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 –

The only issue was that my salmon wasn’t cooked all the way through, despite requesting it. However, it didn’t impact the meal as it was a small enough portion that was uncooked, and it was still delicious, as was my son’s chicken Milanese. Our server was very pleasant and efficient. Yet another great experience at Brio.

We were delighted with the exceptional food we enjoyed at Madrina! The appetizer of ricotta cheese, toasted bread and honey sounded simple, but was so delicious. We also enjoyed our entrees, a pasta with shrimp, artichokes, and tasty cream sauce, and pollo Marsala. Both entrees were outstanding. Our server was pleasant and helpful, offering a taste of the wine before we ordered it. The service all evening was great. We can’t wait to go 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.
