" Sapore Italian Cafe is a hidden treasure! My friends and I celebrated a graduation there. The atmosphere sets the vibe for an upscale meal—very cozy! All dishes we tried were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the veal parmigiana; it was tender and paired well with a side of delicious spaghetti. The wine selection was excellent, and our waiter even helped us choose the best pairings. It felt like a true Italian dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Sapore several times, and it never disappoints. The food is consistent in quality and flavor, which you can expect from authentic Italian cuisine. Just last week, I had the braised short ribs over polenta, and it was exquisite! The portions are generous, perfect for hearty eaters. The ambiance enhances the dining experience, making it feel special whether I am with family or friends. Highly recommend giving it a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" While dining here was a special experience, I did face some challenges. My dish, the veal, was cooked beautifully, but it was quite salty. The atmosphere felt cozy and charming, almost like… you guessed it, Italy! The service was friendly but could have been more attentive. I would still consider going back for the ambiance and other recommended dishes, as my friend's dinner was superb! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot express how much I love this restaurant! Sapore has been my go-to ever since my first visit. The gnocchi is buttery and melts in your mouth, and the marinara sauce is rich and flavorful. The service is always top-notch; they're friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I also appreciate that they support local ingredients. The ambiance is upscale without being pretentious, making it suitable for casual and special occasions alike. A definite must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my husband's birthday at Sapore and couldn't be more delighted. Lovely ambiance with soft lighting, and the staff provided impeccable service throughout our meal. I indulged in the seafood linguine and my husband had the chicken marsala; both were divine! The dessert was a pleasant surprise, deliciously refreshing and generous in portion. I will definitely make Sapore my regular dining spot moving forward! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great locale for an Italian feast! I enjoyed every bite of the risotto I ordered. A delight to the taste buds with a lovely creamy texture! The atmosphere was conducive to warm and intimate conversations—a great spot for a date night! The only disappointment was in the service time; we waited longer than I would have liked. Nevertheless, I will be returning for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sapore Italian Cafe is a great place if you're craving authentic Italian dishes. However, my recent visit was a bit underwhelming. I had the pasta primavera, and while it was fresh, it lacked seasoning—something I found disappointing given the rave reviews I read. The service, albeit friendly, was a tad slow due to the busy night. Though the atmosphere remains pleasant, I think the kitchen could use a little pick-me-up. I might give it another shot in the future, as I've heard great things from friends. " (*Curated Review*)
