Artesano

The 12 Best Peruvian Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Artesano could serve their food at a scenier restaurant. It’s exemplary Peruvian fare, served on small plates and styled like it's in a downtown lookbook. Instead, this Tribeca restaurant is laid-back and kind of cheesy, and we like it that way. There’s a canopy of faux tropical leaves and rattan lamps, and sometimes lively folk music to set the tone for a low-key date night. At the same time, servers are in button-downs, and the food is definitely upscale, with upscale prices. Try the aji de gallina or branzino in Amazonia curry—a rare find in the city—and of course, order plenty of pisco sours." - neha talreja, willa moore, carlo mantuano
