19Seventy at the Ovalo

Head over to 19seventy at the Ovalo inside the Hilton in Arcadia, and this new spot is quickly becoming one of my favorite neighborhood gems. The food is wonderful, the service is spot-on and friendly, and the whole experience feels fresh and thoughtful. The menu is clever and creative, with a nice mix of classic Italian-American comfort and modern Sicilian touches—everything is well-crafted and full of flavor. We started with one of their homemade pizzas, and wow: the crust was amazing—perfectly crisp, chewy in all the right ways, and topped with super fresh ingredients that really shone through. It felt like true artisan pizza without any pretension. The highlight, though, was the Short Rib & Pappardelle. This dish is meant for two and served table-side with real flair—the chef tosses

We had a lovely dinner at 19Seventy tonight! My husband and I both ordered the Salmon Piccata and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked, bright, and flavorful. Since the restaurant is newly opened, everything feels fresh, clean, and beautifully designed. There was only one other table of diners while we were there, so the service was incredibly attentive in the best way. It felt calm, relaxing, and like a little hidden gem inside the new Hilton. One funny note — the music seemed to skip abruptly between songs, almost like someone kept tapping the “next” button. Not a complaint at all, just something we found amusing! Overall, a great low-key but elevated dinner spot. We’ll definitely be back as they settle in and get busier. Highly recommend the Salmon Piccata!

This Italian restaurant offers an exceptional fine-dining experience with truly exquisite food. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared and full of rich, authentic flavors. Pair your meal with their delicious drinks for a perfect evening. A wonderful place to come and enjoy refined Italian cuisine in an elegant setting.

10/10 experience. I had the cheesecake served with pistachio sorbet and a berry purée, topped with fresh berries—hands down the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. The texture was incredibly smooth and almost butter-like, reminiscent of whipped cream or crème brûlée. Perfectly balanced, not overly sweet—just right. The Pinot Noir paired beautifully and elevated the dessert even more. Chef Alex and Chef Arnulfo are true experts in their craft. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience. I also loved the music selection and overall ambience—it tied everything together flawlessly. ✨

Excellent breakfast at 19Seventy! Staff and service were incredible, my family and I had the best time. We ordered the Americano, Avocado toast, and the Catania’s Wave.
