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.

    The clam chowder was the best I have tasted. The veal milanese was terrific - just the way it would taste in Rome

    Excellent evening tonight celebrating The Splendor of Florence at Osteria Toscana hosted by Armando Bisceglia and two visiting chefs from Italy. The pop up venue was warm and inviting and proved to be a perfect backdrop for the delectable food that is being offered during this special event. We began with pasta and bean soup that was a throwback to having a warm, comforting bowl of soup as a child in an Italian household. Then I selected the fettuccine bolognese-which is the Best I have ever had. I simply did not want to finish the dish because side I was enjoying each forkful so much. Richard had the gnocchi-each one was a pillow of tenderness nestled in a truffle cream sauce that melted in your mouth. Our entrees of eggplant parmigiana and osso bucco were hearty and delicious and proved to be two perfect rustic Tuscan selections. At the end of this epic meal we had cookies with a dessert wine. Everything tied together seamlessly and we truly had The Splendor of Florence experience💖. Let’s not forget the Wine Window-such an authentic touch! We loved getting our wine and toasting to this fantastic evening.

    We've eaten our way around most of the menu and the food is consistently delicious. The staff are kind and cheerful. The ambiance is light and elegant. This is not a gyro shop - the portions are European which makes the prices commensurate with the high quality. I'd love to keep Fili to ourselves (it's in our neighborhood), they deserve to get their due: Highly Recommended.
