The Scene
This popular offshoot caters to a mostly older local crowd--a stark contrast to the bounty of tourists that constantly fill the original Artu, in the North End. Exposed-brick walls, low ceilings and a busy open kitchen create an exceptionally homey environment. But cramped quarters mean overheard conversations are the norm. Save for the many patrons who dart in for takeout orders, most everyone enjoys selections from the limited, but wisely chosen, wine list. Congenial waiters treat everyone, even first-timers, like regulars.

The Food

Befitting a true rosticceria, the comforting menu is heavy on meats (cured and grilled) and fire-roasted vegetables. Excellent antipasti options include the popular house variety, with flavorful smoked mozzarella and sweet roasted red peppers. Well-seasoned, slow-roasted lamb, or a juicy half-chicken fresh off the rotisserie grill prove deeply satisfying entrees. Dessert options, though limited, include a light, homemade tiramisu made with rum-soaked ladyfingers.
