• Contemporary Italian • Providence

SUNDAY BRUNCH BEGINNING MARCH 31, 2024!At Sarto, we believe that poring over the details is always worth it; and that the joys of a meal go far beyond the food itself. In keeping with Italy’s authentic, old-world traditions, we’ve approached our menu in much the same way an Italian chef opening a restaurant here in America might ── with dishes composed of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, that honor our region in a modern way.Prepared from an open concept kitchen, our menu features modern Italian fare made with the freshest local ingredients Rhode Island has to offer, complimented by award – winning wines and a carefully curated cocktail program.Sarto is located just moments from local performing arts and convention centers in the historic Teste brownstone building. Originally built in 1860, our restaurant was once home to an apothecary, a money-to-loan business and later the Philip Wolfe Haberdasher, which inspired the name Sarto or tailor in Italian.

    We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with nothing but kindness and a high level of professionalism. We appreciated the owner walking around making sure everyone was enjoying their experience at the restaurant. This has been by far the best experience we’ve had eating out. Their food was superb, the drinks were perfection, the dessert was the cherry on top. We will be visiting again soon.

    Descending down the stairs into this warm, cozy nook of rustic wood and rough-hewn stone, I reflected there was no place I’d rather be on a cool, drizzly, and foggy night. Greeted by “Bonsoir”, it literally felt like we’d arrived in Paris. Bread and salad are included with all the entrees (increasingly rare these days), and the food was very French and very delicious. It was topped off by the best crème brûlée I’ve ever had.

    Out meal was FANTASTIC! I was able to order a 1/2 portion Caesar salad. It was huge and the best O ever had. There were diced bits of parmesean cheese in it. My Penne Pesto ala Vodka with chicken sausage was ENORMOUS! I took home 2/3 of my entree. The prices are more than reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant.
