Sapore Italiano Ristorante

Food quality has dropped a lot. Stuffed zucchini blossoms filled with heavy mozzarella and covered in heavy donut batter. Should be filled with light ricotta and dipped in light/thin batter. Ravioli was cooked with BOTH browned butter and sage AND tomato sauce. Should be only one or the other. Used to be much better.

Found this authentic Italian restaurant in downtown Burlingame. Love this area but the street parking is difficult. We got lucky and a free space was there for us in front of the restaurant. This is a very narrow restaurant with 2nd floor dinning probably for private parties. There are two outside tables as well. There is also bar seating. You can tell the customers here were long time customers but all older. Seems this is also a favorite of business people but I would think it would be difficult to talk business as it can be loud inside. We didn’t have reservations for a Thursday evening and were still able to get seated. It was pretty full. Loved the free bread with garlicky red sauce. There were four of us so we were able to try each other’s food. House Pinot Noir - 5 Cesare with s

I hadn’t been to Sapore since I was a kid, so I didn’t have much memory of it, but I ordered DoorDash for the family today and everything was absolutely delicious. Even the bread was great, which I feel like says a lot about a place. We ordered the gnocchi al Gorgonzola, spaghetti Bolognese, and tiramisu, and every dish was fantastic. The gnocchi was rich and comforting, the Bolognese was flavorful, and the tiramisu was the perfect dessert to finish everything off. I’ll definitely be returning, and I’m interested to check out their lunch special in person sometime soon. Delish delish delish!!!

Went here for Valentine's Day dinner and the place was hopping. I made a reservation but it didn't much matter. They were seating people quickly and efficiently. This was probably our 4th time at this restaurant over the past 4 years. We definitely reserve it for special occasions and we're never disappointed. I had the short ribs with polenta and I brought some home and added a fried egg to it for breakfast and it was as so good. My husband had the salmon again and loved it. I think I'll try the chicken parmigiana next time. We had the lemoncello torte for dessert. It was a $245 bill (that includes 4 alcoholic beverages) but like I said we reserve this place for special occasions.

Sapore Italiano Ristorante has the best deal in town. They have a lunch buffet for $9.99. With inflation, those deal aren’t really around anymore. The selection wasn’t huge, but it was a decent and delicious enough of a deal. There were 2 different pastas, salad, bread and fish. Enough to fill you up. We also ordered a special arugula, prosciutto and fresh mozzarella pizza. My friend is a regular and ordered off menu. Food is fresh, delicious and service was wonderful. Great family vibes and friendly service.
