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.

An inviting craft cocktail bar and restaurant offering classics, originals, inspired & familiar flavors. We sip, we savor, and we share.The inspiration for Needle and Thread came from the history of the space located at 45 Peck St. in Downtown Providence. For more than half a century Antonio Conte dutifully served the professionals in the city's center, with an old world style haberdashery, providing suits, outerwear and evening attire. For more than 2 years Needle and Thread was constructed piece by piece with the same attention to detail and love as Mr. Conte poured into every garment he constructed.

There is no doubt Cafe Novo is the crown jewel of Providence resturants. Dinning there never disappoints and in fact shines as bright on the 50th visit as the 1st. Exceptional quality food, service and atmosphere. 5 Stars still shine at Cafe Nuovo!

My wife and I dined at Sarto last night for the first time and it was excellent. We were greeted warmly by the manager and our server Mel gave us some great recommendations on the menu. The food and drinks were fantastic and really made for a memorable night. Great vibe and comfortable atmosphere. We will certainly be back!
