Artesano is the best Peruvian restaurant I've ever been to-- but specifically, just because of Regina. I came here with 5 people and we all adored her. The lomo saltato was phenomenal and perfectly cooked, and it was all because of Regina's recommendation that I tried it. She was so professional and always ready with recommendations or support! Definitely will be coming back with my friends. We hope to get her again!

My family and I came here months ago and we still talk about our experience. We came early before the dinner rush with our baby in a stroller and while it’s not exactly practical, the staff made us feel so comfortable. Since the restaurant was still a bit empty, they moved us to a corner where we wouldn’t be disturbed and even shifted some chairs just for our sleeping baby to be parked comfortably. Beyond the lovely atmosphere, the food experience was top notch. Every dish was explained fully to us when bought to the table. The presentations were beautiful and you can see the passion the chefs have for their craft. The bartenders were just as passionate about their work and the drink presentations were incredible!<br><br>We’d been debating on dessert that night, but our baby had woken up before we got the chance to order. Seeing that we were scrambling to leave, they treated us to a lovely little palette cleanser dessert at the end, on the house. It was incredibly kind and I cannot express that enough.<br><br>Looking forward to making a reservation for my husband’s birthday this weekend! It was the first restaurant that came to mind when we spoke about weekend plans! A hidden gem in NYC, truly.
