When I opened my doors in July of 2009, I committed to serving the freshest Italian dishes made from local and seasonal ingredients. I learned early the heart of Italian cooking is the flavor…or sapore. My school of teaching was from the best; my Nonna Elena and Mother Lia. Their philosophy has been carried on in my style of cooking: use simple ingredients and the food will speak for its self. Classic Italian dishes grace the menu but are personalized with my unique touch. Quality and consistency is what you will find with each dish. I would never serve anything short of that. So whether you are looking for a memorable night out or a glass of wine with friends, I am glad that you have chosen Sapore. As in true Italian tradition, I enjoy bringing people together through food. Ciao –

    Our server, Rachel was spectacular very attentive and on time with everything. My wife loved her pasta, vodka Al forno, Thought it had a little too much cheese, and not enough sauce, other than that it was great. I had the seafood pasta special very good but not enough seafood in my opinion only five clams and five shrimp. The coal fired bread service was excellent butter was spectacular. Table next to us had a couple of pizzas. They looked phenomenal. We will definitely be back

    We always enjoy dining here and once again did not disappoint. To begin with the do have good happy hour special in the bar. Keep that in mind. Dinner was great service & food. Loved the lasagna and we had the sea bass special. It was great but for $70 I would suggest asking the price of the special before ordering. Or the waiter could have shared that info. Regardless, we love dining out for nice food $ service. We prefer dining here rather that Bristol’s.

    My husband always gets the chicken parmigiana and I always get the lobster ravioli. Both dishes are delicious. We have tried other dishes and I must say everything is delicious.
