Lartista Ristorante in Luton

Had a lovely Birthday meal on 19th April lovely food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Even had Happy Birthday sang to me ! Would recommend and we will be back. Maggie and David xx

Great dining experience. Very welcoming owner Artan. Our favourite dishes are fish, veal T-bone steak and panna cotta.

Oh what an experience! A small restaurant, but took care of us extremely well. Amazing food, very delicious. Definitely a big recommendation to anyone in the area and looking for some good food options.

Great lunch venue for business meeting, able to talk in privacy while treating client to an excellent meal, all at very good value.

Truly amazing dinning experience! I have eaten in many of Luton’s restaurants but Lartista Restorante is in a league of its own. The owner took our order personally and gave his recommendations. The food was absolutely incredible and the staff were lovely. Great atmosphere and wonderful artwork. I highly recommend this restaurant. We can’t wait to go back.

First time we had visited for lunch…lovely smiling faces from staff as usual, food was excellent exactly the same as evening dinner and as it was my husbands birthday they brought out their homemade panecotta with a candle such a wonderful gesture, my husband was delighted, thank you everyone at Lartista see you all soon 🤩

I knew about his place for a while, but was very sceptical about location and how the place wasn't looking much like restaurant. But Never judge book by it's cover. Finally decided to give it a shot and go there on Valentine's day for dinner. They had set menu for Valentine's with few nice choices. We had very nice evening and food was great. Staff and owner/chef were very friendly and welcoming 🙂 Thank you for lovely evening.

Great experience Cheerful staff Good service Top quality food The meatballs were soft, and the sauce was really delicious. Steak nicely cooked. No complaints here.

Great food, attentive staff, perfect range of drinks , lovely relaxed atmosphere. My favourite place to go out and not just in Luton.

Great food, beautifully presented,friendly staff. Would recommend a visit! We had the daily special of scallops along with pork loins and seabass

All good here, nice food, great staff. I will definitely be coming back.

This was a great restaurant experience. The chef owner came to the table to discuss the nights specials on offer. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. The prices were so reasonable.

Lovely food and very friendly staff. Will definitely be back soon

One of Luton's finest restaurants. Family run with a personal touch

This charming family-run restaurant offers a warm atmosphere. The staff is exceptionally pleasant and friendly, providing amazing food. Their assistance in recommending dishes based on dietary preferences is a plus. Our time with friends was truly enjoyable, and we would gladly visit again.

Went Christmas Day 2023. Amazing meal of steak and lamb. Lovely atmosphere and thus restaurant has become one of our favourites. We' ll be back!!! Thank you to Artan an amazing chef!!!

Everyone was so lovely and went the extra mile to make my proposal so special. The food was amazing - the best peppercorn sauce and steak I’ve ever tasted! We will definitely be coming back here.

Been lucky enough to visit twice over the past few weeks and the food has been incredible on both occasions. The staff are so warm and friendly and the atmosphere is fabulous! Lovely to have such a gorgeous, family run gem on our doorstep!

Fantastiska vieta kur atpūsties un baudīt burvīgas vakariņas vai pusdienas! Kā arī labākā expresso kafija Anglijā! Noteikti iesaku!

This restaurant is the most flawless place I have ever been to and compliment to the chef big time.

The best restaurant in Luton The the services was spot on . The filet steak was incredible delicious Really thx you so much for fantastic dinner last night

The food and service spot on And fantastic atmosphere Thx you so much for fantastic dinner last night

Wonderful family run Italian restaurant. Very warm welcome and friendly staff. Great food, good atmosphere and a keen price. A little gem hidden away. It's a must try!

Our first visit to this restaurant under new management. It was a really nice experience. The staff and the owner were really lovely. Will definitely visit again. Nice to have a new venue in our town as missing good places to eat.

I am from london and came here before catching a flight from Luton Airport . This is one of the best restaurants I ve been to. Just divine. And the service so great and the staff so friendly.

Child friendly, vibrant atmosphere that brought us memories from Italy. Food is great quality and authentic

Enjoyed my first visit there. The food was very good and staff were attentive and courteous.

I went there with my mum to celebrate her birthday and the whole experience was absolutely lovely! The service, the staff and the food were all impeccable! We will definitely be coming back

One of the best Italians I’ve had in a long time! Perfection. 👌

Went there for a celebratory meal. The service, food, and atmosphere were excellent.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant and having a wonderful meal. Italian food at it's very best. The menu offers a wide range of starters and main meals. Specials were also available on the night we dined there, all served by the friendly and attentive staff who all made us feel very welcome.

Best place in BEDFORDSHIRE!!! Greatest steak of my life! Great atmosphere, excellent food Would and will recommend to everybody!!!

I been eaten many italian food in my life but this one was closest to proper italian food in luton ! Restaurant is so cozy and chief is talented, kindly men ! We definitely gonna visit this place more. Ach and limoncello and steak was the best <3

Artan & his gorgeous daughter made an extremely pleasurable dinning experience, the divine seafood in this restaurant at an affordable price made a night to remember in luton

What a gem of a find we found in Luton. The starters of the scallops were a highlight, the burrata and king prawns were delicious. Followed by the vodka pasta and lobster ravioli.. yum! We met the chef Artan and his lovely daughter who made our evening so enjoyable. What a delightful evening to spend in Luton.

Davvero, davvero buono! I'm tipically skeptical about Italian restaurants abroad, but this time I have to recognise it was a very pleasant experience! Everything great, from the food to the staff efficiency and kindness. And the Chef is super ;)

Lovely Italian restaurant best in the area wonderful food from Artan the chef and owner great service and atmosphere. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic simple accurate cooking delivered without fuss and at a reasonable price, By far and away the best restaurant we've visited in Luton.

We took a party of friends (18 of us) for our wedding breakfast at the weekend. Everyone agreed the food and service were fabulous. We agreed a menu with Edmondo and gave him our choices in advance, except for the 4 extra guests who came on the day! Thanks for giving us a wonderful evening.

This was our second visit with the current owner but we’ve been eating at this restaurant for years. Artan gives the restaurant a whole new lease of life. Beautiful food, extremely welcoming and takes time to come and chat at the end of the evening. We very much enjoyed our visit, the food and his company. Also exciting to hear his ideas for the future.

Excellent fresh cooked food, friendly staff and the chef is incredible. Even comes out to check if food is ok. Many restaurants claim to be Italian but this is the real deal!

Simple the best " italian " restaurant in Luton. Just hope one day they can add halal meat in their menu. I really wish the best for this restaurant.

Chose here totally based on trip adviser reviews, we were in Luton for a graduation and wanted somewhere to eat afterwards and so glad we chose here. Owner was very flexible on time as we were not sure when we would be finished. The welcome...

Good place to have authentic pasta. We just had some starters and pasta. Friendly chef who lived in Italy. They served fantastic desserts. Good place to come back to.

This restaurant is a little gem. The ambiance is great where dinners often talk to each other like a typical Italian Tratoria back in Italy. It is so friendly but the main event is the great food. Artan, the Chef, is the owner and he...

This little restaurant was amazing. The fish was the best I have tasted. Very friendly staff and food all very very good.

Fantastic restaurant and brilliant service. We were a large party of 10 and the food was served at the same time and piping hot. The service was amazing as was the food. Our first visit since it's changed hands and we will definitely be back....

Lovely restaurant with excellent food and service. Fresh oysters and scallops were to die for. Very friendly owner. Highly recommend this place.

Brilliant highly recommended! Beautiful food, great service and fantastic atmosphere. Definitely returning.

Lovely evening, delightful front of house staff, small but good wine list and excellent food. Will recommend and return!

We have dined at Basile quite a few times and always leave happy, the food is five star, the service very friendly and attentive and the restaurant has a lovely ambience too!

1st time round we went for lunch to scope the place out... 2 starters and 2 desserts.... all great so decided to go for dinner a week later. Really wasn't disappointed at all.. foods fantastic... cocktails too.... and the owner is very friendly and welcoming. Literally couldn't ask for more... fair play. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Stopped in Luton prior to flying out of the airport. Meal was fantastic. I had a mushroom and prawn starter with a steak for main. Service was excellent. Good knowledge of the wine on the menu. Presentation was excellent. Overall would go again. Nice intimate dining experience for dates or formal enough for business. Host was excellent.

Small n cute restaurant. Table reservations is a must as the place is not very big. Great food and wine.

Best Italian restaurant in Luton good food reasonable price good host

We went for our first visit last night after the refurbishment many months back. The restaurant has had a major revamp from its former incarnation (Villa Ada). It has a lovely, clean, fresh decor and beautiful art work. The table is laid with fresh linens...

Fisrt time at Basile for lunch with my niece. I wanted some seafood linguine but it wasnt on the menu. They checked with the kitchen and said they could do it. Someone went to the market to get fresh seafood whilst we were having a...

Lovely people and great food. Enjoyed every minute and mouthful. Wine was excellent as well. Would recommend and will be back soon!

Wonderfully cooked food from a menu that isn’t over complicated. I had a starter of fried calamari which was perfectly cooked, aromatic and tasty. All of our menu choices were cooked to perfection and the wine choices are very good. Service was excellent: attentive, helpful...

We went for lunch on Tuesday I had Mussels and my husband had Calamari ,both were delicious. We then both had Veal .Excellent. We had wine and water . It isn’t cheap but quality is very good . Linen tablecloths and Napkins all very nice.

First night in Luton as recently relocated for new job. Found here online and can confirm all the previous reviews are……. More than well founded⭐️ Great food and service, food was amazing. Host was very polite and attentive. Small but beautiful setting ✔️ Will be...

Nice place for real Italian food served by an Italian owner! All dishes look and taste great. We had a good experience, although it was not to crowded on Wednesday evening. I can recommend this place to everybody

Had a lovely meal tonight. We have eaten here a few times and the food is always amazing, and the staff are lovely. Great restaurant, amazing high quality food.

Love the food amazing customer service Francesco and john was so friendly

We tried Basile for first time having seen it advertised on Facebook We had a lovely starters calamari and grilled peppers goats cheese which was lovely followed by cod Loin and chicken supreme which was super tasty - place is busy and service is friendly and efficient

Thankyou for lovely evening . Will be back very soon with 14 friends x

At the locatyion of the old Villa Ada, Basiles is a worthy successor. We had a warm welcome and delicious meal - highly recommended

La comida y el camarera es increíble. Excelente trato con la cliente la y comida exquisita. Lo recomiendo a 100 por 100. El mejor restaurante indio de la zona.

Amazing tasty food and great ambiance. Quite enjoyed the time there. Definitely will recommend it to my friends. Would like to go again.

First time since new owners. We found it very friendly. The sounds of people at ease and enjoying themselves. The food was very good ...compliments to the chef. Look forwards to the next time.

That sauce of Gamberoni 😋😋😋😋is *****y licking taste from the chef

Food was out of this world. The service was fantastic. Catered to large groups as well as small as there was a large birthday party there when we were there. Recommend booking. The best Italian food I've tasted to date.

מסעדה נפלאה, אוכל מצויין, שווה כל פאונד! הזמנו ריזוטו פירות ים שהיה עם רוטב אלוהי. מנה נדיבה ויפה, טעימה ונהדרת, מומלץ! בנוסף רצינו לאכול מן הטירמיסו אך לא נשאר ואכלנו קינוח מרנג עם לימון לצד קפה איטלקי, ללקק את האצבעות. במידה ואתם בלוטון לא כדאי לפספס!

Very nice plac, food is delicious. Customer service first class and that homemade vine. All perfect. Keep doing like that it's a good way. Fully recommended.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food. Absolute gem. Come and eat here!!

Absolutely incredible experience at Basile, highly recommend! Divine starter, main and desert bursting with flavour and lovely presentation. Exceptional service with a personal feel. Best 3 course lunch I have had in a while. A hidden gem. We can’t wait to come back for more!

The staff, warm and welcoming, to me the food was michelin star quality, the decor amazing coducive to a lovely lovely experience, on the left lobster ravioli on the right ricotta ravioli. The panacotta for dessert was amazing

Just had a lovely lunch at Basile, great host, beautifully prepared and well presented food, and very tastefully decorated dining room, will definitely return.

The food was amazing definitely we are going back, also the guy attending us was really nice and helpful when we were indecisive. And most important, they had Tiramisu, flawless.

This was our first visits since it had been taken over by Francesco. The place looked very fresh and very inviting. We was made to feel very welcome from the minute we walk in the place The food was excellent all freshly prepared and cooked...

Had a really lovely time here on Saturday night- made very welcome and the food was excellent. Side vegetables cooked beautifully, all mains we chose were great. House wine 👍🏻. Will definitely return.

Beautifully cooked fresh food, full of flavour. service was excellent and free bread was tasty. Will definitely go again

Very enjoyable evening.. Really good food, attentive service...would recommend definitely..

Beautiful food, great service would definitely go back

Impromptu lunch before going to cinema, great food and friendly team.

Not sure why this restaurant has all 5* reviews as we were left disappointed. “Artisan” bread basket was toasted sliced hovis-type bread with packets of Flora. The “Burrata” starter was a hard ball of low-quality mozzarella. Lobster ravioli wasn’t homemade or fresh as specified, the filling was a paste. Carbonara is untraditional and made with cream. A couple of the dishes were mixed up too. The food was presented nicely and the staff were very friendly but unfortunately the food is not authentic Italian and is overpriced for what it is. Perfectly fine meal, but it is not advertised correctly. I hope this feedback is constructive as a nice Italian restaurant in the area would be great!

Basile’s goes from strength to strength. We have visited since Francisco took over and Villa Ada became Basile’s, in my opinion it is better now than ever. The decor is simpler and more modern with new, very attractive, pictures decorating the walls. Artem the chef...

Great food and excellent service for a large group of 25 people.

This was our first time going to Basile And it was amazing 👏🏻. The staff couldn't do enough for us .I would 100% recommend Basile to everyone . ⭐️

Lovely restaurant love the food great service and very friendly it has a lovely atmosphere. Food is well presented and delicious. Staff is prompt and friendly good wine selection. All round well run and professional restaurant in my opinion should be number one in Tripadvisor...

great food, and excellent staff in nice surroundings
