Let’s be honest. Sometimes you want Italian food that goes beyond another plate of spaghetti and meatballs. You want something that feels a little different. A little special. The kind of place you’d stumble into on a side street somewhere in Italy.
That’s exactly the vibe at Artusi.
By day, it’s an elevated Italian sandwich shop. At night, it transforms into a cozy trattoria serving fresh pasta, small plates, and bold Italian flavors. Even just stepping in, you immediately feel a world away.
But here’s the headline: Artusi is serving Western New York’s first piega.
Never heard of one? You’re not alone.

Think of it as part sandwich, part pizza, and completely delicious. A piega starts with house-made Neapolitan pizza dough. The dough gets stretched, folded in half, and baked in an 800-degree oven for about a minute. Then it’s opened up and stuffed with fresh ingredients and creative flavor combinations.
Even better? There are ten different piega options to choose from. So no matter what you’re craving, there’s a good chance you’ll find a new favorite.
Of course, the piegas are only part of the story.

Artusi just launched a new evening menu that lets quality ingredients do the talking. Nothing is overcomplicated. Nothing is trying too hard. Every dish is built to let the ingredients shine. The result is food that feels familiar while still surprising you. And that’s what makes Artusi stand out.
Think fresh pasta dishes, elevated salads, and shareable small plates. The broccolini Caesar is mouthwatering. The Maltagliati Bolognese loaded in the best way possible. The whipped ricotta irresistibly fluffy. And yes. Of course there’s a cheese plate.

Another standout feature is the open kitchen. There’s no mystery behind the food here. You can actually watch the team stretch dough, prepare ingredients, and plate dishes right in front of you. It’s dinner and a show.
The beauty of Artusi is that it’s not trying to recreate the Italian-American restaurants you’ve been visiting for years. It’s bringing something new to the table. All while still delivering all the warmth, comfort, and hospitality you want from a great Italian meal.
So if you’ve been looking for an excuse to shake up your usual dinner plans, consider this your sign. Come for the piega. Stay for the pasta. And don’t be surprised if you leave feeling like you just took a quick trip to Italy without ever leaving the Northtowns.
