About Artigiano
Italian food is part of everyday life in Tirana, and Artigiano is one of the most popular places for it. The menu covers handmade pasta, pizza from a wood-fired oven, risotto and Italian classics in a relaxed, friendly setting, with a few Albanian touches. There are several branches, including one in a villa with a garden on Rruga Papa Gjon Pali II near Blloku, which is the most attractive in summer. It is a good choice for a family meal or a casual dinner with friends. Book at weekends.
