THE best meals ( the first visit was so good we went back the next night - something we never do!) that we had is San Jose! Truly authentic Italian cuisine - the best we have outside of Italian and better some we have had in Italy! The staff are wonderful and added to the whole experience - Alex was our waiter on the first night and Jimmy ( he said not his real name but but he’s known as Jimmy because it’s easier than his real Albania name ) both lovely fellas who really wanted to ensure we had a lovely evening, which we did! We can happily and confidentially recommend Sapore Trattoria.

Great classic Italian dishes but the Pizza is the star. Their Pizza chef is a native Italian who has lived in CR for more then 30 years. He is truly an artisan, extraordinary pizza, super thin and crispy dough and wonderful ingredients. The Corvina with citrus sauce was phenomenal.

We didn't expect to find good Italian food in Coasta Rica, but were were certainly wrong. This place was excellent-we shared a five-pasta tasting cuisine and a glass of wine. The attention to detail was noticeable. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

The food was really something else. Fresh, homemade pasta made perfectly, and a cessation salad served in a parmesan bowl. PERFECTION. The salad was definitely on the anchovy heavy end of the flavor scale, perfect for me. I had heard that there was something that was tossed in a giant parm wheel maybe table-side? I saw no evidence of that but we also didn’t ask. The wine was okay, the service was 10/10.

Poor imitation of a real Trattoria, mediocre food (risotto completely overcooked and tasteless, tomato on the carpaccio), had to send back the glass of housewine. Centrally located and open on a Sunday evening, which is a plus in San José.

WIfi was not working (which caused me a problem ordering an Uber back to my hotel), the food was good but a little cold, draft beer which was on the map was unavailable and the manager was hectic running around instead of managing his team and be attentive for his customers. However, ambiance was very good, they tried to make the food exceptional (it's not there yet) and staff was friendly
