L'Artusi has become one of my favorite restaurants in all
L'Artusi has become one of my favorite restaurants in all of NYC. Wow. What a great dining experience. My boyfriend and I were seated upstairs and even though the table was close together to other tables, I didn't even notice because we had such a fantastic dinner. Food | Started off with the sheep cheese appetizer for a small bite, and it was really delicious. The crackers tasted like an ice cream cone in a way but the cheese and the pickled strawberries balanced it all off. For the main dishes, we got the hanger steak with potatoes and the cacio e pepe. GET THE STEAK! It was such a highlight of the meal - from the whipped butter and potatoes to the steak itself - you don't want to miss out! The cacio e pepe was cooked al dente, but I thought there was a bit too much pepper. Honestly, really enjoyed it regardless! Lastly, we got the cheesecake and it was SO good. The mango sorbet was such a perfect touch to the dessert. Next time we will get the ever popular olive oil cake!Drinks | We got a bottle of chardonnay and it was really good! The waitress we had was super attentive, too, which I appreciated. She was constantly refilling our glasses.Overall, would recommend booking a reservation ahead of time - this place gets so crowded but the ambiance is perfect for a date night full of good food and good drinks. I didn't feel rushed at all and the service was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back!

Fav Italian food in NYC.
Delivers well too.
😍
One of the best meals I've had in recent times.
Already can't wait to go back. Had a bottle of chardonay, some cheese to start, the cucio e pepe, hanger steak, and cheesecake for dessert. The steak stole the show and was incredible. Will probably try other dishes next time plus get the steak again. Service was good. Got a reservation through Resy.

I have been waiting forever to be able to get a reservation
I have been waiting forever to be able to get a reservation here and it finally happened this last Saturday. I am so blown away and everything about L'Artusi is worth the hype. The ambience is so pretty and the private wine room is beautiful and can seat up to 14. To my favorite part, the food- everything we had was incredible. There was no dish that I tried that I didn't absolutely love. My friends and I shared the wagyu carpaccio, tuna tartar, burrata and brussel sprouts. The burrata toast was absolutely delicious and my favorite. The wagyu carpaccio was fantastic and so fresh and we loved the tuna tartar. For my entree I had the Pici with crab and it was my favorite part of the meal. It was perfectly cooked to Al Dente and normally I'm not a big crab eater but you cannot miss it when coming here. For dessert the olive oil cake is an absolute must!
😍
Such an amazing dining experience and well worth the
Such an amazing dining experience and well worth the difficult reservation. My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday night and every table was full on both floors and including the outdoor dining setup. It's a hot spot for high quality Italian dining, amazing cocktails and an extensive wine selection. We started off with bread and wagyu carpaccio which was by far the beet carpaccio I have had in my life; the flavors and textures combine to melt in your mouth with every bite. For pastas, we got the garganelli and tagliatelle which were both delicious, the garganelli had so much rich umami flavor...I know I'll be dreaming about this one for awhile. We also got the venison osso buco which was fall of the bone tender and incredibly flavorful. To finish our dinner, we shared the olive oil cake. I've recently become obsessed with olive oil cake and this one was definitely up to par to my standards. It was a generous slice of cake paired with a fresh cream and candied raisins. A scoop of everything combined creates a synergistic effect that will keep you wanting more. Overall a fantastic spot for Italian and I cannot wait to return for more!

I had high expectations for L'Artusi and maybe that's why I
I had high expectations for L'Artusi and maybe that's why I was so disappointed. We were graciously greeted by the host to led us upstairs to our table. The stairway is lined with real candles by the way so to anyone who's holding their jacket, be careful not to hit any of them! If that was any indication of what our night would be like, the upstairs dining area room temperature was much too hot and I sweat bullets throughout the entirety of dinner. Our waitress was nice and attentive, but hard to flag her down at the end for the bill. Also, I was expecting the focaccia to come out as an appetizer but it didn't come until the end - which was a bit of a letdown because we were already full. The last thing you feel like eating when you're full is dense bread. The focaccia ($8) was so dense that I couldn't even finish it. I just had focaccia from an Italian bakery in Miami the week before and it was lightyears better, half the price and came with more bread. The highlight of our meal was the scallop crudo ($22) I basically drank the lemon agrumato it was plated in and we had been recommended to dip our focaccia in it but the focaccia didn't come out until we had finished our entrees, despite us asking the waiters. The pici nero ($35) had more crab than pasta, though the nori breadcrumbs were a great addition. The garganelli mushroom ragu ($23) portion was large and too simple, with just mushroom ragu and ricotta salata. We had Barbuto's mushroom ragu before and it paled in comparison. Ai Fiori's Trofie Nero ($32) or $15 during HH is a perfectly balanced version of what L'Artusi was trying to achieve. I think the problem with our meal here is that everything we ordered, we've had elsewhere in NYC and it was done better. It's possible that L'Artusi is just not a great fit for my tastes, but I still know many people who applaud this restaurant. I would be open to returning for another chance if their menu changes and starts offering more unique or elevated dishes that can compare to its peers.

Came here on a Saturday for a late lunch w a friend and surprisingly didn't have to wait to get seated at the bar area. (I've tried doing table reservations and they're backed up for weeks for prime time slots)I got the Bucatini, which came out perfectly al dente and super fresh. The sauce combined with the pancetta gave the dish a unique and wonderful flavor. If I had one gripe, it was that the dish itself was quite small; I wasn't particularly full after finishing it. I would highly recommend trying this place out as the pasta is top notch; though I would definitely try to book a spot in advance. (We were quite lucky in being able to walk right in) I hope I can come back soon to try the other pasta dishes!

Came for brunch with my friends and fell in love with the mushroom ragu. However, the star of the show was definitely the lemon ricotta pancakes. They were to die for! Will definitely come back.
🤮
My boyfriend and I both got food poisoning from here.
Do NOT get the raw wagyu. Worst night of my life and paid $100 for it
Service was also superb. Ask for Nicole. She is the best server I've had in NYC and I'm a born and raised New Yorker. The service speaks to the quality of the establishment.
🙂

We made reservations pretty late here after a night at the comedy cellar, but since their kitchen was close to closing time, we had limited options with what we could order. The spaghetti with breadcrumbs was absolutely delicious, and my bf was leaning more towards the bucatini with meat sauce which had a thicker noodle, and had a heartier flavor. We missed out on the olive oil cake and the cheesecake, so next time we're here, we'll make sure to reserve earlier!
😍
Fantastic pasta and olive oil cake.
I love visiting the West Village and this is definitely my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. Service is very friendly and they take walk ins at the bar.
😒
It was very hard to get a reservation here, but overall I
It was very hard to get a reservation here, but overall I find it not worth the trouble nor the price. Food was good, but not mind blowing. I've had better food at other Italian places at a much lower price. Service was also lacking. They took a long time to clear out our plates and the staffs were not the most attentive. However, the ambience was very nice and the food, while not mind blowing, was still good. We ordered the hanger steak and the mushroom ragu pasta.
And thats ignoring price. If certain items we ate had cost $1 we still would never order them again. We had a 10:15 reservation tonight and were sat at a table less than a foot away from other patrons on either side. Amazingly, you could hear every conversation but your own. We realize the time was late but didn't expect to be rushed as much as we were. By the end of the meal the server was standing directly over us which was uncomfortable to say the least. (1)Ricotta: (3/10) Not our cup of tea. Slimy, wet. Some bites of the crackers were so salty that it was painful to swallow. Wouldn't order again(2)Spaghetti: (9/10) This was legitimately good. Had a crunchy layer on the top that really paired nicely with the soft pasta. Perfect spiciness and flavor. Slightly oily. Would order again(3)Gnocchi: (6/10) Pillowy and soft dumplings. Almost like mashed potatoes in a good way. Sauce was good but forgettable. Too many vegetables. Wouldn't order again(4)Garganelli: (2/10) This was gross. We took 2 bites and that just set it to the side to hopefully disappear from view. It was dense and funky but not in a pleasant way. (5)Olive Oil Cake: (8/10) This was good. Refer to other reviews for more info.(6)Salted Carmel Cake: (5/10) Clearly had just come out of the fridge. Was SUPER cold and I had to dig into it with my spoon to even get a bite. Popcorn was unnecessary. Some bites of the caramel were SO salty. Bourbon ice cream felt confusing with the flavor profile of the caramel and chocolate. Overall, payed way too much money for unimpressive food and bothered/invasive service. Will not be back.
😍
The service here is first class.
And whoever is in charge of keeping water glasses full at this place needs a commendation and a raise; my glass was never empty (the true mark of superb service in my opinion).My spouse and I came here to close ot or first day in NYC, and were not disappointed. I mentioned the service was great before, but it's worth mentioning again, it's top notch! We started with the burrata appetizer, which was smooth and brimming with flavor, with just a hint of sweetness that set it off perfectly. Then, we got an update that our food was just about to be finished and would be out momentarily. I've heard this many times from wait staff before, and it usually means that your meal is taking a long time and they are passively acknowledging this, but not so here. It was genuine, thoughtful, and quite accurate. Our food arrived very soon after. L'burger was surprisingly large, with a ton of greens and tasty melted cheese. It was quite filling, with just the right amount of greasy goodness. Enough to need a napkin, but restrained enough to not dissolve during consumption. The potatoes that accompanied were divine as well, a perfect pairing.

It's no surprise that in order to book a good dinner time
It's no surprise that in order to book a good dinner time reservation here you have to do so a month in advance. This place is fantastic! It's outer appearance is a quaint Italian restaurant in the village. Inside, is a modern 2 level establishment curating some of the best Italian eats! I was lucky to snag a table for 2, at 515 (these reservations go quick) about 2 weeks in advance. I love that menu here is not overwhelming, so it is easy to focus in on what you want to order. My husband and I split the burrata to start. There was a healing portion of burrata on a perfect toasted sourdough bread. I loved the fruit component here, not something I usually go for, but it delivered an excellent mixture of sweet and tartness to this dish. I had the tagliatelle for my dinner. A perfect portion size! The pasta was cooked perfectly! A good serving of Bolognese accompanied this dish. Service was top notch. Attentive to say the least. Very friendly and nice to interact with. Will definitely recommend L artusi, hands down!
😍

One of the best Italian restaurants in New York and one of the best date spots as well. It's been around for a while for good reason and the pastas still hit the spot. Can't really go wrong here. Burger added during Covid is nice with it.
😍
I now understand why people rave about this place.
It's almost impossible to get a dinner reservation here, I went for lunch on a weekday with a friend. We ordered the burrata toast to share and each got a pasta dish. The white bolognese was amazing, and her spaghetti with garlic, Parmesan, and oil was simple but so flavorful at the same time. Will definitely come back when a reservation is possible!
😒
came in last minute without a reservation, sat at the back
came in last minute without a reservation, sat at the back bar smashed up next to other patrons. I'm a native NYer, so I'm used to cramped quarters but these bar seats are practically on top of each other, which is uncomfortable even just for drinking, and most people are having meals. service is quick and unremarkable, not particularly hospitable or helpful. food is ok. tasty, but pastas were all overly salted or toooo al dente. was expecting more from such an institution.
😍
This place is worth the rave.
No wonder why it is 4.5 stars with 2k reviews and it is booked almost 1 month in advance for dinner. My and my grandparents ordered the Bucatini, Hanger Steak, the Red Snapper Brodetto, and the Salted Chocolate Cake. 1. The Bucatini had noodles that were a thicker version of spaghetti but cooked to the perfectly softness. It wasn't too soft and it wasn't too hard. I loved the tomato sauce they had on it, it was a little sweet but there wasn't a strong overpower of tomato like some tomato sauces have. I also liked how they added some sliced garlic in it, next time I definitely need to ask for more. The pancetta mixed in was delicious and they gave you a pretty generous portion of meat for such a small dish. The portion was a little on the smaller side but each bite was like heaven. 10/10 dish2. The Hanger Steak was THE BEST DISH OF THE MEAL OMG: I absolutely loved the Hanger Steak. I ordered it in medium rare, and it was some of the softest steak I've ever had and it was cooked to a perfect medium rare consistency. It tore apart easily and it was like a cloud in your mouth. I also loved the potatoes and the fried greens they put on top of them. Perfectly seasoned and fried. 10/10 dish3. My grandma said that the Red Snapper Brodetto was really soft and yummy but she said that the sauce was a little too salty for her liking. I did not try this because I don't like fish.4. The Salted Chocolate Cake was amazing. It wasn't too sweet but the cake was so soft and full of chocolate flavor. The bourbon ice cream was a little flavorless though, it tasted kind of like watery cream. I really did like the caramel popcorn and the caramel sauce on the side because I paired it with a bite of cake. I would definitely come back here next time I come to NYC.

As delicious food as you can find in Italy
I am quite a foodie. The al dente pasta were delicious. As excellent quality and taste as you can find in top restaurant in Italy. The dessert, olive oild cake, was delicious too. I tend to love chocolate desserts but this one showed me that some desserts without any chocalate can be as good. I would say L'Artusi is one of my top 10 favourite restautant in the world. So good that I am going back this week before to travel back to London
I can understand why some people might be disappointed if they have very high expectations. I came in with the mindset of trying to enjoy a simple meal. The quality of the food was there. The tagliatelle was my favorite. The flavor was rich but not over the top. It had the right balance for me. I don't usually leave the restaurant and go home thinking about pasta, but I am certainly missing the tagliatelle now.We also ordered gnocchi and hanger steak. Both were solid. If you like a more vegetable based sauce, the gnocchi is a good option. The hanger steak was decent, but it was the spread that surprised me. Whatever spread they put on the side of the steak, it was amazing. The desserts were wonderful. I heard a lot of good things about the olive oil cake, and it was delicious. The chocolate cake was simply outstanding. Again, it had the perfect balance of flavors -- extremely tasty but not too heavy. If you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience, this isn't it. Based on the reviews, some came in expecting to have their minds blown. I wasn't looking for that. I was looking for a nice neighborhood restaurant with high quality Italian cooking and a simple vibe, and I found it here. I'd love to come back and dine here regularly.

We tried l'artusi because we were able to get a Saturday
We tried l'artusi because we were able to get a Saturday reservation at 5:15 (inside - necessary right now). We arrived there was a line which was odd and very chaotic bc we didn't know if these people had reservations or were trying to walk in. Overall we had a good meal. We liked most things and others not so much. The service was great, the atmosphere was very nyc. Pros: The gimlet - it has aperol which like duh this makes so much sense and is delicious. The house made ricotta with strawberries - this legit felt like a decadent dessert and was so unique. Highly recommend. Carpaccio - very good and lightTagliatelle- YUM must get true stand out of mealBeans and greens - citriusy and spicy and absolutely memorable. Also must get. Chocolate chip cookies - we opted for these instead of olive oil cake and they are warm and heavenlyCons:Chicories - I'm an avid Caesar fan and folks this is not it. It was actually really fishy and bitter and I did not enjoy this salad at all. Which is unusual for me. Neutral:Bucatini - while not bad, I will say this was wayyyy spicier than we both anticipated and just felt meh next to the tagliatelle. Would return - great place for a date or to bring out of town guests. Vibes are unmatched. Service is lovely. Just not my favorite special occasion Italian spot in nyc.

When I bit into that pasta I thought "this is just what the doctor ordered" - it was perfect. Unfortunately, things went down hill from there. The broccoli rabe was oily, discolored, and limp. The "homemade cookies" tasted bland and old. I also tried their house granola. This is not an exaggeration - it was equal parts granola and brown sugar. It was so much sugar (and I am not sugar phobic) that I started laughing. I don't think I have put a heaping spoonfull of pure brown sugar in my mouth since I was a kid. Suffice to say I had to throw the rest away. I started with a three star review, but that pasta was just so damn good. I just won't order anything else next time.

came here for an early vday lunch and had a reservation.
my bf booked it and said there was no indication of the seating but when we got there, they said we were sitting outside. since it was fairly nice out, we didn't mind it. the food was great, as expected! some favorites were the uovo in purgatorio and tagliatelle. the fluke tartare was interesting. we wanted the tuna tartare but they said they had replaced it w/ fluke and it was very similar so we tried it. it had very different flavors such as blood orange and olives which caught us off guard at first, but after a few bites we really enjoyed it! the ricotta was nice and creamy, but I wasn't a huge fan of the lemon on top- tasted a bit artificial so I avoided those parts and it was great with the compote (I believe it was pine berries) the olive oil cake was recommended as a popular option and we can see why! it was so moist and combined with the raisins and mousse, it was spectacular. the vanilla mascarpone cheesecake was also yummy, but I wish it was colder (which might just be specific to me)our server was friendly, but we did ask for a refill on something and she never brought it so we ended up getting the check after a while. she did seem busy though, so we weren't upset. overall, a very nice place and since their brunch menu doesn't include certain dishes from the dinner menu, we definitely plan on going back to try those!
😍
This doesn't look like much but it was delicious.
Beautifully seasoned snapper with a wine, butter lemon sauce and a few clams on the side. The crostini was a perfect vehicle to sop it all up with. Honestly seemed like a strange dish with small potatoes, clams, and snapper but they all worked together. The restaurant has a fun, upbeat atmosphere that I really enjoyed.
🤮
We had a weird experience with the Scottish bartender.
My friend and I sat at the bar, we are both POC. Next to us was a group of Caucasian girls, and another group of Caucasian girls next to them. The bartender was giving away cheese platters and wine to both group of girls, and we didn't received any. tbh I didn't want any cheese or complementary food, however it was pretty upsetting to see both group of girls were getting much better service and complementary items. The disparity is service was very disappointing. I would never go back or recommend this establishment to any POC people. I felt like the bartender was comfortable taking our money but he was not interested on creating an experience. He never asked how our food was, he absolutely did the bare minimum.

Went twice in one week!! The tagliatelle, bucatini, and cacio e pepe are the best. I also 100000% recommend the olive oil cake. I almost don't want to share about the cake because I'm worried that it'll be impossible to get again haha - highly recommend.

Have heard so many people rave about their perfectly executed pasta that I had to try it. Overall, the food was mixed, but good. Ricotta and crackers - delicious crispy homemade crackers with a rather uninventive lemony ricotta dip.Garganelli with mushroom ragu - well... it is Al dente like promised. But also dry. The mushroom ragu was sort of clumpy and did cling to the pasta but because it was dry.The olive oil cake was the real winner of the meal. Moist, just the right texture, flavor of olive oil was prominent but cut by the cream and syrupy raisins. I don't even like raisins but this was a great combo.Would order dessert to go but skip the rest of the food on a future visit

It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
