Classic Italian Plates in a Warm Greenwich Village Room
Sit down to burrata, house pastas, and seafood at a longtime Italian spot off lower Fifth Avenue in the Village.
🍝 Off Lower Fifth
Arté has run on East 9th Street for more than three decades, a warm Italian room a few steps off lower Fifth Avenue. The dining room glows under soft light, white cloths cover close set tables, and a stone relief and framed prints line the walls.
The kitchen leans classic. Burrata arrives over cured beef, house pastas come dressed simply, and seafood plates finish with an orchid flourish. Weeknights stay calm enough for conversation while weekends fill with regulars and NYU neighbors, which sets the tempo. Reviewers rate it 4.4 across 268 visits.
It suits a slow dinner, a date, or a quiet catch up, and it sits between University Place and lower Fifth in Greenwich Village.
