Lookout Fargo-Moorhead!

If you haven’t heard the buzz around town about the posh new restaurant Arabbiata then read on!

Fargo has been waiting eons for a restaurant of this degree and Arabbiata has not only satisfied that craving but mastered it! Arabbita is Italian for angry. When applied to food it means hot or spicy. If you go, be sure to try their signature dish--the Smoked Salmon Wrapped Scallops.

Fargo's newest dining hot spot boasts the epitome of culinary inspiration and perfection while allowing their guests to dine in a stylish but comfortable atmosphere. Arabbiata may sound upscale--and it is, but don’t let that stop you from going. As long as you aren’t wearing ripped jeans or a punk tee-shirt anyone is welcome. Even the music is laid back and very chill--some of their music selection includes Jack Johnson and Sarah Bareilles.

Head Chef Gary Hancock is a well rounded and highly versatile cook. Skilled in more than a dozen cuisines Chef Hancock’s cooking style has been dubbed “Millennium Cuisine.” One of the newest trends of big city restaurants and fine dining establishments is catering to each individual guest’s wants and needs. If he has all the necessary ingredients, allow Chef Hancock an hour and he will create whatever you desire--Iron Chef style! There are country clubs that wouldn’t even bat an eyelash at requests like this. Vegetarians are also accommodated upon their request. Another big city trend is tasting menus. Starting in September he will be offering set multiple course meals with a prefixed price.

If you are feeling adventurous we highly recommend the shark. It’s not one of their menu items but it is featured regularly and we guarantee that you will agree that it is worth every penny. If not the shark, we also recommend the Dilled Encrusted Salmon--the best dilled salmon you will find in this part of the country. And to give you something new to chew on, Arabbiata’s menu also changes seasonally.

If you really want to dine in style and comfort and have a party of at least six, opt for their private dinner table complete with leather couches. As business continues to increase Chef Hancock plans to relocate the vip table to the center of the restaurant on a raised platform. Now that’s pretty hot!

Hands down, we give Arabbiata five stars.
