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.

    How can you go wrong in a classic restaurant that has been around for more than 100 years?? You can't. On top of an extensive menu of delicious apps and entrees, there were several specials to pick from as well. Choices, choices, choices!! My wife and I both picked an app from the menu and also entrees from the menu. Lamb Chops to die for and a Veal Parm that was so tender if almost cut with just a fork. Portions were enormous as well. Perfectly prepared. Great selection of wine to go with our dinner. a great holiday dinner with my wife thanks to the crew at Camille's. Thankss

    First time coming here and we were very impressed. The food was delicious, service was amazing, and atmosphere was awesome. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. The hardest part of our night was pronouncing the names of each dish! They were extremely accommodating as I indicated this was a special reservation for my anniversary. We will be going back again and requesting Gabrielle, who was fantastic.
