    The food and vibes were great! Our waitress, Casey, was amazing. Only thing that was really annoying was their obvious urge to turn tables over. In a matter of minutes, we had 4-5 separate people try to take our food that we were clearly still eating (literally said “no thank you, we’re still working on that” while we were mid-chew). The same thing happened with our drinks. We had a bottle of champagne in an ice bag that we repeatedly had people take out of the bag to check how much was remaining. Other than feeling rushed, this place was awesome.

    This was one of my top five dining experiences ever! We got kitchen counter seating which I love- being right in the mix and chatting with the chefs is my jam! Cocktails were on point but the food…. I mean come on!!!! We had zucchini fritters, a butternut squash filled pasta dish that had this amazing rich and subtly sweet sauce, roasted beets with this crazy pop of pomegranate and risotto with a taleggio fonduta that I will be dreaming about for a very long time! Bravo, rose mary- you killed it!!!!

    Atmosphere/ambience at 5pm was quiet and uncrowded. By 6:30 conversations turned louder but was understandable as tables near us filled with patrons. There was an air of true joy around us, everyone was glad to be there. The Bucatini Carbonara was superbly prepared with generous flavors of bacon, egg, onion and more! The Tiramisu was perfect with coffee or tea. Always a great meal at Sapori Trattoria!
