunch, their menu is great. It is a great place of business. From the staff to the Manager, their service is outstanding! They help me in so many ways. Ordering lunch is never a problem with them from small to large. I will use them every chance I get. Thank you all for such wonderful service! Jacqui Navarro

    I came in here early in the day and had salad, pizza, orange juice, coffee, and a cookie. EVERYTHING was amazing. When i go out to eat, this is exactly what I hope for!!! Every item i ordered was really good, very fulfilling. When I left, I kept looking at the menu and wanted to order more even though I was totally full. It’s that good!! The restaurant is clean, the people are friendly, and there’s plenty of seating. I can’t believe they call it ‘express’ — the food is better than most dine-in restaurants. Did I mention the coffee was just right?? Not too strong, not too diluted. Just perfect. I give this place ten stars and hope they win some kind of award from the city of Chicago. So wonderful!!!!!!

    Seriously the best Italian beef I'd ever had in my whole life!!!! The cheap, affordable price and friendly staff are just wonderful bonus. It is my first visit to Chicago before noon and this place is so much more worthy than other deep dish places in terms of the value for price!! Just try it and you'll see. The best breakfast&lunch place in downtown.

    New to the area, and needed a quick sandwich. I stopped in and was greeted soon as I walked in. Service was perfect. I ordered the Genoa (Italian sub) and a couple tiny cannolis. I wish I got a better shot of the full sandwich, but before I knew it, half was devoured! I don't know if they bake their own bread or what, but it was PERFECT. Not stale or hard, it was soft with a little bit of crunch to it. I did order it toasted. The toppings weren't over the top where when you take a bite everything falls out. Can't wait to come back next week and check out their breakfast sandwiches!
