Sapori

Friend and I went tonight after we decided on pasta. This place is phenomenal, you must go. The lamb and rigatoni are as made perfectly. The cheesy sourdough bread was so good we didn't have enough room for our dinner. My friend chicken Parmesan was hand breaded, flavorful and tender.Ambiance is warm and cozy and stayed busy the entire time. Was a treat to meet the sweet owner. Will above back to try other meals that peaked my interest.

Wow! We were anxious to try this spot since we loved Tucci's -- color us impressed! We walked in with no reservation and the place was packed! Our wait time was minimal and the owner was taking drink orders, which I love to see. Also, while we waited, they gave us menus to peruse. One, gave us something to do and two, helps speed up service/table flip time since we (pretty much) knew what we wanted when we were seated. We were seated at a table in the corner on the window-side of the restaurant-- great spot but a bit chilly even though we weren't in front of the window! We both sat facing the restaurant so we could take it all in. After talking through the updated tables and placement, paint colors and lighting, we conclude they really thought everything through! Our server was wonderful -- timely but not hovering, and gave great suggestions. Upon being sat, we were presented with complimentary bruschetta. Although it looked like there was less greenery than the original Tucci's version, it was just as great! Three of our toasts were super solid. The one that had a little chew, we shared. Yummy!!We ordered the Saffron Arancini for appetizer - whoa. We weren't sure what to expect but it's the perfect fusion of Mediterranean and Italian. The creamy yogurt sauce with a hint of tartness paired magically with the warm decadence of the arancini crispness and filling. Add the brightness of the cucumber and heirloom tomatoes - delizioso!Up next, we split a side Sapori salad with the classic Tucci's lemonade dressing. Let me tell you: I wish I could buy this dressing. If you're not into tangy/tart things, this is not for you. However, highly recommend. For our entrees, we had the three-cheese ravioli with salmon and the penne a la vodka with grilled chicken. Ravioli: massive round pillows with a delicious, creamy cheese blend. The sauce is very good, with an added bonus of capers. Would have liked the option of shredded parm here! The shrimp were okay - one of them was slightly undercooked. Penne: well-cooked pasta, same sauce as the ravioli. Lots of parm added in the kitchen. The chicken was good. I wished it would be come at least pre-sliced -- I had to transfer it to a plate to cut. I get the risk of losing moisture, but if it has rested for a minute, the quick slice and deliver could work? :-)We also ordered a side of broccolini - it was good but we don't think it was grilled. For dessert, we tried the special, carrot cake. Presentation was great but we were a tad disappointed. The cake was a bit tough and dry. It was overpowered a bit by the sweet buttercream on top. There was a cream cheese icing in the center that was yummy -- I would have used that on the top, too! In our eyes, if you order carrot cake, you're not going to something super sweet? Overall, I give our visit a 9.2 -- we will ABSOLUTELY be back. Bravo, Sapori team!

I was very excited to try out this restaurant. The space is cute and they have a great location. The bruschetta we were given had very stale crostini. Next our appetizers arrived separately. The cheese on the garlic cheese bread was cold (not even room temp) and the arancini were different flavors - unsure if that's intentional or not. My Caesar salad (which was good) arrived but then a few moments later my salmon piccata arrived. I will say the salmon portion was very generous. Pasta sauce split on husband's carbonara and the pancetta weren't cooked. Scallop risotto was a miss as the dish was two dollops of risotto and scallops on the side. For $8 they give you four very small carrots that weren't cooked well and had no flavor. Chop salad was good, the kale was tender and had a lot of flavor. Swing and a miss for us. Hopefully they can get their ducks in a row.

Excellent experience at Sapori. We were excited to try it after the renovations to Tucci's and the updated menu. Lamb ragu and chicken parm were great, as well as both the Caesar and Sapori salad. Started with the saffron arancini, which were outstanding. We are looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu. Our server Jewel did a great job and the service was all excellent.

Amazing food, service, clean kitchen and dining room. Their Chicken Piccata was the best ever. Ask for Al and he will take super good care of you. I highly recommend. Be sure to make reservation. it's a must. They always fill up.

First thing noticed when I walked in was the space felt surprisingly fresh and charming. The new owners have created an inviting Italian vibe with nods to history & local landmarks. Staff was hospitable and responsive. Sunday brunch was a delicious retreat before taking on the day. Coffee. Eat the Classic breakfast. More Coffee. All good.

Make reservations! We were supposed to be seated at the bar but someone walked in and took our spot. That's okay, because we had a wonderful time talking with the owner Al. He made sure we had a glass of wine while we waited for our table. The food was amazing. We had the penne alla vodka and lasagna. I would highly recommend them both, but really enjoyed the lasagna. The desserts looked wonderful but we were too full to try any. Vivian was our waitress and she did a great job making sure we were able to relax and enjoy our date night. Al kept checking in on all the guests throughout the evening. He truly wanted to make sure everyone had an enjoyable experience. Go...enjoy!

The food was average and service was fine, but the bathroom door jammed and left one member of our party locked in the bathroom. Luckily we sat close enough to hear them banging and yelling for help, and our server seemed like this happens often. The manager/owner and server were super rude when they got the door open, leaving our party really put off. GET YOUR DOOR FIXED.

we sat at the bar which is nice and cozy. i started with an aperol spritz and my partner had a Pinot noir. they brought complimentary bruschetta and it was good! for appetizer, we had meatballs - they were okay but could have used more flavor. the marinara and bread were tasty! I continued with a ChiantI and for entrees, we had sea bass Milanese and scallop dishes. Both were exceptional. the risotto could have been cooked a little more but tasted great. we ended dinner with a chocolate martini and a glass of pinto noir. I would recommend Sapori. I want to return and try more. they started offering brunch today.

The perfect place to enjoy friends, have a date night, or just an incredible dinner. Fabulous lunch or dinner and fabulous cocktails!
