Overall, the best restaurant I’ve been to since moving to Chicago. The appetizers were phenomenal, the main courses felt a little short, but still we’re good . And I did notice that they forgot to give us our onion soup and sparkling water we ordered

Atmosphere/ambience at 5pm was quiet and uncrowded. By 6:30 conversations turned louder but was understandable as tables near us filled with patrons. There was an air of true joy around us, everyone was glad to be there. The Bucatini Carbonara was superbly prepared with generous flavors of bacon, egg, onion and more! The Tiramisu was perfect with coffee or tea. Always a great meal at Sapori Trattoria!
