Square Meal review of Artigiano: ? Write your review

The name means ‘craftsman’ in Italian, so it’s just as well that Artigiano’s kitchen has the skills to back it up. Intuitive, assured cooking gets the best out of ‘fantastic produce’, on an imaginative menu that might offer anything from a delicate starter of deep-fried courgette flowers stuffed with creamy mozzarella, or sardines marinated in a Carpione dressing, to hearty gnocchi with Black Forest ham & baby spinach. Other dishes also show due respect for ingredients, such as a sea bass fillet pepped up with asparagus flan & aromatic olive oil, & a flavour-packed spiced beef & red wine casserole. The interior is as stylish as the designer-clad clientele, including a gorgeous skylight, classy furnishings & double doors that open on to pretty Belsize Village when the sun shines. Italian regional greats give kudos to the wine list, with bottles brought to the table by delightful & enthusiastic staff.

I went to Artigiano on the 50% a la carte deal which you can get on Toptable or Squaremeal and it was excellent value. There was a great selection on the menu, pasta, meat, fish etc and the place was packed out. The venue itself is in a small mews area of Belsize Park so i dont think its as easy for those who dont drive. The food was great though – though my friend did find a small squid piece in her salad (she didnt order this and she was allergic! Also got charged twice for drinks. However i think this is a mistake which could have happened in any restaurant.

I ended up having ravioli with cream cheese stuffing and a main of lamb cutlets. The meals dont come with sides so you have to order that on top. Both meals were good though portions seemed a decent size. My friend had buffalo mozarella and a main of breaded chicken. Everything was extremely tasty.

Anyhow – the final bill for two people having three courses each plus a drink came to £45, so £23 each and i though that was excellent value. Ill definitely be going back – a great ‘neighbourhood’ haunt which felt cosy and stylish.

Needing a spot to get a bite for lunch in the north west, we found Artigiano on this website and cross-checked elsewhere as Squaremeal reviewers were lacking in number. On a Winter’s day, with few punters, it was a little cold (both temperature and décor having lots of glass/light tiled floor and cool tones generally). But when busier, and especially at night, I am sure it turns into something more vibrant with LED’s adding colourful warmth to the atmosphere. Effort in styling achieved by not insignificant investment was evident. Significant effort was also evident from the generously plated fare in what I would describe as freshly prepared, unfrilled, and reasonably priced meals (wines likewise). All served with good spirit, it seemed to be a venue that has the hallmark of a sound neighbourhood eatery.
