It's a very busy restaurant usually the wait is ~30-45 min. The food here was amazing I loves everything we ordered. I personally really enjoyed the corn dish and the mushroom dish (pasta was great too but I like the other two more). The only complain I had was that the restaurant was a little too loud and seats were too crowded, not a very pleasant dining environment. Overall, it's a great restaurant but I'd avoid busy hours to enjoy my meal more.

I can say their burger is top 12 in NYC and the hanger steak was incredible as well. The burger was so juicy and the side, potatoes, and the sauce were great! Especially the hanger steak… melts in my mouth.. I’d love to go there again. Thank you!!

Yum!! Started with the focaccia which was a unique combo of blackberries and black pepper - very good but wish they served it warmer. Watermelon and beet salad was lovely. But the pastas were fantastic — highly recommend the spaghetti which had a delicious crunchy top. Service was great except I didn’t like that they didn’t even offer us dessert but instead just quickly brought over the check when we finished with the main courses. As per other reviews it seems they are quick to usher people out the door which isn’t right. Knocking 1 star just for that otherwise would give 5 for the food.

Two thumbs way up! Epitome of class and elegance without the stuffiness of an upscale restaurant. The pastas were incredible, the service was impeccable and the dessert was solid too. The ambiance is perfect for date night, catching up with friends or just an outing for good food. Would highly recommend this to anyone in NYC.

We FINALLY got a reservation here and the wait was worth it. All our friends have told us to get the Wagyu Carpaccio but they were out unfortunately. Ended up going with the Burrata to start which was fresh and delicious. Had to get a couple pasta dishes and went with the Capellacci and the Garganelli. The latter was my favorite but both very good. The Scallops take the cake here. The carrot purée was out of this world. The Brussels sprouts with lemon and pecorino were amazing too. So so so good and will be back. Contorni - Brussels Sprouts w/ lemon, pecorino Pesce - Scallops

Came here for Brunch and it was good! The location is plenty big for parties although service was slow, waited about an hour and a half for entrees to come out. We were given a complimentary salad to alleviate some of the wait time. Drinks were tasty but limited number of speciality cocktails. Service was very nice and attentive, overall a good restaurant but was expecting a bit more after the countless referrals I’ve gotten!

My boyfriend and I got takeout at L’Artusi to celebrate a special night and the food did not disappoint! To start things off we got the ricotta which was rich yet refreshing with the strawberry vinaigrette. We couldn’t pick two pastas so we got three! In order of favorites 1) Mushroom Garganelli 2) Pappardelle Ragu 3) Squid Ink. The mushroom was so fragrant and creamy, I could eat it everyday! We look forward to dining in next time. :)

Best olive oil cake I’ve ever had - it’s a MUST order. Same with the roasted mushroom - served with fried egg, pancetta, chilies, and ricotta salata. Both pasta were delicious - cooked Al dente, creamy, fresh, lots of flavor. We got lucky with a last minute cancellation and got a table for 2 for a reasonably timed dinner. Came out to be about $80 per person after tax and tip for food and a glass of wine.

Longtime neighborhood gem that has gone viral with Instagram-types, L’Artusi continues to serve modern Italian fare that is phenomenally delicious. The pastas are homemade and impeccably delicious. The apps and small plates were creative and made with fresh ingredients. Loved the Tuscan kale salad and the crostone. The chicken was my favorite main. Service was a little slow, but it was very crowded on a Saturday night. The ambiance is next level. Definitely worth going if you can get yourself a reservation! And it’s EXCELLENT to bring a date you really like!

Wow. Just wow. This place is amazing. Easily one of the top 5 pasta places in the city for me. AMBIANCE + SERVICE Located in a two floor cute building with beautiful decor and intimate spacing, this place is a stunner. I love that they incorporated skylights to add an airiness to the restaurant. The staff is impeccable. I loved our waitress and she was incredibly helpful in navigating the menu and picking a few dishes we would like. She was super kind and helpful throughout our dinner. Moreover, at this price point, I was surprised by the attentiveness we received. Our water was continually filled, our table was cleaned between courses. Everything was wonderful and perfect. FOOD The food matched the service. I don't understand how some reviewers are saying that this isn't anything special -- because it certainly is. The food was 10/10. We got the carpaccio which was a perfect, light way to start the meal. Then we got the mushroom pasta with shavings of riccota on top which was wonderful. We also got the Nero squid ink pasta which was a real winner as well. To finish it off, we got the signature olive oil cake which was delicious. Will be back here to try the other dishes including the sorbet dessert and the other pastas. One thing I have to say is, definitely get the pastas when you dine here! Can't go wrong

Honestly the best Italian spot I have visited in the U.S as of Feb 2024. Everything was great, the atmosphere, service, pricing. One nitpick I have is that even though I had a reservation, we were put on hold for 15 minutes. The restaurant did provide complementary drinks because of this issue.

The best pasta I've ever had in my life. The servers were so nice and the food was the best. I'm coming back here! Olive oil cake and beet watermelon salad also were pretty good. I can't wait to try more food here. :)

I am so happy with the experience I had at L’Artusi. I had a reservation for the outside patio but they were able to seat me at the bar instead. The bartender was so friendly and even though he was busy he made sure we were taken care of. The staff was all friendly and knew the menu well. The food was delicious, everything was fresh and seasoned to perfection. The seafood pasta I had was probably the best pasta outside of Italy. I also had the scallops and they were delicious. I highly recommend this place and hope to go back soon.

Ricotta was pretty delicious! Also enjoyed the olive cake. The hanger steak was pretty good and had really amazing crispy potatoes. The focaccia was not risen properly 😭

L'Artusi! We finally got here! The reservation process for this place is utterly insane. They open at 9 am something like two weeks in advance. My girlfriend and I both had Resy open and refreshed at exactly 9 am. We both failed on our first attempt and then I was successful with a 5:15 outdoor reservation on a Thursday. ALL reservations were gone in under 40 seconds. This was our most recent and most serious of 3-4 attempts to get a reservation here. Needless to say, my expectations were sky high. I can't give less than 5 stars because the food was genuinely very good. But almost nothing could match that expectation. I will note the indoor dining experience probably would have been much nicer. It's a sleek indoor space. The service was fine, not bad not good. The drinks we got (don't remember which) were refreshing but unspectacular. The Wagyu Tartare, Garganelli (mushroom ragu) and Cavatelli (pancetta, tomato, chili) were EXCELLENT. While delicious , the Cavatelli was spicy for me, but very spice sensitive - a non-issue for most people I think. So all in all, go here. It's great. But maybe wait for the hype to die down a bit, if it ever does.

Great food, had one of the salads as a lighter option, the corn and the chocolate cake and olive oil cake for dessert. The salad was fantastic and so was the chocolate cake (a rich and dense sin that you can only eat once a week), the olive oil cake is moist and scrumptious, goes extremely well with the raisins and mousse. Wasn’t a big fan of the corn though, it was spicy and had some sour taste to it. Pricing is not cheap yet moderate and the outside area is quite nice to sit in.

We came here for our anniversary and it is gorgeous! Super friendly and informative staff (they even gifted us with complimentary champagne and a delicious creamy cheese, peach and buttery cracker dish that blew our minds!) The food was great, the flavour combinations were things I’ve never experienced and was a really nice memory for our anniversary. Would highly recommend and we will return for sure.

L’artusi is my spot forever and ever. I was there for lunch and Cynthia our server is just the sweetest person ever. She noticed our first round of drinks were smaller than usual and then comped us another round. Exceptional customer service, very tasty meals and beautiful ambience. The bucatini is my fave but you can’t go wrong with any of their meals. The best Italian spot in nyc!

The food was good. Mushrooms was the best dish we had. Steak was cooked well( medium/rare). Everything else was okay but very standard. Not bad but not excellent, either. We sat outside( patio dining), which would have been fine if it wasn't 40 degrees outside, and the waiter kept leaving the patio door open. Overall. It was fine but left us wanting more.

Tldr: Get the roasted mushroom, the spaghetti, roasted potatoes, scallops, and the salted caramel Cookie. Now for the details Appetizers: The roasted mushrooms - wonderful to keep things short. The mixture of crisp and soft texture, combined with the toasty flavor makes this dish truly amazing. When we were suggested to try this dish everyone at the table was hesitant, but we decided to give it a try. After the first order was cleared up, we quickly ordered a second batch with no hesitation. Beef tartare, Tuna, kale and endive salad - these apps were decent in their own right, but we're completely overshadowed by the roasted mushrooms. Their individual flavors and textures are nice, but I can't really recommend them over one of the most memorable dishes of the meal. That being said, of these 3 appetizers, I would recommend the beef tartar then most as it is better than most places in NYC. Three Beef Tartare- has a nice beefy flavor, with a hint of smokiness that pairs well with the sourdough. The overall flavor profile of this dish is complex and lovely. In addition to the flavors, the sourdough plays an important part as a textural contrast by adding a crisp bite at the edges which mellow out towards the center where it soaks up the flavor of the beef, capers, and chilies. The Tuna - decent, but the flavors are a bit muted and non-distinct. I could taste notes of the tuna, a hint of citrus, and some milkiness from the creme fraiche. But that was the problem, just a hint of the flavor. The texture soft texture of the tuna is contrasted by the farro, but in my opinion, the role of texture helps to elevate dishes when the flavors are there. In this case, the texture contrast prevents it from being boring. The Kale and Endive salad - I remember that it was okay, but the dish is forgettable. Crispy potatoes - are delectable. As the name states, these potatoes are crispy with a pillowy center. Salted and seasoned with herbs for a duo of earthy flavors. The salsa bianca adds a creamy and fresh taste which makes this an addictive add-on to the meal. Pasta: The spaghetti - similar to the roasted mushrooms, was another surprise hit. The spaghetti is creamy and seasoned to perfection. The spaghetti itself is also cooked perfectly to have an amazing mouth feel that engage your taste buds. Taglatelle - nicely cooked taglatelle, decent sauce, but falls short of the spaghetti in overall composition. Bucatini - also decent Mains: Scallops - cooked and seared to perfection. Nice and toasty outside with the flesh cooked just tender enough. Then combined with the the jus is a chef's kiss moment. Branzino - cooked well with crispy skin and tender meat. The flavors are good, but with all the highlights so far, it doesn't really compare. Desserts: The Cookie - I could do a long inept review, or I can just say this. I WILL be coming back every now and then just to get myself a cookie and nothing will stop me. Salted Chocolate Cake - decadent is an understatement for this thicccc cake, therefore it is more apt to say deccccadent. Wonderful flavor and texture balance between the cake, the popcorn, and the gelato. You get a mix of thicccc and chocolaty cake, crunchy and sweet popcorn, with creamy and bittersweet gelato. Olive Oil Cake - decent dessert, with a decent blend of flavor and texture combo. But I rather get the chocolate cake and cookie. The service was also very good, but that much is expected. If I were to come back and only tried the same dishes, it would go something like this. Roasted mushroom, crispy potatoes, spaghetti, scallops, chocolate cake, and then a cookie to go. Hopefully I will have an opportunity to try the rest of the menu, but for now I am liking what I see!

Found a new fav restaurant, L’artusi! Their black pasta was on point with crab, Calabrian chili, garlic, tomatoes, and nori bread crumbs nomnom… sooo good! I’m obsessed with really good black pasta and they absolutely nailed it! I’m drooling just thinking about it lol. They also have a unique spin on spaghetti without the red sauce which my husband really enjoyed. Most importantly, their staff was super awesome; great fun energy and amazing personalities all together. We came to eat for lunch on 11/9th as part of our anniversary celebration, and we sooo appreciate how friendly and welcoming the staff were. Yes, it’s true they have very good food, but the staff absolutely make this establishment stand out! We fly to NYC at least once a year, and this restaurant will definitely be added to our automatic go-to! Can’t wait to go back!

This place deserves the hype! Beautiful decor, dimly lit, lively atmosphere, it was great. Service was super friendly as well. They couldn't seat us on time for our reservations and they were super apologetic and even gave us free champagne. The best dish was the garganelli with mushroom ragu, it was super flavorful and had great depth of flavor. I also got the cacio e pepe and it was average. Didn't have that punch to it. Overall I would definitely come back!

Great service, and good dishes overall! Was slightly disappointed by the cacio e Pepe and the dessert, but the ambiance and kindness of staff makes up for it. I highly recommend l’Artusi for a date or lunch between friends. The heirloom tomato and burrata is to die for, so delicious!! The wagyu pretty tasteless...

Love this restaurant, the atmosphere is good, not to loud, cocktails on point not too sweet. The staff is attentive they always smile to you. I really like the food. Love the desserts. The only reason I’m giving 4 starts is the flavor of the Cacio E Pepe (I won’t ordered again) had to put a lot of Parmesan cheese on it to cover the fatty taste, was so greasy it taste like pure oil. But I’ll definitely will come again to this restaurant.

Stumbled by this restaurant at opening and nabbed a seat at the bar with an intimate view of the efficiently run kitchen. The menu was concise and just creative enough. Food came out quick, the staff were warm and welcoming. Overall an excellent meal.

Food, simple and fantastic. Service was some of the best I’ve experienced. Everything was accounted for and everyone met us with a smile. We sat at the counter facing the kitchen, and just watching the whole team work together, you can tell this is a well oiled machine. Fantastic night. Thank you L’Artusi team!

I wanted to write that I didn’t believe the hype, but unfortunately… it was delicious. The bucatini and spaghetti are my favorites. The olive oil cake is a must. I tried the cheesecake and it wasn’t bad, but way too many flavors going on one plate. It’s definitely not an every day meal. Nice for marking special occasions or as a treat. Besides, you’ll have to stalk their Resy to snag a reservation. Even though it’s yummy, I would not want to eat in their outdoor area - best to enjoy indoors.

We came here for brunch as a party of 4 and this place got packed very quickly. Make reservations! Service was great and our server was really friendly and accommodating. She gave us good recommendations for brunch and answered any questions we had. This place is known for their pastas especially the cacio pepe. However, I don’t think this is a brunch spot to go to unless you are very hungry. This looks to be a better dinner spot with a dinner heavy menu. The menu felt like it was more of on the dinner forward side than the traditional brunch side.

✨Small, cozy neighborhood restaurant tuck away in Little Italy. We ordered the spaghetti, bucatini, crispy potatoes, and tagliatelle. For desserts we got the Olive Oil Cake. ✨ They were all very tasty but my favorite was the spaghetti. Don’t get it if you don’t like Garlic 🧄 and cheese 🧀 !! ✨ What impressed me the most was the lay back and intimate feel. Service was exceptional. We were not asked too many questions, yet someone was there when we needed something. ✨ 5/5 recommend to come here if you are in the mood for a delicious, homemade-like Italian food.

Food was good but wouldn’t say it was all great. It’s worth trying in nyc though. I would have given it a 4 for the food and atmosphere (our waiter was also great), but when we arrived we had a strange and frustrating interaction. We arrived 11 minutes after our reservation and there was someone in front of us in line. She had no reservation and was talking about options with the hostess for indoor/outdoor and with a child. They talked for 6 minutes while we waited. When it was our time we were told “we hold tables for 15 minutes and you weren’t here so it’s been given away.” But we had been there well before 15 minutes. I completely respect having a policy on reservations but we were there within the time. It was also handled a bit rude. We almost left but the rest of the staff turned around our experience

Impressed with the service!! Food was very tasty too.

It had been a while since I ate at L’Artusi because reservation was hard to come by. My good friend was able to get an outdoor table there for lunch today. Service was excellent. We shared tuna crudo, crab meat Calabria chili pasta and Delicata squash. The quality of the ingredients were first grade but all the dishes lacked flavor. Couldn’t really taste the Calabria chili at all in the pasta dish. Hope this was an one off miss of the kitchen!

Food was too good! I got the burger and honestly best burger in NYC (in my opinion) and my GF for the pasta (can't remember which one) but she absolutely loved it. Desert was the salted caramel chocolate cake and that was too good. For starters we got the Wagyu which wasn't anything special (probably wouldn't order it again)

Wow. Incredible food and wine, super kind staff. The asparagus starter & swordfish entree were both amazing- such complex flavors! We also had the garganelli, and the mushroom ragu sauce was truffley and delicious. One of the best meals we’ve had!

Great spot for great pasta! The cavatelli pasta was really dense and al dente and somehow fully cooked through. Really loved the texture! Also loved the hanger steak. Cooked to the right temperature and the potatoes and spread that came with it was delicious 😋

Sophisticated Italian with a chic ambiance in a trendy neighborhood. Inconvenient that you have to pay for bread but the asparagus and mushroom appetizers were phenomenal. However, the squid ink and branzino were missing that “wow” factor introduced with the appetizer. The cinnamon cookies were excellent and quite possibly as good as or better then Levain. Overall, very tasty food but the portions are small.

DO. NOT. GO. HERE. Overpriced food for it to be served to you extremely undercooked (ie: pasta .. all of them served to us). I had came here excited due to the glowing reviews this place had received for my birthday, only to be extremely disappointed. Drinks were mediocre at best and the olive oil cake was also nothing to write home about. Service was also .. questionable. The only good thing about this place from my visit was the ambiance and atmosphere. Very tastefully decorated and I loved the lighting throughout the restaurant. That is about it. If you want quality food, I suggest you look elsewhere.

The best dish for me was the beef tartare. I found the pasta too salty - we ordered the carbonara (unfortunately no pic) and the bucatini (original). Surprised to find spring onions in carbornara 🥲 Guess I thought I was going to an authentic Italian place, not a fusion one. Also had the steak + potatoes - it was okay.
