A small italian restaurant in Luton. A surprise when we come in and saw the tables with white table cloths. A lot of dishes to choose between. The choices we made were really delicious. We decided fast that we will visit this restaurant again during the week we stays in Luton. We felt also special when the chef came and talk to us. The personal was friendly and helpful.
Had a wonderful night with a big group of friends at Lartista in the outdoor seating area. We were well looked after by two members of staff and each of us had personalised pizzas. The food was great, cocktails were lovely and the atmosphere is friendly, relaxed, and welcoming. Highly recommend the profiteroles. The place has a lovely cosy indoor seating area as well ans the benches outside, and all staff were brilliant. This will be a perfect spot in the summer sun!
5 Stars – Absolutely Amazing! Wow! This restaurant truly deserves five stars. The food was incredible — so fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Every dish tasted like it was made with love and care, using top-quality ingredients. Absolutely first-class from start to finish. What made the experience even more special was the atmosphere — everyone was treated like family. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared that we had a great time. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be back!
Beautiful spot! Brilliant food and our waitress Mia was lovely and helpful! Pizza was outstanding. Though the outside tables where we were sat are on the side of the road which slightly impacts the atmosphere, it still feels quite secluded and it's a lovely view of the rolling hills! The team let us put our own tunes on and were all really friendly!
I’ve never been to this restaurant before but was told by the brother in law of a friend to go along for a meal there. Six of us went and we all said how great the food was, I personally had fillet steak served with a mushroom sauce and it was lovely, cooked just right. Artan the head chef and founder of the restaurant came round later and spoke to most customers which I thought was a nice gesture. I would definitely go there again, it’s a pity that it’s not in a nicer area, the streets are quite rubbish strewn but th3 restaurant made up for that.
Classy Italian restaurant. In Luton on weekday business, dining on my own, fancied a nice steak & this was just the ticket. Looked after by a friendly, efficient, polite waiter. Had garlic bread (generous portions) & calamari starter and a wonderful sirloin steak, medium rare prepared to perfection. Nice touch at the end with a continental style free shot on the house. Would recommend.
Lovely restaurant in Luton, the chef is amazing and says hello to all his guests. The food speaks for itself... I am a new regular thoroughly recommend the pork with cream and porcini mushrooms is delicious
Delicious food by Artan and wonderful service by the team :) thank you all
