About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
  • Charming
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 entire experience was delightful start to finish. We went here for our four year anniversary on whim when our first choice wasn’t available. Now this is our first choice. The waiter was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make it a special night. The food was some of the best I’ve had at a restaurant. The burrata, broccolini starter, gnocchi, and tenderloin were all delicious, well prepared, and balanced dishes. The brown butter cake with pistachio gelato and cappuccino were a perfect end to the dinner. We also enjoyed the open kitchen and being able to watch a great team at work.

    Food and service was excellent. We started with Focaccia bread which was a perfect balance of taste and texture…springy, light and perfect crispy crust but not overdone. The pasta and sauces were perfect and one of party thought the pork chops were tender. We finished with the cheesecake which is paired with a Lemon whipped cream and fresh fruit. Lastly, the staff is very attentive without feeling their presence. I highly recommend Sarto and will come back when visiting Providence.
