I was on my way to the theater up in West Palm Beach and this restaurant was close by you sat at the bar to eat. The artichokes were delicious. The pasta was excellent. The sauce was right on spot. I definitely recommend it
Well respected Italian destination restaurant. Wide variety of delicious items on the regular menu. Excellent specials. Service is cheerful and pleasant. Interesting space with lovely art.

Cafe Sapori- been there for lunch several times recently. Menu has been upgraded; it has a whole page of vegan options behind the daily options. For an upscale place, the staff are surprisingly warm + welcoming + helpful. The pasta is excellent + wine selections -both by the bottle + by the glass-are diverse + good. Fish was so-so, but vegetables, pasta, crabcakes, meatballs -literally everything else--excellent. If I had to choose one item to recommend, it would be anything where the main ingredient is pasta.Vegetarian options: Lots of Broccoli Rabe + other fresh vegetables + canneloni beans. They are very accommodating + will turn almost any listed dish into a vegan dish.
Probably the worst chicken Parmesan I’ve ever had. When they brought the plate out, I thought it was a piece of pizza, it almost covered the entire 10 inch plate. Not much sauce, very overcooked and tasteless. It was a circular piece of chicken with the outside, turned up like pizza crust. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the service and atmosphere.

Way to loud. I don't appreciate being jammed like sardines into three dining rooms with no ambience. You can barely move through the dining hall to the bathroom. I felt like ii was on a low end cruise ship. The service was great. Very friendly staff. But oh what a factory. The food mediocre. Come on ! Whose idea is it to eat in a crazy noisy environment. I couldn't taste the food it was so crammed and noisy. Guess the almighty dollar wins

Very loud crowded making impossible to converse. Food was fair. Parking valets were very rude, refusing to help me load wheelchair into car trunk. Did not tip them ? would never recommend this place.Dietary restrictions: One friend has Hashimoto and the menu didn't offer many choices. She ate a grassy salad and minute steak which was very tough. Nobody even took it home.Parking: Valets refused to help me load wheelchair into trunk, saying they were too busy. They stopped car along curb forcing my husband to have to clumsily hobble to door. Unacceptable, inconsiderate and downright mean.Wheelchair accessibility: Not at all handicap friendly ? wheelchairs must ascend a slope to enter a very narrow doorway. Tables squeezed close making accessibility impossible. Staff takes ambivalent attitude,not offering to facilitate in any way. Basically physically challenged clientele are on their own. Good luck!
Good food , Tables to close to each other. I still will return.

⚠️ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! WE WILL NEVER BE BACK!FROM MY SISTEROn Friday evening I visited Cafe Sapori for a celebratory dinner with my mother for her 87th birthday. My husband and I flew in from Chicago especially for this significant birthday. At her suggestion I made a 6PM reservation. We arrived promptly and were seated immediately.At first all was fine as the waiter took our order for cocktails. We then ordered four appetizers. After that it was all downhill. The waiter was annoyed as we asked how a fish entree was prepared. It was apparent he wanted us to order quickly. I politely asked him to please not rush us. His response was that he wanted to turn over the table since it was a busy nite.To say that I was shocked that a restaurant at this level and prices would respond in this manner. It was an important evening for us and sharing a lovely evening was critical. At that point we were only there for 20 minutes!!I was so upset by this that I asked for the check and the waiter never asked if there was a problem . I paid the bill and we proceeded to leave. I spotted the manager and calmly stated the issue as to why we were leaving. It was only 6:30! He could have cared less. I did not ask or want anything from him except an apology for ruining our evening and a very important celebration.He never said a word and even laughed with some people standing nearbyI did not think the situation called for that response. We were not eating at a fast food restaurant. I would think an hour to an hour and a half for fine dining is appropriate and not to feel like we were being pushed out the door. My mother lives in a large high end community and runs the social club for over 7000 residents, and you can be sure this terrible experience will most definitely be circulated among her peers. I have never left a review before but this situation demanded a response. We will make sure no one she knows will ever dine there again. Perhaps they dont care since the restaurant is very busy but they should!!ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! WE WILL NEVER BE BACK!
