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.

A different menu, but a nice change to the pallet. Cramped seating and noisy. Not a place to go for quiet meal and conversation

The food was excellent. A definite go to again! We shared two meals, the oxtail Ragu was outstanding and the porchetta was delicious I wish I didn't have to give half of it away. The only minor issue I ha was the swiss chard had a touch too much vinegar but I understand using the acid to cut throught the fatty richness of the prochetta. It was just a touch too much for me. The brown butter cake was also quite delicious with the candied pistachios a nice complement. When I go back it might be tough for me to pick different meals but there are so many great things on the menu.

Took the family for my wife's birthday. It is a very lively atmosphere, but not too loud for conversation. Service stays on point and they clearly want to make sure that you leave satisfied. We'll be going back! BTW... parking garage next door handles Sarto's valet parking. I missed this and ended up paying for parking at a nearby lot.

The grilled calamari was extremely delicious & very creative. Love it! Our others dishes, the seared Halibut & the pasta with the mussels were delicious as well & the perfect portions. Our waiter was very friendly, attentive & was nice enough to offer samples of two red wines he recommended that were similar to Pinot Noir which wasn’t on the menu. We enjoyed one of the recommended red wines. We were very impressed with the manager greeting us after we finished our dishes & was kind enough to offer us free dessert. We had a great experience & will definitely return to enjoy the live Jazz they have on Saturday nights.
