On the first floor of the Observatory building (the aptly named), this is the only restaurant to offer, from its large shaded terrace open to the four winds, an unobstructed view of Port Louis Bay and the harbour. In the breeze or in the room, in the calm, you can taste a well executed Italian cuisine based on fresh products: antipasti to share, fresh homemade pasta, pizzas (ah this Pollo and Tartufo!) and a selection of dishes like over there, including vegan and/or gluten-free plates. And you can bring me a little Limoncello with the Tiramisu!

Disappointment begins with the service: in spite of adequate staff numbers, the waiters always appear in a rush and not entirely focused on their work. There is barely any smile or greeting and they are not attentive to patrons, it is very difficult to get their attention.
I went there because L'Artista advertised a special offer for pizzas which appeared promising. It all fell flat when my pizza arrived and had no balsamic vinegar whatsoever - even though the advertised pictures of "Balsamic Mushroom and Goat Cheese Pizza" clearly showed balsamic vinegar to be drizzled atop the pizza slices. Such was my disbelief that I had to ask the waiters if they had not perhaps mixed up my order.
The cooks were way too liberal with their use of goat cheese, making the pizza very liquid and near impossible to eat. Only the crust felt crispy, while the base and everything else felt soggy.
For the price paid, definitely not worth going back.
But the worst the employees were so rude
