About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Welcome to Sabatinos a beautiful old school Italian restaurant with delcious food and great ambieance. You get bread including focaccia - a kind of pizza bread, then a salad and soup, then an entree - try the veal Parmesan, and a side of pasta. Many recommend the baked Alaska dessert. Sabatino"s is dimly lit with flowers on every table, this Italian-American restaurant has been the perfect date restaurant for about 25 years. Diners might have their steak or seafood entrees complemented by the serenade of strolling musicians in the main room or piano music in the bar area. Angelo Pagni, who owns the restaurant with his brother, Enzo, said Sabatino's is popular in the neighborhood for a lot of reasons, food and atmosphere and chief among them. Stop in today!

    Since it’s a family old time Italian I thought it was going to be amazing and it was way too poor. Just lots of cream in everything...

    Disappointed to learn Sabatino's (one of our favorite reliable "go to" places) is closing. As soon as I heard I made a reservation knowing it would soon be impossible to get in. Unfortunately, it seems the incredibly busy pace is wearing on everyone. The food was not as good as usual, seemed to be missing seasoning and pasta was overcooked and glutenous...we didn't send it back as everything was taking so long (3 hour meal start to finish). The staff was surly as we overheard a server calling another a name, we waited 20 min. for our reserved time and overall it just wasn't the send off of an old friend that we'd hoped for. The ONLY reason I am writing this review is to inform the restaurant as they still have 3 months to make some changes in order to accommodate this incredibly busy period and continue to be a fun time for their customers if they are aware of where they are missing. We wish the Owners and staff all the very best and will miss them for sure!! Thanks for great memories...

    Our first time here, but we're going to try to come back again before they close in December! The veal was delicious, the ambiance was great, the pizza bread was cheesy and the service was excellent. The owners are retiring and the last night of service is December 23. I'm sad I waited so long to try this traditonal Italian place out. Enjoy retirement!

    A must-go before it closes. This place is iconic and the food is superb - my family is from NY and they thought it was some of the best Italian they’ve ever had. Going to miss this place and all the great memories.

    Very attentive service. Quality of food was outstanding. Like that this restaurant has small private booths to accommodate 3-4 people.
