Sapori

Have been going to Sapori for years and headed for it yesterday evening - it's gone! No notices on the windows to say whether it has closed for good, moved or just being refurbished. A great shame!

Visited Sapori very recently before the theatre. The service was absolutely wonderful and the food out of this world - great atmosphere and fantastic front of house staff who made us more than welcome.

Unquestionably my favourite Italian Restaurant in London.

Service is sublime, the choice of wine spot on, atmosphere electric on weekends with buzzing guests.....and most importantly, a firm favourite for London based Italians.

Set menu is typical Italian fare, but you MUST always choose a suberb and wonderful 'Specials Board' option. Best food I have had in ages and as it was my birthday, was treated like a saint.

Will go again, no doubt about it

I agree with another review, this restaurant has definitely gone down hill. The food is not cooked well. They seem to use frozen peppers now. The portions are smaller, but the price has increased! All in all very very poor. For £78 for 2 people there are far better places to eat.

This place has really gone downhill...Everything tasted as though it had come out of a tin, the squid was absolutely tasteless and the potatoes were so overcooked that they fell into little pieces the minute you prodded them with a fork. Very disappointed. Shame, it used to be great pre/post theatre spot.

I we with 5 friends on Sunday evening at 6 pm and the restaurant was empty. We order two pizzas and it took more than 45 minutes to bring them.

I wonder how will they manage it when is full?

Too expensive for what we received.

After having a delightful meal with good service before we decided to go back to Sapori for a meal as we live just around the corner. I was disappointed to find however that the service we received this time was abismal. The waitress gave the impression that she had no time to take our order, quickly rushing off before we had completed the order. On returning with the drinks she placed them down so quickly that I had a splash back of beer. We waited a considerable amount of time (approximately 15-20 minutes)for our dirty plates to be cleared. While then waiting to order our desserts we waited so long that we decided just to pay up and leave as the wait after the dessert to pay was not worth it. Overall a nice meal after work was ruined and I will not be returning to this restaurant again.

Positive reviews led us to Sapori on Friday night. Table was booked in advance, very pleasant welcome from staff. Quickly served with drinks and allowed to linger over the menu so didn't feel rushed at all. Very tasty and generous starters were followed main courses that were, yet again, very generous. Declined dessert as too full! Offered Limoncello on the house, nice touch. Surprisingly reasonable for a London restaurant, will definitely consider returning next time we are in London.

We love Sapori. It's certainly not nouveau cuisine, the portion sizes are a bit too big if anything, and it's definitely not a place to go if you are on a diet. If like us however you enjoy the occasional indulgent meal we recommend it. It's not the cheapest either but competitive for the area. The atmosphere is always good and it's really hard to imagine someone had a curt waitress - the staff are friendly an bubbly and make the place.
