I sat down to a peaceful, delicious, mid-afternoon meal on Sunday, and everything was lovely...food, service (Edwin, our server, was just the right blend of efficient and discreet). I thought I couldnt be happier. But about an hour into the meal, I discovered I could: I dont know if its every Sunday, but a live, small ensemble program of music began around five. I was sorry my holiday crazy schedule wouldnt let me stay, but the quality of the food and service, plus the added dimension of the tastefully gentle live music--not to mention the reaonable prices--will have me returning undoubtedly. The charm of middle Europe, without the airfare!

Neighborhood bistro overlooking a small square with good al fresco ambiance, (so long as the square not being occupied by noisy groups). The location was perfect for cook afternoon and evening, as the sun sets behind the building.The wait staff were wonderful on the two occasions we dined.Pros: outdoor dining when timing is right. The sides of mushroom and spinach were excellent. The seared tuna was great.Cons: only one draft beer choice. The Prime Ribeye may not be the USDA Prime grade, but was ok for the price.They also have a back patio that could also have a nice ambiance at night when the lights come up, bit havent been.

I opted for something light so I had the Salmon and a glass of Pinot Grigio. The wine was very nice, the salmon and vegetables grilled just right. The curbside seated worked out well because of the nice evening weather but they have a rear patio too see the photos. The service was excellent. And there are a few public benches near by if you want to sit and relax after dinner.

Had a nice evening during happy hour in this little gem. We got the cheese & meat board and bottle of red. We watch the people pass by while enjoying the place and the food. The bread is amazing! It’s fluffy and went well with the light buttery cheese. It’s awesome that my bf place is just around the corner. Can’t wait to sit by the little park and enjoy the sun while having a rose when it gets warmer.

Lovely place with great food, simple Italian menu with a hint of Spain, simple wine menu as well but you will find some wine to pair with your dishes.I tried few dishes and I loved them, Ive been following shef German from his other restaurants and he has been consistent with the quality of his food.I tried the prosciutto with tomato and mozzarella and it was nice and fresh, tried the lamb and it was beautifully cooked with even temperature on both pieces, which is a sign of a skilled chef.Service might take some time, usually for me that knocks down the rating to 4 stars but I understand that things are not the same since the pandemic, other than that a nice restaurant with great atmosphere.Make sure to check the back area, its quite and relaxing if you want to enjoy a conversation

Wonderful brunch menu. Had the Frittata & Riesling wine. Very friendly service. Chef German prepared the food. YUM, Yum, YUM.Good variety of wines, beer & liquors. LIVE JAZZ MUSIC later on!! Come on up to Hamilton Heights. This is well worth the trip!! I highly recommend.I just stopped in to have dinner. This cozy restaurant is still great!

I think everyone in the neighborhood should visit L Argot. The place is perfect for a night out, chatting with friends, dating, etc. I love their food especially their burgers. The drinks are a whole different level, I never had a bloody marry like the one they serve. The atmosphere is positive and the bartender is super cool. Not a loud music, perfect to had a conversation with someone else. The place is clean and organized, I visited the place 4 times already I will highly recommend it

We had a *very* special meal at L’artista. First time there. Delightful, caring service. Atmospheric, compact interior. Absolutely delicious food. It’s Restaurant Week so the three of us ordered our 3-course options from the limited, $45 fixed price menu. Also, we all had mixed drinks as it was happy hour. Good deal. We shared each main dish…Eggplant with burrata, pan seared branzino, and a Bolonese pasta. All were outstanding. The killer appetizer was thin sliced Wagyu beef with smoked greens. Bread pudding dessert was yummy. Wish we lived in the City, as this place is clearly one to which we’d return, repeatedly. Highly recommended.

Everytime i come here, its always a magical intimate moment. the server is always attentive to my order and has the most amazing picks when jt comes to the menu. their dishes, especially the pollo will leave you begging for more and has made me a repeat customer when i lived in new york city.

Great food and ambience. I didn’t enjoy my meal but I feel like it wasn’t a match for me (fried rice ball). Next time I’ll try something else. My partner had amazing seafood pasta dish that we both enjoyed. Made in-house and tasty. Service was great. Would come back

Went for dinner on a Sunday, no wait and plenty of seating. Very small, perfect for a date night. Small menu but still variety. Everything was delicious. Pastas was fresh and cooked just right. Would go again. Highly recommend.

My husband and I have been to LArtista on a number of occasions and it never disappoints. The food and wine menus are very thoughtful and always a delight. The atmosphere is fantastic (inside has a cosy Harlem Bohemian vibe and the outside area is a gem as its tucked away from traffic on a square where theres often live music playing). More than anything, the service is outstanding. Weve always been very well looked after by Giovanni, Ronaldo and on our last visit also the lovely young lady whos just joined the team. Really recommend this place if you want an elegant but relaxed date night (the brunch is also fab).

I stopped by for a quick drink with two companions and ended up enjoying a couple Italian Marguerites, several appetizers, and a great time last night!The restaurant is lovely...well designed, comfortable, and welcoming. The Server (Rolando?) was great.Inside and outside seating with an intimate outside nook in back of the restaurant.

Really good food and drinks however we went for happy hour but they didn’t have a happy hour menu in person and after we asked the waiter said to check online but also there want one there. The guy serving us was very nice but he was the server/busser/hostess he was the only person there taking care of 7 tables so we got our glass of wine 30 minutes after ordering, felt bad for him! Hire more people!

The food here is exquisite.Very cozy & intimate atmosphere.Never had a bad meal!The people working here are very friendly & make me feel welcome every time.I always look forward to beautiful options.Will definitely be back.

Review 19 (2024-08-29 - Rating: 5)
Rolando was just perfect. Funny, attentive and kind. Nonetheless the food was just perfect, as Italian I wouldn’t have changed anything. We started with Tagliere Campagnolo, exceptional rosemary taralli, sliced cured meats and olives.After that we had tagliata di tonno (such a tender and exquisite piece), gnocchi al Gorgonzola and polletto. All of us were super happy and full!And the final homemade limoncello was just the cherry on top!

Review 20 (2024-05-29 - Rating: 5)
What a wonderful walking distance to City College.We celebrated our sons graduation and was so pleased with the service, the ambience and food. Great choice of wines, beers and cocktails along with delicious flat breads and a flavorful meal I had was octopus with polenta. The restaurant treated us to Limoncello shots and dessert to celebrate and the staff was so friendly and attentive. We enjoyed watching people in the square play dominos and see the sunset on the surrounding buildings. A great find.

We had a family dinner on Saturday, 4/20. Kate was our waitress and she was absolutely AMAZING. We had the artichokes and the carpaccio for appetizers. For dinner, the table had the beef short rib, salmon, tuna, and spaghetti. Absolutely exceptional. The entire experience was to notch and it’s highly recommended.

I visited this restaurant last night and could not believe how good the food is in this place. Every dish was absolutely delicious including desserts. A gem! Can’t wait to go back for more.

We enjoyed a family brunch following the engagement of out daughter. We sat outside on the lovely patio. This is a very small but beautiful restaurant. The food was absolutely fantastic, the service was personal and friendly, and the cocktails were perfect. Be aware that it takes time to eat a meal here-so don’t be in a hurry. We will definitely be back.

Review 25 (2024-05-30 - Rating: 5)
What an amazing discovery! Took our daughter here for an after graduation dinner and everything we ordered was exquisite. Spent our dinners passing plates around so that all could enjoy the amalgam of flavors as we sat out back. Even the thunderstorm that ripped through couldn’t dampen our meal as the umbrella that was moved over and the surrounding overhangs managed to keep us dry. FYI, the signature drinks were also perfect, including the 0% Negroni. Extra acknowledgements to our server, who kept everything straight as we kept changing our minds, and introduced us to J’Nai Bridges and Willie Alexander, who just happened to be sharing the patio with us at the next table. So on top of everything else, new music in the queue! All of it is just a long block over and short block down from the 145th St 1, facing Johnny Hartman Plaza.

The restaurant staff are super friendly and provide an excellent service. The restaurant is small but very cozy. They also offer live music on Sunday. Love their thin-crust pizza. Absolutely delicious. If you happen to visit Hamilton Height, dont miss a chance to visit LArtista. Highly recommended.

Review 32 (2020-10-24 - Rating: 5)
This has become our go-to spot in our neighborhood. Incredible but affordable food, the friendliest service, and a backyard patio with the most romantic, cozy atmosphere! Weve been back several times after having brunch here and every experience has been fantastic! Brunch is has some amazing options (even for vegetarians like us) and dinner has great appetizers, salads, and fabulous pastas. So grateful for a place like this nearby with great, spaced out outdoor dining to make us feel safe during the pandemic while still enjoying a night out!

Review 33 (2022-09-13 - Rating: 5)
I booked L’Artista for a private event last night and I could not be more thrilled with my experience! It was my first time planning an event at a restaurant, and from the very beginning of the process, manager Guillermo was so impressive and attentive. He helped me so much with choosing the menu and made sure that I was happy and relaxed during the event itself. He was so detail oriented that I knew I could trust him and the staff to handle a large group with confidence and ease. I never thought planning an event like this could be so low stress!Our bartender for the evening, Mike, was so friendly and kind that many of my guests were telling me how much they liked him. He was behind the bar by himself, so the fact that he could handle that many people and still be so nice and calm was very impressive.And I haven’t even gotten to the food. The food here is absolutely incredible, with special attention to fresh ingredients. And if you’re looking for a great (and I mean GREAT) charcuterie board in Hamilton Heights, look no further.We love L’Artista and will definitely be back!

Last weekend I hosted my sister’s bridal shower at L’Artista and it was simply wonderful. I’ve been working with the owner German, trying to plan it for several months. They have a beautiful backyard patio, but due to structural issues we could not host it there like originally planned. I had an idea to host it in the public square in front of the restaurant. German, Guillermo, and the other staff were more than accommodating to make my vision come to life. The food was delicious, drinks were strong, and staff friendly. I personally prefer to support smaller, local restaurants and they surely provided amazing services. Thank you so much for everything!

Amazing experience!! We were alone in the restaurant on a cold Monday night. We order the special, and it was out of stock. But the owner and the chef proposed us something not on the menu. Barramundi with mash potatoes and butter blanc sauce, and home made fresh parpadelle with mushroom and truffle sauce. It was by far, the best meal of our trip!!The owner was really kind, friendly with good proposition and good recommendation and very professional.This experience was outstanding!!Thanxx again!!

Great atmosphere! Good food! Amazing staff! Moises really has a vision for the place and follows through with the concept of the restaurant! The menu Moises and the staff worked on gives people a bit of everything. The cocktails are unique! Very detailed and Moises really enforces the importance of presentation! Makes everyone feel welcomed! Works with people to satisfy them and make sure their experience is a positive one. Worth going in to eat or drink. If Moises isn’t there your experience is still a great off due to the genuineness of the staff!Edit: new ownership, they should delete all the old yelp and google reviews since 98% of these reviews are from L’Argot and not L’ARTISTA.

I love this restaurant so much! Can not rave about it enough! The atmosphere is inviting and beautiful, and the staff are so great. My fiancé and I sat at the bar right next to the open kitchen and had wonderful conversations with the chef who was very accommodating to my dietary restrictions. Love that the head chef is a woman, and she even gave us a complimentary dessert, flourless chocolate cake which I can not recommend enough!!!! We will be going back here as soon as possible and hope you do too!

Absolutely fantastic! Best food and service Ive had in a long time. Just great. We got a meat board (Spain v Italy) which was great. We also got the rib and mussels. Also fantastic! It is so fresh. We could literally watch the chef cooking our food. This is a place that makes all of it fresh and immediately. For example, we saw the chef make our mashed potatoes right in front of us. Fresh potatoes, boiled, and all the good stuff. I could not recommend more.

L’Artista is a true gem! We’ve been regulars for 3 years and have loved it every time.Don’t be fooled by its small physical footprint - this restaurant packs a punch. Everything from its starters (try the Arancino), to the mains (all the pasta dishes!), to the deserts (lava cake is a personal favorite) is delicious.The restaurant also has an impressive wine and cocktail menu - ask for recommendations from the knowledgeable staff.One note of caution: Since L’Artista only has limited seating, make sure to reserve ahead of time if you want a spot on a special day, like Valentine’s. Once you do, nothing will stand in your way towards a delicious evening!

This was our second time at LArgot. The first time it was on a weekend for a brunch and it was delicious. This time it was for dinner, also delicious. For a starter, we had a guacamole with plantain chips (instead of tortilla chips), excellent combination. The service was excellent, the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Good news! They were getting the back courtyard ready with tables and flower pots so soon it will be open! They also have live jazz certain days.

Such a lovely sweet new addition to the ever expanding Hamilton Heights restaurant scene. The food, service and wine were all on point. This place has one of those great cozy vibes - not too large yet big enough to have a buzz, meet some neighbors and enjoy quality food. Finally can get some tasty grilled octopus in the hood :). I cant wait to return.

My husband and I recently moved to the area and noticed this charming-looking restaurant on the square. After some time we finally went last night on a whim. It was every bit as inviting inside as it appeared when we passed it by. The atmosphere is not the only selling point. There is a good wine list that is reasonably priced and the food was delicious too. The pasta was a stand out. Our waitress was very kind and welcoming as well. It’s a great a neighborhood restaurant that I will definitely visit again.

My friend and I got done with class at City College and were going to go to an Italian place near campus, but they had a 45 minute wait. We discovered this a few blocks away and decided to check it out and I am so glad we did. This place is a hole in the wall with some of the best handmade food I’ve ever had. I got the gnocchi and it was prepared as an individual portion made to order and it was the best gnocchi I’ve had in a very long time. They were pillowy and soft and the sauce they were served in was insanely good. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect for a catch up sesh with my best friend. I will be coming back here and telling my friends about it because — wow! Truly so delicious. We also split the passion fruit pannacotta for dessert and it was made with fresh passion fruit on top. If you’re looking for good food, this is your spot.

The service made me feel like I was with family. The space is beautiful. The music was perfect - not too loud. I cant wait to go back! Perfect place for a first date. If you read this and decide to go. Enjoy!

Giovani was great, brought us the BEST mushrooms. Truffle fries, meat and cheese board, and an amazing wild mushroom dish were all fabulous . . . One of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. It’s now a favorite in our google maps. We’ll be back.

Had an absolutely lovely dinner. The food was amazing. Arvin took amazing care of us while still juggling his other tables as the only server/bartender. He was very timely and a pleasure to have, always making sure we had what we needed and updated us when necessary. Truly a great dining experience.

Had the best time here. Amazing food, the sweetest staff and most down to earth owner. Held a party there two nights ago and all anyone could talk about was how delicious the food/drinks were and how beautiful the restaurant was. 100/10. Come eat here, throw a party here, you’ll be in the best hands.

Review 110 (2019-12-21 - Rating: 5)
Theyre new, so I hope they keep up the ambiance, but the best part has to be whats on the drinks menu. This place is different, and each drink has its own little backstory of creation. The bartender makes the drinks with care, so youre not just having a drink, but having one of his pieces of art. Workers are attentive and friendly. Coming here to relax after a long day is ideal. Such a nice place

Our neighbors recommended LArtista and were so glad they did. We ate on the back patio which is lovely. The vegetarian sliders are the bomb!! I had the lemon ravioli which was delicious; hubby had the octopus. Thrilled they are in the neighborhood and definitely recommend!

Review 114 (2021-05-10 - Rating: 5)
We celebrated my son’s First Communion lunch at L’Artista the first weekend of May. Everything was perfect. German’s attention to detail was outstanding. Our family had the best reunion in their outdoor garden. It far exceeded my expectations. It was such a memorable experience. Looking forward to supporting this restaurant even more. It has a lot of soul, passion and a lot of heart behind it. We felt at home.

Come join Giovanni for great food and ask him to make you a signature cocktail. Here are two of his latest creations, the St. Luce and the Tiramisu Martini. I had the Tiramisu Martini, it was scrumptious!

Review 119 (2020-10-28 - Rating: 5)
Lartista is a welcoming and cozy yet sophisticated place. I had such a great time in the backyard seating area eating delicious food and sipping wonderful wine al fresco! They have free concerts on Sundays and the sidewalk seating is lovely, all within a new pedestrian zone! (No noisy trucks right in front of your table all the time) The menu is inventive yet firmly rooted in the northern Italian tradition and changes on a regular basis depending on the season, which I appreciate. Great place for cocktails as well. Highly recommended!!

Excellent new restaurant, with delicious food and top quality ingredients. The owner, Daniel, has such a clear passion for the place and his personality shines through it, including concerts he often puts on at the weekend. Dont miss it!

What a warm and cozy restaurant to enjoy a wonderful atmosphere & great food however you want it. The service was cordial and attentive. A clean environment with a sense of care for their influence. The wine was traditional, the moment was special and rememorable. I will be returning there soon. No driving this time cause too many cars in the area. Im grateful with no regrets to have chosen LArtista.

Weve been to LArgot twice now, and had several items from the menu. The food has all been excellent, the service super friendly, with a nice overall vibe. This is a wonderful spot, all around!

Review 127 (2019-06-10 - Rating: 5)
Pleasant bar/bistro vibe. Spotted this place as I walked home, stepped in to check out the menu and decided to stay. Met a wonderful bartender who made the most exotic cocktail with mezcal. Very surprised at the refinement of the menu.Had dinner and started with their grilled octopus. My mouth watered as they took it off the grill. Once I took a bite I was sold. Succulent and chard in all the right places. Continued with their 10oz burger and ate it rare. It was amazing.Whole experience made me smile. Glad to see Sugar Hills developed a smooth and charming dining scene. If you are looking for a new spot that delivers L’Argot is the place.Have gone back several times since and experience the same hospitality. Their wait staff and bartenders are knowledgeable and serve with tendered kindness.

The service is very attentive and their cocktails are on point. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the Bolognese was exquisite. The only drawback is the pizza dough, it is not Neapolitan or New York. It is more of a greek dough.

Very cute and cozy place! I especially like the outdoor area in the back! Our waitress was super kind and warm. I ordered the churrasco and mashed potatoes for dinner, and she informed me that there is cheese in the potatoes. No problem! The food arrived and there was bleu cheese in the potatoes! I was expecting anything but that. Interesting flavor that I hated but didnt say anything since I was told cheese, just not specifically bleu cheese. The steak was a lunch portion at dinner, but decent in flavor!

What a beautiful find on a rainy, cold December night! The moment my friend entered the lovely, intimate, warm LArtista. there were amazing aromas (,the short ribs with rosemary). The owner, Frederico, was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and wine offerings, and the history of that slice of Hamilton Ave. The mushroom lasagne was delicious, the nutella tiramisu something Ill be craving my next return. The prices were do reasonable for such quality too! Will definitely return, esp. As live music starts in January.
