Sarto

It may seem like any other city-centre pasta joint, with its industrial open kitchen, concrete floors and well-designed Scandi furniture, but delicious food and a sense that this is a ‘a place which has really come into its own,’ makes Sarto a popular spot. We’ve enjoyed crisp aubergine with a hearty, fragrant pesto, handmade pappardelle (lots of bite) with beef shin ragù and béchamel, and a light tiramisu with a lovely syrupy sponge. Good coffee is from Leeds favourite Laynes, and there’s a brief, affordable, mostly Italian wine list, as well as cocktails and a fun-looking spritz menu.
