When I opened my doors in July of 2009, I committed to serving the freshest Italian dishes made from local and seasonal ingredients. I learned early the heart of Italian cooking is the flavor…or sapore. My school of teaching was from the best; my Nonna Elena and Mother Lia. Their philosophy has been carried on in my style of cooking: use simple ingredients and the food will speak for its self. Classic Italian dishes grace the menu but are personalized with my unique touch. Quality and consistency is what you will find with each dish. I would never serve anything short of that. So whether you are looking for a memorable night out or a glass of wine with friends, I am glad that you have chosen Sapore. As in true Italian tradition, I enjoy bringing people together through food. Ciao –

Our server Alexis was great. Most of our food was delicious except my tenderloin medallions. They were not tender at all. In fact they were really chewy as if I were eating a cheap cut of meat. It does come with a delicious sauce and mashed potatoes that I could not enjoy. Luckily I ordered a side of spaghetti with marinara sauce. It came late to the table. Although I said it wasn’t necessary to take it off the bill, they said it’s their policy. That was very nice of them. Our desserts were fantastic!!

Perfect spot to meet before a downtown St Louis event! It helped that we were staying in the hotel Union 30 is a part of. 😉
