" My whole family loves Italian cuisine, and we were thrilled by our meal at Sapore Express! Each dish we ordered was rich in flavor and made with fresh ingredients. The kids devoured the Ravioli while my husband loved the seafood pasta. Everything was served hot and fresh! The waitstaff was friendly and accommodating, making it even better. Get the dessert – their cannoli is a must! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sapore Express after hearing a lot of hype. I tried their Carbonara and while it was creamy and delicious, I felt it was a bit too rich for my taste. The service was friendly but I did notice a slight wait for the bill at the end. Overall, a decent experience but not quite the best Italian food I've had. I would be open to giving them another try for different dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Sapore Express. The atmosphere was intimate, and the food rivaled my favorite Italian spots in Italy! I ordered their fresh pappardelle with a veal sauce, and it was incredibly rich and tasty. Service was friendly, but they could improve on being a bit quicker with orders. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sapore Express is fantastic! The handmade pasta paired with attention to detail makes for an extraordinary meal every time. I had carbonara that was creamy without being overwhelming, and my friend had the seafood pasta, which was excellent. The atmosphere was casual, but it felt lively. Will certainly recommend this to friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Sapore Express and it did not disappoint. The moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh pasta sets the mood. I had the mushroom risotto and my partner had the Ravioli, and both were phenomenal. The portion sizes were generous enough that we left feeling satisfied without being overstuffed. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual. I can't wait to return to try more dishes from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sapore Express is a delightful spot for lunch. I tried their beet salad, which is fresh and not overly dressed, followed by a generous plate of ravioli. The flavors melded excellently, making for a perfect afternoon treat. The service was adequate but a bit slow during lunch rush, so perhaps timing is key? Regardless, I can understand the hype – I will certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my partner to Sapore Express for a casual dinner, and we had a great time. The intimate setting combined with delicious smells set the tone. The clam pasta was flavorful, and both of us were impressed with the fresh garlic flavor. Our server was amiable and attentive, and she made sure we were happy throughout our meal. We'll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)
