This is a quaint, pleasant Italian place. It’s clean, cozy and the food is good. Our waiter was on the ball and we had a pleasant meal. We’ll be back.

Food was pushing 5 stars, service was 2.5 and ambiance was a 2. Overall, pushing a 4. Not one of the recent reviews mentioned this is a BYOB place; no beer/wine/liquor license here, so stop off for your wine and bring it with you. Food...was excellent. Had a nice Bruschetta Caprese, 4 pieces, split between the two of us, $12. Waiter made a couple mix-ups on food. Wife ordered Zuppa Di Pomodoro $8 and I ordered Manicotti Di Pollo. $22. Split plate charge was $5.00, that got us an extra Insalata Mista (Mixed Salad), a plate and a fork. I upgraded the salad for some olives and pickled vegetables $3. The waiter brought us a Seafood Medley (Zuppa de Pescatore) and the Manicotti. So we sent the Pescatore back and got the Pomodoro to go. Manicotti was very good, walnuts in the ricotta filling were a great touch. More then enough to split between us. Didn't try any desserts. Bill came to $58.00 for two, splitting an entree and no booze. But food was really good. Ambiance. The place is a block off the main drag in that part of town, on Stewart St. Looks like it might have been a burger joint once upon a time. Well only one other couple were there, but our voices bounced off the walls. if a few people were in there I might get very noisy. No table cloths, they might benefit from going down to the dollar store and buying some Pizza Hut red and white checked ones. Not much in other decor either. Paper napkins, no salt and pepper, no background music. Bathroom was clean though. Bottom line: Great place for a to-go order of Italian if you're in Galveston. and BYOB.More
The service was good. The food was good. The menu is poorly presented. Very hard to read. However, the worst for us was the noise! Even though only 4 tables had customers, the loudness was deafening! After our salad, as our waitress was bringing us...our food, we asked to box it up to go. We just couldn’t bare the noise.More
We wanted to eat in, but there weren't any reservations available. We settled for ordering pick up. Sapori is relatively small and only open for dinner. It sounded as if the ever present staffing shortage was impacting them, but you wouldn't have known it by...the pleasant hostess and the excellent take out food. Sapori was next door to our condo complex and was recommended by our Airbnb host and several previous guests. It was sooo good. We ordered a salad and canneloni. Each was very good. We're only sorry our stay wasn't longer so we could have gone back.More
Just left Sapori and the five of us were blown away at the wonderful food!!! The seasoning was perfect on the variety of dishes my family ordered. The portions were huge and the bread was warm and wonderful. We ordered several different desserts to go...and can't wait to enjoy them after we have the room!!!! I rarely eat as I did tonight, I found myself unable to lay the fork down!!More
I had the Gorgonzola and if I could give them a ten star rating I would! Party of six with each having a different entree and everyone loved their meal. Highly recommend them!
Visiting my niece in Galveston, she recommended this place. We did a take out order of Lasagna and a manicotti di polo dish w/ricotta, mozzarella, chicken and walnuts with the cream sauce. Good grief! It was absolutely scrumptious and very large servings! Some might think...it is high priced, but, for your palate satisfaction, it is worth it for sure. We loved it.More
This place is amazing, a true hidden gem and off the beaten path. Even locals of this island (much like myself) haven’t heard of this place and it’s been here around 10 years. An amazing chef, high quality ingredients and traditional dishes come together for...an amazing meal, and seriously; don’t forget desert!More
Wonderful Italian Restaurant. Prices are really good for the quality of servings, which are more than plentiful, so bring a empty stomach. The waiter was excellent and very attentive. I ordered ‘Salsiccia Alla Griglia’ (Grilled Sausage With Roasted Peppers & Onions. Served With Spaghetti, With...Ragu Sauce). The meal comes with Insalada Mista and artisan bread. I asked, if I could chose another salad, and said I would pay the 2 dollar difference. The waiter said he would ask the chef. The chef agreed, so I ordered the Insalata Sicilian (Lettuce, Tomatoes, Peperoncini, Pickled Vegetables, & Kalamata Olives (May Contain Pits), With Italian Vinaigrette) For Dessert I had Tiramisu al Caffe -Lady Fingers, Moistened With Espresso Coffee & Tiramisu Cream. Everything was delicious. If you are looking for a good Italian meal I would highly recommend this restaurant.More
Absolutely amazing true Southern Italian cuisine. A mixture of the ragu and cream sauce on cannelloni was a feast for the taste buds. Italian food like you would find in the nicest restaurants in NYC. Best meal we had in Galveston. The staff and atmosphere...was friendly, welcoming and quaint. Would recommend for a couples night out. No kids menues.More
Slightly off the beaten path, but a local's favorite. Bring your favorite wine and enjoy authentic Italian food. The ribeye was absolutely awesome along with lasagna and an order of sausage and peppers. The waite staff was attentive and very friendly. Highly recommended!
First, Reservations are required here. As of the end of April, they're still at 50%, not sure why, probably lack of workers. They did seat us without a reservation because we got super lucky and we eat earlier than most. We felt sorry for an...elderly couple that was turned away. The food was really good with huge portions. We weren't offered butter or seasoned olive oil for dipping our partly toasted bread. It was still OK, just seemed as though we should have been offered something for it. Make a reservation and bring your favorite bottle of wine!More
Exceeded our expectations. Authentic southern Italian cuisine. Small family owned restaurant with very reasonable price, lovely environment, great service. Absolutely recommended if you are looking for the best Italian in town. We had involtini di melanzane, bistecca alla pizzaiola and salmone al cartoccio. OMG the...cannoli!!!More
They use real pecorino cheese imported from Italy, not cheap parmesean. Good quality ingredients and cooked right. Tastes great!
My wife and I have been waiting so long to be able to dine in at Sapori. The dining room is finally open! We once again got to sit down and enjoy the best Italian food in Galveston! We enjoyed the carry out while the...dining room was closed, but tonight was great getting to sit down enjoy the wine we brought and the great service from George. Thanks Sapori!!!More
