Sartianos

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Sartianos sits on Prince Street in New York City, bringing together the kind of Italian cooking that earns lasting recognition. The restaurant holds Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence for 2024 — a distinction that speaks directly to the seriousness of its wine program and the overall dining experience it delivers.

The Chef Behind the Kitchen

At the center of Sartianos is Culinary Director Alfred Portale, one of the most decorated figures in American fine dining. A three-time James Beard Award winner, Portale built his reputation over three decades at Gotham Bar and Grill, where he became known for precise, beautiful plating and an uncompromising commitment to ingredient quality. He later opened his namesake restaurant in Chelsea before bringing his vision to Sartianos. His accolades include five three-star reviews from The New York Times and a Michelin Star maintained consistently over the years — credentials that set a clear standard for what guests can expect.

What to Expect

The menu spans the full arc of the day, with options for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, as well as a dedicated café menu and an aperitivo service. The Italian kitchen is complemented by a dessert menu and a beverages program substantial enough to merit Wine Spectator's recognition. Private dining and event spaces make Sartianos a practical choice for gatherings, while outdoor seating adds another dimension to the experience on Prince Street.

The restaurant also has a presence at Wynn Las Vegas, extending Portale's approach to Italian cuisine to a second location — though the New York address remains the original.
