• Contemporary Italian • Providence

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.

    We went to dinner prior to an event at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC), which is about 6 blocks away. The food is phenomenal, not over priced for what you get. We had the Veal Parmesan and the Pasta Bolognese, both which were fabulous! The drinks from the bar were terrific - ice cold martini's. They have valet parking, and a coat check room. They also have a limo service to take you to and from PPAC for the show. What a wonderful experience!

    We were seated in the upstairs dining area. It was quiet and warm on a cold night outside and was perfect for conversation. It was Restaurant Week and they offered 3 course dinner options. The choices were all excellent. We chose the Scallops and the Halibut entrees and they both were great! Our waitress was very attentive, but still allowed us time for enjoying our meals and conversation. All in all a perfect meal in a great restaurant!
