Sapori Italian Restaurant

Would give no stars if I could. The bread they bring out is dry and hard. The pasta was okay at best but my husband liked it so he wanted to come again. Came one evening at 8:30 they refused to seat us saying that they were closing. Despite the fact that online says they close at 10pm. We tired coming again this evening and called ahead of time asking when they seat the last customer. We were told 9:30pm. We show up at 8:30 again and still were turned away. Go at your own risk

Sapori will always be my FAVORITE Italian place to go!!! Taste is guaranteed. Vibe is right on point. But more so, again, friendliness of the owner is something that you will definitely want to experience. The boss man is the coolest and friendliest person you can ever meet! His thick Italian accent first gets you think “okay he knows what he’s talking about here.” Then he will take time to explain all of dishes and recommend dishes! And, most importantly, if you are a wine lover, this place is THE PLACE to go. All of their wine choices are top notch classics and you will not be disappointed! My colleague who spent his almost entire life in Europe as a business man visited here with me. He saw the list. And he fell in love with Sapori. MUST VISIT AT ALL COST!!!

I enjoyed my visit but have a few comments: 1) ambiance is great and the main reason to come. On one side ballona wetlands and on the other side a great view of harbor. 2) service is great and attentive. Not much crowd post covid on a weekday. 3) The food quality was my main qualm. The seafood is so overcooked it tastes like rubber. Portion size is good if you like the taste. Baked eggplant appetizer was good but spaghetti with seafood and the prawn dish both left much to be desired.

Sapori was a wonderful, beautiful place to eat. The food was delicious. I was specifically touched by the level of service and the staff's kindness. I had a migraine and began to get really sick. When the staff saw me not looking so great they offered to bag everything up for me and get my check right away so I could hurry and go home. They showed genuine concern and kindness. I really appreciated that. I'll definitely be going back on a night when I'm feeling better! ;)
