    This tea was a great choice to complement this wonderful food.

    Service is Super, really welcoming and makes you feel at home. Strongly recommended it if you are traveling alone, specially if you are a woman. I felt pampered and really appreciated it here.

    Tenderloin with bacon wrapped broccolini and fantastic french fries
    Nik H.

    My wife and I went for the first time before a PPAC event. It is a nicely laid-out space. The tables have sufficient room around them, and the bar is large and spacious. We sat at the bar like we usually do. Our server was cheerful and pleasant and gave good suggestions for cocktails and food choices. She crafted some great cocktails. They were very innovative, and they utilized some of their house-made infusions. We started with a burrata and beet salad, which was great. The burrata was sourced locally and had a lot of flavor. My wife had the lobster ravioli as an entree. The pasta was fresh, and there was plenty of lobster, which is not usually the case. It was also topped with two scallops that were very well prepared. I had the tenderloin special. It was quite large. I estimate you got an ounce of tenderloin. It was perfectly prepared to my liking and had a fabulous sauce as an accompaniment. It was paired with some of the most crunchy and fabulously prepared french fries. I thoroughly enjoyed it and ended up taking half of it home for lunch the next day. Lastly, I think the value was pretty good for the quality you received. I would give this place a try next time you are in Providence.

    Calamari ensalata

    This place was a 10/10 NO NOTES!!! Everything from the decor, the fast and friendly service people (I even think we met the owner!) the people there went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was properly taken care of. I have the habit of asking the waiter for rec' and we decided to go with all his recommendations of the calamari ensalata, the Caico Pepe (add steak tips!) and the focaccia. Man oh man from the first bite to the last, my partner and I look back and forth at each other in agreement that we made the right decision of coming here on a Friday night at 1030pm!! Thank you again Sarto and people GO HERE!!!

    We went to SARTO for the New Year's Eve event for $320.00 (tip included...no drinks). There was a sold out crowd with a 4 course meal. Overall, the service and food was excellent. Definitely not worth the money, but it was New Year's Eve. We were expecting a little more from the Burlesque show and the DJ. The oysters were a 5/5 The pancetta wrapped scallop was a 4/5 The Zuppa De Vongole was a 5/5 The Braised Short Rib was a 5/5 The Seared Cod 2/5 (Burnt Rabe and sauce on the Cod tasted too much like tomato paste. The Salted Caramel Creme Brulee 5/5 Espresso Panna Cotta 4/5 We ordered some drinks off of the menu with dinner and they were all great wine choices with dinner. Drinks were charged separately. The staff really did a great job getting the food out and making the night enjoyable. I would definitely go back to Sarto on a regular night. They are great restaurant, just didn't meet my expectations for entertainment on New Year's Eve. I thought the event was promoted to be better than it actually was.

    I went here on Valentines day with my Fiancé, we wanted to have a special Valentine's Day as it is our first one engaged. Upon arrival we were sat right away, which I am happy about on such a busy night. Everything was delicious, they had a prefix menu, which is the only reason why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5, bc we were not made aware of this at any point and it was disappointing to find out upon getting sat, as I was excited to eat a pasta on the menu I love from there and it wasn't on the prefixed menu, unfortunately. But other wise it took us out of our comfort zone and we tried something different and it was so beyond delicious. Everything was decorated beautifully for the holiday and I loved the live singer. We had a wonderful night!

    Porchetta and pesto pasta

    We went to Sarto last night and had a wonderful experience. We found a seat right away at the bar and were greeted by Gabrielle the bartender. The service was quick and the food was delicious. If you order anything, make it be the house made focaccia. The dipping oil has a little acidity from white balsamic that made the dish really fresh. I will give a warning that the food is RICH. I ordered with my heart and had to take a few things home because it was heavy. The music in the restaurant was reminiscent of high end eateries in Italy, very low key and instrumental.

    Ragu, sacchetti, and pomodoro
    Cece L.

    I had a bite of my friend's ragu and it was so delicious, I'd say that's the one to get. I got the ricotta sachetti with butternut squash which was also pretty good, but grew a bit monotonous over time. Nice vibes with the live jazz, and good service.

    I can only walk by a restaurant on my daily hot girl walk so many times before my curiosity gets the best of me & I have to try it out. So, at long last, I tried Sarto Restaurant. Shotgun review: - Creative, moody, modern interior - High ceilings, so very echoey - Wonderful, accommodating staff* - Pretty cocktails, but not quite right** - Tasty crudo, but also not quite right*** - Gluten-free pasta alternatives & delicious ragu - Bathroom needs some TLC *From the jump, the staff was wicked friendly & accommodating. We wanted to sit at the bar, but there was a large party of folks standing around in just the right way so that there weren't two adjacent seats available. The bartender was fast as lightning, somehow getting two bar stools next to each other in just a few minutes. This bartender meant business & absolutely deserves praise & a raise. Thanks! After we ordered the crudo, another staff member came out to tell us there would be a delay on the order. No problem for us, really. We're certainly not picky like that & we weren't in a rush. But still, the sweet employee offered us bread to enjoy in the meantime. We declined, since I can't eat gluten. We suggested olives & she said, basically, "say no more!" & olives appeared in front of us within minutes. Thanks! **The cocktails were pretty to look at, but strange. I think the proportions were off on the "Absolutely Smashing Love" cocktail (mezcal, strawberry-basil shrub, lime) because it was wicked vinegar heavy. I get it, shrub, but it was definitely off. The rum punch was even stranger. A proportion disaster, I think. See my attached video & photo. It was a whole show, with an orange set aflame & nutmeg sprinkled over the fire. However, the result was about 2 oz of liquid. That CAN'T be right. It's listed on the menu as "big & tall" (figure of speech, I know) & "higher alcohol, bold flavors" but it wasn't any of those things. So 2 oz of liquid for $16 is definitely a miscalculation. We ordered it twice, for science, & the second came out just as strange as the first. ***The tuna crudo was tasty, but it was heavily seared. It was good, but a misrepresentation of crudo. All of that said, I would still come back. I think Sarto is best for a plate of pasta & a glass of wine. PS - A high life + campari CANNOT be $13. Get real.

    We have walked past this restaurant several times during our many visits to PVD. Sarto is located on the corner of Dorrance and Weybosset Streets, close to the Arcade. The interior is very well designed. A bit of brick wall, high wooden ceilings with steel girders, clean lines of natural materials softened by white fabric curtains hung between the bar and dining area softly moving in a breeze from the open door. You can see the care used intentionally creating this space. A small balcony area is located above the dining room, overlooking the bar with a large window wall overlooking Weybosset Street to brighten the space. Used as an overflow dining area on busy nights, you can reserve this space for private parties. The food is also well curated. Many ingredients are sourced from Italy making for a more authentic tasting Italian meal. Courses are sized appropriately to the Italian way of dining. Enough to satisfy while leaving room for the courses to follow. Don't worry, you will *not* leave hungry! Most items are a fusion of Italian and American ingredients while adhering to the intent of the original Italian recipe. IMHO. I chose Sachetti from the Pasta menu. These are small 'bags' of pasta, stuffed with cheese and served in a squash puree. Think of a ravioli type pasta, but in the shape of a tiny drawstring bag. This was an excellent dish for me. The pasta is well cooked retaining it's integrity, making it possible to cut the sachetti in half and it holds it's shape. The sauce includes bits of apple, almonds and butternut squash. My dining companion chose the Pasta Al Pomodore. There is a gentle spiciness to this tomato sauce. Very appealing. The Tagliatelle is cooked a perfect al dente. Toothsome without leaving any 'raw' pasta in the middle. Needless to say, we both devoured our selections. This menu offers plenty of items I would definitely return to try. Scallops, Puttanesca, Ribeye, Panzanella. The broccolini on the antipasto menu looks good as does the Formaggio selection. Desserts include a local Gelato and three types of cake. The bar offers a large wine by the bottle menu, listed by type (red/white/dessert) and location (Italian Region/Domestic). Also available are a variety of Grappa, Amari and Cordials. Beginning to end you can start with Aperitivo and go through all the courses to dessert including the appropriate accompanying wine or liquor if you so choose. Or are hungry enough. The staff were all very friendly and professional. The food was well prepared, the recipes well crafted. I am very glad we stopped in to Sarto and look forward to our next visit.

    The food is excellent! I was visiting for a work trip and went twice that week! I had the Scallop dish and oxtail ragu. Both were unbelievable delicious! I also told some friends to go after work. The service was great for a solo visit or for a group. The ambiance was very nice for dinner, soft dim lighting. I will be back!

    My girlfriends and I had been seeing a lot of Instagram action spotlighting Sarto so we figured why not?! We started with the ricotta toast and were a little underwhelmed but still tasty. An assortment of cocktails and entrees were chosen and enjoyed. I especially enjoyed my Porchetta it was chefs kisses. So crispy. I want to come back and try the 30 day aged ribeye. I'm glad Sarto didn't fall flat like a lot of places plastered all over Instagram.

    Carbonara fries
    Ingrid H.

    Sarto elevates Italian cuisine and bridges comfort food with culinary expertise. Both pasta dishes were absolute showstoppers: the smoked mushroom cacio e pepe reimagined a classic with depth and complexity, while the ragu di coda di bue demonstrated traditional technique with modern finesse. The restaurant's intimate atmosphere made for a perfect date night destination.

    Scallops and mussels
    Angel S.

    Nice cozy atmosphere for a night out with good service. I had highs and a low with what I ordered; the highs being the carbonara fries, the mussels, and the blue hibiscus tea drink but my scallop entree was a fail. The scallops were good but the dish was not well rounded at all, it came over shaved brussel sprouts. This entree could have given more.

My friend knows much more about wine than I do, so he was the decision maker for our wine choices and we ordered a 1/2 bottle of red which we both found to be very delicious. Of course, we had to try some food too and the small bites menu was perfect with something to satisfy nearly every taste. We opted for the meat charcuterie, and it was beautifully presented with enough for the two of us to share. There is also a cheese charcuterie on the menu, but unfortunately there is not an option for a combined meat and cheese plate. We sat, sipped, and tasted for a while and never felt rushed. The atmosphere was so comfortable and we'll definitely consider going back here again.

    I didn't have the best time at Providence Wine Bar…read more This might sound a little haughty, but hear me out: I can drink wine at home. I can browse a liquor store & pick out a bottle that exactly fits my preferences, my mood, & my budget. I can bring it home & uncork the wine, checking the cork for freshness. I can pull out my special glassware & pour myself a glass of wine & enjoy it on my own couch. So why go out to a wine bar, if not for the wine? For me, it's for the ambience & the experience. Both of those things at Providence Wine Bar were lacking. The lights were too bright (overhead & fluorescent) & the music was too loud (& just bad). The employees seemed both bored & nervous, with not much to do to occupy themselves. I was one of the only people in the bar, so I felt like I was under scrutiny - I'm certain this wasn't intentional but it was unfortunately how it came across. I brought a book but couldn't focus because of the lights & the music. I even caught myself with my fingers in my ears, trying to muffle the sounds of 2010s hyper pop. I have nothing against 2010s hyperpop, it's just that there's a time & place for everything, & maybe that isn't at a wine bar at 8 PM on a Wednesday. I just wanted to be done with my glass of wine so that I could leave. All of that being said, I wish them the best. It seems like they need a good manager's touch.

We were a party of three, but it could have been a party of six with all the food we ordered. We had the first reservation at 5 PM. We parked on the street, but you can park in the lot and they will validate your parking for you. The service was a 5/5 and the ambiance can be casual or fine dining. The lighting is perfect for a romantic night out and the view of the Providence River right over your shoulder. We made our own board: Umbriaco di Raboso "Drunken Cow" - amazing cheese, very high quality, sharp, not over powering. Definitely get it! Provolone - sharp very good quality provolone cheese Proscuitto di San Daniele - sliced very thin, soft and flavorful. I was very pleased with the portion size and the flavor. A must have! Spicy Olives - assorted olives with a spicy olive oil. All of the olives were fantastic and there definitely was a good kick from the spice. They threw in the pickles, jams, nuts and honey, all were fantastic. I really liked the blueberry jam. The warm tapas came out at all different times. Fried Bolognese olives - Although these were unique and delicious, I would skip these next time. The Bolognese is just a pinch on the inside of the olive. It would be a game changer if there was a side of Bolognese sauce to dip them in instead. Eggplant - Definitely a must order. Super simple sauce packed with flavor and the buffalo mozzarella is to die for. The pork belly is also a must order. Tons of flavor and not a lot of fat, which surprised me. It was a good sized portion too. Now of the the pizza...we ordered Pizza Salumi. Very thin dough, wood fired for the flavor and the crisp. There is a good amount of sauce, which can make the crust floppy, but it's so worth it! The flavor of the sauce is so good. All fresh and top quality ingredients. The soppressata was perfect, taking this pizza to the next the level. It was cut super thin, as it should, and gave the pizza the flavor a margarita is missing. It would be tough not to order this next time. So just as we should have been walking out of the door because we were so full, we had the duck and the wood fired NY strip to split among the three of us. The duck - The duck dish came with the two legs so it was the dark meat with crispy skin. The duck was flavorful, moist, tender, and had some sort of apple based sauce to accompany it. The mashed potatoes were great and the Gorgonzola chunks were a treat, especially while sipping the sangiovese/cab red wine blend that we ordered for the table. The NY Strip was my favorite. The steak was tender and came with the flavor from that wood fired grill. The sauce was so good that I dipped every piece in it, trying to reserve some for the mashed potatoes. I ordered the steak medium rare + and it came out just how I wanted it. We ordered the lemon tart for my mom's birthday dessert. I would skip the dessert next time, but I always skip dessert. My mother loved it...very fresh and vibrant. I would have to say that Bacaro is my favorite RI restaurant, especially for a special night out. It is also a perfect spot to go and grab a snack or two with friends after work with a drink. It is affordable as you want and can find high end alternatives as well. The bottle of wine was $48 and you couldn't have asked for a better pairing with all of the food. We also ordered an after dinner cocktail, called the Call to Italy...very refreshing for a digestive type cocktail.

We took a walk around the Westminster for a bit until the place was open. We were sat down right away. Inside is cozy with dim lights and open kitchen and some tables. They have few outside seating available as well. We started with some appetizer raw fish and combo as well as kohlrabi Caesar. We got black bass and a seasonal fish with combo that included lightly roasted oysters, shrimp and squid. All seafood was directly sourced from local port and fresh. Seafood appetizer was delicious. The caesar was interesting. I've never had kohlrabi but it reminded me of radish and it was tasty. Personally i would have preferred little less salt and olive oil so that flavor of the raw ingredient stand out more but was not too bad. My entree was the seafood risotto. Flavorful risotto with some seafood on top. Was a bit messy to eat because of the shells but was flavorful. The crab and shellfish itself was small and a bit underwhelming but the rice was rich and full of fish flavor. My mother had the cacio e Pepe which was good but she said that nothing comparable to one she had in Rome. I was not a huge fan of the thicker pasta but that's just is personal preference. Service was excellent but the table was a bit small and tight as we were very close to the next table and can hear what others are talking about so not a very privately setting. Overall i did like the place. Food and service were good. But it was not anything exceeding expectation and there were few things that detracted from our experience such as heavy seasonings, small dining space and etc... The price is quite expensive for the amount of food they serve as well. I think it's a good place for special occasions.

I loved the Jacobean cocktail, so we both got this smooth scotch cocktail...Melissa made the drink with an expertise that few have and while she was making them, we engaged in conversation with Marc, the beverage manager. Both were very engaging and very friendly, making the visit very relaxed and enjoyable....we also got some steakhouse sliders that were outstanding...the meat was just slightly medium, keeping all the moistness and flavor.... Overall a great place for a drink and/or light bites...... The ambiance is inviting and cozy and the patio outside is great for those nice warm Rhode Island evenings....

    This was our second visit, this time with another couple experiencing it for the first time. The…read moretasting menu was beautifully presented and flavorful, served at a relaxed and comfortable pace, with excellent service throughout. In addition to the four tasting menus, two of us chose the chef's wine pairing and two opted for the non-alcoholic pairing (after cocktails, which they do very well). We also added two Wagyu supplements, caviar for one, and a cheese course. While everything else was strong, we both felt the Wagyu supplements ($65 each) were underwhelming, and although the non-alcoholic pairings were creative and tasty, they didn't always complement the dishes as well as we had hoped. That said, this restaurant is highly recommended. Rhode Island truly needs a high-end tasting menu destination like this, and it's absolutely worth a visit. And very reasonably priced compared to NYC and Boston.

The service is 5 stars. Literally you are care for at all times as soon as you take a sit. Take in account that this restaurant its a pre-fix menu and you pay ahead of time. We enjoy a kings meal. The ambiance is soft as well as the lighting. Our meal for that day it was delicious. What can I say, you need to try and tell me about it. Note: parking is on the street. I recommend PPAC surroundings. Best choice. Enjoy

    Aurelia is more than a place to have dinner. Its an experience…read more Its a perfectly orchestrated ensemble of food, ambiance, knowledge, and passion. Food. They use only the best seasonal ingredients. Ambiance. What can beat a view of Narragansett Bay watching the sail boats go by? Knowledge. Have a wine tasting with Carl and he will amaze you with the level of knowledge about the ingredients and the wines that are being served. Im pretty sure he spends countless hours studying the wines, the region where it comes from, and how it harmonizes with the food you are about to eat. Carls usually our waiter but everyone here is excellent. Passion. Its the main ingredient that binds everything together. The workers here are passionate about hospitality. They are all there to make sure you have the absolute best experience possible and it shows. From the valet, to the hostess, to the waiters and waitresses they always bring their A game. Its 2026. There's many things I'm not sure in this life. But one thing I am sure of is that when I walk through the doors of Castle Hill (Aurelia) I'm going to have an amazing meal and more importantly an amazing experience. Patron to this amazing establishment for 11 years and counting!
