Called in here last minute before a gig at the wardrobe. The staff were very friendly and although all the tables were full, made room for us to sit in the window seating to enjoy our dinner. The food was gorgeous, very tasty, decent sized portions. Everything tasted homemade and well thought out, pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection and the sauces were delicious. I am not sure how often dishes change but I had a lamb ragu dish which I really enjoyed, my friend had a gnocchi which again she thought was gorgeous.

Pasta was incredible, I like how many of the flavours are not typically what you’d find. I’ve been here three times over the past few months, ordering different things every time and it has always been nothing short of a delight. I have recommended many people here and they have all loved Sarto’s. The staff are all lovely as well.

Came for the pasta!! Decor very nice, a bit canteeny though. Could do with some cute little table decorations but I appreciate they might wanna keep things simple. Acoustics realllly let this place down for me, trust me, it makes a huge difference once you get past 30 years old lol. Food was great - tasted like Italian Italian not just British Italian! One comment I'd make is that the beetroot with the labneh needed more seasoning and the chimmichurri was a bit oily. Everything else was fabulous. Oh, and your toilets are not mobility friendly (that I could tell - LOTS of stairs). Service great & with a smile.

I loved the pasta here! Visited with a friend. The place has a really calm, relaxed atmosphere with very efficient service. It does exclusively serve pasta so don't bother if you aren't a fan. Luckily, I'm a big pasta enthusiast so I loved it here. I had a mushroom dish and it was gorgeous. Really cool range of cocktails available too. My only disappointment was the pudding as I just found it too sickly. However that may just be me, as my friend really enjoyed hers.

They make their own pasta which has a lovely texture and flavour. It's a short menu, done well, that caters for all, including vegans. Everyone of our dishes, including deserts was delicious. It's a trendy eatery so expect bench seats and warehouse style atmosphere with its openness, high ceiling, hard walls and bad acoustics. The latter especially poor for those who are hard of hearing. We would eat there again at a quiet time. Only minor gripe was that the cup of tea was only half full. It's not espresso!

We went to Sarto last night and I must say the arancini starters/ snacks were an absolute delight. Our friend also thoroughly enjoyed his venison salami starter. Sadly, the pasta dishes weren't to our taste. However, the waitress handled this with absolute professionalism and with no fuss at all. We didn't get the lady's name [she was friendly and she had very short hair] but she deserves full credit for taking control of the situation and doing everything she could to resolve things for us. Thank you so much.

I dined at Sarto with work friends, looking forward to a pleasant evening. The ambiance and staff were nice, but the mushroom fettuccini I ordered made me severely ill. Within an hour of eating, I experienced nausea and vomiting, ruining the night. What should have been a memorable meal turned into a nightmare, leaving me with horrible memories and concerns about the restaurant's food safety. I hope they address their hygiene issues, but until then, I can't recommend this place.

The food was very average for the price. I love the aesthetic of the restaurant as it has a casual vibe. Do not get the cauliflower truffle pasta - it literally tastes of nothing! We had a lovely server who took it off the bill for us but I was left hungry as I couldn’t eat it. Service was also slow… to say you’re only getting a plate of pasta. Wouldn’t recommend. The wine was nice though!

First visit - the starters and mains were beautiful . The focaccia was so fresh and perfect.the pasta was gorgeous, we had the olive and capers and the truffle pasta. The atmosphere was good, service was lovely and seeing the chefs at work was enjoyable. The only disappointment was the cannoli - it looked lush and was whipped beautifully BUT had no sugar in to and so was such a let down. Such a shame as it was not a good end to the evening .

Had heard about the hype over this restaurant and with only a couple of pasta dishes to choose from I did think it would be a life changing experience. When we arrived the restaurant did give school canteen vibes, but the staff were friendly and it’s not all about looks when it comes to a good meal. We had focaccia as a starter, definitely one to share as there was a lot of bread. It was fine but nothing special. I went with the waiters recommendation for my main, the pork pasta and my friend got the mushroom one. When they came I did feel like I was at home and my mum had cooked me spag bol for tea. The pasta came in a boring white bowl and our cocktails came in a basic tumbler. The rose spritz was very tasty by the pork pasta didn’t change my life unfortunately. It was just bang average pasta in a not so cosy or cute restaurant, so if you need a full belly then it’s fine but don’t expect to walk out as a new woman.

They had decent portion sizes. My main reason for this rating was the fact that we were charged a £4 ‘cake charge’ for bringing in a birthday cake for my wife when this was cleared in advance with the staff. I rang an hour or so prior to our arrival to check if this would be okay and they said no problem BUT failed to mention they’d charge us for it! This was bizarre as we’ve been to tons of birthday dinners before and never experienced this. I guess this is Sarto’s way of making a birthday celebration special! 😒

Went in with much expectation.Told them it’s a birthday while making a reservation and if it was okay to bring a cake in - to which they replied yes it was. At the end, we cut the cake we bought and got slapped a ‘cake charge’ of 4 pounds on the final bill of 96 pounds. How lame. It’s not about the 4 pounds that’s the issue here - If your staff agrees that it’s okay to bring a birthday cake in, at least make it clear while reserving that we will be charged for it. I’m personally never going back again. Wouldn’t recommend. Pasta was alright, nothing great honestly.

Booked here for a quick pre-theatre meal on a Saturday evening. Nice food and quite authentic.

Nice, modern, space with open kitchen front and centre. Focaccia great. Mozzarella with a tasty caponata good too. Fresh pasta not so much and missing that smoother, softer texture. And Rigatoni covered in Parmesan passed off as Campanelle without a request. Substitute pan fried gnocchi very large and tough - nothing soft and pillowy there. The Sicilian Grillo is excellent. We love seeking out fresh pasta whichever city we are in and maybe our expectations where a bit elevated.

Disappointing. We don’t get many evenings out and we’d been recommended this place. We arrived at 5.20for a booked table. Our order wasn’t taken till 6pm, that was drinks too. Snacks were nice. 30 mins later we were still waiting for our mains, the rigatoni pigs cheek special. Very disappointing, it was supposed to be with tarragon but no taste of tarragon at all. We asked for a glass of ice 3 times before we got it too. All for £90.

There was no staff toilet she could've used instead. It took 2 hours for our meals to come out and we were 1 of 4 tables in at the time. They make their pasta from scratch, yet their sauce is pre made as I saw it in the tub. The meal was nice when it eventually came out. I wouldn't dine here again

Went on a quietish time (Sunday 4.30pm) but the pasta was amazing. Al dente and home made. We love the fact that there is not much choice on the menu...so they keep ingredients fresh and focus on their speciality. Our party had the mushroom, the pork njuda and lamb pastas and they were all full of flavour. And the portions were substantial. So in summary much better than the pasta you get in your average Italian restaurant.

We recently dined at a delightful Italian restaurant. The food was not only nice but absolutely delicious, with authentic flavours that transported us to Italy. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Great for date night or family catch up. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff. One thing to note is that booking a table in advance is highly recommended to avoid any disappointment, as this place tends to get quite busy. If you plan on dining indoors, especially in the afternoon, be prepared for potentially high temperatures. If you're sensitive to heat, it might be more comfortable to request a table at the back of the restaurant.

Just got back from having dinner here, there are definitely better places to eat in Leeds. The place itself looks nice and I was looking forward to having food that matched the ambiance, but little did I know. The pasta was undercooked, the lamb sauce was watery and felt like an afterthought - it lacked coherence. The whole thing was underwhelming and very expensive for what it is. I’ve eaten better Italian food at home.. do not recommend!

We were really looking forward to going here because of the good-looking reviews, however we were quite disappointed. The food wasn’t the simple tasty Italian food we were expecting - the flavour of the nduja dish was quite strange, and the lamb dish was very watery and honestly lacking flavour. Unfortunately the pasta was also quite chewy and just too al dente. We paid 60 quid for 2 tiny starters, 2 mains and 2 cans of Coke. We’ve made much better pasta dishes at home :(

Service wasn’t that good, reminded multiple times we only had the table for a certain amount of time, which is fine but then maybe the food could come out in a more reasonable time, as didn’t get to finish and felt the waitress was a little rude

I’ve been to Sarto a couple of times now and it does not disappoint. Went out for dinner tonight with a friend and had an absolutely lovely time. The focaccia was actually the best thing ever, the pasta was perfect, drinks were lovely (espresso martini was immense), pudding was transcendent. I am not exaggerating. What made the night was the excellent service though, especially from Katy (with a y), who was just a joy frankly. She was really helpful and attentive, she was funny, we loved her xx will be back soon FOR SURE

Canteen-style open-plan seating hides a good modern Italian restaurant with attentive table service. Very reasonable prices, fresh pasta, and a range of starters/small plates. Clean flavours. Good vegetarian and vegan options. Ask about allergies.

We only ordered a pizza and garlic bread the food was ok but nothing special. But then again it was only pizza. Also don't think it's right that they automatically add a tip to your bill.

Always a lovely time when we come here. We had the Early Bird menu which is fantastic value for money and has lots of choice. Book a table if you're planning on coming, because it's been packed every time we've been.

The service was good - except one person who seemed a bit inexperienced. The big problem is the food in my opinion. The food styling was decent but the taste not at all. Very standard quality for the price. The atmosphere and decoration were great.
