L'Artusi | West Village’s Coastal Italian Dream 🍝🌊

Forget heavy red-sauce joints—L’Artusi in the West Village is where fresh seafood, al dente pasta, and Southern Italian soul collide. Here’s why it’s the spot for light-but-luxurious dining: 🍽️ Standout Dishes 🐙 Grilled Octopus • Crispy tentacles + dual sauces (green herb + smoky red) = texture symphony. 🥔 Crispy Potatoes (Sleeper Hit!) • Spiced like magic + whipped cream dip = addictive AF. 🍝 Garlic Spaghetti • No gloppy butter—just toasted garlic, chili flakes, and real noodle flavor. 🦀 Squid Ink Crab Pasta • Tomatoes + seaweed crumbs = Amalfi Coast vibes (ugly-delicious). Hot Take: That "wait, is this actually NYC?" seafood freshness? Rare. 🍷 Vibes & Tips ✅ Counter seats = open kitchen theater (book early!). ✅ Wine list = obsessive (sommelier-approved picks). ⚠️ Skip dessert (save room for Gelateria next door). Q: Team Octopus or Team Crab Pasta? #WestVillageEats #ItalianSeafood #NYCPasta
