"You might know about Artusi’s deal of two pastas and a bottle of wine for $40 flat. You can get that on Sundays and Mondays, but even if you pop in on a Wednesday, you can still count on having an exciting mix-and-match meal of Italian snacks and hot bowls of carbs. Don’t you dare skip the fried risotto balls, and try to get a seat at the counter, where you can watch the cooks swirl cavatelli around in their pans." - Aimee Rizzo
