Small restaurant with cozy intimate atmosphere.
Fried calamari was a very good appetizer and unfortunately is one of the very few good items in the menu.
Filet mignon was tender but the caramelized onion and port reduction on the top of the filet mignon was overpowering the entire dish. The dish would have been perfect if the filet mignon was replaced with grilled salmon. The pasta was decent although the sauce was a tad too strong (creamy/​salty). The chef did try his best to combine flavorings of different components and it just did not work as he/​she expected.
The dessert was the biggest disappointment. Flourless chocolate cake resembled cheap do-​it-​yourself chocolate cake from Safeway. The tiramisu has a huge serving but in this case, bigger is not always better as the tiramisu tasted more like the combination of whipped cream and excess Splenda.
In a nutshell, I would strongly recommend Sapori only for its fried calamari and free bread with olive oil.
