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.

    Had an amazing meal at Ten Prime last night for valentines day. Our server Brennan was so fun and gave the best recommendations- Sushi sand-which and banana bread pudding that did not disappoint. Cocktails were also great and photo worthy. Will definitely go back!!!

    This was my 3rd time at the George. Food and service never disappoint! Both are exceptional! It’s pricier than other restaurants I typically visit, but it is so worth it! It is super noisy (all three times I have been sat at a 2-person table in the bar area; next time I will request to sit in the dining room area). If you love live music, the bar area is a great place to be, but don’t expect to have both music and conversation; also the locals sitting at the bar area definitely use their outdoor yelling voices to be heard over the music (so if you’re into ease-dropping, this could be your place! lol). In short, the bar is great if you know you’re walking in to a music and conversation room that will limit the amount of conversation you can have at your own table. If you are looking for dinner and conversation, I would not recommend NOT being sat in the bar area.

    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!
