Sapori Italian Restaurant INC

I don't normally frequent Italian restaurants. Somehow I always associate Pizzas and Lasagna with Italian restaurants in general , foods that I don't normally eat. I was surprised how broad the menu in this restaurant was even at lunchtime. Lots of sea food items which I like. Nice lunch experience overall. Will definitely go back to this restaurant.

Was in Virginia for wedding & needed a place to eat while other family members were at another dinner. At the suggestion of the bride we decided to try Sapori. I found the dining area rather loud as there was a singer and a guitar player. Just lowering the volume a smidge would have made dinner conversation possible. The food was good...swordfish was a little weird w/ tomatoes and raisins for...

Several items on the menu were a disappointment. We believe the clams are responsible for two in our party of 10 getting sick. We also ordered tiramisu, which came almost hot, and as soon as you put your fork to it, something resembling raw egg oozed out of the top. I must say the zucchini appetizer was very good, but...

This is a hidden gem! The food was beyond wonderful. We all ordered something different and ate family style. We had nocci ribeye chicken pizza and topped it if with tiramisu. And they will make it to order. This is not your mom and dads spaghetti in the pan meals, this is real food not frozen. The dining is very chic, but the prices are VERY reasonable.

Have eaten in the other 2 "Italian" restaurants in the Chester area, and this is the best of the bunch. More authentic than the others in menu and taste. The arancini were large and lightly crunchy, with an accompanying meat sauce that was as good as my mother's. The eggplant rollatini was extremely thin (nearly non-existent) slices of eggplant surrounding...
