Cafe Artigiano

01/17/2020 - I have been coming here several times a month and getting the DELICIOUS cheese ravioli probably for a good while now. I recently brought a co-worker who ordered the chicken parm grinder and raved about it. Figured I would try something different and well, he aint kidding! This is probably the best chicken parm grinder you will find! Its not overloaded with sauce like some places and the sauce is just right to keep it moist without overpowering the cheese or chicken. Its a good meal! A perfect lunch meal for a cold Boston winter day has to be the lasagna. its not a brownie sized square like you get at some places and its good pasta! Its cooked without being burned and once again a great sauce with just the right amount! YUM! 2019 - A nice semi secluded restaurant in Boston. A great place to go to get away from the tourists and hustle and bustle of downtown Boston. Great food, extremely clean, good service and my favorite its quiet! Nice place to eat a good meal and relax for a few minutes! This place offers convenient take out for folks who work in the area. You get plastic ware and a nice container and you dont even have to ask for napkins! Did I mention clean? Its clean to the point of seeming like it is newly opened!

HIDDEN GEM! The perfect little Italian take-out/eat-in place tucked away in an alley alongside Old City Hall, off School Street. Lunch salads are delicious; made with fresh veggies, succulent chicken, and tasty house-made dressings. Authentic fried arancini just like you would get in Italy. And there’s a level of service you won’t get with other places nearby: get your food for “here” and they have real metal silverware, and bring the food to your table on real plates. Reasonable prices, especially for the neighborhood.

Always amazing food with a great menu that allows for some customizability. Inside there is a good amount of seating where you can eat your order like you would at a restaurant, but you clean up after yourself. Like most food places downtown this one also has a takeout option where your bag comes with everything you may need to enjoy your meal. The staff always have a great smile that tells you that they really enjoy doing what they do.

I went here once for lunch and got bolognese with linguine for around $11. The portion was quite large, and the pasta & sauce was tasty, although I wasn't blown away. I would go back to try another pasta dish or a panini. The interior felt a little drab, although there was a decent amount of seating. It was suprisingly empty for noon on a weekday.
