Dinner was amazing. Everything is made to order. I order Chicken parm, it was great. My husband ordered the steak, was cooked perfect. We had the baked clams for our starter and the bread was warm. Its bring your own bottle and they have a store close that you can call and get it delivered.

We had dinner at Sapori for the first time and we were absolutely blown away. Food is authentic, full of taste, and made with only the best ingredients. The atmosphere was amazing, and the dessert was the best. The meal was the highlight for sure. The calamari was exceptional and the linguine just melted in your mouth. We drove an hour to enjoy dinner here for my hubby's birthday.

My girlfriend and I went to Sapori for her birthday dinner, and it was amazing! She ordered the ravioli, and I had the risotto. Their Focaccia is so delicious and fresh, we had to get it again! The tiramisu was tasty. Our server, Julian, was great and very kind. We will be back again.

Outstanding cuisine. My appetizer was the East Coast Oysters. Very nicely seasoned and delicious. My entree was the Lobster Fettuccini. Best pasta I have ever eaten!! For dessert, I had the Creme Brulee. Beautiful presentation and absolutely amazing in taste. The service was extremely attentive. All in all a wonderful evening!! Highly recommended.

Always the best! We love this place!!! We shared a burrata salad and a seafood salad. My husband had a ribeye that was cooked perfectly, was tender, and was flavorful. I had a beautiful ravioli with tartufo. I always order the tiramisu for dessert, but since we each had a dessert, I also had the opportunity to try the creme brulee. Mario is an amazing server if you are lucky enough to have him. I hope you get the chance to try it out.
