We decided to try out Sarti's on Bath Street. Well actually my wife decided, i just went along and did as I was told.
It was a thursday night, and we had just finished our xmas shopping and my wife decided she wanted something nice instead of my cooking. We settled on Sartis, an italian restaurant specializing in home made italian dishes. Before entering you walk down the stairs from the outside into the small alcove beside the front door. There are a few tables that mould into the background here but there was no one sitting outside, presumably because of the rain. When you enter Sartis, to the right, there looks as though there's a small recess with about 4 tables, but actually goes straight through to the back. Upon entering, with the main counter to our left, we were met by a lady who was very pleasant and welcoming. She then proceeded to take us to our table which was situated through the back. She gave us a table in front of the Kitchen. At first I wasnt sure we had been given a good seated location but now i'm glad we sitting where the waitress had seated us. This is a open plan kitchen where you can see everything happen right in front of you. As well as your own food being made right there n then you can also watch everyone else's food being made. It was really interesting watching the chefs in action, watching them looking at the order, working out the ingredients, then turning to the stoves for work. The way they work doesn't look that tense although busy as they all look very relaxed with each other and with the italian emotion, it gives the place a little more umph that most italian restaurants lack thus making it such an enjoyable atmosphere. In saying that, with the Italian emotion, id love to see a volatile moment, sure that would prove to be brilliant to watch. Anyway there was a lot of specials going on but we  ended for some good ole Italian traditional's foods like Spaghetti meatballs for the kids, Chicken n Pepperoni Taglittelli and my wife went for the Mussels, which looked absolute amazing. Every dish looks as if your know your in for a treat. The portions were well sized, all though I didn't see much difference between the kids sized meatballs and the adults, The adults was still big but I think there could have been a couple of meatballs more just to give it the perfect portion.
Anyway's, what can I say, I finished first again. I do not know why I'm writing this as I should be telling you about the look, quality, taste and texture of the food etc... but then what the hell, I wolfed it down, rubbed my belly and thought I really enjoyed that. All the food was excellent well cooked and couldn't really find any fault at all, (not that I was looking). Anyway's after the kids finished their meal we asked for the bill as we were really wanting to make a sharp exit to get the kids home but the waiter asked the kids if they wanted ice cream, it was suttle done but we were not charged for the ice cream, which was real cool. The staff always look busy and far enough away but close enough just to keep tabs on your table and take away any empty plates, glasses etc.. The way it should be.
Verdict on Sartis Bath Street Restaurant
Taking a romantic date to Sartis is definitely worth a shot, although it can be quite a busy bustling little place. taking family with kids however is good but one main problem which I think they should try and address is that they do not have anything for the awkward kids, who don't go for the fancy Italian food unlike their parents, (hint to my kids), but who like the basics like fish n chips etc... you know the sort, the kids who go to an indian restaurant with their parents who always end up ordering them chips, fish and burgers..
Would i have the confidence to recommend this restaurant, yes I most certainly would and I'm sure I would get compliments back from our clients thanking us for the advice.
