Artu: A Feast for the Senses

 If you are looking for a fantastic place to dine in Boston, look no further than Artu.

Located on Prince Street in Boston's historic North End, Artu offers everything in terms of pleasing everyone's palates. Whether you are looking for a vegetarian or gluten-free meal, Artu can accommodate.

Recently the restaurant served The Red Balloon an array of culinary wonders that drizzled and delighted.

For starters we feasted on:

Barbabietole: the beet salad with gorgonzola cheese and a delicious pistachio vinaigrette.

Polpette: house made meatballs made to perfection.

Pane: Grilled country bread topped with smoked mozzarella, backyard farm tomatoes, and prosciutto.

Capesante: Grilled sea scallop, cipollini puree, and oven roated cauliflower.

If that were not enough, the restaurant gave a wide array of options for the Primi and Secondi course.

The menu choices are numerous and the portions are generous. Artu has a private dining area which is a prime location to hold an event as it has a wonderful skylight, providing natural light into the space.

When you visit, the eggplant rollatini is a dish not to be missed.

For those seafood lovers, the salmone which includes buttered brussel sprouts and a potato puree is a delicious option.

As an authentic Italian restaurant, Artu served dessert consisting of the most decadent flourless chocolate cake The Red Balloon has ever tasted, a canoli, and tiramasu. 

The North End feasts may have ended for the season but Artu offers endless feasting on Prince Street.

Happy Feasting!
