Sarti Wellington St is an Italian restaurant at 133 Wellington Street in Glasgow city centre. It began as a café and delicatessen in 1992 and remains the original Sarti restaurant. Breakfast and coffee service starts the day before the room moves into lunch and dinner with the lively character of a busy city venue.
The kitchen combines Italian ingredients, many imported directly from Italy, with Scottish produce. Pizza and pasta form an important part of the menu, joined by meat and seafood dishes that reflect traditional Italian restaurant cooking. This balance lets diners choose a quick familiar plate or build a fuller meal across several courses.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices are available, and there is a separate children’s menu for younger diners. Because ingredients and preparation needs vary, anyone managing an allergy should check the latest information with staff. The restaurant also offers call and collect food during its operating hours.
Italian coffee and breakfast preserve the café side of Sarti’s original identity, while lunch and dinner provide a more complete restaurant experience. Wine and other drinks naturally complement pizza, pasta, meat and seafood. More than three decades after opening, Sarti Wellington St continues to connect Glasgow produce and hospitality with a distinctly Italian approach to eating.
