Sartiano's, the buzzy restaurant at The Mercer Hotel is the place to see a celebrity—or two. Here, learn more:
in a current hotspot or a historic haunt, but a place that wasn’t yet open at all: somewhere called Sartiano’s. “Where is Sartiano’s?” a colleague from Vogue asked this writer after receiving the invitation. “I’ve never heard of it.”
By May 2, that had already changed. It turned out Chanel had tapped Scott Sartiano, the impresario behind buzzy private member’s club Zero Bond, to throw the soireé at his upcoming restaurant at The Mercer Hotel in the former Mercer Kitchen space. Nearly every face in the room was a famous one: Margot Robbie and Cara Delevigne giggled in one corner, while Vittoria Ceretti held court in another. Gisele Bündchen danced with Penélope Cruz, who clutched a slice of pizza in one hand.
As an avalanche of party reports and paparazzi photos emerged the next morning, Sartiano’s was quickly catapulted to the most anticipated opening of the summer. The only question? Whether it could live up to the lofty expectations set not only by the party, but its location within a perennially cool hotel in the heart of downtown New York. “I’m at this iconic property on Prince and Mercer that’s been the epicenter of SoHo for the last 25 years,” admits Sartiano.
On June 15, Sartiano’s finally opens its doors to the public. Its interiors by Studio Sofield—best known for their work with Tom Ford—evokes a moody Tuscan wine cellar with exposed brick walls, Carrara marble counters, and rich leather bar seats. The menu, which includes everything from housemate focaccia to lobster bucatini to Dover sole piccata, is helmed by James Beard Award-winning chef Alfred Portale. Yet it would be remiss to categorize this as a textbook Italian restaurant.
