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 server- extremely knowledgeable and supportive with perfect attentiveness. Food was very good- portions were a bit small for the price- but delicious. We sat upstairs which had excellent ambiance. There were a few groups of patrons downstairs and they were very loud and the noise did carry to the upstairs impacting our ability to have nice conversation. Fully recommend this restaurant

    We arrived 15 minutes late for our reservation due to traffic. Our server went out of his way to make sure we still made the 7:30 show at PPAC. Sarto is our favorite restaurant in Providence!

    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.
