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.

Always a pleasure to dine here. The staff and servers are excellent. From starters to desserts there's obviously a lot of thought and great care taken in producing perfection. Baby greens salad had plenty of blue cheese, coupled with homemade potato crisps which to my surprise combined into something very tasty. The NY Strip was outstanding! Chocolate Matcha Torte was unique and wonderful. And yes, it costs a bit more - because its worth it.

It was an exceptional meal. The Bronzini was amazing, and the service was terrific. We cannot wait to return next month. I highly recommend Sarto to anyone going downtown for dinner.

This is one of Providence's best restaurants! If you go around 6:30 it is full and usually loud so I would suggest 7:30-8pm if you can wait.

I consider this to be the best bar in Providence - the cocktails are creative in a way you don't see anywhere else, and they are always perfectly crafted. The bartenders are friendly and helpful. It is a great place for craft cocktails!
