Artie was the only character who actually kept any old Italian traditions alive, beautiful ending to a great character arc

[@atc5777]

that and chris keeping the tradition of getting killed by a soprano, just like his dad

[@gerard4039]

What tradition !!! Only tradition we know about Italy is colonialism and mafia !!!! 🫣🫣🫣

[@neilgerace355]

Most of the other characters were so far removed from the old country it was funny to watch.

Yes, tbh this is one of my favorite scenes in the series.

[@girlcrazyrockstar]

The way Artie tries to make the old tape on the cover stick and then he feels the the texture of the old paper smiling, if there was a fire in the restaurant he's definitely saving that book.

Artie, the only positive Italian stereotype in the show

[@sanjayraju988]

It’s not exactly the word I’d use

[@mooremiket]

The fact that this is Artie’s final scene is so brilliant. Almost brings you to tears. Perfection.

[@mskatonic2124]

It still gets to me in 2023.

[@slydEvil35]

This isn’t his last scene. His last scene is later in the show when tony and Carmella are pretending to be happy to meadow and Patrick getting engaged. This is Arties renaissance. He stops pretending to be a tough guy and rediscovers his passion: cooking. Once he fully re-commits he understands just how lucky he is to with a woman like Charmaine and gets his life back on track. Artie will never have Tony’s money and once he makes peace with that he really evolves as a character

[@aliderking1]

​@@slydEvil35 True

[@bartolomeestebanmurillo4459]

Artie is one of the few characters that had a happy ending in such a grim show. He leads a normal but honorable life, he has a beautiful wife and he's found his calling all over again. His job is in the kitchen, he's a chef through and through.

[@connorgrossman7867]

Love this want to be a chef myself love Artie the compassion and confidence love bucco 🥂🥂🥂

[@Coco-zu9ob]

And Charmaine bitching until the end.

[@A-FrameWedge]

And hitting on every hostess in his restaurant.

[@thegadflygang5381]

He is the viewer, the everyman. It is like if your normal guy was surrounded by whores, killers, goons and scum. And how he would navigate it

[@aegonbreakspear9102]

Happy Ending? As soon as Tony dies, Benny takes Artie to the warehouse and drives nails slowly into his balls.

[@Julian-jd5yj]

The smile when he's looking through his old composition notebook touches that part of us that we tend to lose. When everything mattered, when our actions held weight in our hearts, or at least when it all meant something to us. Most characters got pretty poor endings, but not Artie.

[@thejudderman8265]

I think it’s his fathers or grandfathers recipe book? Angelo Bucco on the front page.

[@redsol3629]

They still do stranger, they always will.

[@chupacabra3331]

My mom has this old, small Betty Crocker cookbook with hearts and arrows with me and my little brothers names, she doodled them on there when we were just babies. Every time I see it, gets me a bit emotional. It’s definitely more than nostalgia, just pure love.

[@drewpowers7236]

At the 30 second mark when Artie looks at the couple through the door window...he makes the decision to do a good deed for some strangers and cook them a meal. The man's business is in peril, he's been there all day wearing a cast with his beaten face...and he chooses to do something good and selfless. You see Charmaine smile and look at him with pride for making the right call. It's a super small and quick moment but it's all the difference in who Artie is. Artie wins in the end for the everyman and I give the credit to John Ventimiglia for making such a great character you can't help but root for

[@randomguy-xp7se]

Tony had gotten through to him after she failed. She also told him to cut the chatter. He rebuffed her Tony reminded him about the storm night and he rebuffed him too. He even wasnt gonna take his advice then he said get back in the kitchen and cook thatd be a start. And in this scene it all clicked, and he finally did right. He saw the couple in exepriencing trouble like Tony did during the storm and he came through for another customer in a very nice moment. A nice end for Artie. Charmagne definitely does give him a tender look at 0:35. I never noticed. Shes usually nagging him. You rarely see her smile.

[@fuckingstupidhandles]

i'm not impressed, he didn't even slice the garlic so thin that it liquefied in the pan with just a little oil

[@jimmymeridian5174]

This episode and especially this scene was what made Artie my favorite character in the show. It's just so beautiful, after so much pain and humiliation, Artie remembers the real reason he owned a restaurant, and his old passion was reignited.

[@kaveman1021]

The small things make this scene what it is.

[@jamie.777]

The worn down old composition notebook 📓 😢 with his grandfather's recipes.

[@TheRealTurkFebruary]

Artie may be the most inspirational character. Grew up around the mob, but chose the family business instead. Was never short on balls when it came to standing up to his friends’ shady behavior. Always willing to lend a hand to his friends and their families. He definitely had some blind spots when it came to lust and staying true to his marriage, but he worked through those better than most imperfect men would or probably could. In the end, he was rewarded with a rich life, a wonderful business, and a loving family/community. It’s so easy to romanticize the mob and bring all the attention to the exciting mafioso tropes. God bless David Chase for writing in a character as wonderful as Artie and making him a cornerstone of the entire series.

[@joesantonocito6751]

Did anyone notice David chase sitting across the 2 hit men absolutely amazing....

[@conormartin3476]

Even better when you take into account that his “character” is from Italy, since he’s the guy that Snubs Paulie in Italy when he says “Commandatore” or whatever the Italian thing is lol

[@RepellentJeff]

Honestly, the moment where he rolls the tape back on the recipe book is one of my favorite little details in this scene.

[@rhys3922]

Love this scene, it just lets you know that everything is gonna be alright for Artie.

[@twiss9341]

Leaving the credits in the video was actually a nice touch. It was the final scene of an episode. So may as well keep the credits in, acknowledging the show makers. Good form 👍👍

[@adreon]

Thanks. The main idea starting of this channel was sharing clips wiith their credits, because I believe an ending scene without its credits is not complete. They carry the meaning, emotions and maybe even continue the story.

[@izzyis-real]

@@adreon especially with the outro music , like in his coma dreams, can really go a long way to set the tone

[@user-og2wt3le4j]

The best part was seeing Artie use his grandfather's old world recipe book with all the knowledge of Sicilian cooking.

[@PoweredByAudio]

The only character to return to his roots after “going off the reservation” Awesome scene

[@francescotamburini5790]

The least realistic part of all this is that rabbit takes around two hours to properly cook. It’s not a steak. Artie’s gonna keep that couple hungry way past midnight.

[@buca9696]

I guess Patsy and Pauly Benny was the only mobsters left that attended his resturant after everyone else was wacked in Season 6

[@khawajth]

The episode where Christopher gets shot and comes out of a coma actually indicated that Paulie would die too, probably off camera. When Christopher woke up from his coma, he said he got a message for both Tony AND Paulie. The message was "3 o'clock" ie how the shooter was at Tony's 3 o'clock when he got killed. The same message was for Paulie so I assume he died soon after

[@grantfurr580]

@@khawajth Paulie may have been killed by New York after Tony

[@red2977]

@@grantfurr580 I don't think so I think him and Patsy conspired with NY to have Tony killed. Paulie was in position to take over but he may have let patsy take the top spot. Chance are they are basically puppet rulers under the thumb of one of the NY families. The family the sopranos is based on basically imploded and one of the NY families moved in and took over their rackets in NJ, so it would be somewhat consistent with the way things really ended up.
