"My partner and I are regulars at Sapori because the quality of the experience it offers, food, service and ambiance, is consistently quite high. Consistency is this restaurant’s hallmark. You can reasonably anticipate very well prepared dishes every time, salads, pastas, standard fish and meat dishes, as well as daily specials. The Branzino is as well prepared as you will find anywhere. I love the salads and pastas. The restaurant has the feel of Italy about it, though the portions tend to be much larger. This is a two course, not a three course restaurant. The wine list is authentic and the corkage standard for the area. On balance, I feel this is the best Italian restaurant in the Newport Beach area."
