CIAO !! Fabrizio and Francesca here! We are husband and wife who arrived here in NEWY almost 6 years ago from Rome and we are excited to bring you a taste of Italy and share our typical culinary traditions with Newcastle.

SAPORI means “flavours” in English and perfectly represents what we want to bring to Newcastle - authentic and traditional Italian flavours from our homeland in Italy.

As Italians, quality food is in our blood. SAPORI AT TAILORS offers traditional Roman Pizza, homemade Pasta, Desserts, and Gelato. We prepare every dish daily from scratch, using traditional recipes and adding a bit of love into everything we do. We’ve hand-picked the best ingredients from local, authentic producers and imported goods from Italy so we can guarantee high-quality food to give you a real Italian experience here in Newcastle.

On our Menu, you can find Pizzas divided into Le Rosse pizzas and Le Bianche , as well as starter plates, pasta and of course, Italian desserts

The food was fantastic! Very generous entre portions, great service and everything was delicious. I also really enjoyed the Italian beers they had as it is something you don't see very often.

Being charged $24 for a weekend surcharge on a Saturday evening along with a $5 card payment fee left negative note on the whole evening! Food was ok but definitely not the best Italian in Newcastle.

There were 6 of us dining at a table outside. Everyone of us enjoyed our meal very much. The six of us all said we will definitely be returning. We could not fault the service and the food. I would definitely recommend Sapori to my friends and family.

Thanks for accommodating our booking of 10 people on Saturday evening. Staff were friendly nd the food was delightful. We did book for 6PM however a few of our party got held up and didn't arrive until after 6:30pm, so things were a bit rushed toward the end as another group was coming in after us. Drink service was a little slow but they did seem quite busy with diners and take away orders. I will be back to try some more of the menu :)

This little restaurant is a gem and a great find. It made me feel like I was back in Italy just for a little while . The staff are really lovely. We only had our table for 1.5 hours but I would have loved to stay all night. Food is genuine Italian and excellent.

Excellent little Italian. The arancini is one of the best we've had and the Roman style(Thin) pizza was outstanding. All washed down with a lovely Italian Chianti.

The chairs have been changed to proper seats with back support making the experience much more comfortable and as usual the food and service is the best in Newcastle 👌 I couldn’t recommend Sapori at Tailors enough!!!! It’s a must try.

My favourite restaurant in Newy. I'm torn between keeping it a secret for my own benefit, versus singing its praises to everyone! Don't go there ever! (but do)
