Sapore Italiano Ristorante

"I've been here once before and the food and drinks were delicious. I made a reservation for Valentine's Day, and they were completely swamped. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table. I think they overbooked, and everyone looked overwhelmed. I tried ordering a drink, but our waitress said it wasn't on the drink menu, which I was never given. The drink was, in fact, on the menu, but I had to wait 20 minutes. It was hard to get a hold of the waitress because she was waiting on a lot of people. The pasta was undercooked and didn't taste great. The calamari and meatballs were good, I will give them that. I think this was an off day and will come back again."

"We arrived early for dinner on a Saturday and the bar area was already full. Patrons were constantly moving in and out as there was a family birthday celebration on the upper level. Over the course of the evening, all the tables were occupied in spite of the heavy downpour outside. One could quickly tell that there were a lot of regulars that evening. Our bread and pasta dishes were good. A shared dessert was on the house because our table had to be moved a couple of times to accommodate other patrons’ table configurations. Looking forward to returning soon."

"Small authentic Italian restaurant. Great bar, outdoor seating. Excellent food. Service a bit...deliberate, but nice . Highly recommended."

"The pre meal bread is soft and fluffy. Taste good, we pack all the leave over bread home! Other than the bread, the salmon cook well but bland. Most importantly, the skin is peeled!! The pasta taste well, but the shrimps are small and no shrimp taste. We also order the meat balls. Meat balls are made with too much flour."

"We were walk-ins and they found us a table. The restaurant was very busy and the staff was hustling. We were served bread with a tomato olive oil dip. We asked for butter and got butter. We did not order that much food because we had to drive back to LA and did not want a lot of leftovers. I ordered an Espresso Martini , delicious. For dinner we had the Arancini as an appetizer. My husband had the Capellini Pomodoro. I had the Pappardelle alla Vaccinara (ox tail ragu). Husband had gelato and I had the lemon cake."
