Where Mediterranean Flavors Come to Life

Our Story
At Artigiano, Tirana’s beloved restaurant, we believe that cuisine is an art form, a celebration of authenticity, tradition, and togetherness.
Since opening our doors in 2013 in the heart of Tirana, our mission has been simple: to bring the true flavors of the Mediterranean table while creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere where every guest feels at home.
Our journey began with a passion for time-honored culinary traditions and handcrafted recipes. Each ingredient is carefully chosen from our homemade bread baked fresh in a wood-fired oven to our cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil handpicked from ancient olive groves. Every dish is prepared with meticulous attention to detail, balancing flavors with care.
Today, Artigiano is more than just an Italian restaurant, it has become a landmark of Tirana’s culinary identity and one of the must visit restaurants in Tirana, where locals feel at home, and visitors discover the city’s vibrant spirit through genuine flavors.
Whether joining us for a casual lunch, a romantic dinner, or a gathering with friends, we invite you to savor the moment, feel at home, and enjoy the warmth of our hospitality.

Great restaurant with delicious food. Started with appetizers which were very good, then had the chicken dish for main course. Everything was tasty and well presented.
The staff was professional and friendly. Nice atmosphere for dining with friends or family. Portions were good size and fair pricing for the quality. Would recommend to others.
