"A very great place for a cocktail and great Italian food. Cozy bar that makes a great drink. One of my favorite places in the North End. Try the Espresso Martini, Dirty Martini, or Lemon Drop."

"It's a fine restaurant. We had a handful of their dishes and nothing was really great. Nothing was bad either and we enjoyed eating overall but it's absolutely not a place you go out of your way for at all. Their bolognese is extremely mediocre, had to add seasoning, pasta was over cooked, their veal parm was actually tasty but the pasta accompanying the dish was again average. Excellent gin martini though, props for that, was just warm. Finally the restaurant is HOT. Make sure to ask for seating in the areas with ventilation."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the best dining experiences we had all week in Boston! Artu on Prince Street in the North End completely delivered from start to finish. We began with the most perfectly cooked calamari—crispy, tender, and easily the best we had in town. The sliced bread was delicious on its own, but even better as a mop for the amazing sauces that followed. The mussels appetizer, cooked in a garlic and white wine sauce, was packed with flavor. We couldn’t stop dipping the bread in that sauce. Artu’s house-made spaghetti is perfection—cooked al dente with the perfect bite. I had the melanzane (eggplant) parmigiana served with that incredible pasta… Mama Mia! Hands down the best I’ve ever had. We also tried the spaghetti and meatballs and the penne with red sauce—both were absolutely delicious. From the quality of the food to the cozy North End vibe, Artu is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!"

"Love the little bar area of Artu. We would have missed it if not for the friendly outdoor greeter. We had a shrimp scampi pizza and some mussels. Both were delicious. Our bartender was friendly and attentive."

"They tried to turn and burn our table so fast. They made us order everything at once and our burrata, 2 salads and entrees were all delivered within 8 min of ordering. My wife didn’t even try the appetizer before they were clearing it off the table. Food was great, what we got to try. $215 for a 38 min “experience”. Sad that we had one dinner night in town and they trashed it."
