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 –

    Good ambiance, but poor service. From the moment we walked in, felt like they were annoyed that we had kids with us (who were very well behaved and quiet). Very little attention was paid to our table. Seemed to be a lot of regulars and since we were not they didn’t really care to check in on us or make sure we had a good experience. Will not return.

    Excellent service. I ordered the chicken pollo and just a little heavier than I expected.

    We brought two other couples for a pre-show dinner and everything was wonderful. Seated immediately upon arrival and server was very attentive, yet aware of our need to be out in 90 minutes for an engagement. Two of us ordered the off-menu selection of sea bass which was exquisite. Fairly limited wine list but all varietals are represented and respectable selections. Everyone enjoyed their meal, the ambiance and the overall experience.
