Friends in Newport and Lido Island recommended Sapori as a popular locals spot for a casual dinner. We made an early reservation including out of town guests visiting for a family wedding. Travel issues occurred and two guests out of a party of twelve were unable to join us .The hostess was exceptionally rude, chastised us repeatedly and told us she could have used the table for another party.We offered to wait if the staff wanted to rearrange the table and remove a table for two from our combined seating arrangement. We were told it was too late, and it would have been nice if we could have let them know earlier. The restaurant at 5:45 was not crowded.. Our table was in a dark corner near the kitchen doors. As the hostess, I was embarrassed and offended. Our waiter was very cordial and professional, the dinners were fine, but I would never return.

This place is very good! Tried both the pizza side and the fine dining restaurant both are amazing! The staff has always been attentive, very good homemade bread and the food is great!! The pizzas are made right in front of you in a brick oven!! I added salmon to my pear salad, I loved it!!

Sapori is a hidden gem for Italian food in Newport Beach. The food is delicious with really generous portions. I don’t think there was anything I disliked and the prices are very reasonable.

Dined here during travel for work and was on my own. I was seated between the front door and restroom on a cold day. The cold air blew in every time someone opened the door, and when it was closed it smelled like I was seated IN the restroom. I was generally ignored by wait staff. Food was decent for the price.

Pasta tasted really salty and sausage tasted awful as well. And the attitude of the server was really arrogant and blamed it to our palette. Definitely one of the worst dining experience I ever had.

I enjoyed it and I’m picky about Italian food, I live on the East coast with plenty of homemade pasta and I have to say this was great. I’d definitely go back. Nice atmosphere and food choices. I had the swordfish off the specials menu and it was perfect. The pasta and meatballs were also very good. Sweet place, a good choice.

I’m done with this place. Went here for 2 years during the pandemic and over 20 times means nothing to the boomer hostess. Service was always subpar here. Waiters were looking at me like the Gestapo standing behind them would fire them if they tried to help so shrugged their shoulders “sorry.” I get more accomodations at the food court. Zero respect or concern for my family of four. Instead of walking here I will drive out of my way now to a much better place in Foretti’s CDM-best meatballs in the world. Shame on Sapori ownership.
