I ordered carpaccio and I got processed (not raw) slices of beef that were from a deli. I'm Italian and I know exactly how carpaccio should be prepared. Also, it wasn't wagyu slices of beef

The waiter made great recommendations and we enjoyed the food and drinks very much. Low noise levels when we were there - great find

came here for a birthday dinner and was pretty disappointed.

chicken was good

short ribs were VERY fatty

botanica cocktail was advertised as being made with Hendricks gin, but waiter/bartender used Beefeater, which makes it a very different (and not as good) drink.

don't think we'll be back to this place.

There was one waiter for the entire restaurant and I'm sure he was overwhelmed. But because of it the service overall was subpar (not his fault) and he kept getting our order wrong. However he was very friendly and tried his best. Food was also subpar. I wouldn't return.

We loved our evening at L'Artista!! The setting was quiet and intimate. The service was friendly and attentive. The only thing better than those is the food! The food is FANTASTICO!! The arincina took me right back to Sicily. My gnocci with gorgonzola, walnuts and pear was the best!!! Those little pillows absorbed the delicious sauce and then they melted in my mouth. The addition of pear and walnuts to the creamy gorgonzola sauce is perfection. My husband enjoyed the Bolognese, saying it was the best he'd had, extra meaty and flavorful. We'll be back!!!

Rolando was just perfect. Funny, attentive and kind. Nonetheless the food was just perfect, as Italian I wouldn’t have changed anything. We started with Tagliere Campagnolo, exceptional rosemary taralli, sliced cured meats and olives.
After that we had tagliata di tonno (such a tender and exquisite piece), gnocchi al Gorgonzola and polletto. All of us were super happy and full!
And the final homemade limoncello was just the cherry on top!

We had a *very* special meal at L’artista. First time there. Delightful, caring service. Atmospheric, compact interior. Absolutely delicious food. It’s Restaurant Week so the three of us ordered our 3-course options from the limited, $45 fixed price menu. Also, we all had mixed drinks as it was happy hour. Good deal. We shared each main dish…Eggplant with burrata, pan seared branzino, and a Bolonese pasta. All were outstanding. The killer appetizer was thin sliced Wagyu beef with smoked greens. Bread pudding dessert was yummy. Wish we lived in the City, as this place is clearly one to which we’d return, repeatedly. Highly recommended.

So glad I discovered this cute little restaurant in Harlem. It's like you are in Europe. Our waiter Rolando was so very, very welcoming and friendly. Excellent service. The prices are reasonable and they serve a lot. I had to take most home. I don't generally don't like bread pudding but this was superb. When I go to a restaurant, I look for clean bathrooms. They have a very clean bathroom. Please try it out.

I stopped by for a quick drink with two companions and ended up enjoying a couple Italian Marguerites, several appetizers, and a great time last night!
The restaurant is lovely...well designed, comfortable, and welcoming. The Server (Rolando?) was great.
Inside and outside seating with an intimate outside nook in back of the restaurant.

Vegetarian options: The watermelon salad and eggplant are delicious

Food was good. Portions were small. Dessert had alcohol, would have ordered a different one had we been told, being a non drinker. Also air conditioner off and door open on a very humid day.

L’Artista is a true gem! We’ve been regulars for 3 years and have loved it every time.

Don’t be fooled by its small physical footprint - this restaurant packs a punch. Everything from its starters (try the Arancino), to the mains (all the pasta dishes!), to the deserts (lava cake is a personal favorite) is delicious.

The restaurant also has an impressive wine and cocktail menu - ask for recommendations from the knowledgeable staff.

One note of caution: Since L’Artista only has limited seating, make sure to reserve ahead of time if you want a spot on a special day, like Valentine’s. Once you do, nothing will stand in your way towards a delicious evening!
