The food was excellent, but the service fell short of expectations. Our server checked on us only three times throughout the entire evening. When we requested a knife upon receiving our food, it was brought out only after we had finished eating. Additionally, we waited approximately 30 minutes for the check.

This was my first time at Sapori and I went to celebrate my birthday. This was such a perfect dinner! Liv was my waitress and she was so helpful with menu recommendations, drink options, and even helped me celebrate by taking a photo for me with dessert. ☺️ the food was incredible, and the sides are family-style so you can definitely get them to share with the table - I ended up taking half of my sides home! If you are looking for a place to celebrate your next special occasion, I definitely recommend Sapori!

The food was excellent and our wait staff were helpful with suggestions but not intrusive. The noise level was a bit much in the area of the restaurant where we sat. All in all an enjoyable experience and highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and a fun atmosphere.

Daniel was our exceptional waiter- attentive, funny, he was on it 100% and even got my husband’s off-menu request taken care of without a problem. We had such a great evening. We hadn’t been to Sapori in awhile and it’s absolutely as fantastic as ever. A+

The carbonara was truly awful. As someone who makes carbonara at home this tastes like it's from a jar.

The food and service is amazing! We had an Insalata and the Rigatoni which were both wonderful! The tables are pretty close together, and we were there on a busy Saturday evening, so the noise level was a little loud for me, but I still enjoyed the food so much that it was worth it and I would definitely go again!
