At lunch, this place seeme overwhelmed. Despite having a reservation, they tried seating my party at a low cocktail table in the bar. They moved us begrudgingly. The food was good.

I can't say enough good things about this spot. My wife and I had heard great things, but it took us a while to make our way here. I've never had Italian food this good. My wife and I ordered an appetizer, 3 entrees, and dessert, and I swear all of them were equally amazing. Meaning, your eyes roll up in your head when you take your first bite because it's THAT good. Such a wonderful experience. Thank you everyone at Sapori
