Nestled in the heart of SoHo at The Mercer, Sartiano’s combines Italian heritage and fare with a modern fine dining experience.
Sartiano’s was created by prominent lifestyle architect, Scott Sartiano, with culinary direction from three-time James Beard award winner Chef Alfred Portale.

I went here with my family for the first time, and overall we had a great experience. We started by sharing a salad, and even though I am not a big fan of salads, I ended up loving it because everything tasted very fresh and flavorful. I then ordered the gnocchi, which was very filling but tasty. My brother and dad shared a veal parm that was definitely more than enough for two people! I tried some and thought it was the best veal parm I’ve ever had. For dessert, we split the tiramisu, which was presented beautifully, with an elegant look on the plate. It tasted very different from the ones I had in Italy and was just okay, definitely not the best I’ve had. The service was decent, our waitress was really nice throughout most of the dinner. However, toward the end, she disappeared for a little while. The atmosphere was upbeat and lively, with festive holiday decorations and a bustling bar scene that made it a fun place for a family dinner.

When in New York, an Italian dinner is a must. We discovered Sartiano through several online foodies and decided to give it a try—and it did not disappoint. Located on the corner of Prince Street, it’s such a charming spot. Upon arrival, the dim lighting immediately set the mood. We headed downstairs, checked in, and handed over our coats. The coat check attendant was very kind, as were all of the servers.
Appetizer: Steak Tartare
The steak tartare itself was flavorful and well-seasoned; however, we weren’t fans of the bread it was served with. Some pieces were slightly burnt, and when mixed with the tartare, it threw off the overall taste.
Entrées: Lasagna & Paccheri
Both pasta dishes were absolutely amazing. The lasagna, with its rich truffle sauce, was incredibly comforting, and the paccheri with tender short rib was packed with flavor. By the end, I was completely full and satisfied.
As mentioned, the service was excellent from start to finish. We truly enjoyed our experience, and if we find ourselves in SoHo again, we would definitely stop by.

Such an amazing experience! The ambiance, decor, vibe all were super cool.. trendy, fun, yet classy. The food is amazing! We had a number of dishes, including the veal parm, and everything was so damn good. The service was solid, but not great. The waiter had a little attitude for no reason, they were slow and forgetful at times.

Celebrated my birthday and had a wonderful dinner. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. I was especially happy to find that the food truly lived up to expectations, it’s not easy to find a restaurant in NYC with a strong menu and great execution. My only small note is that I wish the martini selection were a bit broader, but aside from that, everything was fantastic. Thank you so much Sartiano’s team!

5 stars! Incredibile spot to come with friends or a partner, and enjoy drinks and or a fantastic meal in a great environment. Getting a reservation can be tricky so plan ahead, but its well worth it! Will return to try more items on the menu. Staff was amazing, everything we tried was delicious, and the environment is enjoyable to the point no one wants to leave.

Warm, cozy yet energetic upscale Italian in NYC. We were traveling thru with a party of 6, and will definitely stop back by when we are there again. One set back is there is no kids menu, not even choices per our waiter, so the 9yr old traveling with us had to opt for a $50 entree. Not ideal, but still ok. I should’ve researched that in advance. Still a solid choice.

Amazing experience – had tried this before when it was Mercer Kitchen and they kept a similar vibe downstairs. Apps were great, the focaccia with whipped ricotta was fantastic. The Italian was on point, the lasagna was a white sauce with many layers that would be trending if it were at some boutique like Don Angie, must try. We had the tomahawk cooked to perfection. Finally, the only dessert worth really trying is the tiramisu (pictured), it was worth every extra calorie!

Sartiano’s has become a tradition for me and my girls – we try to come at least every three months (sometimes more!) and it never disappoints. The Dirty Umami Martini is hands down the best martini we’ve ever had in our lives. I even celebrated my birthday here, and it was perfect! 😀 We always bring friends visiting New York too!
Charlotte is an incredible server – so friendly, welcoming, and she even remembered us, which means a lot in a city like New York with so many faces to keep track of. That personal touch makes every visit feel special.
Every dish is consistently amazing, but the House-Made Focaccia is a must-try (you’ll honestly die, it’s that good). Their gluten-free options are also excellent – thoughtful and delicious.
Sartiano’s is one of those rare spots that feels both special and reliable. Every visit is memorable. Highly recommend!
