Needed a highly rated local Italian restaurant for a Monday evening dinner and discovered Sapori on Open Table. Food was delicious… especially the artichoke appetiser. I had the haddock special which was done perfectly. My colleague had a pasta dish and asked if it could be amended to include a protein which was accommodated without problem. Our server was extremely attentive, charming and very professional. The entire team worked well together and the energy was calm and comfortable. Everything added up to an amazing meal and dining out experience. Definitely coming back!

The menu is very creative with something for everyone. I thought the apps and entres were fairly priced and the portion size ample. I had the octopus appetizer and was a little disappointed with how many legs were served. For entre, the Chicken Scarp was excellent with a good blend of sausage, chicken and peppers. It does seem odd to me that in a suburban quiet town like Ardsley, the bottle of wine prices started at $53. There was nothing special about our chardonnay.
