Being described as “one of Taylor’s favorite restaurants” in media reports doesn’t hurt business, especially when the subject in question is Taylor Swift.
According to reports, Sartiano’s New York restaurant catered the Swift-Travis Kelce rehearsal dinner on Thursday at Infosys Theater inside Madison Square Garden. The New York Post originally posted of the restaurant’s involvement.
Hospitality powerhouse Scott Sartiano’s company also operates Sartiano’s Italian Steakhouse at Wynn Las Vegas, alongside the members-only club, Zero Bond.
Sartiano’s officials did not return requests for comment about the reports. Swift and Kelce were married Friday, also at MSG.
An unnamed “spy” in the Page Six post told the pub that Swift-Kelce’s rehearsal-dinner guests commingled and sipped cocktails on a pink carpet and “feasted on yellowfin tuna tartare, Caesar salad, meatballs, burrata and cavatelli.”
From the Post post, “The menu was catered by one of Taylor’s favorite restaurants, Sartiano’s.” The pub also published a photo of a white catering truck with SARTIANO’S across the side pulling into MSG.
The Sartiano’s and Zero Bond opened in March. Sartiano’s hospitality empire is accustomed to serving celebs. At Zero Bond’s opening on March 10, Doja Cat and The Chainsmokers performed for such attendees as Jon Hamm, Gwyneth Paltrow, LeBron James, Tom Brady, Jessica Alba, Kevin Costner, Mark Wahlberg and Keegan-Michael Key. The total cost of the event was reportedly $3 million.
