Amazing food at drinks! My friends and I came here during lunch hours, and we were able to snag a reservation. It seems like lunch reservation may be easier to get than their dinner reservations... All the drinks we ordered were delicious. Notable dishes we ordered were the Ricotta, Arancini (with pesto inside it). They also gave us their house-bread, on the house, and it was delightful. Onto the main dishes - we had ordered the carbonara, garganelli, and bucatini nero. Honestly - they were all mind-blowingly amazing. I think my personal favorite was the sauce on the garganelli, and also the amount of fish/seafood you get in the bucatini nero. While it was on the more expensive side, L'Artusi is a good place to take a date or have a fancy meal with friends/family.

Incredible food and service. We went for brunch on a Saturday after managing to get a last minute res off of Resy. The pasta was definitely the main attraction, the bucatini Nero was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The shakshuka-like uova in purgatoria dish was solid as well, and absolutely something I would get again. The ricotta with crackers was good but not something I would go back for. Service was excellent but the outside seating space/ambiance wasn't quite as nice as we had hoped it would be. Will definitely be back to try as much of the pasta as possible

Had this place bookmarked for a while and finally had the chance to try it! Made a Resy reservation a day before for brunch with no issues. We ordered the Bucatini and the Bucatini Nero with a side order of crispy potatoes. My husband loved the Bucatini Nero and complimented on the flavors and pairing with the crab meat. My Bucatini was just okay; nothing to rave about. I did love their crispy potatoes because they were very crispy but soft on the inside. A heads up, the seating is very tight between groups so you could hear the other tables conversations haha. Overall, a decent place for Italian pasta but not sure if it's worth the hype.

When I came to L'Artusi around a year ago, I really liked it. When I came back yesterday, I loved it!!! My mom was in town for my graduation so I knew I had to take her somewhere special where there is good pasta because she loves Italian food. This did not disappoint! I had made a reservation with a few weeks in advance for 7:30pm on a Wednesday. We arrived on time but had to wait a little bit for our table to be ready. However, the service was incredibly quick and efficient so it made up for the mild delay. Our wait staff was so nice, patient, and on top of everything-- it was very impressive! At the same time, it did not feel like we were being pushed out of the restaurant and could enjoy our meal fully. This time we sat at the top level of the restaurant which I preferred because it was slightly more quiet than the main floor (although still pretty loud). For food I tried: - House Made Ricotta: this was not on the main menu but instead in the cheeses menu. What a delicious appetizer to share! It came with a nice dollop of this fresh ricotta that was so creamy and thick and decadent. It came drizzled with olive oil and a little bit of flaky sea salt which really elevated it. The dish also came with some crackers that were crispy, thin, and had a hearty nutty taste, along with some sweet but tangy orange marmalade. Delicious! Would get again. - Roasted Mushrooms: this one blew my mind. It's really hard to describe with words but now I understand why this dish is so hyped. The mushrooms were meaty, juicy, and had just the most divine umami flavor from the pancetta with a spicy kick from the red chilies. This was all balanced by the mild sweetness of ricotta salata and the silky richness of the egg yolk. No joke, one of the best bites I've had in NYC since moving here. - Tagliatelle Bolognese: very good! The bolognese sauce had generous amounts of meat, and had a surprising homemade taste/ feel without being too oily or heavy. The tagliatelle were slightly overcooked but this is a thinner pasta so definitely hard to get right. My mom loved it! I also really enjoyed it. - Gnocchi: my boyfriend got the gnocchi with rabbit ragu which were also very good. Similarly, his ragú tasted so fresh, homemade, and nourishing! The gnocchi were good but I definitely had better gnocchi in Italy in terms of texture, these ones felt a little flat but the flavor was good overall. - Pici Cacio e Pepe: I got the cacio e pepe again since I was obsessed from my first time having it last year. This did not disappoint-- they always manage to strike the perfect al dente consistency for the pasta, as well as a nice uniform distribution of the sauce where the whole dish is perfectly coated in it. This time it felt a little bit more pepper heavy than last time but it somehow still worked very well. Delicious quality. Truly my favorite pasta dish in NYC. - Brussel Sprouts side: crispy, salty, lemony, delicious! Would definitely get them again. - Branzino Filet: the branzino was very good although at this point we were a little bit "salted" out because all the other dishes we got were heavily salted so it did not help this was over a bed of olives. However, the bronzino alone was AMAZING! It had the crispiest, most delicate skin, while keeping a super flaky and tender interior. - Salted Chocolate Cake: perfect for the chocolate lover. This cake was rich, decadent, and not too sweet with a nice hint of salt and sweetness from the caramel. The bourbon gelato complemented the dense cake very well and the caramel popcorn added a fun twist! - Olive Oil Cake: okay now I also get why everyone talks about this dessert.....definitely my favorite of the night wow. The cake is mildly sweet without being overpowering, with a fluffy consistency that is not bready but maintains a good level of moisture (like pound cake but less dense), and it has this delicious olive oil flavor. The cake with the powdered sugar on top and the creme fraiche was just *chef's kiss*. We personally thought the raisin marmalade was too sweet and honestly not even necessary but it does make for a more aesthetic presentation. Overall, I had an amazing dinner experience here. I would definitely come back for the delicious dishes I tried (highly recommend the roasted mushrooms, house made ricotta, cacio e pepe, and olive oil cake!) The ambiance is still super lively and loud. Definitely a cool spot to come with a group of friends or impress a family member visiting from out of town. I am already looking forward to returning in the future!

Reservation: they open resy two weeks beforehand at 9am and was very difficult to get a spot. When we arrived at 5pm, there was a huge line waiting to be put on the waitlist (so would def recommend getting a resy beforehand) Food: few items really stood out 1. Wagyu carpaccio 5/5- fave of the night 2. Hanger steak 4.5/5- pleasantly surprised by how tender the steak is. I'm usually disappointed by the steaks at Italian restaurants, and this is definitely one of the best ones I've had (I'm not into carbs, but I was told by others that the potatoes were really good) 3. Roasted mushroom 4/5 flavorful 4. Tagliatelle 3.5/5- my least fave of the evening. Biggest regret was not ordering the bucatini nero and now I have to come back 5. Olive oil cake- MUST GET. SO FREAKING GOOD Ambiance- bustling, lively ambiance with an open kitchen and counters.

Came here again the other night and sat at the bar. The staff is so friendly and the food is so good! I got the gnocchi with rabbit ragu and it was delicious. Plenty of meat sauce and rabbit, and the gnocchi was so delicious. Perfectly soft and chewy! The bar is also so comfortable and such a nice vibe!

I've been to L'Artusi for dinner twice and have had overall good experiences! The food is excellent; everything I've tried has been exemplary. The ambiance inside is very nice, but I've also sat outside and it's still a comfortable experience. You can't go wrong with the cacio e pepe, both times I've tried it the pasta was cooked perfectly and it had just the right amount of pepper and cheese. However, it doesn't hold a candle to the Pici Nero. The chili, big pieces of crab meat, and tomatoes give the dish so much flavor. It's such a unique dish! The tuna crudo is great if you like spice! The chili packs a punch. We also tried the roasted mushrooms (perfect size to share as a side). This is a spot that you can't skip dessert at! The olive oil cake is the perfect texture and the raisin sauce and creme make it even better. We also loved the chocolate chip cinnamon cookies (served warm and are seriously the best chocolate chip cookie I've had in ages). Only reason this isn't 5-stars is that when I dined here earlier this week our waiter was super unfriendly. Still, I'd dine here again in the future.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday at 1pm and it was incredible! There is a decent amount of outdoor seating but we sat inside and it was beautiful and airy. We started with the L'artusi vodka gimlet and it was a bit on the stronger side but still very refreshing. To start, we ordered the focaccia which I wish was a little warmer and would not necessarily recommend but was still good. The lemon ricotta pancakes were phenomenal and fluffy - an absolute must get! The wagyu tartare was also delicious and would recommend. We also got the roasted mushrooms which was great and went super well with the egg on top. For our main items, we got the carbonara which had plenty of bacon bits and was delicious and the spaghetti which I preferred between the two and was the perfect amount of spicy and al dente. We also got the burger which was so juicy and came with potatoes which were nice and crispy. For dessert, we got the olive oil cake which on its own was a bit dry but mixed in with everything was incredible. We also got the chocolate chip cinnamon cookies and those were warm and comforting. Service was great and would come back!
