My husband and I have been enjoying wonderful Italian dining at Sapori for years! I always get my Chicken Parmesan and the best glass of Italian Pino Grigio on the wine list!! For years I also put together a big dinner group during the Christmas Boat Parade for family and friends and then we all walked over to watch the parade on Balboa Island!! Always excellent food and service!! Memories made at Sapori!!

Score for being able to walk in and order a pizza for take away. We had planned to get a nibble from Java before the boat parade but didn't realize they closed quite early, so we only snagged a hot chocolate from there. My husband saw the word "pizza" outside Sapori, and that drew us in. We didn't want a proper sit down meal, but to the left of the main Sapori doors, there is a more casual eatery associated with them. You can also dine in, but we were able to place an order for a pizza that we could enjoy outside. It was ready in about 15 minutes, so that was much appreciated. Pizza was decent - hit the spot before a stroll around Balboa Island. As for the restaurant itself, it looks like there is ample indoor and outdoor seating. Would be a nice date night. 2024: 98/100

Had the pasta with seafood and red sauce. The sauce was enjoyable but not incredible. The pasta was fine. The clams were tasty but two of them were closed (not supposed to eat). The shrimpbin the pasta dish was outstanding. Great place.

My favorite thing about this restaurant was the service! Sweet, sweet girl who showed us such good attention and demonstrated a lot of patience. We sat in the more casual dining side because we wanted pizza. But we were also able to order from the regular dinner menu still. The place was nice, clean and comfortable. The food was yummy and had nice fresh ingredients. For an affordable place to eat near the beach, I would definitely recommend this place.
