Came here on a Saturday morning right when they opened. There were only 2 other people in there and…read morewe ordered first. I would like to say that I come here alot and have always loved the food and had great service, but this visit was different. We ordered our sandwiches to go so maybe the was the issue? We ordered 3 sandwiches and they took an incredibly long time to be ready especially since we were the only ones who had ordered. The person who took our order was not friendly either. As they were making our sandwiches they were also complaining about how they didn't want to be at work. Usually I'd give acoustic 5/5 stars, the food is amazing but the atmosphere today was off.

I'm obsessed with this place! What a cute and warm cafe with such a chill ambiance. I loved the…read morecharming and rustic decor; the psychedelic art was what caught my eye. I tried the Heath Bar coffee and a combo whole hoagie, which was enough for both me and my husband so very generous portions. The bread was hot and fresh (housemade!) and not soggy from the meat and sauce. While I did enjoy the Heath Bar coffee, it was definitely on the sweeter side. I'd ask for another shot of espresso next time to balance it out or ask for less sweet. Delicious hoagies and great service. I had a great time catching up with my friends here and I'd love to come back again to enjoy their live music!

Everyone told me while in town I had to check out these maple donuts…read more I will say we got a dozen plus 6 and it was $30!!! I'm from Boston and it would have been $50+ The glazed croissant was fantastic, but i feel that the other donuts including the maple stick was just average. I eat a ton of donuts and they were just ok. Service was super friendly and line moved quick, but overall it was ok.

"It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes." (The Godfather)…read more At Sapori di Sicilia, the message is considerably more appetizing: "Eat the pasta and nobody gets hurt." Walking in for the first time, I half-expected owner Eric Mullen to greet me with cotton-stuffed cheeks and a brooding stare. Instead -- as one Yelp reviewer memorably noted -- Eric looks like he's straight out of Super Mario, more likely to trade you a heavenly mocha for three gold coins than make you an offer you can't refuse. After a four-month pilgrimage to Italy in 2018 to learn the art of Sicilian cooking, Mullen returned to Winona and opened Sapori in 2020, filling a gap in the local food scene roughly the size of a horse head in a mobster's bed. The city desperately needed authentic Italian food, and Sapori delivered. No favors owed. No strings attached. *This time.* Everything here is made by hand: pasta, sauces, bread, pastries, and the gelato. The whole operation, with no shortcuts. The Bronze-cut Pasta: It clings to the sauce with the loyalty of a wartime consigliere who knows exactly where the bodies are buried. The pistachio pesto stands out, though it could use a touch more olive oil or pasta water. A minor grievance that doesn't warrant a trip to the river bottom in concrete shoes. The Pastries and Cakes: Genuinely dangerous. The Mascarpone cheesecake and chocolate cake slice are to die for -- and I mean that in the most Sicilian sense possible. Eat them. Tell no one. The Gelato: Should be under federal investigation. Light, creamy, and so authentically Italian it practically has its own accent. The pale green pistachio is rich, nutty, and deeply serious about its heritage. The Vibe: Warm. Hospitable. A real hit, but with zero cleanup crews required. The Verdict: Leave the gun. And for the love of all that is holy, take the cake and gelato too. You don't need a passport, a secret handshake, or a letter of introduction from a guy who knows a guy. Just show up hungry and show the proper respect.

Following a rather taxing and disagreeable afternoon at the office, I found myself in desperate…read moreneed of a proper culinary escape to remedy my mood. I ventured into a most interesting establishment in Winona this Friday evening, and it proved to be precisely the tonic I required. The dining room was delightfully serene, with only a select few patrons present a peaceful arrangement that I found immensely welcome given my disposition. Upon my arrival, the gentleman assisting me extended an incredibly warm and friendly greeting. His attentive hospitality was thoroughly consistent throughout the evening, and I found the caliber of service to be entirely satisfactory. After requesting the menu to review their selections, I settled on the Pork Belly Tacos. The waiter politely inquired if I would care to include a side of rice with the dish, which I gracefully declined, and my order was processed with admirable efficiency. I must also commend the interior architecture and design. The venue possesses a wonderfully historic, old-world soul, yet it remains impeccably well-maintained and structured rather than ruined. It is a highly impressive aesthetic that adds an air of refined charm to the experience. The comforting atmosphere and flawless execution completely turned my evening around. I am quite enamored with this delightful Winona find and shall most certainly be returning

We had the wedge salad and caesar's. Garlic shrimp and mussels were our mains even though they are appetizers. The brought yummy slices of focaccia slices. The wedge salad is huge using romaine not head lettuce. lots of bleu cheese and bacon bits and cherry tomatoes. The caesar's salad was good. The mussels were fabulous. Slightly spicy. Portion size was amazing. The service level is top notch. Very attentive without being a bother. The bill is a bit weird. They add a credit card charge. The suggested tip includes the credit card fee and taxes.
