Sapore di Mare Italian Seafood - Coconut Grove

"Amazing Restaurant with such a fantastic staff. They served us very tasty food when they were almost about to close. The food was also very tasty and freshly done. Welcoming attitude beyond the working hours made this restaurant special, in fact entire crew was happy to explain the menu in detail and suggested choices based on preference. Excellent place and well recommended"

"Was really looking forward to dining here on our weekend away for Valentine’s Day. We made a reservation on open table and the staff was kind enough to modify it as we were running late. We arrived and service started out good. Our apps were not bad, the salad with raw mushrooms is just weird but squash blossoms app is delicious. My pasta entree which is named after the restaurant (so I assumed it was the best) had dry stuck together pasta that was dry and sauceless and lacked any cooking technique or seasoning. The calamari was rubbery. The shrimp was pretty good which was great because I had to give some of it to my partner whose squid ink pasta with scallops came with only two small scallops. Our server was very sweet but overwhelmed and I had to ask for water and still didn’t have any when we left. I saw her tell the manager about us not being happy with our meals and he proceeded to talk to other tables around us and avoid ours like the plague! I have worked in the hospitality industry for 30 years and I know things happen, but as a manager you need to talk to ALL tables. We were not looking for a free meal but wanted to let someone know of our experience. Our server did comp our 2 glasses of wine and apologized. She was more of a leader in the end than the manager. To add insult to injury, my reservation was cancelled by the restaurant further showing that they have no idea what they’re doing. We definitely won’t be back."

"It's not on the menu, but they serve your pasta out of a wheel of cheese. It's savory and so delicious! The kind of meal you can't help but overindulge in because you can't stop eating! The staff were awesome and on top of their game and the atmosphere is nice. For sure, it's worth the stop!"

"If you are in Coconut Grove, you must try this authentic Italian restaurant. We visited on a Thursday evening for dinner and were seated immediately, we sat outside and had a great evening. When you are seated, you are served bread with olive oil on the table. They offer a very wide variety of wine. Make sure to order Cacio E Pepe. It's not on the menu, but it is pasta tossed in a cheese wheel for $28, my husband and I split this, and we both left full. If you would like to add truffles, it is $38. It is brought you table side, tossed then served. You can come casual or dressy. Very romantic. Must visit. Highly recommend!"
