We had such a wonderful dining experience at Sartiano's in SoHo! The restaurant has a beautiful, sophisticated atmosphere that feels both glamorous and welcoming. We started with the Caesar salad, which was fresh, crisp, and perfectly dressed. The bucatini with Maine lobster, roasted tomato, and Calabrian chili butter was the highlight of the evening--the pasta was cooked perfectly, the lobster was tender, and the chili butter added just the right amount of heat. We also tried the potato gnocchi with San Marzano tomato, guanciale, and Pecorino Romano. The gnocchi was soft and pillowy, and the sauce was rich, comforting, and full of flavour. To finish, we ordered the chocolate-glazed tiramisù, which was absolutely incredible. It was rich and indulgent without being overly sweet--the perfect ending to our meal. From the beautiful ambiance to the delicious food and attentive service, everything made our evening feel special. Sartiano's is definitely a must-visit in New York City, and I would happily return the next time I'm in SoHo! read more

I have been here on many occasions. Pleasantly surprised that I never posted a review. The venue is very nice. The bar area is small but vibrant. The service is consistently good. Downstairs has a few nooks and crannies. Lends to a cool environment to eat and get a drink. The pastas are good the chicken is very good. Meatballs good appetizer. Steaks are popular as well. An excellent place read more

The hospitality, food, and ambiance at Sartiano's were remarkable. A special thank you to Maître D' Nzingtha, who thoughtfully made our reservation and informed the team ahead of our arrival. Although she wasn't there that evening, her care was felt from the moment we walked through the door, the staff was prepared for us and absolutely exceptional. Every encounter, from the hostess who greeted us at the door, to the hosts who seated us, to our servers, was first-class. Special credit as well to Maître d' Justen, whose hospitality and attention helped set the tone for the evening. We were seated within three minutes, and the warmth, attentiveness, and level of care continued throughout dinner. I used to frequent this location when it was Mercer Kitchen, so returning several years later to experience Sartiano's was such a treat. They have definitely upped the ante, both in hospitality and with the menu. The lasagna, branzino, and apple dessert were all delicious. After dinner, we were escorted downstairs to (Sub)mercer, which had the perfect sexy, sultry, romantic vibe to end the evening. What stood out most was the hospitality. From Nzingtha making sure the team knew we were coming, to Justen and the staff taking such wonderful care of us once we arrived, the experience felt seamless from beginning to end. That kind of thoughtful service leaves an impression. An exceptional experience from beginning to end. 15/10. read more

Lovely brunch with the ladies. We didn't make a reservation but were able to be seated inside. The host and servers were very kind. Atmosphere is chic and sound level is normal enough where we can hear each other chat. The toast was phenomenal. It had the right amount of fruit. I'm a huge cream type of person and the amount of if made me happy because that was my cheat day and it was very tasty. I love my toast with cream and I expect it to be a bit soggy as I'm finishing towards the end. read more

The restaurant is much larger than I was expecting but still manages to feel sexy and intimate. We were seated at a two top in the bar area and were at first hesitant about not being seating in the main dining room but were quickly delighted to be right where we were when we met our waiter, James. He's was literally the best. He made great food and drink recommendations and better jokes. Seriously, the food here could have been trash, wouldn't have mattered, we had such a good time! More good news, the food was not trash, it was delicious. Standout dishes were the mushroom lasagna, Caesar salad (very vinegar forward) and the arancini. Cannot recommend Sartiano's enough, but do you yourself a favor when you make your res and request to be in James' section. read more

Good food in a trendy, energetic atmosphere. We went to Sartiano's on a busy Friday evening. Started with the House-Made Focaccia (a must have!) and Caesar Salad (nicely prepared) and for entrees had the Veal Chop Parmigiana (a little pricey, but huge) and Fusilli Genovese (very good). The Tiramisu for dessert provided a very nice finish to the meal. Worth a visit. read more

Great place for people watching outside in SoHo when the weather is nice or for dinner inside. The staff is attentive and nice. My go to is the Cesar Salad (large enough for 2 people), pizza, sorbet ice cream and the cocktails. Amazing ambience and setting read more

I was with family and we weren't sure where to eat. I suggested here as I've heard good things about it. Beautiful restaurant, and I noticed the library in the back which was cute. Our server was very friendly and helpful and gave good recommendations with the menu. We shared both of the breads on the appetizer portion of the menu (the sourdough was my favorite of the two, with the most amazing whipped ricotta and sweet tomato herb topping). For my entree, I ordered the rigatoni arrabbiatta. While it was good, it wasn't really an arrabbiatta, more like a spicy cream sauce. My sister ordered this amazing corn agnolotti, which I really should have ordered too. Everyone generally loved their entrees, and dessert was incredible, especially the pistachio semifreddo, it was beautiful, and very creamy and light. I would definitely return again, there were a few other things I would like to try. read more

Had a delicious meal here! The ambiance of the place is very chic and modern and welcoming. The vibes were 100%. I can't say enough for the service. The waiter immediately caught my friends shellfish allergy in the reservation and came back to notify us that something was cooking in a seafood broth. He saved us from a potentially dangerous situation! The burrata appetizer was one of the best I've had. So colorful and flavorful! The pasta and steak were also delicious. Will definitely come back read more

Walked in for our res (kinda late) and no issues w the host, they were actually super nice. Really cool vibe - dark and moody but not like lights off and can't hear dark and moody. Sat in a corner booth and service was great! Waiter had really great timing too. We ordered the lasagna, fusilli and veal parm. Cheesecake for dessert (with a candle in it for a birthday). They're old fashioned and a beer. The drinks were yummy, they timed out our meal well. Not one bad bite! I will say it can get expensive quick. read more

Sartiano's is without a doubt the best Italian restaurant I have tried in NYC. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, they have a downstairs dining area that feels secluded and luxurious. The service was wonderful, our waitress was very attentive. The food was the standout for me, the fusilli was out of this world. The fritto misto was so fresh and the focaccia was very unique compared to others I have tried. The martini with the bump of truffle caviar was a nice touch and perfect for any savory drink lovers. I can't wait to return to this restaurant, just an absolute 10/10. read more

Sartianos is located in the Mercer. This place is absolutely classy, dimly lit and sexy! A definite place to dress up while in NYC! We had reservations on a Friday night. They were a bit behind so they lead us to the bar to get a drink before we were seated. The martinis were absolutely fabulous and had a strong kick to it. Solid first impressions before being seated. I also ordered the dirty umami which came with a side of caviar and it was a kicker for sure. I would get in trouble if I ordered another! Although we had reservations we did have to wait 20 minutes past time to be seated. The tables are a bit close with an open kitchen vibe. Service was on point and pretty attentive. We started with the focaccia bread ($12) the smooth ricotta was a delightful pairing with the meatballs ($22). We then moved onto the rigatoni ($29) which was flavorful and so good! Loved the sauce. We had the parmigiana veal $82 and this was incredibly filling but so good. The parmigiana was the perfect amount of crisp with the mozzarella. Overall, delicious food in NYC and a great date night spot! read more

Even though I walk by Sartiano's almost every day, I never realized it was a restaurant--or how big it was. The vibes were amazing. When you walk in, there's a bar area where I assume they seat walk-ins, but if you have a reservation you'll most likely be directed downstairs. The setting and ambiance were great. They also have a coat check, and even the details stood out--the soaps were Le Labo. The service was phenomenal: very attentive yet respectful, and we never felt rushed. The food was incredible. The focaccia with whipped ricotta was delightful, and to my surprise, the star of the night was the Tuscan kale salad. read more

I decided to stop in here for a quick lunch as a couple of the other restaurants I stopped in had a long lunch wait. They were able to seat me immediately as long as I didn't mind taking a table downstairs. I am so happy I did. I was able to cool off and enjoy the vibe. The restaurant is beautiful. I started off with their Zero Proof Figlia Tonic. It was refreshing after a half day of wandering around but for $18.00, it wasn't that good. Would I order that again? Probably not. For my entree, I ordered their Bucatini Cacio E Pepe and I will say, it was the best I ever had w/ the exception that the portion was small. I'd expect a little more pasta for $26.00 but note, this restaurant is attached to the Mercer hotel and we know how hotel restaurants can be a little pricer. I enjoyed my meal enough that I would come back here. I do want to try dinner here so I'll let you know how that goes when I do. All in all, a nice stop. Note: The upstairs is cute as well. I think they consider that the "cafe" portion of the restaurant. The bar downstairs is pretty and enticing as well. Downstairs there are three private bathrooms. One looks handicap accessible as it's large. There's a shared sink right outside the bathroom doors. Staff was attentive and friendly. read more

Came for a Saturday night dinner party of 5. Appetizers, meatballs were delicious, steak tartare amazing, octopus and Caesar salad were perfect. Veal parm enough for two wow super sized, Dover sole flavorful, Wagyu steak delicious. The shrimp pasta nothing special small shrimp and sauce so so. Overall a great meal. The place was dark and nice vibe. The wait service was excellent and prompt. Check it out. read more

Incredible dinner. Vibes immaculate. Had the lasagna bc I feel like most times, lasagna is rarely vegetarian friendly, and this one didn't have any meat, so that is a win! And it was a delicious lasagna. Drinks are also fab -- had to go with a classic espresso martini. Strong but got the job done. The only thing I would say is I felt rushed out. I understand that they are busy and they have reservations, but I just felt it was hard to enjoy when they are hovering and trying to clear when I'm not done. I eat slow and I want to catch up with my friend! read more

Arrival was upstairs street level at the café tad confusing, but figured out right away to go downstairs to meet the hostess. We were seated right away for our reservation wasn't too busy and wish they would've seated us in our location. That was a little less crowded there was a lot of open seating and all the tables for two or but it up so close to each other. It would've been nice to have a little bit more privacy. The gluten-free pasta with steak was absolutely fabulous. I would go back for that alone. Also, the cheesecake was gluten-free, which was so good. Service was above par waitress was delightful. I wish I remembered her name over all a very nice experience. read more

Sartiano's is expensive and flashy. The menu leans American Italian. It's also, a pretty good time. We had the steak, tartare and bread. All executed well thought I wouldn't say they were mind blowing. I don't think there's anything revolutionary done here but everything was certainly solid. Where Sartiano's succeeds is the vibe. Want to feel like you're eating at someplace fancy in SoHo? This is your place. Great people watching and great drinks, this restaurant makes for a great date spot. read more

The food is stellar as is the service . I have been frequenting this spot for a while now . Just this very last time I went , I was brought to a table I found rather small . It was prime time so it was very busy and therefore pretty loud . I asked the manager to come over and didn't have to wait long for him to arrive . He was so accommodating and a class act . He sat me upstairs away from the noise and made sure I had equally impeccable service there . Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality! read more

Great environment and service. Here for a business lunch and definitely the environment to impress. The tuna appetizer was definitely the highlight of the meal, the entrees were fine. Definitely a little pricy but you're paying for the atmosphere read more

For starters the restaurant is BEAUTIFUL! We sat at the bar while we waited for our table and I ordered an umami dirty martini that was so GOOD. It came with a spoon of truffle caviar! There wasn't a dish I didn't like but I will say the pasta was my favorite dish (unfortunately I can't remember the name and it isn't on the menu) followed by the baked clams. The branzino came in an olive sauce that made the dish very unique and delicious. For dessert I ordered the pistachio semifreddo which was perfect because it wasn't too heavy. I will say the only negative is that the staff knew it was my husband's birthday and no one sang to him or even attempted to make it special. Other than that I loved everything and I would definitely return. read more

Very sultry spot inside The Mercer. You would never guess the level of sexiness just walking by on the street. If I'm rating anything first, its the pizza. This pizza is award winning! I took an out of towner to try the famous Rubirosa's Tie Dye Pizza. The pizza from Sartiano's is better. I ordered the Calabrese pizza but my wife asked for 1/2 red onions? They made for us a 1/2 red onion pizza with 'nduja and red calabrian chili honey, its was a killer pizza. So why the four stars? Ambiance? Sultry. Sexy. Downstairs had a beautiful bar with an open kitchen. And the bathrooms?! OMG, they had Le Labo soap AND hand cream! In the mens room! Very classy touch. We each started with a glass of wine, I had a glass of Tuscan red and my wife and a nice glass of orange wine. Next, pizza and salad. The salad was a Chicory Salad with chopped pears and candied pecans. There were also delicious mild slices of Italian cheese, this was another fabulous dish. Finally the Cacio e pepe. I was just in Rome last fall and I was craving a good Cacio e pepe. The pasta comes to the table. Freshly made Bucatini with another mild cheese. Just a little light on the pepe. The pasta was cooked perfectly, It just needed a little more pepper. Overall, 4 1/2 Yelp stars, I loved our entire dining experience. read more

Ambiance is incredible, exactly what i was going for. i asked the host if they had a wait for a table for one inside, she said yes definitely 30-45 mins. my table was ready in only 5 minutes but she took me to an outside table. menu looked great not sure about the drinks. i had to ask my waiter 3 times for the one beverage i ordered and by the time it came around i was almost done with my meal. it was pretty good, though they still charged for the drink. there was a couple that sat after me and was checked on multiple times and brought their check before mine and i had asked for that twice as well. the couple even noticed how i was being served and we chatted a bit about the service and their burger order wasn't put in properly either. don't know if it was because i was solo but with high dining prices i feel like there should be high dining service. read more

The food was absolutely fabulous. We had drinks, apps, entrees, and sides. ( the ones they didn't forget to bring though) The focaccia came with smooth ricotta which looked like butter. We had the incredible meatballs which were spectacular. We also had the Ragu pasta and we had another one as well. Service was ok until our server came over in the middle saying that his shift was over then it was a little questionable with service. ( other waiter - was not at all attentive or came over) It took an extremely long time to get our wine and a side dish was completely forgotten and never showed up We didn't get dessert menus, or anything, but we then asked for the check after awhile waiting. VERY LOUD FOOD -5 Ambience 4 Service -3 ( forgot 2 of our 6 items) - (wine and side dish) We probably would give it another try since the food was good. However, for a Monday night it was crazy loud inside. read more

Really loved Sartiano's, not sure why it took me so long to get here. Everything from entering the restaurant to the food, drinks, ambiance, and service were fantastic. We truly enjoyed everything we ordered - no misses or regrets. Our server was very helpful in guiding us through the menu and helping us make decisions. There were for our us and we ordered the Caviar Cannoli, Crudo, Meatballs, Steak Tartare, Clams, Focaccia, Lasagna, Doppio, Caesar, the 10oz Waygu Zabuton, the 12oz NY Striploin, and 3 desserts. Note: I am not one to order meatballs out because 9/10 times they do not compete with homemade ones, but my goodness these were amazing. I would highly recommend Sartiano's for anyone looking for a really great meal in a beautiful restaurant. It's perfect for dates or group dinners so you can try a bunch of the menu. read more

Came here on a Monday night and had a lovely time. The inside is absolutely beautiful with dim lighting. The staff were also very attentive. We started with the foccacia which is a must get and was so fluffy and delicious. We also got the fritto misto which was perfectly crispy and the aioli sauce was delicious. For our mains we got the paccheri which was perfectly al dente and filled to perfection with ricotta. I didn't love all of the meat that comes with it separately but the pasta itself is absolutely incredible and the meatballs were great. We also got the doppi which was a ravioli and was delicious as well, though a bit of a small portion to share. We ended with the chocolate glazed tiramisu which was delicious and not too sweet at all but did not taste much of the coffee flavor. Beautiful place and would come back! read more

Sitting right in the middle of SoHo, Sartiano's is a solid spot for anyone looking to have a good experience. Sitting on the steeper side, price wise, Sartiano's is worth it for those looking for a date night out, good service, or even to conduct a business / client dinner. They serve brunch and open up at 5pm for dinner later in the day. Taste: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value for money: 2/5 We had: 1) Steak & eggs: Tasty and crispy outside with tender inside, there's no carb so you will be hungry, probably need to order a side of bread 2) Bucatini Pasta: tasty! 3) Calabrese Pizza: hot honey makes this better 4) Mimosa: solid 5) Americano: Expensive coffee 6) Green Juice (Pressed): tasted healthy as expected read more

We originally had reservations across the street, but it was so loud we couldn't even hear each other. We were meeting friends we hadn't seen in over 40 years, so we needed a quieter place. Justin immediately came to the rescue by offering us a private room at no extra charge. It completely made our evening! We felt like royalty, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating.
