I loved this restaurant! Beautiful decor, gracious excellent staff and the food was fabulous. I had the seafood pasta, so delicious! My friend had a ceasar salad and a pasta dish she couldn't stop talking about. We shared a tiramisu. I'll be going back numerous times.

A Hidden Gem with Outstanding Food and Atmosphere! This place is absolutely delicious! The chicken parm is easily one of the best I've had--rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The restaurant offers a great atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. What makes it even better is the reasonable pricing, which is rare for food of this quality. The service was excellent, with a friendly and attentive staff. I would definitely highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for incredible Italian cuisine. It's a must-try, and I can't wait to return!

My mom and I came here for dinner on a Monday night. We shared a focaccia as a starter which was soft, chewy, and warm. For entrees, my mother enjoyed her linguine and I had my ravioli. For finishers, my mom enjoyed her Cappuccino and we shared the tiramisu. Overall, we had a great experience. Our waiter was patient and professional. The ambiance is classy and clean. Would love to come again!

We loved Sapori and loved both the food and the vibe. I ordered the burrata salad, focaccia, and chicken parm. My husband ordered lamb chops. The staff was so nice and efficient, everything was amazing! They made it a great experience. I'll come back to support this place

Lively, warm and elegant ambiance. Came to have a girls dinner with my wonderful cousin. We shared the oysters, I had the fettucini and then we both shared the tiramisu. Our server, Julian, was fast, friendly and attentive. He had excellent recommendations.

We recently had a great dinner at Sapori. For our entrees, we ordered 2 kinds of pasta - cavatelli and cacio e pepe. I thought the pasta itself was outstanding, both dishes were very good. As a dessert, we ordered the tiramisu which we also enjoyed. The atmosphere is cozy and warm. Our service was pretty good. We will be back again.
