The First Ever Dinner Club: Sapori Trattoria

2701 N. Halstead
Sapori Tratorria is an Italian restaurant, on the smaller side, not too crowded of busy, a cute ambiance with little white lights and super friendly service. It has lots of weekly deals (like Family Style Mondays and Wine Tasting Wednesdays) We didn't take them up on any of their specials... But we did take them up on our first ever dinner club, dinner for 8! 

The first thing I loved about Sapori was when I called to make the reservation. Ricardo was so nice and cute saying, "of course we'll take care of you!" and "ciao, ciao!" He kept asking if it was for an occasion, I heard that if it is they will make special menus for your party... which is a nice touch... of course I didn't take them up on that either.

The food was very good, everyone seemed please (see comments). Our waiter remembered our orders without writing it down (and a table of 8 I mean, thats pretty impressive). The sign is difficult to see from the outside, but we found it, and had a great time!!



I would give it
4/5 stars

what we learned: 
the pasta and risotto dishes are HUGE and SHOULD be shared. 

what we loved: 
the BREAD! Homemade, served warm and fresh

the service: 
Friendly and helpful... i <3 ricardo!

the price: 
 Our total bill was $210 which made it about 
$26/person... none of us had drinks

BONUS: 
they gave us free dessert... and it was delicious!
tiramisu, flan, and bread pudding... yummo!
