This was our second visit to Artusi and we loved it just as much or maybe even a little more than our first visit... The ambiance is good. Service is attentive if not overly friendly. There are a number of tables and 2 bar seating areas... one at the actual bar and the other at the open kitchen. We really enjoy sitting at the open kitchen bar as we get to watch all the cooking action! Everything is hand and fresh made here... the noodles, sauces, meatballs and everything else... And oh... those meatballs... the BEST in town by far! Beautiful sauce, hand formed meatballs with excellent herbs and seasonings... serves fresh out of a pot where they have been simmering in sauce... the special pasta of the day is always amazing... today we also got the risotto which was superb! The burrata dish was perfectly excellent and paired with a light salad and finally... the melon sorbet was like eating frozen melon bursting with flavor!! Wow! A meal to savor and we can't wait to go back!!
Nice interior and friendly staff. We had tagliatelle and ravioli. The food was delicious, but the portions way too small. We left the place still hungry. Since we also want to please our stomachs and not just our palates, I'm afraid we won't be back.
This spot has definitely been “discovered”. Great food, especially the fresh pasta, but now noisy and impossible to get a table.
The food was good but $40 for a pasta dish that was just six small pieces of Ravioli was outrageous. When I mentioned to the staff they called the manager, who asked me what else would I like to eat and I mentioned that some more ravioli would be good. I was informed that would not be possible! I suggested that I was the customer and I was dissatisfied to which she replied anything else but ravioli. Later she sent over some olive oil cake to lighten our mood. I don’t eat cake but my dining partner had some. The experience left a sour taste in my mouth.
