We love Sabatino's!…read more The food is excellent, and they have a large menu encompassing traditional favs (like chicken ziti & broccoli, chicken parm, ravioli, etc.), some really unique dishes, and old school dishes like bracciole, tripe, and calamari sauce -- each of which remind me so much of childhood dinners with my Papa. Their house salad is to die for -- literally the best Italian dressing I've ever had, and always poured generously over crisp iceberg and cold, crunchy veggies with a healthy sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Other standouts in the menu include the broccoli margarita and shrimp grand marnier appetizer and the zingarella specialty pasta dish. Every time we go, everything leaving the kitchen looks delicious and fresh. Service is consistently good and drinks are made very well. It gets very busy on weekends, so try to go for lunch or on a weeknight to ensure your meal is piping hot. Otherwise, we have found, sometimes dishes are sometimes served a little on the tepid side. Either way, you are sure to enjoy your experience at this great spot.

Two things I would note: the over abundance of cheese the chef uses in the Italian Wedding Soup. Give the guest a chance to put the amount of cheese they like. I was also looking forward to the Cacio e Pepe and, again, the amount of cheese used was overwhelming and the amount of pepper! I know that's the name of the dish, but let there be a happy medium. So much cheese that it looked curdled. Ick. The chicken francese, yup, too much black pepper! Why pepper? Put more lemon in the dish. The heavy handedness with the pepper and cheese on several dishes we ordered makes us second guess if we should give it a third try.

It was my first time there with some epic company and they were one of the few places open during yesterday's snow storm. They were all so personable, smiling, engaging, checked on me constantly and working their tails off despite being open during the storm. We got the arancini and cheesy garlic bread with some cocktails. That garlic bread was so insanely delicious. Everything was but it stood out. I just appreciate the service industry so much and we tend to forget they have to work all day and then go shovel out. Hats off to you all. I'll easily be back -Jonathan

I don't typically eat veal, and this cutlet was perfectly balanced - rich, savory, crispy, with a pleasant (but not overwhelming) salty kick from the prosciutto and parmigiano reggiano. We also ordered the spicy broccolini, which I highly recommend for the garlic lovers out there. For dessert we had the dark cherry (amarena?) gelato, which was delicious and creamy, with the perfect amount of sweetness. We shared each dish, and it was certainly plenty of food for the two of us. Prices felt reasonable for the amount and quality of what we ordered (all of the above + 2 drinks from the bar totaled approx. $160 pre-tip). The restaurant space itself is relatively small but has enough space to move around comfortably, which made it cozy without ever getting too loud (it was a pretty full house when we went), with a balanced dim lighting. Additionally, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the server patiently walked us through the menu and shared suggestions at our request. On a personal note I am especially appreciative of the staff, as I accidentally left without my hat, and the restaurant responded almost immediately to the message I sent through the restaurant website that same evening. Tl;dr - great menu, rich & hearty but balanced ingredients/recipes, and comfortable vibe. One really gets the impression that the husband/wife owners had a specific vision that they successfully brought into reality.

The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, so it's a great place for date night. The Fantastic: 1. Service -- our waiter was amazing, he took great care of us. We wanted for nothing! 2. Tortellini Alla Norcina -- this was delish. It was creamy, a little funky, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. 3. Cacio e Pepe -- also delish. 4. Mussels -- perfectly cooked, big and plump, and the bread to sop up the broth was also yummy. The plates are beautiful, but I think that plating and presentation takes priority over the food sometimes: 1. Bruschetta -- this was supposed to come with a balsamic drizzle, but it was served on a wooden plate and the drizzle was tiny and thin, so there wasn't really any balsamic. The dish could have used it to help cut through the cheese. 2. Bombolone -- dry, there was not a lot of custard in the pastry, and the surrounding sauces were more decorative than helpful. We did not enjoy the mixed drinks, they were all on the sour side and watery. So I would stick with wine or beer, the wine we had was excellent. Overall, we had a really nice time and would return.
