Designed by the acclaimed Studio Sofield—celebrated for its collaborations with Tom Ford—Sartiano’s interiors evoke the allure of a moody Tuscan wine cellar.
Exposed brick walls, Carrara marble counters, and supple leather bar seats create an atmosphere that is both refined and inviting.
The menu, crafted by James Beard Award–winning chef Alfred Portale, highlights Italian classics reimagined with modern grace—from house-made focaccia to lobster bucatini and Dover sole piccata.
Blending timeless design with culinary artistry, Sartiano’s offers an experience as captivating as its SoHo surroundings.
Sartiano’s Café is a neighborhood favorite, open to the public and serving the full Sartiano’s menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
In the warmer months, the Café extends onto the street, offering coveted outdoor seating—an ideal perch to take in the rhythm and energy of SoHo.
The Lobby

Bathed in natural light, the space invites moments of pause—where thoughtfully crafted dishes and cocktails from Sartiano’s are enjoyed in effortless privacy.
In-Room Dining
Available around the clock, in-room dining features a thoughtfully curated menu from Sartiano’s—bringing the restaurant’s refined flavors to the privacy of your room.
