Sapori Trattoria

Davvero ottimo, sembra di essere in Italia!

One of the few restaurants where you really feel like you are in Italy, very good

Sapori Trattoria is such a special place! Went on a Saturday at 8:00pm and had no wait. The service was extremely friendly and hospitable, making us feel welcome from the time we sat down to the time we left.

We ordered the appetizer on special - similar to Brie cheese wrapped with speck - and mussels. I could have drank the broth that the mussels were bathed in.

For entrees, we ordered the gnocchi and pasta special - butternut squash, speck, and truffle cheese. Both were delicious!

But the star that really shined was the mascarpone cheesecake! I will go back just for dessert and I am the further thing from a dessert person.

We have been to Sapori multiple times and they never disappoint! From the moment you enter into the restaurant you are greeted with warm smiles and the friendliest staff. They start you with bread and their olive oil mixture, which is extremely good! We ordered the calamari appetizer, which was lightly breaded and very light. For dinner, I ordered the risotto that had shrimp, clams, mussels and calamari. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavor of the dish was very good as well. My boyfriend had fettuccini with shrimp and tomatoes in a rose sauce, which was very good as well. We loved the atmosphere, food, and service! We will be back soon!

Fantastic meal here the other night. Service was wonderful and very friendly. Didn't rush us at all even though it was getting close to closing time.
Food was on another level. Highly recommend

It's now been over 20 years and MasterChef Franco Lombardo still presents the finest of Italian cuisine. These are traditional dishes of Italy that burst with flavor, are prepared, perfectly, and presented in the most attractive manner. We have dined here, at least weekly, since the restaurant opened. We have never been disappointed, indeed, each visit has provided us with a wonderful experience. Starting with Franco himself , who still retains his duties as chef, and manages to mingle with the guests every evening, it's terrific being here. We've never seen anyone who wasn't thrilled with the dinner experience at Sapori. The room and staff are superb also.

This place is pretty special. Very authentic Italian food with a great Italy vibe. The best part of the meal was dessert. We got the cheesecake and it might have been the best cheesecake I've ever had. Service is great and waiters come around often. I definitely recommend a try.

After a long day of driving back from a one-night getaway, I spontaneously dragged my partner here while walking around the Haddon Ave. Crafts and Fine Arts Festival. Although we did not have a reservation, the friendly host (and I believe owner?) found a table for us. My partner was floored -- Sapori has been on his list for a while, but we never went because we thought we needed reservations.

There were five specials available and we got one: the squash blossom appetizer. It was supposed to be stuffed with mozzarella and proscuitto, but we only tasted the proscuitto. It was also a bit oily (our guess is either from it being fried in a vat of oil, or from the heat causing the oil in the proscuitto to come out) and salty, but we were still satisfied and the pesto dipping sauce was an absolute winner. I'd buy a jar of that if they sold it in stores.

For primi and secondi, we got the casarecce con zucca and scaloppine di vitello. In my pictures, they are half-portions because I split them with my partner, i.e. the portions here are incredibly generous. We both enjoyed the casarecce con zucca; although, warning for the lactose-intolerant: it's VERY cheesy. The scaloppine di vitello was a bit confusing though. The veal was a bit tough and the fig/mushroom/sauce combo (at least for me!) was better on paper than on my plate.

All that said, everyone has different tastes and maybe the scaloppine di vitello just wasn't for us! We'll order different dishes the next time we go, but there definitely will be a next time because the service was phenomenal. Specifically, the backservers and runners were on top of things. After taking our order, our server didn't check in on us until he brought the check (which we asked a backserver for) but everyone else was available and so wonderfully helpful. That's not to say the server was bad, just that the "kids" were rockstars!

Great Italian food and the atmosphere was charming. Went pre-concert with friends and all enjoyed it!

What a great place. Food outstanding. James gave great recommendation and amazing service. Owner stopped at table and shared his story. Thank you for a great night.

Food was good but sat at 7:20 and dinner came out at 8:30. Place was pretty slow for a Friday too. No real apology or explanation. Was not impressed. 2 entrees and 2 ice teas $101 with tip. All other tables got a complimentary dessert liquore type drink but we were never offered. I would have liked to try dessert but it was so late and we had been sitting there so long I couldn't be bothered.
Really wanted it to be better!
