Sapori Trattoria

Went for my bday dinner and the service was very slow. They seemed to be very short staffed and also it was SOOO hot in the restaurant we were all sweating. The second we paid we ran outside to get fresh air. It was way too warm outside to not have the a/c on in a restaurant full of warm bodies.

This was the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to in Chicago. I brought my Italian family and we were all thrilled with the service and the food. Even eating the left overs I could not believe how good they were. I already can’t want to go back.

lasagna is the best..would love to order new things but just cannot pass up the lasagne...the salads are great and the minestrone is decadently delicious!!! my husband is gluten intolerant...many items accomodate this allergy and their gluten free pasta is excellent

Very good in all respects. 10.00 corkage 👍
A bit noisy, but fun.

The food was excellent and the staff friendly and accommodating. Portions were large and several of us took home part of our meal and enjoyed it the next day! Would go back again for sure.

The food was exceptional! The food was exquisite and so tasty. We had the calamari Fritti, lobster ravioli, ribs and the pumpkin appetizer. Everything was so delicious! We also had the pumpkin martini which was so good! The service was great, but the negative was that I made a reservation for 7:30 pm and when I got there they told me I needed to wait 20mins, we didn’t get seated until 8:30pm. What’s the point on making a reservation? I should’ve just walked in.

Incredible meal while visiting Chicago—impeccable service, to-die-floor food; and an unavoidable vibe of authenticity. Highly recommend!

Very authentic Italian food. Staff is very friendly. Ricardo is always very welcoming an attentive. Definitely a must-try if you like Italian.

Excellent food
Nice but slow service

Sapori never disappoints. Great food, reasonable prices and a fantastic place to spend time with people you love

Service was a bit slow but the food was phenomenal! Huge portions and delicious pasta.

The service was amazing - the restaurant was very crowded but the staff was super attentive. The food was delicious - our table ordered a huge variety of food, and it was all superb!

Absolutely wonderful!!

Outstanding meal and service. We started with the seasonal appetizer. A small pumpkin filled with mild Italian sausage and herbs with carmelized nuts on the side. Very tasty and presentable. Stella salad with honey mustard was wonderful and portion so generous we split it. We followed that with their osso buco which was served over lasagna. The meat was very tender! Wish we had room for dessert because we’re sure it would have been amazing.

This is a great place. Go here. Fantastic food. Can't recommend it enough.

My guest, the birthday girl, commented on the lack of decor . We sat in one of the small rooms because they were ready for big groups in the main rooms. The room was grey...nothing on the walls, nothing on the tables...drab...and despite the fact that in my reservation I had stated that it was a birthday celebration that fact was totally ignored. I had the Osso Buco as in previous occasions and this time it was different...runny pasta under the meat (not the mini lasagna as stated in the menu). She had a sea food/spaghetti dish ... the spaghetti had very little sauce (she barely ate it). Maybe it was a very busy night for the kitchen...service was good. The burrata appetizer was good.

I booked a table for 5 for my mother’s 60th birthday dinner and was so impressed when they called to ask her name, so that they could print special menu’s. The appetizers and pasta were very good and fresh. Unfortunately, our server was overtly rude, in particular to my mom, and not very well trained. Notably, all of us at the table have worked in the service industry for years and we are very mindful of all that waiters have going on and all they have to deal with. This waiter kept spilling water from the water pitcher all over our appetizers, and had no idea that he was doing it. The plate of bruschetta had an actual puddle at the bottom of it. He kept reaching over everyone’s food and bodies to refill water glasses, until we eventually pointed out the mess and he was obviously offended by our bringing it up. He raced away in a huff. Separately, 3 other tables were there for a birthday and were brought a tiramisu dish with a candle accompanied by song. We waited and waited after our dinner plates had been cleared away until he finally brought the celebratory tiramisu, but dropped it off in a brisk silence with no candle. He knew it was a 60th birthday, he started the meal initially by wishing her a happy birthday. We caught his eye a couple minutes later and asked for a candle, so we could sing to my mom — he was visibly and audibly furious. We were shocked and the evening was tainted by this profoundly disappointing service on an evening that had the makings of an otherwise enjoyable night. All because we asked him to please not spill puddles of water onto our appetizers....

Great!!! Food was amazing. Large portions.
Ambience was great too!
Service was amazing

All around incredible experience. From the moment we walked in jokes were cracked and the staff was delightful. Great unique recommendations were made, and the food was scrumptious. We were all so happy that we signed up for the emails, mail and can’t wait to come back!

Always reliably fresh and delicious!

Really amazing and positive experience! Went with my father to celebrate a new promotion and picked it because we had heard great things about it. The service was above and beyond and the food was delicious!

10/10 would go back and recommend to everyone I know!

Sapori Trattoria never disappoints my girlfriend and I. We always seem to come here for special occasions and every time they hit a home run. My girlfriend had the Bucatini Carbonara and I had the Linguini Alle Vongole. Both dishes where outstanding. Both featured homemade pasta and full of fresh ingredients and flavor.

Osso Bucco was excellent, the mushroom risotto wonderful. The entrees came out somewhat late. Our server made it up by giving us a complimentary tiramisu. Thanks!

The foods was very delicious. Our waitress (Miriam?) was so nice, friendly and helpful. Portions are very huge, so come here when you are really hungry 😋

Certain pasta portions were very large, others were much smaller.

If you want an intimate, delicious night out with your friends or lover this is place to be! Every room is SO secluded and cozy. I love Sapori Trattoria.

Pasta was so dry and tasted worse than something I could make.

Our favorite Sunday night date spot !

As always, Sapori gave us a wonderful meal. We got our favorites including the mushroom risotto and the Brussel sprouts salad. This time our server recommended adding sausage to the risotto. It was great. We look forward to our next visit to Sapori!

I went to Sapori Trattoria for my birthday dinner and was not disappointed! :) They made special menus that wished me a happy birthday and the chef came out to check on how everything was. Would definitely dine here again!

We dined a Sapori Trattoria previously. This time we were seated in a very small room behind the main dining room. The lack of decor and a bit of a grungy feeling lessened my experience. I may have preferred being in the main room after all, where on first appearance, it was very noisy. The food was good as was the service.

Food was good, but a little pricey

What an amazing experience! The food was exceptional and the service made my special day, even more special!

I hadn’t been to this restaurant for quite a while. I remember it as being a charming little restaurant. It is no longer that. Well the food and service were fine the restaurant is no longer charming. Brightly lighted and very very noisy. There could be no conversation without screaming. I wish it would go back to the way it was

We had a fabulous experience at Sapori! The food was spectacular and our server (Ernesto) was amazing! We had a great time and will be back soon!!!

Gia our server was excellent and would request her on our next visit. Noise level was high but our sever made the dinner just fine. Food was well prepared and will be going back.

Very nice and food was fantastic.

Always love coming to Sapori Trattiria and was happy to have 10 family members from out of town to enjoy it as well! thanks again and keep up the good food!

thanks-
