Artu was founded on the most basic Italian technique, great ingredients, simply prepared, that is what Artu is all about.

In February of 1992 Artu opened its doors to the world, starting with outstanding sandwiches and mouth watering roasted meats, we continued to evolve and grow. Since then we have steadily added to our repertoire. From those sandwiches and roasted meats, we have produced old-world comfort food dishes to current interpretations of those classics that still make the most discerning eater reminisce of their childhood.

    Our waitress was excellent... very pleasant and welcoming. The gentleman serving the food was grouchy and practically threw the food at you. My dinner of chicken donato was excellent. My husband's meatballs were cold however. Perhaps a pet peeve but no soap in the bathroom is gross. Overall just ok... not as good as I remember it being.

    We were in Boston for our grandson’s participation in the Foot Locker Northeast Regional XC Champions’ Race in Roxbury the next day. I chose Artu from a list of “top restaurants in Boston” on Google. We were not disappointed. Our waiter was a delight, warm, friendly, well informed; our food was delicious, one of the best Lemoncello Martinis ever; and the ambience was just what you’d hope to find in the North End. We will definitely make a point to return to Artu on our next visit.

    Went for a nice Italian dinner in the north end before the Celtics game. Wasn’t over the top impressed. The food was palatable and decent but I was a bit disappointed in the overall quality of the dishes.

    I love Artu’s, I have been coming here for about 30 years. Th3 food is always excellent and the service is always great. There are a lot of great restaurants in Boston’s North End, but this is my favorite.

    Our 4th night in Boston and this was our least favorite. We heard a waiter at a nearby table explaining the specials to them….we never heard of specials. The waiter and the food were just “ok”.
