                            This is about the tenth time we’ve eaten here over the years. It has always been one of our favorites and must stops. This time was different. We were greeted by a hostess that had a plate of food at the hostess station. I have never seen that in my life and do not want to see it at a fine dining restaurant. I remember a time when you were served a small charcuterie board but not anymore. I get it but miss it. The Caesar salad was ok but had a sprinkle of cheese on top. Not near enough to give it the taste. My branzino special was large but was a bit bland. My husband liked his salmon but the piece was really small. Not like he remembered. We were thankful for the bowl of Parmesan left at our table and the mousse dessert was perfect; light and not too sweet. I will go again but it was just a little off this time.

                            As always we enjoyed an outstanding meal once again at our favorite restaurant in Cape May County. Delicious food prepared perfectly and excellent waitstaff who always give expert attention to their customers. Been coming here for over 10 yrs. and it’s still our Number 1 spot. Thank you, Sapore Italiano!

                            Seated right on time. Wait staff was attentive, food was delicious and portions were generous. Check out was a little slow an our waiter was busy but that’s really nitpicking.

                            easy to park, pretty exterior, no wait to sit. Nice and quiet table. we only had main entries, no appetizers or desserts...but the choices were many, and the meal we had was excellent. A tad expensive, but great food seems to be these days. attentive waitress, kind, and she was helpful with choices.

                            We enjoyed our meal however it was very difficult to have a conversation because we were in a small room with 2 groups of 8 who were very noisy. Maybe some sound deadening panels would help with that problem.
