The restaurant Artu has been our favorite in Boston for many years. The food is very tasty and perfectly cooked. We have always had prompt seating, taking our beverages and meal order. Everyone who was working at Artu yesterday were very welcoming, and checking to be sure we were happy about our experience!

One of my favorite places! Went for my son’s birthday! He lives in the North End. He received a beautiful birthday card and a birthday gelato that we all shared. The food is outstanding as is the ambiance. And Samuel our waiter was AMAZING! Can’t wait to come back.

Food was great, just a little tight depending on where you’re seated. We got the truffle Arancini to share, so delicious! Im not usually a huge arancini fan, but this made me change my mind:) I got the Milanese for my entree, it was nice and crispy. I also enjoyed the arugula salad on top, it was perfectly dressed. I will say, I love sitting on the patio during the summer!! Best spot on Newbury in my personal opinion!!
