Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The garlic bread selection is a crowd favorite, and every bit worth trying before diving into the main courses. Lobster Ravioli steals attention with its rich flavor and creamy sauce—the perfect blend of luxury and comfort food. Diners rave about the decadence of the tiramisu, which rounds off meals beautifully. The casual, cozy vibe enhances the experience.
Excellent service remains a highlight, even during busy hours. The staff’s friendliness is a consistent compliment. The extensive wine list also impresses, catering to every taste. Pizza lovers can find the thin crust options exceptionally satisfying, whether opting for a classic Margherita or something spicier.
Most Disliked
Some diners express disappointment about the limited vegetarian options, urging for more variety on the menu. Busy evenings may lead to slightly longer wait times for food during peak hours, so planning is wise. While the atmosphere is lively, a few visitors mention it can get a bit noisy, especially when groups gather for celebrations. Others wish for more options regarding gluten-free meals, reflecting a community need for diverse dietary options that cater to everyone.
The restaurant’s popularity means sometimes reservations are needed, which may pose a challenge for walk-ins. But amid such a bustling vibe, the restaurant retains its attitude of welcoming all.

Excellent service, stunning restraunt, food was amazing and the lady serving us was polite, attentive, professional- an asset to the restraunt. Attended on a Wednesday evening, would recommend booking a table as it soon filled up, but even though busy, service remained a high standard. Would/will recommend to friends and family.

Discovered this place last night and it was well worth a drive out in the rain. Stunning food (the asparagus starter was incredible), lovely decor and absolutely incredible service from the friendly staff. This is a family run restaurant and you can tell the whole team care about every detail, from the greeting at the door right down to the mint tea at the end! A great experience, will definitely be back.

This is our second time visiting here. The team of Eris, Alei and Leonardo are so helpful and friendly - excellent service. The mushroom risotto is very delicious, the best I have in Manchester. The Carbonara is very creamy and served at just the right warm temperature and al dente as well. Their garlic bread is a must try and we had tomato and cheese half-half. Will definitely be back soon

Sapori is a fantastic local family run Italian restaurant, we visited as a couple and we found the surroundings to be really comfortable and the decor to be really tasteful and inviting. The food was delicious. Perhaps the best part is the Service which was very very friendly And inviting. Will definitely be a regular from now on!

I feel like when one does a review, you need to look for anything to complain about; to be petty. I would struggle here. I honestly can say I thoroughly enjoyed my meal which was served on time. The wait time was not long - approximately 15 minutes from sit down to starter with cocktails delivered within that window. Even though there was one server on site at the time, I didn't feel like we were ignored at all. She was always visible, checking to ensure we were happy with the meal. When we had a query about a meal that was not to our liking she assured us we can change and asked for feedback for the chef. However, I will say one thing you must do if you go here. Ask for the pork in BBQ sauce; it is amazing. It was sweet and sticky without being overpoweringly so. The music was relaxing; the decor inviting and clean; and a ready smile from both the server on hand and the host. I will be making this a repeat spot for me and mine.
