What people say, in short
Arabella is an Italian place where pasta is made in house, described as delicious and served in a casual, bar-like setting with small plates. One diner lists it among non-vegetarian restaurants that still do great vegetable dishes, and another names the Yoko Ono as a favorite. The main caveat is ambience: one commenter says it suits a family hangout better than a romantic date, and another finds the food not the best but the happy hour deal genuinely good.
