Artu

Wholy garlic balls Batman! This place is better than most places in Italia! I wanted to eat here again this week but the powers that be kept me away. Ill be back and trying everything! Dont know the name if what i got but show the Garson the picture and you'll be set!(Garson means boy)

Not sure about the reviews... I admit to being a bit snobby about food/restaurants (25 years in the biz)Been going here for close to 2 decades when in Boston. There is space between tables! They don't rush you out like so many. The eggplant parm is superior... fusilli with rabi and sausage is also a 10.

In my opinion it was pretty good food. The wait time was decent, about an hour. My complaint is the loudness of the restaurant as it's small so the conversations tend to be louder. It was still a great visit. I recommend the calamari and the pollo parmigiana.

I've lived in Boston for years and always visit the same North End spots. I wanted to try something different and heard good things about Artu and i'm so happy with my choice!If you ask, they will make the chicken parm with vodka sauce and it's the BEST thing ever! Could not recommend it enough. Everyone else in my group also really enjoyed their meals. Will definitely be back.

Great service at the bar. The chicken Marsala was great. The spaghetti bowl was good too. The sauce is fantastic. Large portion of sangria too.

I have lived in the North End for 20 years. I have eaten in most of the higher-end restaurants and some of the median restaurants. Artu is one of my three favorites. However, I am disappointed that they are no longer open for lunch. The food is exquisite and I adore the pork and eggplant sandwich which is only available at the bar or for takeout.

After a long day we were looking for a late dinner (being on West Coast time). Artu fit the bill as it was recommended by another restaurant we called in the North End that was closed at the time. You walk into the charming front bar and it was bustling on a Sunday night at 11 pm. We went into the back dining room which was quiet at that hour. Our server Bryan was so pleasant and gave great menu suggestions. We had excellent calamari and the meatball appetizer was also good. The fusilli with sausage and broccoli rabe was fantastic with a little spice and garlic flavoring the generous amounts of sausage and rabe. Not greasy at all. The fettuccine Norcina also had generous amount of sausage and the cream sauce was light and not to heavy with cheese. The taste of the tagliatelle bolognese was on point with the red wine infused meat sauce perfectly balanced. The house chianti was a perfect accompaniment. All in all a great find for us and we will definitely be back when we are visiting family again. The team effort gets points too as we were immediately greated when we went to be seated and the food runner was also nice and refilled our drinks making sure we were okay (versus how some drop the food and run).

My fiancé and I came here hoping to trysomething new in the North End. We were completely disappointed with this place. The Burrata came with two tiny slices of toast (??) and the service felt very rushed. The fusilli was supposed to be a pesto pasta, and as you can tell was served to look moreLike a soup. When we told the server we were not pleased with our meal (which we have honestly never done before) , we were just told it's everyone's favorite. I wish I had something to recommend but honestly nothing we tried was worthy of a recommendation.

been a while and was always good until Sunday.Caesers had a strange flavor, was 85% stems and quite small for 12 bucks. Its North End, I get it but wow.Carbonara: disaster- undercooked pasta with very little and low flavor sauce- far and away from what one expects from Carbonara. I was upon to this version, but then another one was made, and instead of sauce, there was a half cup of bland broth of some sort. Total fail. Tucci would have been aghast. Likley never returning with so many other places that are reliable and I could have stayed home and cooked far superior carbonara

Food was bland, and unimpressive. Ambiance was BORING!!! It had a funny smell when we arrived. (Should have turned around right then and went somewhere else). But, decided to give it a chance. Feel like u wasted $150 and a restaurant experience. Do not recommend. Ordered-Shrimp scampi (SO bland)!!! Tasted like plain noodles.Fruti Di Mare (okay, but no major flavor, just a little bit of spice to give it at least something) also the calamari was chewy and overcookedShort rib ravioli was bland. Looked like it was dirty water for the sauce. The entire dish was flavorless, meat, and everything.So disappointing!
