About this restaurant

Good for special occasions

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.

Great dining experience! We loved the atmosphere, it was open and very relaxed. The food was delicious. The service was perfect. We were seated right away at a nice table by the window. The wait staff was pleasant, personable and attentive. We especially enjoyed Seth our primary server and Phoebe, the manager, who was elegant and charming. Phoebe also offered up some amazing suggestions for our meal which were spot on. We are definitely recommending Sarto to friends and we will be returning very soon.

We had an amazing experience celebrating my loved one’s birthday at Sarto! The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and accommodating. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere made the night even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate. Highly recommend Sarto for any occasion!
