Reviews of L'Artista
D. D.
Very friendly staff serving very tasty proper Italian dishes.
Enjoyed a hot portion of mushrooms topped with cheese in tomato sauce, along with the Italian wine of the house (half a litre was just perfect).
Real Italian taste pasta and pizza as main course. Grazie!
You won't regret it if you serve here!
Enjoy!
R. G.
It was a really nice restaurant and even when it got busy, the staff were still really really nice and attentive. It was a really good experience and the food was delicious 😋
There is a range of veggie options! They were quite accommodating in terms of adding toppings and taking out toppings for the mains.
Overall really good quality experience ☺️
Would definitely recommend this restaurant 🙌🏼
A. C.
We booked a table on the website when we arrived the restaurant was completely full but our table for 3 was waiting. The food is amazing and served very fast and the staff are very friendly and helpful, I'll be there soon for sure☺️
J. R.
Great food, decent portion sizes, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff. Also excellent value for money. A fabulous venue for family, couples, or friends.
H. B.
I’ve been here a good few times now and am never disappointed! The food is lovely and so are the staff 😊 would highly recommend this place! Although if you are planning to go on a Friday/Saturday night I’d advise booking a table to avoid disappointment as it’s always packed! 👌🏻
M. B.
The go to place for buzzy atmosphere and authentic Italian dishes. Laid back, friendly and traditional 🥰
P. A.
Just amazing! the best Italian food I ever ate in UK. It just brings back memories from Italy.
Great chef and great portion size for UK restaurant.
K. F.
Amazing food and huge portion sizes for the price busy buzzing atmosphere, friendly hardworking staff running around, queue down the street as this place is so popular, staff worked so hard to get them all in and seated. All 3 courses were delicious. Can't wait to return
M. “. Z. M.
This establishment does Italian food like it should be. The best Italian resturant I’ve been to outside of Italy.
It’s got an old school feel to it. It is very busy and I would recommend you reserve a table. There’s no fancy online computer to reserve with. This is very old school. Call up and they put you on a list with a pen and paper! Lol
The staff are mostly Italian and the banter they have between them is funny. Always with smiles on their faces. The staff work very hard and very quick to get you your food hot and fresh.
The food is fresh, hot and very tasty. This time we opted for Gamberi all, Orientale (prawns in sauce) and Bruschetta Classica (Chopped tomatoes basil and garlic on bread) as starters. Nice and flavourful. For our mains, we had Scaloppine al Limone (Veal escalopes in lemon sauce) with mushrooms, broccoli and roasted potatoes and a Penne all’ Arrabbiata (tomato, garlic and chilli sauce) with Prawns. Oh and tomato garlic bread. Nothing went to waste. All finished and we waddled out when we were done.
We have done many family outings to this restaurant and they have always got the food right, even when we have had 20 plus people there.
Would I recommend this restaurant? Yes. Would I go again? Yes ..

What a wonderful place! I always wanted to try authentic Italian cuisine and I finally did. Staff was very friendly and professional. I asked about many dishes as it was my first time trying Italian. She answered all my questions with patience and suggested us the dish of our requirements. Food was too yum! And the music, ambience was very happening. Over all, it was an amazing experience.
D. G.
Food was ok, could be better but lacking of ambiance wouldn't make me to return in here. The waitress was moody and the communication wasn't very pleasant. The music wasn't on so you can hear just noise from others chats, cutlery or the chef shouting at the waitress so on and so forth. So not a great experience
L. C.
Fabulous homey restaurant with fantastic food and a beautiful atmosphere.
O. O.
I’ve been going for years and overtime it’s completely dropped off. From food to staff it’s just getting less good when I know it used to be 10/10. They have members of staff wondering around not doing anything and when you ask for something they say I can’t do that I’m not your waiter but then don’t do anything to get the waiter for you then just continue to wonder in their own minds. I don’t know what it is but something had to change everybody I love that place, no bueno.
L. G.
Friendliest staff. Great pizzas. But my favorite is the Fegato! Busy but not hectic. My Watford friends’ “go to” Italian restaurant, and I see why. Love the famous people on the wall mural. Adds kitsch! Fun place to have a Italian food and beer.
S. F.
A return visit, this time with more family.
Food yet again excellent, service was friendly. Will be back again.
D. P.
Nice Italian restaurant in Watford town center. This time we didn't book earlier but the Manager Franco was really nice with us and he was able to set a table in 2 min (we suggest to book in advance anyway). We really appreciate the pasta "trenette con i gamberi". The pasta was not overcooked (rare to find in most part of restaurants in Uk) and it tasted really good (we will order it again next time 😉). The pizza was also good. We will come back soon and we will take our friends with us.
T. T.
I forgot to take photos but been here a few times now and I love it. The food tastes amazing. The portions are very big and great value for money. I love the atmosphere.
I. S.
Amazing food. The whole experience from start to finish is great ,waitress is always so friendly and kind . The food can't get better and the prices are faire for the portion size.
Always a great spot to get great food .
I. S.
I had the seafood risotto for the first time. It tasted very nice but kept finding bits of broken mussel shell. Otherwise have been there many times. Service is quick and friendly. Will go again, I'll just avoid the seafood risotto.
D. C.
Great little spot that’s very family/kid friendly. Recommend sitting outside where it’s quieter. Staff was very accommodating to picky eaters. Pizza was hot and tasty.
C. E.
Not bad...I had brusheta and then a meat feast pizza. The brusheta was a little over crispy for me but the toppings were fresh and the same with the pizza which had great flavour and was tasty.
Only served beer in half's which was a bit annoying as had to keep calling the waiter over
T. L.
Always amazing food at Lartista, they NEVER disappoint! And the staff are always fantastic! We even had some Italians sat by us who really seemed to enjoy everything, so that says something!
t.
Fantastic food, fantastic service and friendly staff - this was my 13 year old daughter's birthday party. She was over the moon!!Highly Recoommend. Brilliant value.
s.
Had a sit outside at the terrace. Awesome italian kitchen with nice people serving it. I had ravioli filled with prawn😍 my son spaghetti with meat tomato sauce (bolognese) both tasted super!
m. r.
Excellent customer service - very friendly staff that catered to everyone's needs and fulfilled requests within a timely manner. They were calm which was really good.
The outdoors were clean and in a pretty good location. Pretty good atmosphere, but unfortunately were unlucky to have drunk people shouting walking by (they are next to pubs and clubs), as well some members of the public decided to shout at the people dining thinking they had a singing voice to share (it was awful sorry, we're not at a drunken pub, we wanted to dine in peace).
Not the most amazing food. The pizza was alright but nothing special. It lacked options for ingredients, it lacked spice, no olive oil and overall it was a bit bland. It was overloaded with rocket too.
The starters (king prawns with mushrooms in a lovely tomato sauce) and ice cream however was delicious. So a very good start and ending, just a mediocre middle.
R. H.
Great food, some areas for improvement include fresh coffee, flavoured syrup for coffee, semi skimmed milk option. Great serviice a great place to bring friends and family will definitely come again well done
N. V.
Lovely food with personalised service from all the lovely staff working on my visit. I'm vegetarian with a very picky pallet but they listened and produced the perfect pasta dish for my preference. My best friends also enjoyed their chosen dishes. This venue needs update and better seating and the location of our seating was very uncomfortable.
K. C.
I have been a customer here for several years and although I have had a single occasion of bad service, they seem to have got things back together again. The food here is very authenticly Italian and it is obvious that everything is made from scratch. The food has always been great and they do take time in preparing their good quality food. I normally go for the Tomato Garlic Bread (which is absolutely amazing) and a Calzone.
R. V.
Very good place, good atmosphere and quality food. I would recommend.
M. M.
Great pizza and pasta selection, well cooked and tasty, staff is good and food served in time.
A. K.
Proof is in the pudding.. or Tiramisu! L'Artista is an excellent restaurant serving delicious Italian food. The place is packed (as always) which says a lot about it. For a group of 14 of us, we had several starters and a mix of pastas and Pizza, topping it up with even more yummier desserts. Homemade Tiramisu standing out in a close finish race. Staff is very friendly and always on a look out for your requests. Highly recommended.
D. Y.
Fresh food and cooked to order. Not slow. Good prices too.
A. A.
Came here a couple of days ago with my sister & as always they did not disappoint! Food is amazing & definitely tastes Fresh. Service is fantastic- despite how busy it was, the staff were still so courteous and kind (special shoutout to David!) I really recommend this place to anyone who loves Italian cuisine
j. b.
An old favourite of mine here in Watford. Great pasta and pizza!!! Always busy so best booking although I've been a few times without booking and they've squeezed me in!!
S.
Fabulous food. Huge portions. Attentive staff.
S. W.
Lovely place. People are nice.
Takes a long time to get the food when the place is full. Which is to be expected so can't complain. The food is absolutely incredible. Price is about right.
Anyone looking for an Italian restaurant, look no further. This place is highly recommended 👌🏻
K. S.
Amazing food - the garlic pizza tomato bread is exceptional and the chicken Kiev is the best I’ve ever eaten. The restaurant is incredibly loud though and drinks were served poorly.
A. B.
First time to L’Artista with friends before going out for cocktails. Booked a table for 7pm they were so busy didn’t get to sit down for 15mins however it was absolutely worth the wait! The food was delicious, the wine sensational and the desserts to die for! Definitely going to be booking this place again abd would recommend for anyone looking for some good quality food and plenty of it! Service was very good despite how busy they were. Thank you L’Artista for a great start to my excellent night!
D. F.
Had an amazing diner at L'Artista! I ordered a house wine, the Tagliatelle with Chicken, the Rosemary Focaccia bread and topped it off with the Tortorella Della Nona. The lighting and ambience is perfect for a evening out and the staff ensured all the tables were wiped down and wore masks to drive down the risk of COVID. I'll definitely come back to this restaurant.
M. K.
After a long journey to Ilford we stop off at Watford to enjoy a great lunch at L’artista...very tasty food and a great lunch menu ...we also ordered some hazelnut & Pistachio ice cream to take away its really the best ice cream I’ve tasted in a very long time ❤️❤️
E. D. S.
Delicious food ! Pizza is very good! Slow Service and extra Service Charge including in The final payment! Always busy! Not enough Place to sit in! Delivery is little bit slow too! But food is absolutely good!

B. F.
Booked a table here on Friday (just gone) at 7pm on the basis of the website and previous positive feedback. The outdoor seating area was already bustling as we arrived and there were only a few tables available inside, where we were placed, despite the fact the dense room layout maximises its volume. In short, booking in advance is certainly advisable.
Thanks to this establishment's popularity and the industry of its staff, the atmosphere of L'Artista is wonderfully vibrant. This was supplemented soon after our arrival by the introduction of Latin music, which contributed to the happy sentiment, without drowning out conversation.
The food is excellent, affordable, and generously portioned. Hailing from less pricey environs, this is additional praise insofar as my economic yardstick likely differs from that of the usual patrons. I shared a portion of focaccia, which was a more than sufficient appetiser for the meatballs to follow, which were delicious. The pizza was reportedly equally delectable.
In a nutshell.. a highly-recommendable use of your time and money.
D. G.
I was with my friends a few days ago and we had dinner.The food was great.Best pasta that I have ever had.The lovely waitress Katherine was nice and very helpful.Everything was excellent!!Definitely recommend!!!
A. K.
Amazing, food is great. Good portions size, you definitely won't leave not feeling satisfied
A. I.
It's been a long time since we've eaten out and the wait was worth it. L'Artista is a great restaurant. As it was quite sunny we were able to eat outside and we enjoyed Insalata Primavera and Zucchini Fritti for starters which were both very tasty and good sizes. Mains were pasta - tagliatelle ai Broccoli and spaghetti alio oilio e pepperancino - fantastic. A cheeky prosecco to celebrate and fantastic, professional service throughout - I'll be back again soon.
D. L.
I recommend this restaurant. Great food and atmosphere also good prices. My favourite Italian restaurant. Love it!❤️
d. p.
2nd visit, not disappointed at all, excellent service, food, ambience and quick. Patient waiting staff and very courteous too
Enjoyed and waiting for next occasion to visit soon.
S.
My favourite, always fresh food and warm welcome.
Zazu is the best! Keep up the good work guys xxx
A. D.
The food was better before the pandemic. Now I had minestrone soup and pizza, but nothing extraordinary in the taste, just ok.
J. A.
Great atmosphere, excellent service and the portions are huge! But unfortunately vegans are not catered for. What a shame.
M. S.
The food was delicious but the service was very slow. The kid's pizza arrive almost 20 minutes after the rest of the food and no comp was given.
j. a.
Wonderful portions and great service. Always my favourite places to go to for food even for a takeaway.
C. L.
A bit slow to take our order, however, once taken the food was very quick to arrive. I had Tagliatelle Di broccoli it was tasty and I enjoyed it very much. My friend ordered chicken pollo which she said was good but a bit too much sauce. Anything you don't finish they offer to give you a doggie bag which is a little extra and nice.
K. D.
Excellent staff and service. Would go again. Lovely variety of chillis for the food.
M. J. D. N.
It was an amazing experience in this restaurant. The food, the service, everything was wonderful!
a. m.
Great place to go. Well worth a visit if your in watford. The pizzas are put of this world 🌎
a. w.
Very good Italien food for a good price. It's usually busy so it's recommended to reserve a table.
l.
Always receive lovely service by staff willing to seat you as soon as possible. Extremely quick with taking orders and delivering food despite how busy they are!! Food is delicious. Always want to come back!
C.
I've never been to Italy, but this place feels exactly like I would expect a 'real' Italian restaurant to feel like. It has a bustle of an atmosphere, it was packed when we went and yet the service was still timely and with a smile.
The food. Well, that was stunning, massive portions, and the taste, wow. I had garlic pizza bread to start (with a helping of my girlfriends calamari to boot!) both of which were excellent. Fluffy soft dough with just the right amount of crisp, the garlic tasted like it was infused into the dough, marvelous. The calamari was lightly battered and had the perfect 'bite' to it, not the slightest bit rubbery!
The main course of spaghetti with tomato sauce and clams was beautiful, the best i have ever eaten.
For desert we had ice cream, and it was stupidly creamy.
The house red was great, really smooth with no vinegar aftertaste that you sometimes get.
In case you hadn't noticed, I seriously enjoyed this place.
Eat here if you get chance.
A. M.
Best Italian food, good service, nice ambient
S. M.
The food we had was very tasty and service was quick and polite
S. B.
The atmosphere at the restaurant was good - it was lovely to sit outside as it was a nice evening. They have a large selection of pizza and pasta to choose from. I had the garlic bread to start which was delicious and the tagliatelle con polpette which was also tasty. The portion sizes were quite big but they were happy to package the rest of my dinner in a box to takeaway. The staff were very friendly however service was a little slow. The prices were good. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.
F. N.
Been coming here all my life and has been consistently good
G. G.
This place is amazing. Ate Gere 3 times in a week. Get their pizza for sure. Ravioli was amazing too
l. w.
Food was excellent. Staff not as friendly or attentive as they could have been
T. M.
Amazing food, Amazing Staff everyone friendly. Advise book ahead as always busy .
S. A.
Very loud I had the meatballs not as authentic Italian as would have liked not as good as previous experiences.
A. B.
L'Artista has been a quality staple of Watford High Street for years. Popped in with a friend for a very tasty pasta meal. The people are very nice too. It can get very noisy when full but the buzz is great too. Highly recommended.
R. O.
It's was very busy but we were made welcome and served quickly. The food was traditional and really generous portions! We shared a starter, pizza and dessert and all were delicious. Will return.
N. E.
Authentic Italian & always great food. We often have the Chicken Ceasar salad starter, which is pretty big & could do a main course. This time I had the Calzone, which was a great size within large bowl of marinara on the side & well filled. One of our party had the Diversa pizza, which is a cross between a Calazone & a Pizza, with a quarter fold. This was really good, too. The pasta is also very good. Recommended.

Great Italian restaurant in Watford town with great service
J. J. D. A.
Great food. Probably the best Italian restaurant in Watford (and 20miles around)
M. S.
Visited tonight for my partners birthday , party of 7.Restaurant was full and the service was very slow , waited 30 minutes to place our food order , tried to catch the attention of staff but were ignored. Eventually spoke to the manager who looked to be completing a take away order, he said that only 2 members of staff were taking orders, not sure why as there were about 6 waiters/waitresses working. Our meal eventually arrived , food was good , waited for our drink request for a glass of wine which never arrived. Did not have the patience to order any desserts so ordered the bill. If they do not have enough staff to offer a competent service and not keep customers waiting for ages then they should not take bookings for a full restaurant.
R. S.
Very Nice place, been having pizza here every evening with great service. We are from Chicago.
m. s.
Best Pizza Shop in London,🍕

L'artista has been my favourite Italian place to eat in and around Watford for more than 15 years. Great choice of fresh food, attentive staff and a lively atmosphere. You must try their tomato garlic pizza bread!
M. B.
Fantastic food, fantastic service
A. Q.
Pizza very good but the calamari not that good. Also extremely noisy
J. M. A.
A piece of Italy in the centre of Watford. The antipasto here is just awsome.... Birra Moretti on draught, pizza, calzone,... A staff team always looking after you making sure that your time over there is not a simple visit to another Italian restaurant.
A. C. w. l.
Friendly staff, nice food and reasonably priced
C. C.
Really good good food. The staff is italian so they definitely know what they are serving. They are all really nice and friendly. I am Italian so i can easily say that this place deserve to be visited
G. G.
Update: have visited again and it was ok. Had three different people ask us for our drinks order. The food was again ok, nothing memorable. I probably wouldn't go back.
Nice place for Italian but staff were having a heated argument the last time we went which was a bit disruptive.
R. B.
Quick service and good sized portions, but a little bit lacking in flavour.
m. a.
Best italian food in and around Watford...no exageration.
Tagliatele with salmon are really tasty
M. S.
Good Food , service , reasonable price
Place was busy lots of people too many tables close to each other suppose they need to earn as times have been hard
Recommend the place I went Thursday at 7:30 was 80% full
S. G.
Love this place, been going here for years. Delicious food, great service, great atmosphere and convenient parking. There's a reason it has been going for years - great family owned, authentic vibes, and probably the best Italian restaurant I've been to in the UK ❤
G. C.
Service is still very good. Love to see soup back on the set menu
M. S.
Excellent food and very good service. Normally go to their Golders Green restaurant which is equally good
A. M.
Went for a 18th birthday, booking was so easy and staff were great, went the extra mile helping with set up. Food was also amazing and reasonably priced for a top Italian restaurant. Definitely will be going again
J. S.
L'Artista Watford has lovely ambience, food is delicious with big potion sizes. They also managed to adapt and change some of the toppings and ingredients as per our requirement. Good value for money and we all liked the food.
f. g.
Fantastic food friendly staff at good prices
s. z.
Delicious Italian food!!!! Always fresh!!!! Usually very busy but they try to get you a table very soon even if you haven't booked. We go there almost every week.great for families. The only change i would recommend is a little bit of music it would be niceand some kind of a more Italian decor. But generally is great. Prices reasonable. We love it.
F. L.
Food is decent, there are better Italian restaurants in Rickmansworth in my opinion better. I had to really engage eye contact a few times with the waiters to get the manager to come and take our order. He could only do that.
Service was quick afterwards.
M. M.
This is my favourite restaurant. I have lived in Reading for 25 years but L'Artista is worth coming home to Watford for. We had a fabulous night on Saturday & its so lively & fun it reminds us all that we should be living & loving life & going out!
M. N.
Beautiful Italian food, friendly staff, a great place to take break from shopping or celebrate a special occasion.
E. M.
Great food and staff are lovey and welcoming ❤️
L. D.
Very friendly staff, great service and delicious carbonara!
N. P.
Great Italian restaurant in Watford
J. G.
The restaurant can be a niy eccentric - in an interesting way.
It's Italian
Food is consistently first rate
Friendly and helpful staff
Full range of Italian foods all made with quality fresh ingredients. You can stick to the good range of pizza,/pasta or try the meat and fish dishes
All consistently good. By consistent o mean 20 years
The secret is genuine Italians, care, and quality ingredients
K. K.
Very nice and tasty food and staff very welcoming.
R. E.
Really good food, big portions! Very quiet during the day before the evening rush
m. p.
Friendly staff and one of the best calzone I ever had in UK. I will certainly go back.
J. L.
Been coming to L’Artista for pizza in Watford for years, while many others have come and gone, this restaurant remains thanks to it’s consistent quality and lively atmosphere. If you’re looking for a quiet bite this is not the place though if you want a lively experience and bustling atmosphere with your food then you’re in for a treat!
L. K.
First time for nearly 18 months having a meal out and L'Artista didn't let us down. My son and i had a fantastic lunch today and the staff were wonderful! Will be back soon.
J. P.
Loved it, very busy, which speaks for itself , quick service, but not rushed, very good choice of food, which tastes wonderful. Thoroughly recommend giving this a go, and not expensive either
p. d.
Excellent place ,we turned up without a reservation but they fitted us in ,the food was excellent, equally the best Italian I have had,the portions are large too and not swimming in sauce ,the staff were excellent as well.The place has a great atmosphere and the prices reasonable
F. F.
Excellent food ,stuff brilliant
L. K.
Always tasty and easy dining experience.
J. F.
Amazing meal and friendly service. I wish this was nearer to my home. If it was I'd be in there everyday. Good prices and great portion sizes. I left full and very content. Thank you L' Artista.
R. R.
Very good but the WiFi doesn't work Sugar Papa
T. S.
Great alfresco dining. Super fast service. Queued for 10mins then got seated inside unfortunately it was too loud for my son, we got moved straight away with no fuss. Food was really nice and the place was buzzing with happy faces all round.
j. h.
Always fabulous food. Fun atmosphere and very friendly staff.
Z. K.
Been to the one in Golders Green and fell in love with the good food, the nice atmosphere and the friendly staff. Decided to go to the one on Watford as lockdown restrictions were easing and we were not disappointed. Although we were freezing our butts off on the patio, it was all worth it.
P. K. P.
Really delicious food. Efficient service. Energetic team. Had pizza, pasta and mussels there. Love the portion sizes. Will definitely go back again and again!
Above was my review a year ago.
Always have had good experince with this restaurant whether eat in or takeaway or delivery with Uber Eats. Today we decided to order from Uber Eats. Absolute disappointment. Pizza arrived cold and burnt. Pasta was warm but portion size has decreased significantly. It used to come in a large wide aluminium tray with paper cover. Today it came in a small plastic takeaway box. We tried the pasta and it was totally tasteless. We had to try testing our own sense of smell and taste again (thought we lost it). Had to add our own cheese and salt. Meatballs in the pasta were very overcooked. Extremely disappointed this time.
K. B.
Food was fantastic great portions. Staff were very polite. Great value for money.
G. E.
Lovely family restaurant, very popular and with very friendly staff. We had a lovely family afternoon out and we all enjoyed it.
Forgive me for making one small criticism though, I had tagliatelle with salmon but it didn't have much taste. It was as if someone had just taken plain pasta poured some cream on and thrown in some flakes of salmon. Not much flavour at all, perhaps some fish stock in the sauce or even a little garlic would've helped?
I must say, in fairness this wouldn't stop me coming back, I would just order a different meal next time.
D. T.
Delicious food😋 Definitly recommended Sea food pasta
K. M.
The food here is really delicious and fresh and the service good. However, I was very dissapointed with the lack of safe guarding in this current COVID situation. Although the staff were wearing masks, they didn't try and socially distance, the tables felt close together and not the minimum 1m apart, there was little if any one way directional floor sinage, no hand sanitizing stations, menus were not wiped down after each usage and upon payment the waitress took my credit card and handled it. I didn't feel safe to say the least. After payment a waiter came to the table and actually made us feel rushed to leave despite one of our party still having a drink and the resturant being quite. Unfortunatly all this over shadowed the nice food and I wouldn't hurry back, if at all in future

Friendly and a lovely atmosphere after such a long time if not going anywhere. Good social distancing . We were eating outside but the heavens opened . As it was a table inside had been cleaned and ready for us 👍
L. N.
Excellent experience with friendly and attentive staff and large portions for the bigger appetite. Have recommended already and will go back.

Can't believe I haven't written a review yet!! I've been here MANY times with my fiance. Was our first place we had a date at when we moved to the UK. Food is always delicious and we never wait too long. Staff are very kind. My fiance decided to propose to me here and they played a congrats song and filmed it with his phone for us! Very glad we found this place when we moved :)

My favourite italian restaurant in Watford, from an italian. Amazing customer service and the staff is very friendly. I love the atmosphere of the place, it seems like to be in Italy. Most importantly, the food is great and I definitely recommend it.
R. P.
Amazing food. Even when it’s busy staff are friendly and food is excellent!
N. P.
Ideal venue for a family get together. They don't have a specific children's menu but advised they can do half portions. The staff were friendly. It seemed popular with similar groups and so was quite loud but it was a weekend lunch time so understandable! Right near to the gade car park which worked well for us as we are not local so had to drive.
Overall, everyone enjoyed their food (and there was a lot of it), service friendly, lovely time

I have been eating here for a good many years and it never disappoints. The staff are very friendly when you arrive, and I would recommend reserving a table as it is normally busy at peak times. Many staff re floating around helping tables so you are always quickly attended to.
The food is amazing. Doesn't take a huge amount of time, even on a busy Saturday evening. It's always fresh and very delicious. And you are offered black pepper, and parmesan for pasta as soon as they place your meal down.
The atmosphere is always buzzing and busy. For some people the noise of all the people can be a little bit much, but personally I love how busy it is. The decorations are interesting as they have murals of famous people all across one wall.
Their desserts are also very delicious and the coffee is top notch.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend this place, and will continue going for many more years to come.
T. H.
Excellent delicious food and the waiters were very efficient, friendly and attentive. Our favourite go to place.
i. c.
Not so great ! Waiting time is way much more that other restaurants
A. S.
Authentic Italian (apparently ).
Seemingly Italian styled also.
One thing for sure is the customer service here is good and the meals are ok.
No reason to not give full stars for here.
Parking may be available in the citi car park behind the restaurant.
J. B.
Great food, a really nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.
r. T.
Long wait on waiting to order .food came very quickly and was amazing. A couple of things missing on order .over all very nice place staff were very polite but very over worked .long wait to get pudding and bill .
S. a. J.
Food was okay but staff a bit rude
D. T.
Nice venue. Friendly staff and the food was hot and fresh. I didn't find it amazing but I'd definitely come back here for a casual lunch or date night.
I had the carbonara. I added chicken to the meal. It was creamy and very tasty but the chicken was a bit firm. I'd order it again though.
L. H.
Delicious food and very friendly staff. Stayed until late and didn't feel pressured to leave!
S. B.
Very nice and friendly staff. Great food!
D. V.
Salad for 7£ 1 🍅 🥑 half and mozzarella is a little expensive
R.
Lovely food, felt like we were on holiday, thank you
B. D.
One of my favorite places in Watford, and definitely in the top restaurants this town has to offer. Great service. Italian owners and staff. Good value for money too. Busy dining hall with family and friends enjoying their meal . Love their green lasagna ! Lovely place that I absolutely recommend.
R. T.
Great local restaurant. Quality and value are both excellent. Been coming here since I was a kid and it never disappoints.

B. A. T. S. G.
Amazing food, great staff and outstanding service
R. B.

S. L.
Busy little Italian restaurant with friendly staff and a vibrant atmosphere. We had a nice meal that was clearly lovingly prepared and absolutely delicious - we're definitely coming back again.
And just in case you're into it, the paintings on the wall are weirdly noteworthy!
A. B.
Great restaurant!
The menu is packed with choice. The food was fresh and delicious, with such a diverse menu it surprised me.
The staff were attentive and went beyond my expectations, my glass was never empty.
I would heartily recommend if you are in Watford, you NEED to visit
S. W.
I was quite good wasn't expecting to pay the amount that I did for service
L. B.
Went on a Wednesday night. Place was busy. Despite that, service was good, food was good and good value for money. Will return and would recommend
S. O.
This is by far my favourite Italian, and their takeout is delicious. Excellent portions and really nicely done sauces. Would give 10 stars if I could.
E. J.
My friend and I had our first lunch out since covid shut everything down and I could not fault this place. The service was excellent, the food was yummy as always and we felt genuinely at ease. Thank you for a lovely afternoon! We'll be back!
A. B.
Went for a lunchtime stroll and decided to investigate this place. Glad I did. Very attentive but not over fussy staff, good atmosphere and most importantly the pizza was delicious. The chef was on hand to graciously accept the plaudits. I will return. Good luck going forward. 👍👍
P. E.
Good portions. Food Taste is average. Service Okay - not particularly friendly. Some wobbly tables outside due to uneven pavement where the tables were set causing my drinks to spill a bit on table. Gratuity charge at 10% is already added on the bill. Left feeling full but a forgettable Italian restaurant experience.Will try other Italian restaurant in the area next.
T. G.
This places smells divine if you like garlic, the food is delicious, Saturday service pizzas were a bit late 20 mins after mains. Felt covid safe.
T. H.
Came to this Italian restaurant whilst visiting Watford at a weekend. We were seated quickly and service throughout our visit was quick and friendly. We both had pizzas that were decent quality and very good (ample) portions. Overall it is a busy, family friendly venue that delivers good food for the price. Some of the other reviews seem to be wanting quiet fine dining experiences- that is not what L'Artista is.
N. W.
Best Italian restaurant I have been , mixed seafood
& tuna prawn salad starters are generous portions with nice ingredients; lobster spaghetti is nice. Staff are nice . I love seafood surrounding with nice people and will come back next week.
V. K.
Amazing food... Good ambiance 👌
A. G. U.
Very elegant and convenient place. They offer big portions and for inexpensive rates. We loved the food a lot and the staff members were very welcoming and explanatory. Highly recommended.
L. B. M.
My favorite restaurant in Watford. High quality food, big portions, good service. Extremely satisfied with this restaurant
d. s.
Good friendly staff. Went on a sat Eve and was more than happy to accommodate us without a booking. Margherita Pizza with Buffalo Mozzarella is amazing. House wine is good too. All was reasonably priced
m.
Tasty italian food in the heart of Watford
A. C. F.
Have been here a few times and have tried several different dishes now, both pasta and pizza. They were all absolutely delicious. A bit crowded and noisy, but still a great place to go. Nice place for group dinners, just be sure to book a table, as it is usually full, especially on weekends.
H. K.
Lovely pasta and pizza. The food tasted fresh and had lovely flavours. A special mention to Mia who works there, she was fantastic and served us with a massive smile constantly.
M. H.
Absolutely fantastic lunch here today , freshly cooked , delicious food , served with a smile by friendly and efficient staff
S.
A buzzing place for a Friday night and I can see why! The penne arabiatta is not for the faint hearted but addictively tasty to eat. Courgette and aubergine pasta was different but wasn’t as rich in flavour. Overall I would say very good value for money - really good size portions too
i. w.
Great food, portions not stingy at all. Friendly staff. And prices very reasonable. Indoor and outdoor eating available. Just wonderful!
R. M.
Fantastic Italian restaurant in the middle of Watford. We ate well for not very much, left happy and full. Will definitely be going back soon
K. G.
Excellent food, giant portions, great service! Definitely visiting again.
D. H.
Good food and service in Italian environment.

M. F.
Great restaurant ! Me and my better half love this place. Pizza is like in Sicily!!!! We are coming here around two times a month sometimes more often. We love this food, stuff and atmosphere. We should have loyalty card or something like this!!! 😁😁😁
S. C.
The home delivery from this restaurant is extremely good, the food is absolutely incredible. I highly recommend you give them a try. The Caesar salad in particular is breathtaking!!!!
J. B.
Had a fantastic meal here while visiting warner studios. Was 10 min walk from holiday Inn express. The food was really good quality and reasonably priced.
A. B.
Myself and my wife fly in from Canada every 6 months to visit my parents. We base ourselves in Watford and usually frequent different restaurants every night. This trip we had the fortune of visiting L’Artista the very first night and we never looked back! We went 7 times in 10 days. The food was excellent, Stan, Franco and the entire team team looked after us and all at a very reasonable price. We will see you all in September!!! (A special shout out to Stan - he was the best)
A. S.
Place was pretty packed, lots of people but staff were great as usual. Pizza was very good, but pasta was a bit overcooked
J. T.
Amazing beautiful food! It was a very nice restaurant with all the staff working as best as they could, the service was also amazing. Very very busy restaurant though.
f. k.
Great food, very busy service is brilliant.Not a place for romantic meal, family outings YES.

Authentic, rustic Italian food created with traditional Italian recipes. Food is filling and scrumptious. Staff are friendly and welcoming! They’re Tiramisu is a must 😍 Definitely worth a visit when your in Watford!
n. g.
We had an amazing time, the food was outstanding
A. D.
Lovely food and atmosphere, very relaxed and friendly staff. Would definitely come back again :)
F. A.
We absolutely LOVE this restaurant. I used to live in Watford and I used to come here very often. Now that we have moved elsewhere in West London, we are still coming here for amazing food and an authentic Italian atmosphere. There is no other better Italian restaurant in West London. I haven't found another one at least ;-)
T. B.
Very friendly staff and management, food the best its without a doubt number one restaurant in watford , food quality is amazing, definitely will visit again and again , thanks
M. M.
Been there with my family and we had a great time. Lovely staff, very tasty and amazing food (one of my family's members is a chef) and amazing atmosphere. Definetely recommend this place. Very family-friendly.
D. B.
Great food, venue & staff 🥰 just shame about VERY noisy table of 8 next to us 🤦♀️🥱🤯
J. R.
Best pizza is Watford and great lunchtime deals if you choose the right time. But it's not all about pizza, this is a good traditional Italian restaurant. They easily accomodate very large parties and just remember to tell them it's your birthday!
R. H.
Lovely run family restaurant food always fresh and succulent. Pasta dishes are large and filling. Staff are fast and efficient although it gets packed sometimes so ut may take longer to get served at those times
B. D.
Very good food. I had gluten free salad ....not a lot of gluten free options. They really celebrate birthdays if you go in for a birthday dinner. Good wine and outdoor patio for nice weather.
L. M.
Pasta and pizza both very nice, but v large portion I think a lot must go to waste. Drinks expensive, staff friendly.
P. N.
One of the best restaurants on Watford High Street. Staff always friendly and food always tasty. Good sized portions and good value for money. Garlic Tomato Pizza bread is the best starter.
S. H.
Excellent food & service. Friendly staff and a great find on our holiday. Highly recommend!
S. S.
Friendly staff, fast enough service between meals even though they are pretty busy. Staff are great with the children and the food is absolutely amazing.
If I could suggest something, I’d request kids menus, but I wouldn’t mark the restaurant down, it just means more for mum 😂😂😂
D. E. (.
Love it here large selection if food different types of pizza and of course my personal favourite ice cream! Lovely atmosphere when you are there and you are well catered for. And a proper pizza oven that you can see as you walk in. I believe they also do takeaway
L. S.
Excellent food every time. Whether its pizza, pasta or something else. Highly recommend
S. C.
Good authentic Italian food. The pizzas , parmagiana and tomato garlic bread are really. My son in-law is Italian and he likes the food especially their linguine with clams. The meat and fish dishes are good too.
f. z.
Food very good. Saturday nights are extremely busy & very noisy you cannot have a conversation. Every one sounds as though they are shouting. Service is quite rushed. Would not recommend for a quiet meal.
J. P.
Consistently great food, relaxed ambiance, great for families or large groups. Huge portions while maintaining quality - you won't go hungry, often enough to take some home. Staff very friendly.
C. W.
It was fantastic
A. G.
If you judge a restaurant by how busy it is then this place is excellent...
Service was friendly and efficient, the food (both the seafood pasta and pizza) was excellent.
Would definitely go back
P. S.
Good food nice service
N. E.
Their lunch menu is fantastic value for money. Honestly its unbelievable the quality of the food is on point. I tend to get the fried Mozzarella to start and then a pizza. Then back to the office for a nap!
Z. D.
Amazing food, amazing staff. Just finished a birthday meal for my 7 year old and met some friends. We moved away 7 years ago, but came back today and it's the best place to come. Thank you for having us!
E. M.
Excellent as always. Great food and great service and lovely atmosphere. Staff working hard to keep everyone safe in these trying times.
M. M.
A must visit place for freshly baked pizzas. The owner is very nice to talk to and makes you feel very comfortable. The food is just too good especially pizzas with chilled beer.
C. D. C. L.
Delicious authentic Italian restaurant with great service.
P. A.
Awesome food and staff!!
J. M.
Great dining experience with a great selection. Excellent price for the quality of food you receive.
A.
Awesome, best italian in Watford. Even the bottled water they use is the same as we had in Rome, which shows they're getting their produce and stock straight from Italy. Try the calamari in red sauce to start, and the seafood linguine is unreal. Truly authentic!
W. M.
Positively the best pizza I've ever eaten. No exaggeration. The staff are friendly and service was fantastic! Highly recommended!
S. P.
Have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years now and not once have I seen the food standard drop. In my opinion the best pizza in Watford by far.
A. G. U.
Would absolutely recommend trying this place. Great character, delicious dishes, awesome service. They never disappoint.
S. A.
Always buzzing, fresh quality ingredients and a classic Italian menu.
T. W.
Would've given 5☆ if based on the superb food alone. But waited ages for second starter and mains and two other tables were served before us even though they arrived and ordered after us. Spent over an hour here but most of it was spent waiting for food. Had to share one starter between two for most of our time here.
S. M.
Love love love lartista. Their pasta dishes are amazing!
C. R.
Lovely family restaurant, great tasty Italian food and excellent service. I will definitely recommend. Big thank you to Fabio for his friendly and professional service.
J. P. T.
L’artista may look like an ordinary Italian restaurant from the outside, however the food and service is are anythinf but!
I wandered in with my parents on a Saturday for lunch and was greeted by a friendly staf who leaded us to a table and left us a few minutes to think about our decisions. The waitress was obliging and helpful answering our questions with assurance.
An incredible aroma of baking pizza embraced us during the short wait. Startes came first and the tasteful plates cought our eyes. To our surprise, the taste was nothing but amazing! A bomb of flavors on the salad tricolore and bruchetta. Eager to dig in our mains, the pizza Veggie and salmon pasta lived up to exceeded our expectations. The creamy pasta with a palatable taste to salmon made my mouth water... They were quite lavish adding a bunch of salmon. Not only was huge the pizza but exquisite...
Have a go and pamper yourself! You won’t regret!
O. S.
Excellent food and great service. The food here is always fast. The staff are well mannered and the take away service is great. Shame that the delivery radius is so small
C. G.
Lovely food, big portions, great service and reasonably priced too
A. S.
Food is amazing and many dishes for vegetarians. Service is also great. Anytime I'm feeling Italian it'll be my go to restaurant. 10/10
T. F.
Very nice food and reasonable portions, professional staff and service.
L. S.
It's not a place for food connoisseurs, or people who like to eat in a cosy, quiet place. This place is noisy, the noisiest restaurant I've ever been to (and if someone has birthday, the staff make so much noise during 'Happy Birthday' song, you just can't not join in!). But I really enjoyed it every single time I visited. It's very Italian, enthusiastic, energetic and the food is ok for the price.
A. A.
Just had the most delicious meal delivered😋 was here within 30 minutes, piping hot and tasted great!!!! Will DEFINITELY be using their takeaway service again soon....thank you x
L. F.
The food was absolutely delicious, looking forward to our next visit.
L. B.
Mussels, battered prawns, deep fried mozzerela, with calamari and aubergine all consumed. All fantastic but couldnt finish the mussels as the portion was so big. Next time I will not be beaten. Sat outside which is sectioned off from passers by. Staff were friendly and left us to it.
J. D.
Amazing as always. Great staff great food couldn't ask for anything better than this
C. R.
Decent grub. Has a family-run vibe.
M. G.
Hands down the best restaurant in Watford. Consistently the best for the 20 years I have been enjoying the the fresh Italian cuisine.
K. L.
Service was very good, food was hot and delicious.hard to park though,We had one meal delivered before the rest, asked if it was going to be long ,they were very good,The manager came over offered us complimentry drinks.The rest of the food came very soon.would recomend to anyone wanting good italian food,good price and good service.
T. M.
Rang up for a pizza and chips to pick up. Told 10 mins, half an hour later it was ready and made me stand outside. Pizza was average at best chips were soggy and tasteless
S. P.
Great food at really reasonable prices, in a friendly buzzing atmosphere. I've been going to L'Artista for 20 years now and keep going back because the food is reliably good and the staff are helpful and friendly. There is an outside area to eat in when the weather is warmer.
s. w.
Noisy and basic. But it does that well. It isn't somewhere for an intimate meal but it is somewhere for quick relatively cheap grub. Still better than going to some awful chain like pizza express. Avoid the risotto which is clearly too time consuming for them to do properly.
S. G.
Amazing food great service. Would definitely recommend for you to visit this place! Don't forget to book in advance as it gets very very busy!
A. M.
Friendly service, very busy and very loud but good food at reasonable price. Child friendly.
M. O.
Classic family run Italian with delicious authentic cuisine. Excellent pizzas (tomato pizza bread is very tasty) and pastas. Reasonably priced.
D. W.
Very busy , quite a long wait , excellent service , food was superb , would highly recommend . X
E. P.
Great friendly service
Really enjoyed the pizzas
Lots of space to sit outside
I.
Food was ok, though fairly dear for what you get. I remember they used to ask you if you wanted the sauce on your meal, now they just seem to dump it on, which ruined what I had this particular time. It was also unbearably hot in the restaurant. Saying all that I would recommend it if your looking for a good atmosphere as well as good food.
P. H.
Best pizza in Watford high street. My Italian in-laws always like going there so that must say something. Not a place for a romantic meal for two but authentic Italian atmosphere.
M. K.
Hands down best Italian place in Watford. Awesome friendly service. Fair prices. Good atmosphere. Excellent
R.
Amazing food + reasonable prices. This place is almost always full of people...im not surprised lol, so you'll need to book a table if youd like to go there for a special occasion. Its probably the best italian restaurant in watford, followed by Zinco and so on. 10/10
K. L.
Has a lot of different dishes to choose from. The prices are pretty competitive. Been coming here for many years and it is nice to have the option of eating undercover or outside in the summer
J. C.
Every now & then we make a trip to L'Artisa never been disappointed tonight it was very busy but the food & staff were on form. We have been going for years on & off. Not doubt we will be back.
L. B.
I had the spicy pasta dish which was delicious, friendly atmosphere, generous portions, staff very friendly, couldn't do enough for me.. Definitely would recommend this place...😋😄
B. V.
Lovely food. Very busy especially on weekends, proving how popular it is.

Very good food. We eat here quite often but you have to get used to the noise of the other diners. Very good value for money.

Great food and friendly staff. A bit slow service

The pizza we had was nice, and the homemade tiramisu was delicious. I would recommend that to everyone. The staff is friendly, our dinner was very enjoyable.

Enrico best pizzaiolo, Zazu,Franco Fabio and all the team are impeccable.
Keep up the good work and thank you for all the delicious meals and great evening you have given us.

Food is good, avoid when busy as is very noisy, you can't have conversation without shouting.
V. L.
Good staff, great meal and full of Italian ambiance.
B. A.
Excellent service service and great food with plenty of choice, especially for vegetarians. It can get busy so plan ahead. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting watford for a taste of Italy.

Tasty food good menu choice. They do lunchtime special deals. Only negative staff were not overfriendly but would visit again.

Food was outstanding and the sevice impeccable!

Fantastic night, friendly staff, excellent food and fantastic atmosphere. Will certainly go again.

Delicious food and atmosphere, however not as good for take out as it is for dine in.
Pre covid tables were quite jam packed. Not been since Covid.
Defo worth the delicious food!!
S. M.
Great food and staff, I have never had a bad experience here.
D.
Great to be able to visit L' Artista again after lockdown, glad to say nothing changed, still great food, great service and atmosphere, friendly staff. Highly recommended
D. T.
Went in with a big group on a summer's evening, seated quickly, helpful waiting staff. Even in a large group we were all served our food at the same time meaning no one was left ogling our dishes.
J. S.
Great meal, very reasonable and always a great atmosphere! Love this place.
c. f.
lovely food but to many squashed tables together and felt uncomfortable seating and very hot being too close to other customers ,even the waiter had no room to take a order.
B. T.
The food was nice. The service was well intentioned but really really slow... The acoustics were terrible; far from full and we had to shout across our table. Disappointed.
L.
Huge portions. Excellent value for money. Food is delicious. Customer service is excellent. Highly recommend
J. M.
Great pizza, with thin base non of this think crust dominos style. Very happy with the meal both food and service.
t. s.
Delicious food and so welcoming atmosphere. 😍
R.
Reasonable pasta and very much the commercial type of pizza (nothing to write home to your Mama about). That said, it is probably the best pizza, that you get in Watford high street.
N. S.
A great place to arrange a work Christmas lunch. Located in the heart of Watford, on the main high street.
The restaurant has seating areas both indoors and outdoors with close amenities to the Sainsbury Carpark.
S.
I have been in and out of L'artista ever since I was a little. I have never been dissapointed.
The food is well cooked and the staff are polite and friendly.
It's a nice place to bring your family and friends.
If you love a good itallian then this place is for you.
s. B.
I am a vegan, so catered well for me, no trouble. Wonderful service and beautifully presented cooked food. Will not disappoint.
N. S.
The food is always amazing, friendly staff. Clean restaurant. They are happy to make any of the dishes for small children, even fussy small children

Superb service and the best pizzas I've ever had.. Highly recommended 👌🍕🍝

A buzzing atmosphere though overcrowded. Waiters kept dropping plates and glasses. A huge choice of menu. I had the lobster pasta. It was ok not enough favouring for me.
M. R.
Authentic Italian foods in Herts...
l. v.
Go here all the time! And wow they get better every time although if u don't like hussle and bussle don't choose to eat in on a Friday- Sunday as they are so busy (but the service and fastness of food is still amazing) but they do takeout if u don't like busy busy places😊
A. G. U.
My favorite place is only here

Best italian in england! A little expensive but portion sizes are massive. The food is amazing. Service is good, a little loud but like a traditional italian restaurant.

Lovely Italian food. Tastes like it's been made from scratch with proper ingredients, rather than the Italian 'chain' style restaurants.
