Sandro’s Opens a New Location on East 86th

The venerable Sandro’s has re-opened, with a new location on East 86th Street, in the former Little Frog restaurant location (very sad to see that place go). Owner and chef Sandro Fioriti opened his former location on East 81st Street in 2006, serving his native Roman cuisine. According to the New York Times, he has been joined by his son, Sandro Fioriti Jr., for the past eight years, who runs the restaurant, with his father in the kitchen. The new location is expected to have the same menu and staff in the 56-seat space. Upon a quick tour, the dining room appears to be a bit more formal than Little Frog with nicely-spaced circular tables dressed in white linens.
