Hello. This was our sixth visit to Sapore Italiano and just like our first time, it was excellent. In a nice town with many great choices for places to dine, Sapore Italiano is our all-time favorite! Just outside the center of town, located in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of good parking and a short walk to the beach, adds to the high marks of this restaurant. The friendly, efficient staff and outstanding meal choices makes this our go to place for a nice time. Keep up the great work and see you again soon!

No homemade pasta, except for gnocchi.
No homemade Caesar salad dressing….that seems unheard of these days for an Italian restaurant, especially at these prices.
Basket of bread TERRIBLE- white processed, soft Rainbow bread vintage- this is criminal for an Italian restaurant to serve this bread!
Huge portions. Chicken piccata not overly seasoned.
Pasta w Italian Sausage low Average, no flavor.
