We had our rehearsal dinner at Sardella's and had an awesome experience! We rented the private Tuscan room which was a great space for a group of about 50 people. The service was friendly and wonderful. Patrick was great to work with leading up to our rehearsal dinner. The food is awesome and their tuscan style presentation was beautiful!

We had our August 2019 wedding rehearsal dinner at Sardella's Restaurant and it was perfect! We had approximately 20 guests and it was held in Carol's Corner. It was private and everyone was able to relax and enjoy the evening. Patrick was a pleasure to work with the menu and arrangements. The food was delicious and the service was great! Would highly recommend this restaurant for your rehearsal dinner!

The food was great, they were easy to work with, and they were very upfront and transparent about their billing, which is always a plus. One of my guests is gluten intolerant and they were happy to accommodate him.

We had our rehearsal dinner at Sardella's in May 2018. We had to change the time of our reservations on a few instances but Patrick was able accommodate without any issues. We only had 16 people at our rehearsal dinner so we didn't book a private room. Patrick set us up at a semi-private table and it seemed as though we had a private room. Our waiter Matt did such a great job with the entire party and all food came out at the same time. All of our guests raved about how delicious everything was - from the appetizers and drinks to the entrees! You won't be disappointed here!

We used Sardella's for our rehearsal dinner. It was wonderful. We used the room upstairs which has its own bathroom, bar and seating area with a balcony. It felt like you had your own private restaurant. The food was served family style and was delicious! We could not have asked for anything better. Patrick was also easy to work with and street parking was easy to find!

We held our rehearsal dinner at Sardella's and it was great. They have a few different private rooms, and we used the room that is upstairs and totally separated from any other area of the restaurant. It was private and exactly what we wanted. There was no excess noise from the restaurant or bar because were in our own separate area which was very nice. They had a bar in the room, and the bartender and wait staff were great!
The food was excellent as well! They served a few different options at each table which was awesome because you got to try a little of everything :)
The manager, Patrick, was also a pleasure to work with. He was so prompt and helpful, and made everything easy to plan. Because Sardella's is not right in the main street area of Newport the parking was better, and there were no ridiculous room fees like some of the other restaurants downtown. It was perfect.
Thank you Sardella's!

I rented the Tuscan Room for our rehearsal dinner and we had forty people eat and drink for four hours. It was the most amazing food (esp. the lobster ravioli), wonderful staff and bartenders, private so we felt like it was our own restaurant, and just delightful! I had just as much fun at my rehearsal dinner as I did at my wedding! I did NOT want to go home!
