Sapore Italian Cafe

Italian

Paul Buzzetta Executive Chef and Owner says: 'l learned early the heart of Italian cooking is the flavor or sapore. My school of teaching was from the best; my Nonna Elena and Mother Lia. Their philosophy has been carried on in my style of cooking: use simple ingredients and the food will speak for its self. Classic Italian dishes grace the menu but are personalized with my unique touch. Quality and consistency is what you will find with each dish. I would never serve anything short of that. So whether you are looking for a memorable night out or a glass of wine with friends, I am glad that you have chosen Sapore. As in true Italian tradition, I enjoy bringing people together through food.'

The restaurant was dimly lit, music loud and waiter spoke very quietly. We could barely hear him. The food was very good. We did however appreciate that the manager opened the door and greeted us even though we were 15 minutes early.

We love Sapore and dine there fairly often. The food and service are always superior, but occasionally there's a table of loud people that completely ruin the atmosphere. Since it's a small place, I think it would help if they opened up the upstairs so that people could go up there if they wanted to have some peace and enjoy the ambience. Otherwise, perfect, we love it!

Lets start with Fazio's bread dipped in olive oil & balsamic vinegar - so good! I had beef tips with eggplant, tomato & mozzarella that was cooked perfect as were the fresh vegetables. Tasty combination. My friend had veal tortalini in a sherry sauce that was also excellent.

We have eaten at Sapore a few times before, and have considered it a favorite restaurant to bring friends. However, this time was definitely disappointing: My chicken was not tender. though my companions enjoyed their food. However, it was the attitude of our waiter, Lloyd, which was unacceptable. He was arrogant, condescending. One example: after waiting, we asked for bread: he told us that the busgirl would bring it. We continued to wait, and eventually, Lloyd brought the bread. His unpleasantness did effect our experience. However, the food is good, the atmosphere pleasant, particularly outside if weather permits, and we would try Sapore again, requesting another waiter if necessary.

A week ago our party of 6 people -- having called 5 days in advance for reservations -- were told that there was no reservations on their books, it was crowded and there was no table for us. We were sent away without an apology, an offer to come back with a free dessert or something, and we left with a feeling of "I"ll never go back there again". Because we had the coupon, 3 of us did go back last night (with reservations, and another phone call to confirm before we left the house. Food and service was excellent, but wouldn't it lovely if that woman who sent us away a week ago was capable of smiling or being more than barely civil? We have more coupons, and will go back.
