I've been meaning to try this place for years, and having finally tried it I'm certain I'll be back!
The food here is phenomenal. I loved their take on the Melanzano, and my missus didn't offer me a single ravioli to even taste, so I'm fairly certain it was pretty damn good!
The desserts were sumptuous, hosts and hostesses very friendly, and happy to provide an opinion on the menu.
Open kitchen, so hearing "Yes Chef!" As your order is processed is always nice to see.
Prices aren't cheap, but they do provide value for what you're getting. The restaurant clearly isn't cutting corners.
They considerate with dietary needs, and puts you at ease when ordering.
I'll be back.

The attentive service added to the overall experience, making me feel truly pampered throughout my meal. Overall, my time at Sopori Restaurant & Bar was a memorable one. Whether you're a vegetarian or simply someone who appreciates fine dining, Sopori is sure to exceed your expectations with its impeccable service and offerings.
Lovely restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and attentive service without feeling rushed. Would definitely go again. Food was delicious! Perfect for a special occasion
First time coming here, the food is lovely and authentic and in house and you can definitely feel that when eating bread, pasta, and the desserts.
I would recommend for the owner to include somewhere the possibility to choose a higher tip than the default 10% on the POS.
Is an amazing place!
Wow! My Wife and I had a 1st visit to Sapori tonight to celebrate our 31st Wedding Anniversary. It was excellent from all aspects and the Best Italian we have ever had.We will certainly be returning.

Decided to have a treat night out whilst my dad was away on tour. Never actually been inside Sapori but had had takeaways during COVID. Amazing! The food was obviously cooked fresh and really tasty! Super friendly staff and very friendly owner! We were in the pizza bar which only serves drinks, starters, pizzas, desserts and a few sides! One thing i would say is that the music started to get a bit too loud towards the end of our meals which is why the atmosphere gets a 4 but other than that it was fantastic!
Wow what a place. If you like good quality food or fine dining or just want an experience I highly recommend going out to Sapori. The food here is amazing and just delicious. Not only that the restaurant itself is amazing the decor and the staff make for an amazing atmosphere. We were lucky to sit just in front of the kitchen which has a huge service window and I was amazed to see the chefs interact and do their thing. We had the tasting menu which I recommend if you haven't been before I will be going again to try the a la carte menu. Absolutely brilliant.

Their head chef Andreas Carpatit runs the kitchen and the front of house are very professional.
We hear the restaurant is very popular with a local football ⚽️ team. Forget the name of them🤣
We will have to return to try their tasting menu.
I went for the 7 course taster menu and was pleasantly surprised. Each dish was perfectly balanced in flavour and the presentation also added to the wow factor. The aperitifs, the halibut and squid particularly were memorable, but couldn't find fault with any of the dishes to be honest.
Each portion was perfectly sized for the taster menu, which helped to enjoy each dish, rather than feeling too stuffed.
The friendly staff also added to the evening, which made it a particularly memorable one. For a taster menu of this size and variation, I feel it was also well priced and I'm looking forward to my next visit.
We had family on a Friday evening. Food was well-presented and served on reasonable time. Full housed restaurant with great dining atmosphere. Cosy, not too noisy or overly formal. Great service by Floyd.
