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 –

Our experience has remained the same each visit. We enjoy the ambiance. If you like great seafood well-prepared with excellent quality and service, you might want to consider Napoli Sea. We haven’t ordered their meat selection but we would anticipate it too would be just as delicious and well prepared. Drinks and dessert never disappoint. Napoli Sea is one of our favorites.

Received a $100 dollar reward for wine offer. Great food, Lillian was friendly and knowledgeable. We both ordered the filets withe 2 sides included. Ordered another side order of risotto per Lillian’s recommendation. Good value for around $140 + free $100 for wine. Every time we come here, we ask ourselves why we don’t come more frequently.
