  I keep coming back to this local place because it always has something delicious on its short but satisfying menu. Sometimes things aren't quite to my taste, the borlotti beans and samphire were lacking something to elevate them but the meatball starter was delicious. Again my companion's Ragu was better than my pasta dish but overall the meal was excellent. The Amaro spritz was delicious. It's a local restaurant worth returning to.

  I was really looking forward to coming here but the whole experience was a total let down. We arrived and our table wasnt ready – it was finally ready 20 mins after the time we'd booked. Annoying but we thoughy we'd give them benefit of the doubt. Then it took forever to order and when my partner went to order something off the massive blackbkard in front of him we were told that was the lunch menu and not available (nowhere on the board did it say that and we weren't told) - so that was the second let down. By the time the starter arrived we'd been sitting down for 45 mins and sadly it was very average. Not once were we offered more drinks. Finally, 1.5 hours after arriving two bowls of pasta arrived. My partner's pasta (his second choice) was yummy, but mine was such a rip off. Essentially a bowl of oily pasta with parmesan and a few mushrooms sprinkled on it for £17.00. Overall highly disappointing. Food was very average for the price and the service was pretty bad. Too many bad things after another, which is a shame as i was really looking forward to my visit. Won't be coming back unfortunately. Staff were friendly though!

  Such a little hidden gem very much enjoyed this first experience at Artusi 🙏 it's a short walk from Peckham Rye Station as well. It was a hot day, so it's perfect if passing by and heading to the common to chill out or look around. The food was fresh, especially the pasta, and both were large dishes, and there was a nice menu for lunch and enough choices for drinks too. It's quite a small venue but don't be put off by that.

  **A War Reporter's Account of Artuzi: The Italian Gastronomic Oasis** *Date: June 10, 1917* *Location: Artuzi, an Italian Restaurant* As the tumultuous echoes of war engulfed the nearby streets, I sought refuge in an oasis of Italian cuisine known as Artuzi. Nestled amidst the chaos, this culinary haven promised respite for my weary soul. Equipped with a pen and a palate yearning for satisfaction, I embarked on a gastronomic adventure, armed only with my observations and a thirst for culinary enlightenment. Upon entering the establishment, I was greeted by an air of warmth and familiarity. Sunlight poured through the windows, casting a golden hue upon the patrons as they indulged in hearty Italian fare. In the midst of this quaint atmosphere, I found solace and prepared myself for the culinary journey that awaited me. Opting for a glass of Gavi, a crisp white wine known for its refreshing qualities, I allowed its cool embrace to wash away the weariness of the battlefront. The wine, like a gentle zephyr, danced upon my palate, whispering tales of distant vineyards and sun-drenched orchards. It offered a respite from the heat of the summer, a temporary ceasefire in the relentless battle against dehydration. Alas, the first taste of battle arrived in the form of a plate of pesto and split pea pasta. As I ventured forth, I found the dish to be somewhat lacking in seasoning, failing to reach the crescendo of flavors that my battle-hardened taste buds craved. The pesto, though vibrant in color, lacked the robustness required to fully conquer my palate. Nevertheless, I soldiered on, confident that the subsequent course would prove more victorious. Taking refuge in a glass of Nebbiolo, a noble red wine with its crimson hues reminiscent of bloodshed, I braced myself for the arrival of a dish that promised redemption. The pasta with beef ragu proved to be a worthy adversary, the rich and robust sauce enveloping the tender strands of pasta like battle-worn soldiers finding solace in each other's embrace. Here, the seasoning sang triumphantly, its flavors merging in a symphony of satisfaction that swept me away, if only momentarily, from the battlefield outside. Yet, amidst this culinary strife, there was one constant source of pleasure—sitting in the sun. As I sat bathed in its warm embrace, the world outside seemed to fade away, and for a fleeting moment, the horrors of war were a distant memory. The golden rays kissed my face, bestowing upon me a semblance of tranquility in an otherwise turbulent world. In this moment, I understood the profound power of simple pleasures, of basking in the sunlight as if it were a beacon of hope in the midst of darkness. To quench my thirst, I summoned a mighty bottle of sparkling water, a testament to the perseverance and resilience of the human spirit. As the effervescent bubbles danced upon my tongue, they carried with them a sense of rejuvenation, a reminder that even amidst the chaos, life's simplest pleasures can provide relief. In conclusion, Artuzi, despite its occasional missteps, offers solace to weary souls seeking refuge from the storm of war. Its ambiance, bathed in sunlight and infused with the spirit of Italian hospitality, provides a sanctuary for those yearning for respite. Though some dishes may falter, there are victories to be found, particularly in the form of the pasta with beef ragu. And in the midst of it all, the enduring joy of sitting in the sun and the refreshing embrace of sparkling water are beacons of hope that remind us of life's enduring beauty, even in the darkest of times.

  Overpriced and overvalued place. Tasteless gnocchi and 14 quid for a 4 asparagus plate, sharing a table where you can't barely have a conversation as it gets really loud. The service was good though. We wouldn't recommend. If you wanna try it, I wouldn't book the kitchen table, but that's a personal opinion. Salud

  Menu seems seasonal but I had the best mackerel in my life here! The gnocchi was one of the best I ever had as well. My husband got the other pasta and my friend got a veggie dish, all soooo gooood! Drooling again remember the dish and it’s just a few hours ago! It’s a quaint little spot but the service was excellent they pay attention and being so kind and accommodating to us being a walk-in with a toddler!
