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!!!

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 side of anchovies- 4 (many leaves were old)
Calamari Fritti – 5 (big chunks and even had deep fried jalapeños and lemons in it! )
Spaghetti Vongole -3 (buttery and very garlicky which is good but needs cheese or something and be wary of the broken clam shells)
Spaghetti Carbonara – 4 (pretty good flavor)
Pollo Parmiggiana – 3 ( big piece of chicken was moist but this was not my fave)
Salmone Alla Griglia – 4 (salmon was cooked perfectly)

Everything was ok. Service is very friendly but too slow service for me or I was hungry. LOL. This place is more for someone not hungry but for a good sit down that you want to talk and take your time; like on a date, business date or friends catch ups.

We didn’t get to try their Lava cake and Tiramisu. Would have loved to taste it but felt full waiting for service. Too bad.Maybe, next time.

I’ve been here once before and the food and drinks were delicious. I made a reservation for Valentine’s Day, and they were completely swamped. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table. I think they overbooked, and everyone looked overwhelmed. I tried ordering a drink, but our waitress said it wasn’t on the drink menu, which I was never given. The drink was, in fact, on the menu, but I had to wait 20 minutes. It was hard to get a hold of the waitress because she was waiting on a lot of people. The pasta was undercooked and didn’t taste great. The calamari and meatballs were good, I will give them that. I think this was an off day and will come back again.
