Party of two. One ordered gluten-free spagetti but got spiral pasta and unknown if gluten-free. I ordered seafood risotto. Perhaps the worst single entree I've ever ordred. Rice dry but not crips. Entree dry not creamy. Coldnot bite through scallops or shrimp - shrimp tasted like sawdust. Not just overcooked but seemed like it had been cooked for someone else 2 weeks ago. I asked that the chef try. Manager indicated he did and that "something was wrong with it." Meal comped. Then waitor hit wine bottle and water while walking by. WIne bottle shattered on the floor. I had to call over a waitor to clean up the glass and again to bring some napkins as I was soaked (with water it turned out). Total meal comped. Management did all the appropriate things, but these events should never have unfolded this way at the supposed #1 italian restaurant in Lincoln Parl - a "comedy" (not fo funny) of errors!

We had to wait more than 20 minutes before they sat us at our table. There were people walking in without a reservation being sat before us and it was clear that several other reservations were also not being seated. Once we finally were seated, it took another 30 minutes for anyone to bring water and ask for our drink orders. The entire evening was incredibly unorganized - waiters had no idea who’s tables belonged to who, where food should be going, etc. we had to wait a very long time for each step of the meal. Despite the poor service, the food was delicious.

Went to to the restaurant during the week to celebrate a birthday. I didn't like where the seating was close to their employees door that kept constantly opening and closing, and by another room with a closed black curtain where staff can be seen eating and drinking their meals ( which is fine but I prefer not to be seated where I have that view). Food was very fair, scallops were terrible, calamari to much breading, pasta average. The service was extremely slow and we had to ask for our waiter on multiple occasions. Given the number of Italian restaurant consumers have in the City there are much better establishments than this place. I will not be returning.

We have been visiting Sapori Tratoria since it opened and the quality of the food service ambience has all remained at the very top. Which is why we keep coming back even after we moved out to the suburbs. Wonderful place to go on a date, with friends, or even if you have a group or a group event.

We haven’t been to Sapori in a long time and I was looking forward to a tasty meal and a great bottle of wine. Things started off really well for an early Friday night reservation at 6:15pm. The waitress came over quickly and took our drink orders. Once we decided, we ordered everything at once so that she could space everything out and we could sit back and relax. Our entrees started coming out before our appetizers. I complained to the man that delivered the food to the table. To be fair that man offered to send them back to the kitchen to be remade so that we could wait for our appetizers. That seemed silly to waste the entire table’s food. So I said no. The appetizers came out within minutes. My entree was supposed to come with a small lasagna. I had to ask the waitress for that as it was not visible on the plate. What came to the table was a few lasagna noodles with a bit of cheese and a very small amount of sauce on a plate about the dimensions of a deck of cards, but only about 1/4” tall. It was indeed a small lasagna. We had lots of food on the table at once. The flavor of the food was wonderful, but unfortunately everything was only luke warm. We will give them another chance at some point, but I will order apps first and then wait to order the entrees. Hopefully it was just an off day for the kitchen.

Warm welcome, they confirmed who was celebrating a birthday, the staff was amazing, warm, quick, corteous, and the food was amazing. They brought us birthday moscato and birthday cake. They customized the menu to show the birthday girl's name and she was very surprised and extremely happy. All their attention to detail made the night super special for the birthday girl.

So much has changed for the worse since the new ownership took over. Some of the best items were removed from the menu- lobster ravioli, chicken parm, caprese salad. The staff had my party stand in the “bar area” to wait until our table was ready, but it was really just the dining room and there were about 12 people waiting and essentially hovering over other diners tables since there was nowhere to stand. Finally, we got seated in one of the rooms upstairs and it was the loudest restaurant I’ve ever been in (and I’ve been everywhere in the city). My bf and I are 30 and still have great hearing, but we were forced to scream at each other across the table and still couldn’t understand. We ended up essentially eating without conversation because we physically could not hear each other. For the dish I’ve always ordered, I always swap chicken out for sausage. Instead of the usual crumbled sausage, they gave me a log of a sausage on the plate next to the pasta. Pretty unappetizing and certainly not what I was expecting. It was such a shame, I was really looking forward to this dining experience since Sappori has been my favorite restraint for 8+ years, but I will sadly not be returning.

Sapori Trattoria continues to impress me! This has been, hands down, my favorite Italian restaurant in all of Chicago for over 15 years. Even with the labor shortage and supply chain issues and all the other stuff related to recent world events, Sapori delivered a world-class meal with lovely libations and 5-star customer service. In these uncertain times, I'm comforted to know that there are still establishments like Sapori who continue to rise above the challenges and treat their guests like valued client family members!

The service was great. A perfect date spot, family dinner or group. I was lucky to be in town to enjoy a dinner with my soon to be DePaul graduate daughter. I didn’t realize they have dining upstairs as well as downstairs. We went on a Wednesday and enjoyed 1/2 off wine Wednesday so we ordered a bottle. The food was delicious and even after sharing a pasta dish, we took half home. We will return!

Lauren was very kind and respectful and helped us make a decision on our meal. Unfortunately we were seated at a small table at the top of the stairs, squeezed in among a bunch of other tables. The noise was unbearable between other people shouting and the clanking of bottles at the bar; I could not even communicate with my date. The food was absolutely amazing. In the future if we were to be seated at the same table, I would not stay to eat.
