b'artusi

"This Italian wine bar feels like a thumbnail version of its sister restaurant, L'Artusi, and it’s a wonderful place to have a cocktail or a glass of wine while you share a few small plates with a friend or date. The menu is mostly geared towards snacking, with options like fluke crudo, arancini, and a burger with tomato jam and guanciale." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus

"The kale Caesar ($17) at B’Artusi, sibling restaurant to fancier L’Artusi, boasts a nice crunch from the toasted walnuts and garlic croutons. Adding chicken for $7 is a pro move for the diner who wants to really fill up on this nicely Parmesan’d salad." - Kristen Kornbluth

"Soft and chewy (yet crispy), the arancini ($14) at B’Artusi are the perfect snack to have with a glass of wine and a friend." - Eater Staff

"L’Artusi is one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. If you want to eat there, put your name in for a seat at the bar, then grab a drink a few doors down at B’Artusi. This West Village wine bar feels like a thumbnail version of its sister restaurant, and it’s a wonderful place to have a cocktail or a glass of wine while you share a few small plates with a friend or date. The menu is mostly geared towards snacking, with options like tuna crudo, steak tartare, and an aguachile that tastes like a deconstructed shrimp cocktail. The marble bar is always packed with couples drinking wine and house negronis, and there are few small tables where you can sit and catch up with someone you like." - Bryan Kim

"Located just a few blocks from the Italian neighborhood spot L’Artusi comes a new wine bar. Fittingly dubbed B’Artusi, this new spot will focus on Italian wines and a menu overseen by L’Artusi chef Joe Vigorito. Expect dishes such as a sunchoke Caesar, a fennel tuna crudo, and Sicilian ice cream sandwiches." - Emma Orlow
