Mike and I had seen this place when we went to the French restaurant Cafe Provencal. They are in the same sort of strip mall. Both have very nice outdoor dining. They seem to both get the same sort of clientele (50+ Kirkwood type of people).
Sapore was good Italian. I found their menu limited. They didn't have some of the traditional things like spaghetti with meatballs. They were heavy on seafood. I love seafood, but when I try a new Italian restaurant, I usually try something with a red sauce, to compare it to other Italian restaurants.
Mike and I did start with the fried artichoke hearts. They are breaded, fried and top with prosciutto and cheese. They were hot and yummy. I forgot to take the photo until there was only 1 left.
I will give this restaurant props for their wine list. It isn't extensive (but some places (like Annie Gunns) it is TOO big to even read), but the wines are very reasonably priced. I do wish they'd publish it online, with their menu, so diners can do wine research before visiting the restaurant.
We ordered an old favorite, a Valpolicella. It was very nice.
For supper I had the Linguini with seafood. It was in a white wine sauce. It was very good. Sometimes there is too much butter/oil mixed in the sauce. This was light and yummy. It let the seafood taste come through.
Mike had the jumbo shrimp dinner. The shrimp were good, but his dinner was just OK, overall. The veggies on the side were fine, but kind of boring. It would have been better with a side of risotto or pasta.
I would totally go back to this place, but I would be prepared to eat seafood.
