I went out to dinner with a friend on 8/14/2010 in the North End, hoping to get a table at the very popular Giacomo's. The line for Giacomo's was too long with tourists, so my friend and I walked around trying to find some place where the tables were full (indicating usually the food is good), but it wouldn't be more than a 30 minute wait.
We liked the menu on the door at Artu and went in. Had a drink at bar and about 25 minutes later our table was ready. I ordered the lobster ravioli with shrimp and my friend had some dish consisting of shrimp and oysters over linguini. OMG!!! It was one of the best dishes I ever had. My friend thought her's was a bit salty, but I tried it and didn't think so at all. Was awesome! I highly recommend this place.
