Dinner at Arturo's Osteria & Pizzeria in Maplewood, NJ

Dan and I went to Arturo's in Maplewood, which is owned by the same people as Razza.  Actually it's existed long before Razza, but Razza is so much easier for us to get to.  The area is very cute - very Gilmore Girls esque.  The restaurant itself is somewhat small, and even though we came by on a non-weekend night, the place was packed and we had to wait a good 15-20 minutes to be seated.  It was totally worth it as the food was just a delicious as Razza.  For me the environment was less pleasing than Razza, mostly because the acoustics weren't as good and this was a very family oriented place (aka lots of screaming children).  I'm glad we tried it because the food was high quality, and it was slightly cheaper.  However, the ambiance at Razza is much better, and we've never had to wait as long.  The menus are pretty similar so don't think we're missing out too much.
Kale Caesar salad.  Dan can never resist

Tartufo pizza - sausage, mushroom and truffle oil.  Delicious

Close-up.  Soooo yummy

Wild Mushroom Ravioli with garlic rosemary sauce and truffle oil. This was delicious, albeit super rich.
