Sabatino's

We love Sabatino's!The food is excellent, and they have a large menu encompassing traditional favs (like chicken ziti & broccoli, chicken parm, ravioli, etc.), some really unique dishes, and old school dishes like bracciole, tripe, and calamari sauce -- each of which remind me so much of childhood dinners with my Papa.Their house salad is to die for -- literally the best Italian dressing I've ever had, and always poured generously over crisp iceberg and cold, crunchy veggies with a healthy sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Other standouts in the menu include the broccoli margarita and shrimp grand marnier appetizer and the zingarella specialty pasta dish. Every time we go, everything leaving the kitchen looks delicious and fresh.Service is consistently good and drinks are made very well. It gets very busy on weekends, so try to go for lunch or on a weeknight to ensure your meal is piping hot. Otherwise, we have found, sometimes dishes are sometimes served a little on the tepid side.Either way, you are sure to enjoy your experience at this great spot.

Went to Sabatino's Restaurant in Wakefield the other day. We had tried another restaurant in the area and thought we would try it out. It is very nice inside although really noisy from the bar area. We sat down and our server came to ask us about drinks.Ordered an Apple Martini. Martini came. Was very generous and not short poured like many others. Anyone who knows me knows I get very annoyed when a glass is not full.Water and bread came. Bread was delicious...almost like velvet interior and came with butter unlike most restaurants.I ordered....wait for it....Chicken Limone. My husband Chicken Parmesan.I asked for penne with red sauce on a separate plate and received penne under the chicken with lemon sauce. Another person brought it and before I could mention it wasn't correct, they were gone. Hubby's Parmesan had VERY LITTLE cheese, so I'm not sure you could call it Parmesan.I tried to flag down my server but had trouble. Finally, she came over and I told her about the penne which she corrected right away. Just a comment, the same server that took your order should be bringing it to you, because if somethings wrong they can correct it right away.I will say the chicken was very tender. They only thing I personally didn't care for is it had too much thyme in it. Thyme is a pretty powerful herb and in something like a lemon dish can take over. For me, it did. But, I did tolerate it and ate all the chicken. The red sauce on the pasta was not my favorite but I do prefer chunky style pasta sauce with lots of wine so its just a preference.Hubby said his chicken was overall good but did have some tough spots. He wasn't crazy for the sauce either.All in all, it was OK, but I wouldn't put it on my repeat list.

I stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner after walking the lake and overall glad that I did. There was actually a decent amount of people inside for 3:30 p.m. so I can imagine they get very busy during dinner service. Atmosphere was a bit loud but overall good.My waitress was attentive enough without being over-bearing. She brought drinks and bread over quickly; the martini was PERFECT however the bread was just okay. The bread would have been better if it was served warm but that's fine.I ordered the fettuccini alfredo with chicken and broccoli. It was a decent size portion and everything was cooked well although the chicken was a little bland. Their alfredo sauce had good flavor without being too heavy, and I think they added the perfect amount of sauce to the dish. I personally don't like when the pasta is drowning in sauce so I was pleased with this.

The food was ok. The service was horrible. The waitress was MIA for most of the night. We arrived at 7:40 ish and after dinner we were told that the kitchen was closed and there would be no dessert. I feel that she should have come earlier to ask if anyone wanted anything but she seemed to busy playing on her phone. With so many great places in the area I would suggest trying another establishment.

Food and waitstaff are great!! Only downside is it's very loud. Great that they have gluten free pasta ad most dishes can be made gluten free!

We recently had a Baby Sprinkle luncheon party for my youngest daughter at Sabatinos. We were treated like family. Our waitress, Joanna and our bartender, Joe were very attentive and made sure all 14 women were happy with our meals. The food was delicious and the lunch menu choices had something for everyone. The lunch size entrees were just the right size. We highly recommend this restaurant for large family gatherings as well a nice cozy dinners with friends.Thank you Sabatinos for a perfect day.

Never ever order takeout here. This is the SECOND time they forgot to put in my order when I called at lunchtime. The first time was about 8 months ago. It took me this long to give them another try. When I arrived 20 minutes later, the waitress/hostess declared that she forgot to put in my order and that it would be 15 minutes. When I said I couldn't wait and began walking out she became incredulous saying that she "just made a mistake" because "it got busy." Yet, when I arrived she was sitting at a table doing roll-ups. I was of course annoyed that I now had no lunch, and normally would not even write a review (this is the first review I have ever left for any business) as I understand mistakes happen, but this being the second time this occurred and the hostess/waitress being defensive and incredulous that i could not wait 15 minutes for the order is just unacceptable. I placed the order around 1:00 pm on a Thursday (a work day). I could not wait because I had a work meeting to attend, which working the lunch shift at a restaurant during the work week should not be a foreign concept to her. Her reaction coupled with this being the second time this happened leads me to believe this is a systems/operational issue. Do better Sabatino's. If you can't handle takeout at lunch, then don't offer it.

Great food at reasonable price but the bread can be stale and the alcoholic beverage are inconsistent and the place can get loud

We ordered take-out and everything came steaming hot. The lasagna and veal parmigiana were delicious which my husband and I ordered to split so we could each have some of both. My half was enough for three meals for me. The lasagna was even better heated up the next day for lunch and then again for supper. Have passed this place a zillion times and had no idea how good the food is. Will definitely be back.
