Stopped in again with another friend for a quick lunch and again it was excellent. The friend had the Classic which had meatballs. It was a bit messy but they found it delicious. I had my vegetarian Forager. The mushrooms were rather chewy this trip. But still overall good. They had a spiced chocolate cookie for the dessert. It wasn't as good as the pinwheels they made the last visit but still good. The staff was very cheerful and helpful and as always the dinning area was bright and cheerful. read more

Update: I was able to make a second visit on my trip to Buffalo and I was able to try a few more of their sandwiches and I am glad to say I will be revisiting every time I am in Buffalo. Always listen to the staff! So I found this place on Yelp and drove about 15 mins from where I was staying to have lunch here. I struck up conversation with the cashier and she said her favorite item was The Club, so that's what I ordered. It's a cute little sandwich shop, it's an order at the counter and they bring your food to your table kind of place. The food: The Classic- Ricotta and pork meatballs, roasted peppers, cherry tomato confit, fresh mozzarella, pesto. This was the universal favorite of me and my two friends. This was so insanely good. Loved the bread as usual, the meatballs were incredibility tasty and tender and the fresh mozzarella had a great taste and good mouthfeel. I didn't even notice the pesto in to be honest, if I were to add something to take it over the top, it would be to add fresh basil, that would make this a perfect sandwich but this was insanely delicious to start with. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=ij0TFdrEOvs15sH_ooYO6A The Club- house roasted turkey, crispy prosciutto, arugula, roasted tomato, caramelized onion aioli. This sandwich made so much sense. First, I love the bread, it's soft, chewy, light and I love the smokey undertones from the oven. Second, the ingredients all make sense, the turkey was an in house product and the turkey tasted like actual turkey which was great. I loved the arugula and the roasted tomato added a nice sweetness but the caramelized onion aioli was amazing. It added a nice creaminess with a subtle sweetness from the caramelized onions. I also really liked the crispy prosciutto, it had a saltier crispy bacon feel to it. This place is a winner and should be celebrated as such. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=cBxGQw9MCVdExyLHgW8XBA The Forager- Roasted mushrooms, herbed ricotta, spinach, crispy onions. This one made so much sense and there wasn't even meat in this one. I loved the roast on the mushrooms, the herbed ricotta was the sleeper item that tied everything together, there was also a nice freshness to the dish I really enjoyed, I think it was an underlying lemon flavor that really added a lot of flavor. The Italian- Ricotta, goat cheese, fig jam, arugula, balsamic. I thought this was going to be an easy favorite but it was just Ok. All the flavors made sense but the sandwich was way too sweet. Also, I didn't love the flavor of the prosciutto, I think the prosciutto could have been a bit better. read more

Stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! The food tasted incredibly fresh, and the service was quick and efficient. Seating is a bit limited, but the space was comfortable and had a nice atmosphere overall. The menu is on the smaller side, but there are plenty of healthy options at reasonable prices. I ordered the salad and it was absolutely amazing--fresh, flavorful, and filling. I've heard the sandwiches are to die for, so I'll definitely be back to give those a try next time! Overall, a great spot for a healthy and delicious meal. read more

Second time here in person to sit down and eat - very good - the pizza was very tasty and I asked for extra sauce in it and that made it perfect. Still not a 5 star venue for me - would need lower volume on music and more comfortable chairs as well as Italian flour used in the baked sweets as well. read more

Being in Buffalo and the surrounding areas, you come across a plethora of sandwich shops. But in all my years of living in Buffalo, I have never seen a sandwich shop like this. Artusi features sandwiches that are made using Neapolitan style pizza dough (folded) bake in open fire ovens. The concept is very unique and the variety of choices is definitely mouthwatering. Just when you thought Artusi is just about spectacular sandwiches, you find out they have a hidden kitchen restaurant. The restaurant features their dinner options that is only available when you make reservations. The dining room for dinner is very small so reservations may fill up quickly. Finally you will notice the prices are on the higher side of things, but the quality of the food, paired with the concept of the restaurant. I feel it's well worth it The Chick- a- D- This sandwich (piega) consisted of very well seasoned Chicken cutlets, mozzarella, roasted peppers, and basil pesto. Absolutely Deeee-licious. read more

The service was extremely friendly, positive, thoughtful, and quick. The interior was nice, straightforward, easy to navigate, and I liked the decor. Parking was easy to find. I liked "The Club" Piega, but thought for $17 it could have been more robust and flavorful. The dough used was really tasty and the concept is very unique. I wasn't a fan of the Chop Chop salad, while it was large and had good ingredients, the dressing itself lacked flavor and felt very oily and slightly bitter. We also had the carrot roasted pepper soup which came in a good size bowl, as well as the house unsweetened ice tea (can be made sweetened upon request), it was very refreshing. Overall for 2 people we spent close to $60 for two Piegas, ice teas, splitting the salad and soup. Even with decent portions, it felt pricey for lunch, and the flavors weren't as vibrant as they could be. read more

So good! Love the Italian street food concept. I got the Italian- prosciutto fig jam and arugula. My husband got the chick a d which was chicken, cutlet, roasted red peppers, mozzarella, pesto. We split the chop chop salad, which was also fresh and crispy. The place is very cute and very clean. The staff were friendly. Parking on both sides of the building. We finished it off with some cappuccinos to go and try some of their cookie baked goods. All in all everything was delicious and we can't wait to return and try other combinations. read more

Artusi is our go-to spot for something fast and healthy. Their seasonal salads are out of this world with local produce and the most recent Greek salad with the creamiest feta & olives were to die for. The folded over pizza Sammie's are tasty and the house roasted turkey with arugula, garlic aioli, peppers, and prosciutto is my favorite. I usually save the other half or share with my husband. He ordered the chicken cutlet option that was tasty as well. Artusi has a "hidden menu" on the weekends and that's reservations only. You can choose from various appetizers, entrees, and desserts. We want to try that next! If you're looking for high quality Italian using seasonal and local ingredients, Artusi is your answer! read more

The space is absolutely perfect - seating on one side for quick orders and a separate space for sit down quieter dinner away from the open kitchen. It is clean and comfortable, very cute. Now to the food -- delicious! We had the chop chop salad which was overall a "standard" salad, the chicka D sandwich, which is a cutlet sandwich very tasty not as heavy as I expected which was lovely, and the club which was definitely my favorite. Dressed and seasoned wonderfully, creamy sauce on it that left me wanting more. They even have Italian imported drinks and water in their cooler for quick orders. I can't wait to come back to try their espresso/cortado! Great new neighborhood staple. read more

Tried another sandwich shop ,which was supposed to be open until 6:30 and was closed at 6:20 when we arrived. So we decided to try this restaurant.. I got the Classic and my wife the Club. Neither one of us really enjoyed our sandwiches. My wife said the Arugula over powder the taste of the Turkey and Prosciutto. I didn't like the sauce on my meatballs and the cheese hadn't melted. The two stars of our meal were the pizza dough used and the cup of cookies, both were delicious. Service was great. You order at the counter and they deliver to your table. Very plain and cafeteria type of interior. Very clean and sterile. They have a fridge stocked with different beverages and they do have wines. The prices are very steep for what you get. Most sandwiches are priced from $16-$18. Our bill was over $50 for two sandwiches, a pop, a cup of cookies and tip. read more

Never thought I be able walk back in here after Ziggy's Tacos and subs closed, and now here we are. What a transformation the shop did. The ambiance is so cute. Kind of gives a mini upscale sandwhich shop. It's beautiful inside, and spacious. Love the open area behind counter to see the cooking. Now, what is a Piega? I'm sure they can explain it better, BUT for me it's a take in between a calzone and a sandwhich. They take Neapolitan pizza dough and basically make a sandwhich out of it. The pizza dough was sooooo good. You could eat that with just some oils and keep it moving. Which I do believe they offer. So they have 9 sandwhiches, we tried three of them (can't wait to try the other 6) The first, was basically a folded pizza. Loaded with perfectly charred pepperoni, and the roasted red peppers and basil pesto was just yum! The Nani Jo, loaded with very fresh veggies, roasted red peppers, fennel, red onions then add in some spiced cappacola, lemon aioli, basil and provolone. This sandwhich was so tasty and fresh. #7..I love anything with sausage! This one was crumbled fennel sausage, roasted fennel, roasted garlic, caramelized onions, black olives (which I removed don't like olives) then topped with loaded melted provolone. Again everything was fresh, the flavor top notch. They have cup of joy, which is a cup with joyful cookies! The cookies were sooo good. Nice sweet bite after the flavorful Piega! You can tell they love what they do. Very friendly. Was immediately greeted upon walking in. Smiles on everyone's face. Very welcoming. read more

Artusi - The forager and the classic - Italian Near Me - Eggertsville, New York

Friendly service in a cozy atmosphere. There are two dining areas: one where you walk in and one off to the right of the ordering counter. Their menu is fairly small and contains piega (foldie sandwiches), salads & drinks. There were only two items (salads) that could be gluten free. I ordered a #7 Piega (fennel sausage, roasted fennel, roasted garlic, caramelized onion, back olives & provolone) & my friend ordered the seasonal salad with romaine instead of kale (see pics for description); they were happy to oblige her request. I also wanted to order the dirty earl from the menu, which they said they no longer serve :( however, they offered to make me an earl grey tea with milk & espresso as that was as close they could get to it. Our food came out in a decent amount of time with everything being made fresh... Even the bread for the Piega, which is wood fired. We both enjoyed our meals. My piega had good flavors that complimented each other. I was really excited about the fennel because I have not seen it as an ingredient anywhere else that I recall and I do so enjoy it. I just wish the provolone had been more melted so there would have been a cheese pull. The bathrooms were cutely decorated and clean. read more

After multiple visits I finally felt comfortable sharing some of my experience. Artusi is at the end of my street. Proximity is dangerously close, and yes, I'm a frequent flyer. Here's the skinny... the piegas are amazing. They're fresh, different, and filling. It's a shareable amount or a solid meal if you go it alone. Hidden Kitchen, on Friday or Saturday, is absolutely epic! Chef sourced ingredients for a fluid menu... it's rotating and awesome. Good luck actually selecting one entree when they are all solid picks! Staff have always been kind, warm, and happy to answer questions, which is exactly what you would want from a new restaurant. Go there. Have a lovely meal for lunch or dinner. Grab a glass of wine or top it off with a fab coffee or latte afterward. You need to experience this place. Then I dare you not to return the following week! read more

Got a takeout order of cabbage salad "chop chop" and the forager piega- spinach ricotta mushroom. Never had a piega before- it was delicious. I did end up dipping it in a tamarind chutney sauce though bc it felt a little lacking in a strong flavor- the flavors were good but very subtle. The ingredients were fresh. The portions were perfect- not too big or little. My only other complaint was the salad definitely didn't have enough dressing. Also- they only serve piegas. You can't get anything else unless you take part in their dinner club, I guess? The biscotti to go was exceptional. But overall I'd go back. read more

Aside from the inexplicably nasty staff who don't listen to orders and mock veganism (twice now) and an owner who couldn't seem to care less, I guess the place is alright. The ambiance is a bit drab. More importantly, When you get a piega in Italy you add whatever toppings you like. Here, if you even suggest a substitute it's a no go from the start. God forbid they should use different veggies they already have. And they're just so mean about it. I gave them two stars because the salads are fresh and they've generally got the right Idea with their folded pizza. But folks please remember customer service. Nothing beats that, not even decent food. Btw, that's never been how I've been treated in Italy! Response to owner ---- Thanks David. Quite the contrary, I want to come back because the food has always been good. Maybe just a word with the staff that vegans don't have two heads. All I asked for yesterday was to hold the cheese and substitute red peppers. Instead I got double arugula. I left a message for you to call me so I could avoid this review, which I will happily update once we've chatted. Even the gal who took the message last night seemed very disinterested in passing it along. When I didn't hear I wrote the review. Please ask the staff if a Mike left a message for you. You might be surprised about that too. read more

Was excited to try Artusi, but was a little skeptical of the hidden kitchen dinner given the sandwich first concept. I was completely wrong and didn't try Artusi soon enough. It was phenomenal and one of the best dining experiences I've had in Buffalo, if not the best. The star of the show were the handmade pasta dishes, which are made in house and impressively perfectly consistent. We got the lamb ragu and the vodka sauce with langoustine (lobster). Both were excellent. For both there was no shortage of sauce coating the noodles, mixed in lobster, or delicious lamb in the ragu. We also started with the roasted carrots which were perfectly tender and charred and had a delicious pesto sauce underneath. We finished with the crème brûlée, which was delicious and had a perfect brûlée, but the cream underneath was a touch warm due to the brulle on top and the thinness of the dish. Overall, Artusi is true to its core of using fresh, high quality ingredients to make really flavorful and well curated dishes that leave you satisfied. Looking forward to returning! read more

We were running errands and wanted to stop for a late lunch. I remembered seeing Artusi and wanted to try it- so we stopped in. We had the First and the Classic and added greens to both. Let me say - Delicious. The bread was light and delicious. The stuffings were so tasty! We also had espresso and a latte, and a Cup of Joy. We're definitely going to be back and would recommend you try it. Staff was very helpful with allergies. Decor was so sweet for the holidays. read more

VERY worthy successor to Ziggy's! I was hoping something would replace it for a while and it seems my prayers were answered. The setting is very clean, the ambience relatively classy (compared to Ziggy's, with its arcade machines and general air of being an 'everyman's' restaurant), while it is a casual place, you don't need to dress like you're spending $100 on steaks. That said, the most important thing--the food--isn't cheap, it definitely caters to a higher income level than Ziggy's did. My piega, side of bread, and cookies cost over 30 dollars after tips. Still, I'd say its worth it, in the best Italian tradition the incredients are VERY fresh and the piega itself was EXCELLENT. Delicious, savory, and dripping with goodness. Since this place is so conveniently located and seems to be just what the neighborhood needed, I'm gonna drop in a lot more from now on, most likely--since I can afford it, which is good. read more

Artusi say it ain't so!! I found this place and was so happy to tell my foodie friends very nice ambience and food is good! My issue I have is due to service. I ordered the chicka d and the Italian substitute the prosciutto for turkey, we don't eat pork. I was up charged $4 for that. So my sandwich went from $18-$22. Yikes in these times of inflation and I was not informed it would be an up charge had I known I wouldn't have tipped. That's not good business! read more

I moved to WNY from Connecticut 3 yrs ago the food scenes are completely different (makes me miss CT food)(sorry but has to be said). Artusi is one of the places that def reminds my of CT flavors! the piegii's are fresh, they used fresh basil, and the chick a d is really good! The chicken cutlet is well seasoned, but could use a little more pesto & peppers in it but... i'll still partake! the ONLY drawback is... it's not a cheap sandwich! it doesn't come with anything, and when you get a soda, thats $23! I understand that fresh and flavorful doesn't come cheap... but slight ouch on that one! I did hear about their hidden dinner kitchen, so i definitely want to try that out at least once. read more

Count me among those who thought this was just a cute corner bistro for artisinal sandwiches and light lunch. WRONG! We were invited to join friends to experience an exquisite dinner recently. The menu is fluid and each selection is personally prepared by the chef-owner. It was outstanding! We were honored to enjoy the service of Deana, also the owner. The selections, although limited by the fact they're made to order, were balanced between pasta, a chicken parmigiana (5 stars) and a Kobe beef entree. Deana creates the desserts so please save room. There is a simple yet sophisticated choice of wines as well as non-alcoholic bevs. It's a total experience. Share, chat (it's small so you can carry on a conversation) and correctly price in proportion of what you receive. read more

The person taking your order had no clue about any of the wine on the menu. When asked with dry wine they served she said she had no clue what the wine tasted like and didn't ask anyone else. The website has a picture of a traditional folded pizza with sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni and when we got there, we were told they did not have that so one person in our party did not eat. read more

Artusi is an absolute gem. Piegas are one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. Every time I'm in the area, I'm sure to grab a salad and a piega, and I'm never disappointed. Also, the employees are incredibly gracious and kind, and the restaurant is very nicely designed. Really can't say enough about this place! read more

Wow, just Wow! New and unique concept to WNY! I stumbled across Artusi by doing a Google search for "best restaurants in western New York that are open for lunch on Mondays". An amazing find! Not a panini, not a culetto, not a calzone, nor a burrito wrap; the piega "sandwich" is an in-house, fresh baked, wonderfully MOIST, wood-fired style Neapolitan pizza dough wrapper for the sake of a better description. HIGH quality and extremely flavorful ingredients. A bit messy but delicious. Can't wait to try the Friday/Saturday reservations-only specialty dinner menu. Relatively small CLEAN interior. FRIENDLY helpful and efficient staff. I could go on and on but do visit their website and Facebook pages for more detailed information about the restaurant offerings (which includes soup and salads) and owner Chef Dave's background. Will definitely become a regular!!! Artusi is a must try experience for anyone looking for a new dining experience and, a MUST TRY for any foodie. Memorable for sure. Enjoy! read more

It's all about the dough! You can taste the wheat and the fire. Closest experience to a Neapolitan pizza I've had in Buffalo, even though these are not pizzas but rather a kind of wrap. I wish they had a simpler option with just tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella and basil--like a Margherita. Minor comment--the raised curb on the parking lot makes it hard to park there and one time it actually made us change our minds and go elsewhere... read more

This was our first visit and it did not disappoint. It's a cute place, with takeout and dine in. We were greeted when we walked in and the worker explained the ordering process to us. I ordered the Chicka-D and my friend ordered the Italian. We got a couple drinks and found a table. It's very intimate, a great place to catch up with a friend or a date! The food was delicious. I was so eager to eat it, I forgot to take pics. There's parking on the side, or in the side street. read more

We have been to Artusi twice now. Once for lunch and once for their hidden kitchen dinner series. The Neapolitan pizza dough sandwiches (Piega) are something unlike anything you can find in the Buffalo area and they are delicious. The hidden kitchen dinner was a surreal experience from start to finish. The use of fresh, local ingredients really shined and the homemade dessert was delicious. read more
