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!!!
