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.

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.

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”.

Everything was great except it was SUPER LOUD on a Saturday at 5pm. So if you like that or are young, you'll like it. It's cute.

Great dinner on a very busy Saturday night in the North End! Service was prompt, the food was great, noise level on the higher side (but still able to have a conversation in normal tones).
