Artu was established on the most basic Italian technique: wonderful ingredients served simply. Artu first opened its doors to the world in February 1992, with exceptional sandwiches and mouthwatering roasted meats. Since then, we have continued to improve and grow. We've steadily expanded our repertoire since then. We've created old-world comfort food dishes from those sandwiches and roasted meats, as well as modern versions of those classics that make even the most discerning diner remember about their upbringing. Some may recall our kitchen being hidden behind a high counter that was visible from the dining room. A magnificent granite bar now stands in its stead, serving delectable libations till 2 a.m. A tiny dining area perches above the bar, with views of both the bar and Prince Street. It's ideal for any customer as a private dining area or lounge. The main dining room is large enough to accommodate any size group, and it is noted for its lively atmosphere. Artu has become a go-to for tourists and our North End neighbors alike since those February days in 1992. Do you want Artu to host your next party or event? Simply phone us at 617-742-4336 or fill out the form on the events page of our website, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible! “Decided to try this place at the recommendation of our Uber driver and it definitely didn’t disappoint!
