    The cutest spot for my friends birthday dinner. The wait for our main entree took a little longer than expected but our waiter was amazing and made up for it! I would highly recommend this delicious Italian restaurant and suggest finishing dinner with the housemade Tiramisu!

    One of our dishes was cold. The 2 risotto dishes were not hot and the fish one lacked flavor. The place was overpriced for some of the pasta dishes. I was disappointed considering some of the high reviews .

    The service was first class, the ambience was authentic in a small intimate setting, the wine glass I ordered could have more plentiful (only 3 oz. was served), however the food was absolutely delicious.

    This restaurant did not have ambiance. The room we were seated in was so loud and cramped and was ridiculously plain. Food was pretty good but wait staff was overly solicitous.

    Went for our anniversary, all of the food items were disappointing, charred octopus was dry (the thickest portion was the only partially tasty piece, leads me to believe the cook time was not controlled well), Gnocchi was tasty but the chicken was horribly over cooked, and the seafood pasta was so salty we couldn’t even eat it. Overall a disappointing experience from a restaurant I had at least moderate expectations for and chose for what should have been a memorable occasion.

    Celebrated my birthday with friends at Sapori Trattoria. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was great! It was a nice touch that the menu had “Happy Birthday” printed on it and the complimentary dessert had a piece of chocolate that also said that. Great atmosphere for a dinner with friends!

    Excellent meal for our family. The three of had Osso Bucco, Gnocchi, and Ravioli and all were outstanding. Tiramisu was a perfect finish for our meal. Service was also great and the only drawback is the seating is very tight.

    Used to be a wonderful neighborhood spot. But now - the food quality has declined and the service is awful. We were overcharged twice - for a half order of salad and again for a half order of pasta. Bread was stale. And the noise level makes it basically impossible to have a conversation while dining.

    Restaurant ambiance and décoré was okay, nothing to write home about. When you walk in it’s pretty crowded, we were shuffled to the bar which I appreciated because there wasn’t much room by the door. After waiting 5-10 past our reservation time we were shuffled upstairs to the very crowded dining room. Not much space to even take off a coat before you’re seated. Once seated we were greeted by our server who was nice but seemed rushed and uninterested the whole night, so much so she forgot our party was celebrating a birthday and said nothing of it the whole time. The food was bland, you could tell that the pasta water wasn’t seasoned at all, however the noodles were cooked nicely. The chicken was pre-cooked, pre-packaged chicken, which was terrible. I wouldn’t recommend this place for food, if you want a glass of wine they have some nice choices. Overall, there are tons of better places to dine than here. Avoid it, and save yourself $120 on some mediocre, bland, soulless, unimaginative pasta dishes and a glass of wine.

    The waiter was great and suggested a really good wine. The salads were good, but bread is better at other places. Pasta with sausage and meatballs was good and a huge portion. The lobster ravioli (don’t know the Itami name). Was a disappointment! Home made pasta was too dense and under cooked. Not Al dente, just not cooked enough. The lobster/shrimp filling was like baby food. After eating a while you got the sea food taste, but didn’t feel like I was eating anything from the sea. The vodka sauce was good and the grilled veggies although mixed into the sauce. The desert was really good but come on $15 for a piece of cake that was COLD not room temperature. Right out of the refrigerator. It was supposed to be bourbon (or some liquor) which you could y taste and raspberries which could have been more. The bill was just over $200 with a 20% tip, 3 people, 1 glass of wine and 1 beer. I am not going back. This is Chicago, can do much better!
