It is with great pride and gratitude that we share this significant milestone: Artigiano restaurant has been honored with the prestigious TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award for 2025. This distinguished recognition, awarded based on authentic reviews and ratings from travelers worldwide, reflects our continued commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences that resonate with both local and international guests.
What the Travelers’ Choice Award Means
What makes this recognition particularly meaningful is that it comes directly from our guests. The Travelers’ Choice Award is based entirely on the reviews and experiences shared by the people who dine with us. It reflects the authentic moments and genuine connections that happen around our tables every day.
This award recognizes restaurants that have created consistently memorable experiences for their guests throughout the year. When we learned that Artigiano had been selected, we were truly honored to be included among such distinguished company worldwide.

Located in Tirana’s vibrant Blloku district on Papa Gjon Pali II street, Artigiano offers more than just a meal. From the moment you step through our doors, every element has been carefully designed to create an experience that guests remember long after they leave.
-
Quality in Every Detail – Beyond our signature dishes, we take pride in sourcing premium and local meats, featuring fresh seafood from the Adriatic coast, and creating vibrant salads that showcase seasonal ingredients. Our homemade desserts provide the perfect finale to any dining experience, each one crafted in-house with care and attention.
-
An Atmosphere Worth Savoring – Our scenic alfresco terrace provides the perfect setting for dining, offering guests a relaxed outdoor experience. Inside, our award-winning interior design from 2025 showcases a masterful blend of vintage charm with contemporary sophistication. The space creates an ambiance that feels both elegant and welcoming, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or enjoying a casual evening out.
-
A Culinary Bridge Between Two Traditions – What truly sets Artigiano apart is our commitment to honoring both Italian and Albanian culinary heritage. Our menu tells a story of two cultures, each dish prepared with respect for tradition and an eye for quality.
- Italian Classics Reimagined – Our homemade pasta is crafted daily using time-honored techniques, while our wood-fired pizza delivers the authentic flavors that have made Italian cuisine beloved worldwide. Each dish represents our dedication to Italian culinary excellence.
- Albanian Heritage on Every Plate – Equally important to our identity are the traditional Albanian dishes that connect us to our roots. Our byrek arrives perfectly golden and flaky, our qofte are seasoned with the aromatic blend that defines Albanian home cooking, and our tave dheu offers the hearty, comforting flavors that have been passed down through generations.
