There are two floors, the dining room and the private room upstairs. Service was busy and not as accommodating because we took our time ordering. Food was great, we ordered the caramelized onion torta and the gnocchi frito, which hit the spot. These two appetizers are a must order. For the main course we shared the Wood Fired whole Trout. To end the dining experience we had their top notch lemon torta. We also paired our meals with the aperol Spritz and the peace of mind cocktails. I'd definitely would return for their happy hour or dinner.

There are numerous locations now in the city but this was my first time going and I was definitely eyeing it for awhile. They do weekday lunch specials of $14 pastas, boozey weekend brunches for around $24/25(not including food), and $12 Sunday dinner specials on entrees as well as happy hours on weekdays from 4-7pm that include: $7 snacks, $8 wine, $5 beer, $9 spritzes, and $9 wells. I happened to come in for Labor Day Brunch on Saturday. We both said we were going to do unlimited but honestly could only finish about a pitcher of mimosa and they only charged us for the one pitcher was the nice part. I went with Carbonara Pasta and my boyfriend had the egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich with fries. I'm not gonna lie, I've never gone to aycd brunch and have not finished my food but I could not finish my entree it was so massive and filling. I haven't had a pasta this rich in ages and it was so so good and I am all for not having those skimpy little portions. He couldn't finish his sandwich either. I tried one of the fries and it was nicely battered thick cut wedge fries. Maybe I haven't been eating out alot lately but I was legit impressed. The staff was wonderful and thoughtful. The cafe in itself is very cute and Italian with black and white marble in the bathrooms, white marble bar top, hanging plants, interesting light fixtures. I'm definitely going to make a point to come back soon.

The restaurant was definitely exuding a rich Italian vibe with Aperol Spritz cocktails, $7.00 pizzas, citrus fruits and striped banquettes. I saw lots of patrons enjoying a Friday evening out after a long work week. Definitely a nice neighborhood cafe to wind down in. We ended up sitting at the bar since we were only there for happy hour. I had an Aperol Spritz and shared the happy hour $7.00 pizza with my friend. Both were very good. Spritz was a gorgeous summer color and flavor. Our bartender was busy but definitely acknowledged and attended to us respectfully. We were only there for a short amount of time and I did not get to the bathroom. The restaurant had a mature crowd and was presented in a clean and professional manner. I would enjoy spending more time here and having a proper meal. Looking forward to my next visit.

L'Artusi knows what it's doing…read more Made a stop at this West Village Italian spot and ordered the tagliatelle, a Bombshell, and a gin gimlet. The tagliatelle was the star of the show, and having two cocktails to work through certainly didn't hurt the experience. The Bombshell was a fun choice, while the gin gimlet was a solid option for something a little more classic. L'Artusi has the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger over dinner instead of rushing through it. Definitely a good option if you're in the mood for Italian food and a proper cocktail in NYC. Would happily come back to try more of the menu. My only problem with New York is that there are too many places to eat and not enough meals in a day.

Overhyped, underwhelming, and not worth the trip I had been…read morelooking forward to trying L'Artusi after hearing how difficult reservations were to secure. I booked a table for 6:30 p.m., noted that we were celebrating my mom's birthday, and specifically requested a nice table. Unfortunately, the experience fell well short of expectations, from the seating to the food. Although the restaurant was busy when we arrived, the check-in experience felt impersonal. No smile, no particularly warm greeting--just a perfunctory welcome before we were escorted upstairs and seated right next to a busy bussing station, with a garbage bin practically behind me. To make matters worse, fruit flies circled my mom's head throughout the meal, and no one seemed particularly concerned. We were seated promptly at 6:30 p.m., but within five to ten minutes, several more appealing tables for two, including booth seating, became available. Given that I had flagged my mom's birthday as a special occasion and requested a nice table, it was disappointing that no one seemed to have taken that request into consideration. We could easily have been asked to wait a few minutes for a better table rather than being seated beside the bussing station and garbage. Those tables remained empty for 20 min and a mother and daughter that were blonde were seated w a smile and then the other table was seated by a European looking couple. Good job. I could have overlooked the seating situation if the food had been exceptional. It wasn't. The Into the Woods cocktail was excellent and ended up being the only thing I genuinely enjoyed. The branzino had a distinctly fishy taste, which was particularly disappointing because I specifically gravitate toward branzino for its milder flavor. The bucatini was also underwhelming and seemed to be missing the chili. Honestly, even the tomato pasta at Eataly has better flavor, which floored me given the reputation L'Artusi has built. And it wasn't just our table. The diners seated next to me were sharing their dishes among themselves and commenting on how underwhelming the food was. They ultimately skipped dessert as well, remarking that nothing about the dessert offerings seemed particularly appealing after their experience with the main courses. Hearing other diners express the same disappointment only reinforced my impression of the meal. I had been looking forward to trying the desserts, too, but by that point, we had lost our enthusiasm and decided to skip them. When the overall experience is this lackluster, even dessert doesn't feel worth staying for. I had been so excited to finally get a reservation, especially after repeatedly hearing how difficult they are to come by. Now I find myself wondering what all the fuss is about. Neither the food nor the service justified the hype, and the experience certainly wasn't worth the time and car service from Midtown. I even left a 20% tip. Perhaps out of generosity of spirit--or perhaps it was the cocktail talking--but in hindsight, that felt more like charity than a reflection of the experience.

The carbonara had a great smokiness from the meat, and the risotto was cooked well as was most of the seafood in it. Both the carbonara and risotto had some inedible parts to it that were disappointing. The pancetta had small pieces of hard cartilage and the risotto had part of a shrimp shell.
