    Sapori Trattoria provided great service from the moment we walked in the door. Their cocktails were solid, good glassware and the cocktail inside of them. Shared two antipasti’s including Calabrian Clams (the best thing I ate all night, and the Burrata platter. The prosciutto was perfect, as were the lesser items, but the burrata was definitely a bit subpar. Not bad by any means, but maybe the weakest link. We split an Insalata Rustica four ways and there was plenty. My friend had the bucatini carbonara which was delicious but nearly too rich if that’s possible. I had the lasagna, and couldn’t finish even half of it. The gals split the Pasta Contadino. Neither of them finished a half order. A bonus was that they had a list of about 20 wines for half price. Overall a very nice experience.

    This place is a must. The service and food are outstanding. We really enjoyed the Vib and music too. Well worth trekking out on one of coldest days of the year.

    Literally eating our leftovers as I type this. The food here is delicious. It's fresh and scratch made. We've not eaten anything there that has left us disappointed. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, we feel very comfortable here. They have a kids selection as well, you just have to ask for it. I'd say it's kid friendly for children who dine out often, especially at upscale places. The cocktails and wine selection are great. We love this place, it's our "go-to" when we need something that will make everyone happy easily.
