The ideal location to woo a lover, or butter up your boss, Sarti is more charming than a sharp dressed man (or woman). And there are plenty of those around the place with all the staff kitted out in designer denim, devilishly handsome white shirts and spotless taupe Chuck Taylors. But what else would you expect from a restaurant that takes its name from its previous occupier, a sarti, or tailor, for those without an Italian tongue.
The modern Italian menu is on the glamorous side of pricey, with a 100-strong wine list, about fifteen available from the glass, making it more of a ‘sequined frock’ than a ‘cotton socks’ dining choice. Accessorised by top-notch service by said dishy waiters and the amazing terrace, Sarti, like a couture designer, is exquisite right down to the last detail.
