When we arrived they were VERY busy but they managed to get us a table in about 5 minutes. The food was tasty and filling, and their desserts were out of this world! read more

When's the worst time to suddenly decide you want to go out for dinner? I'm not sure but I think 9:30 pm on a Monday night has to be a strong contender, at least in Glasgow. So maybe it was ill advised that this was the exact time I chose to drag my other half to Sarti but I think I got away with it. The staff didn't seem to mind at all that we'd showed up so late and without a reservation. We were welcomed, seated and our drinks orders were taken (I was gently guided away from an inferior bottle of wine to a nicer one for the same price, which is always a nice touch). I ordered a mixed wild mushroom pizza while my partner went for the spaghetti bolognese and everything was absolutely delicious, fresh and perfectly prepared. I love a good mushroom pizza and this is one of the better ones I've tried in Glasgow. We briefly considered dessert but, being the last people in the restaurant this time, decided it would be better to save it for a time when we were more organised. We paid the bill and were invited to a small glass of limoncello with the staff before we left. My partner normally hates the stuff (although he likes lemons) but actually enjoyed this one, so there's another minor victory. I've visited Sarti before but with a large group and found everything to be great on that occasion too but it was quite a long time ago. It's good to know that they're still doing everything right. We'll be back soon and hopefully at a more reasonable time. read more

Sarti, on Bath Street, has been restored to its former glory after being acquired from a bank several years ago. The main dining room in here has marble tables, wood panelled walls and Murano glass chandeliers. Despite this, the ambience is quite relaxed and the wait staff make you feel at home. The moderate peicing and good atmosphere in here made it ideal for my friend Kate's 22nd birthday meal in June. I had minestrone for my starter. It was yum and very rustic-looking. For my main I settled on classic Spaghetti Carbonara. Yes, it's messy, but it was simply made and a lovely comfort meal for the rainy day. The portions were absolutely massive though, and I dont think any of us managed to clear our plates. The dessert cabinet looked amazing. My tastebuds said yes, but my swollen belly won over in the end, saying no. A safe bet for a nice meal in the city centre. read more

Sarti - Taken by Liz - Italian Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

I handed over the reigns of "chief restaurant recommender' to my friend on Friday when we were looking for somewhere for lunch. All I knew was that I felt like pasta, and somewhere I hadn't been before. She suggested Sarti, and told me that she visits frequently with her family and that the staff were super friendly. And there was wine (the most important part!). I had a sneaky look on Yelp just to make sure it was going to be ok (not that I don't trust her!) and in we headed. I was pleasantly surprised with how warm and atmospheric the restaurant was - lots of dark timber and shelves packed with supplies gave this a traditional Italian feel. We were seated and looked after by a really lovely waiter who was attentive without being pushy. I went for Gnocchi alla Sorrentine (£11.90) with cherry tomatoes, oregano, tomato sauce, baked with mozzarella. This was just what I wanted - the gnocchi was fluffy and cooked perfectly and overall the dish was filling and tasty - like a big hug. My friend went for the Penna alla Gorgonzola (£8.90) and I stole some off her plate. This was a definite WOW dish but due to it being creamy and cheesy, I'm not entirely sure I could eat a whole plate of it. I believe Sarti do half serves of pasta so I would get this next time with a tomato based pasta for a good balance. We finished our meals and sat back to relax and chat. We never felt rushed or like the staff wanted us to leave, and we were able to stay for about another hour before it was time to go. The only criticism I have is the TVs in the restaurant area which I found incredibly distracting (gymnastics was on!). read more

Sarti - Gnocchi alla Sorrentine £11.90 - Italian Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

I revisited Sarti a few weeks ago for the first time in so long, it had been that long that I actually forgot what to expect. It's quite a homely little cosy reataurant. Not usually my type of place but I liked it on this occasion! We went in for an early evening meal at around 6:30pm and got seated within about 30 seconds which was great. There was a decent selection of authentic Italian dishes, lots being more exciting options than the usual pizza/pasta (such as fish and chicken dishes). The staff were super quick and came over almost straight away to ask what we wanted, the people I was with decided so I just made a random decision quickly. Was a pretty boring one of meat ravioli with ragu, but however 'boring' a decision that was it was still perfectly lovely. It was a huge plate full and super filling. I ate about half and was still stuffed! The sauce had a nice tomato/garlic/herb flavour but nothing too strong. I did enjoy this dish! We also got a flat bread type thing to share. Was meant to be rosemary/garlic but in my opinion it just tasted like bread so I didn't eat much of it. It was okay though just nothing special. All in all, the food was tasty and the staff were really quick and attentive. It was a reasonable pric for the size of the dishes as well, came to around £35-£38 for 3 of us + drinks + a side. Not bad! read more

This is a lovely setting, though it can feel slightly daunting at first. This is most likely down to the large marble tables, marble flooring, impressive counter/bar at the back and the quietness of the surroundings. However, the friendly and attentive staff soon make you feel welcome - even if the temperature doesn't (it was rather on the cold side when we ate here). The food is cooked to perfection and while the portions don't look like much to start with you quickly find your belly filling up. As a shellfish lover, I would totally recommend the mussels well as any pasta dish going! Meanwhile, they have a full selection of good wine that is - perhaps - slightly more expensive than it should be. I would however give coffee a miss as the finished product does seem to wildly depend on which member of staff makes it. read more

Literally THE worst service EVER! Walked in and was seated in a wobbly ass table. After asking to move we moved to another table and the manager came over and said hello and broke a wine glass and got glass everywhere so then we had to relocate to yet ANOTHER table! After looking over the menu we were ready to order and no one came to even get a drink order in first. The place lacks customer service and the waiters and hosts are shit! Never again! read more

I really love a visit to Sarti which is a complete Glaswegian institution. As other reviews have mentioned, stunning marble detail and carved wood. Very family friendly with small people well catered to. Hearty Italian portions. Gluten free catered for with bread, pasta and pizza available. Can't comment on dessert as I've never had space. Good value set lunches available - I think about £12 for 2 courses. I'm usually here for lunch whilst seeing the family. My favourite dish is the mixed seafood stew - garlicky, packed with mussels, prawns, squid and other fish. Loads of seafood and again, very filling. So, great value for money, lovely service and hearty, tasty food and well worth a visit. Beware, toilets downstairs like many Glasgow places and stairs a bit steep so a bit of a killer after thighs day at the gym... read more

I looked at the reviews on line and even got an okay from my hotel down the street but Scots don't know Italian food. The food was over seasoned with the wrong aromatic spices and was totally flavorless vis-a-vis the correct flavors. How can a good Italian place screw up lasagna?? The wine list has no vintage reference and the staff didn't know where to find the date on the bottle. Nuf' said. read more

I am a great lover of italian food, and i have to say that this is one of the most authentic and tasty restaurants in the city! Great for breakfast coffee, quick or relaxed lunch or even a late night romantic meal. The restaurant is decorated with marble and traditional features of the building still lingre- creatin a ornate, yet cosmopolitan feel. Suitable for children and parties. Wide ranging menu with pastas, rissotos, pizzas, meats and salads- can be expensive, but no more so than any other simmilar city eatary. Both the pastas and pizzas are very good. Wine and spirit selection is also very good. Very close to the City centre- george square and theatre land. read more

This is a nice Italian located on the junction of West George Street and Renfield Street. The building is very ornate inside with beautiful cornicing and marble features which add to the dining experience -I think it may previously have been a bank. It seems brighter and airier inside than some of the other Sarti brances. There is a good menu offering a selection of pastas and risottos but my favourite is the pizzas. They also have a good wine list with a good selection of Italian reds, whites and dessert wines. I've knocked a star off as the prices can be a little expensive but there are usually special offers on for pre-theatre etc. read more

This is the only branch of the small family chain I have eaten at and always had a good meal. I am particularly fond of the rosemary foccacia bread as a starter. Very tasty! It's on the expensive side but has a cheerful ambiance and good food, so I go there when I'm feeling flush. Fratelli sarti's is a bit off the beaten track away from the shopping hoards, but despite this is almost always busy, though I never fail to get a table. The restaurant is located in an old bank building with lots of historic woodwork, marble and chandeliers. Looks the part! The desserts all piled up in the chiller cabinet look divine, but alas I'm always too full to try them out. Would definitely recommend, though I would like to note that the stairs to the loos looks like it could do with a deep clean and repaint. read more

My first impression of Fratelli Sarti were good, it seemed individual and quite cute really with all the bits and bobs all over the walls. Unfortunately, the atomosphere was lacking. I think where we were sitting in the larger area the lighting was quite stark. Softer lighting in a nice little resteraunt always works for me. The food was ok but nothing spectacular really. I had the cannelloni which was quite nice! A good, standard selection of pasta's, pizzas etc on the menu. As a student my comment on prices probably isn't too helpful to most. I found it was a bit pricey in both the food and drink. All in all, it seems fine for a more casual dinner I was definitely over-dressed and for that it seems ok! K x read more

Was with a big group after a conference and the taxi driver recommended Sarti to us. Although it was after 9pm they were able to accomodate us. The owner gave us special attention and brought out some great antipasto and bread to start. We ordered a number of wines for the table which the staff kept flowing. The dinners came out hot and delicious and everyone was highly satisfied. Definitely a great find in Glasgow. read more

A beautiful busy family run Italian restaurant. The menu has a good choice and the service is really good. The quality of food is of a high standard and the atmosphere is fantastic. Definitely recommended! read more

Quaint establishment. Good variety including gluten free options. Excellent espresso, obviously.

Been here once and definitely won't be going back again. The food was average at best, the staff were nice enough but the food took a very long time and the atmosphere inside the place was horrible. read more

Outrageously good Italian restaurant! Easily the best in Glasgow. Menu is great, fantastic wine selection, friendly staff and a sort of authentic venue in that it's not commercialised. read more

Went to the one on Bath Street - Can't complain at all, great food and good service. Reasonably priced food but wine can be rather dear (from £17 for the house)! Pints of beer are also around £4.20-£5. read more

Fantastic!!! Visiting from the US (ALABAMA) and did not have a clue where to go eat, we tried YELP. But, everywhere we went this Saturday night was packed. We barely slipped into this place and had to sit at the bar since we had not made reservations. I had the lasagne and my wife had the Angel Hair Pasta Olio. With the wine and the Tiramisu Profiteroles, the evening could not have been better. Great!!!! read more

Excellent food and a varied menu. From the bruschetta to the pasta and the heavenly desserts, everything was excellent. A nice setting and very friendly staff as well. Wish I lived closer, as I would be a frequent guest. read more
