    This was my first time at Sapori and I went to celebrate my birthday. This was such a perfect dinner! Liv was my waitress and she was so helpful with menu recommendations, drink options, and even helped me celebrate by taking a photo for me with dessert. ☺️ the food was incredible, and the sides are family-style so you can definitely get them to share with the table - I ended up taking half of my sides home! If you are looking for a place to celebrate your next special occasion, I definitely recommend Sapori!
