    Unfortunately inexperienced waiter, main course rib eye though supposedly grilled arrived at the table looking boiled … i’m not very hot …not sure what happened but ruined the rest of the meal! Also salted preparation on a neighboring tables. Bronzino was quite messy and one of the white staff came and swept it up while we were eating .. unacceptable

    This may be our new favorite restaurant. The food was delicious and the service could not have been better. The fresh paparadelle and mushrooms was amazing , as was the caccio e Pepe. A wonderful experience from start to finish, highly recommended.

    Enjoyed the restaurant. Ambiance was great and cozy. Food was delicious and service was superb. My only criticism is that they didn’t have the fillet so I ordered rib eye, which turned out just fine. Happens. Other than that, would highly recommend.

    Thank you Luis! We’re so glad you enjoyed the ambiance, food, and service. We appreciate your understanding about the fillet and are happy the rib-eye worked out. Hope to see you again soon!

    The online photos of the food and ambience totally sold my friends and I. However, every meal (even the filet mignon) seemed to disappoint and lack flavor. I’ve never written a review but feel like the quality advertised vs the quality served was so different, I need to let others know. I don’t mind spending decent money on a good meal but this absolutely felt like a waste, unfortunately (I mean, $15 for dry pasta to go with my spicy chicken parm that was not at all spicy? I can’t justify it!). I honestly hope it was just an off night because our waiter was incredible!! I can’t emphasize enough how amazing the service was! Our waiter was attentive and kind, overall just a joy! One last note: it is BYOB which may be listed on the website but I honestly didn’t see it (and even quickly went back to look when we got there). Could totally be an oversight on my part but of course was a small road bump upon arrival. However, they partner with a local liquor store that delivered us two bottles of wine right to our table! So it ended up working out in that regard. If you’re looking for aesthetic, Sapori is your place. If you’re looking for great food, maybe consider somewhere else.

    Small BYOB Italian restaurant with very attentive waitstaff. Dining menu with limited but very good options. Some portions were plentiful while others were skimpier.

    New spot in town will become one of our favorites based on our first experience dining at Sapori. Food was really good and the service exceptional. Looking forward to our next visit and sampling more of their great food and hospitality!
