    Lovely price fixed menu for Valentines Day, base portion size adequate, can easily be added to with bread course and extra's, service was attentive but not rushing with manager checking on satisfaction after first few swallows. Culinary expectations both met and exceeded. We'll be back, oops, said that the last time as well.

    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!!!
