About Artusi
Artusi opened in March 2014, with Marcella following 3 years later in 2017. Both restaurants opened to excellent reviews from critics and customers alike. For over 10 years now the restaurant has been providing good value, high quality Italian inspired cuisine to their customers in south London.
Menus are changed daily and have a hyper-seasonal approach to cooking. Artusi also sources the best ingredients they can, making everything in house and from scratch, including fresh sourdough, pasta, and homemade ricotta.
The menus at Artusi and Marcella are concise, but there’s always something for everyone, and it’ll always be different every time.
“We offer family-style sharing feasts for large groups”.
