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 staff from beginning to end from being greeted and treated very special by the lovely manager, our sweet waitress Mel, and all staff members who cared for us during our entire dining experience were attentive and delightful! The atmosphere here is fun and has very attractive surroundings! The quality and presentation of all the food and drink were not only eye catching but extremely flavorful! We have been before and continue to have wonderful experiences each time! We shall return again and again! Great dining experience for couples, groups of friends, and families celebrating any type of special occasions!

Had a great meal here! Smelled delicious the moment we stepped in the door. We shared the Invernale salad (greens and beets! mmm!). We both had the Pork Roast meal and it was awesome! Tender, tasty pork and creamy polenta with Swiss Chard for the greens. Friendly waitstaff and a nice environment overall. Short walk to PPAC for a show after dinner.

We had an outstanding experience. Seated at a window table by the pleasant hostess. Promptly attended to by the Seth, our waiter, and presented with the menu and specials. The food choices were outstanding. Our selections were served timely and hot and did not disappoint. The bistro tenderloin melts in your mouth and the papadelle ragu is phenomenal. Save room for the brown butter cake that provides a delicious end to a great all around experience.
