Sarto Restaurant

This was our first time dining here, we stopped in before we caught a show at PPAC. The space is beautiful modern, warm, and energetic without feeling overwhelming. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, and attentive without hovering. The food was great. We started with the focaccia bread, then i had the smoke mushroom cacio e pepe with steak tips on top. The restaurant itself was very nice inside and offered plenty of seating. And a nice terrace seating option is available for the summer months. If your in the downtown area, and looking to try something new, swing by Sarto and check this place out. Its worth the stop.

We've visited this restaurant three times, and each experience has been truly remarkable, particularly for the exceptional service and the outstanding flavor profile of their food. The ambiance is delightful, and the staff are attentive and friendly

This is probably some of the best Italian food I’ve had in Providence (yes, including most of Federal Hill). Very close to authentic Italian pasta -the smoked mushroom cacio e pepe was *to die for*. The service and ambiance were also amazing. 10/10, definitely recommend for a a great meal, date night, birthday, etc.

First night in town — chose this spot as it was close to our hotel up the block and was an excellent choice! The staff were super friendly and accommodating to our needs — we were sitting at a high table but the seats were uncomfortable so we were able to relocate to a normal table; I had the Seared Scallops which were mouth-watering to the taste buds — just wish it had more scallops and clams though! Overall, great choice for some unique dishes and flavors — just a bit over-priced

Let's start off with the good aspects...live jazz, good atmosphere and service was good. Now let's talk about the bad. The food. Really bad, especially for the cost. The branzino main sat under the heat lamp for way too long, was overcooked and had no flavor. We replaced it with the gnocchi with added chicken, but the chicken was not cooked fresh for the meal. It was a rotisserie chicken cooked previously and shredded. The gnocchi and arrabbiata sauce were good. Our starters were disappointing and not convinced the calamari (which was very chewy) was cooked in the restaurant at any point in the evening. I saw a bag ripped open and poured into the salad. We were excited by reviews and loved the jazz music but sadly won't be going back.
