#5

Lorena's

 French • Maplewood

“So special on so many levels”, this BYO “jewel box” in Maplewood from chef Humberto Campos Jr. and his wife, Lorena, offers a “top-notch” experience – i.e. “divine” French cuisine and “wonderful” service in a “cozy, romantic” setting; while some find it “expensive”, others insist the “attention to detail” “justifies the tab.”

 #50

Arturo's Osteria & Pizzeria

 Pizza • Maplewood

“Outstanding” pizzas featuring “local produce” on “beautifully blistered crusts” come out of wood-fired ovens at Dan Richer’s “wonderful storefront” BYO in Maplewood; service is “friendly” and “efficient”, but some advise “get there early”, because tables can be “hard to get”, though many insist the “lines are worth it.”
