    Sapori Trattoria provided great service from the moment we walked in the door. Their cocktails were solid, good glassware and the cocktail inside of them. Shared two antipasti’s including Calabrian Clams (the best thing I ate all night, and the Burrata platter. The prosciutto was perfect, as were the lesser items, but the burrata was definitely a bit subpar. Not bad by any means, but maybe the weakest link. We split an Insalata Rustica four ways and there was plenty. My friend had the bucatini carbonara which was delicious but nearly too rich if that’s possible. I had the lasagna, and couldn’t finish even half of it. The gals split the Pasta Contadino. Neither of them finished a half order. A bonus was that they had a list of about 20 wines for half price. Overall a very nice experience.
