SARTÙ In Cortona

Absolutely beautiful little placed tucked into Cortona! The food is authentic and made with great care by the wonderful chef/owner, Liliana. We had a fantastic time and will be back again.

Sartù is a hidden gem in Cortona that is located going halfway down a set of stairs just past the pharmacy on the left. We made a last minute reservation and the staff was extremely accommodating. Lorenzo was our server and host and he was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He spoke some English and provided detailed explanations on the dishes. He also made great recommendations on wine to pair with the food. The atmosphere of the restaurant felt like having an intimate dinner in a Tuscan villa as it only had 18 seats (2 wonderful tables outside). We ordered an assortment of food to try as much as possible on the menu. We tried the ravioli, gnocchi, pork, braised wild boar, and finished with a deconstructed cannoli that was prepared to perfection. The chef here is from Naples and also makes a special crème brûlée with cinnamon. We wanted to order this as well but were too full! If you are visiting Cortona, Sartù should be at the top of your list for dinner. Thank you Lorenzo and Sartù for a wonderful experience. We will see you again soon!

After a long day of traveling from Cortona to Firenze and back, we made it just in time to have dinner here. It was our 5th night in town and we had almost a week of dining experience as foreigners and Sartu was our favorite meal yet! They were ready to close when we walked in, but they welcomed us anyways. Took no pictures unfortunately but the ravioli, cheese appetizer, spicy pasta and wild boar were all incredible.

A small, well-kept restaurant in the centre of Cortona with refined, very good cuisine and professional staff, highly recommended!
