We had a lovely time. The stuffed ravioli was fabulous. The seafood dishes were phenomenal as well as our appetizers and the Pinot Noir was delicious. Everybody was extremely full by the end of our meal as we were off. To Kingston mines for some wonderful music. Great location, easy parking will be back

We went to Sapori Trattoria for dinner with another couple we hadn’t seen for awhile. We ordered some wine and beer to start with. Then we ordered charred octopus, insalata rustica and minestrone soup as starters. For main course we had gnocchi, salmon and rigatoni. All the food tasted good and the portions were generous. Service was okay. The main problem was the noise level, which was deafening. Indoor seating is crowded and It was almost impossible for us to carry on a conversation. We had dinner at this restaurant earlier in the summer, when we sat outside. That was pleasant. We do not recommend indoor seating in this restaurant.

Sapori is simply a solid, "go to" in this neighborhood. The food is consistently great and the ambience gives you all of the Chicago feels that you are looking for. It's a great, local spot to bring your out-of-town visitors to! To be safe, make a reservation ahead of time... don't expect to show up and get a table at this restaurant without a reservaton, especially on the weekends.

Great spot! Food was great, not mind-blowing. Service was wonderful, music was a little loud and obnoxious. Don’t mind being sat close to other people but maybe not turn up the music so much..I will be back to try other stuff!
