Artu

I have been a fan of Artu' for the last 20 years (since its opening) and I can still say without doubt that I have consistently had great food in a great, fun atmosphere and have endured great service each and every time I have dined there. Love it, love it, love it!

The Vitello Brachelittini is the BEST

When Artu's opened I went here and had a fabulous meal. True North End quality. Two months later I brought 6 clients (from out of town) and I was completely embarassed. The food was horrible- the special was a joke. It truly looked and tasted like leftovers all mixed together. Did the original chef quit? I will not be back. Don't waste your time or money!

I brought a group of customers here mostly because of other reviews I read. It wasn't bad, average at best. The bread was cold Food OK service was not that great. Not what I was expecting.

just finished eating here. I rarely review restaurants but I thought this one deserved it. arrived at the restaurant on a Tuesday night to find a very taste full appeal to the entry of the building. when you first walk in to the restaurant the bar is immediately to the left and to your right is a wall of what appeared to be leather bound almost a suade squares on the wall lighting was dimmed but not beyond a comfortable level to read a menu. we were immediately asked if we would like to be seated but the bar tender and hostess was quick to seat us. dining area was not very large but certainly served its purpose and decorated with a great abstract painting that was about 6 feet long on the wall. we were seated at the front of the restaurant near the window. I prefer this seating because well quite frankly I am a people watcher lol. There was more then enough seating space to be comfortable and not hitting the chair of the person directly behind me. the waitress was quick to greet us probably about 1 min from the time we were seated. She greeted us kindly and offered us water with the choice of bottled water if that is what we preferred. menu was rather extensive in the entre portion with a variety of pasta dishes and various chicken seafood and veal as well. I was very please with the selection. I had a few questions about how some of the food was prepared as I am from a culinary background( I attended johnson and wales in RI). The waitress was fairly knowledgeable about the dishes that they served. This was pleasant to hear. I settled on the tortellini with Alfredo. when prepared fresh Alfredo sauce has the ability to rich of a buttery flavor or have an overbearing Parmesan cheese flavor. I actually have to say that it might be one of the best Alfredo sauces that I have had. waitress asked us as customary after a few bites if everything was to our liking and it definitely was. even the portion size was to my liking as it was just enough to feel satisfied without over eating. over all great experience and price value for the entire menu was definitely desirable. This is a place likely to become one of my favorites in the north end.

overall awesome experience, get the veal carrozella

I had the chicken parmesian here last week and it had very little cheese and sauce, did not come with pasta, the bread served before hand was stale. I wouldnt reoccomend this place. Ive had much better at the North End
