Excellent food, excellent atmosphere and our new favorite place! First started with bruschetta that was delish then for our meal we had the filet mignon and pork rib with roasted vegetables. Ended with the sticky cake with ice cream and caramel. All items were fresh and so good! read more

We have been wanting to try this place for so long and we were able to get a reservation at 7 on a Saturday - that hardly ever happens. We came a bit early since we were so eager and we sat at the bar for a few drinks before our table was ready. I ordered the Water on Mark cocktail with lucre since they were out, but substituted with pear and to be honest. It was a fantastic drink. My fiancé ordered a smoked old fashioned and we watched the bartender work her magic. The ambiance of this place makes you feel so cozy, but with such a vibrant crew who really know it all when it comes to the restaurant business. We were then guided to our seats and we started to drool over the amazing food menu. We saw a wild mushroom toast for an anti pasta and we had to order it. The flavor was impeccable. The whipped ricotta was a perfectly creamy element to bring out all the amazing flavors of the mushroom and sauce. We also had to order a Caesar salad, because when in Rome, right? We were so excited for our main dishes, but we could've kept eating more and more of that anti pastas. I ordered the Seared skin Bay Salmon and he ordered the Chicken Parmesan. To say both were delicious would be an understatement. The chicken Parmesan sauce was on another level. You can tell that they're making the sauce in house. My dish was the best of both worlds. The salmon and pasta was delicious separately, but complimented the other flavors perfectly. We didn't have room for dessert, but man were we wanting to try some. We will be coming back here as much as we can in the future. Amazing spot. read more

While back in town visiting family, my mom and I came to Sabira for dinner on one of my last evenings. She made a reservation for the two of us and we absolutely enjoyed everything about our experience. Our waiter was extremely kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is upscale chic without being highbrow. I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant, especially for Toledo standards. To start, my mom and I shared the lamb meatballs, which were some of the best meatballs I have ever had. And what goes better with meatballs, then some delicious freshly baked bread and garlic butter?! Before entrées, we split the beet salad and it was phenomenal. For my entrée, I ordered the carbonara which came with delicious freshly made pasta, while my mom ordered the Cacio E Pepe. Both pasta dishes were superb. To finish, we split the chocolate meringue cake. It was a unique dessert, and I appreciated the upscale flair to it. All in all, from start to finish this was an incredible meal, and I hope Sabira has a long and successful career in Toledo. read more

We had high expectations going in to our first meal at Sabira because Souk has set the bar high, and Sabira easily surpassed our expectations. The decor is beautiful, moody, and special, the service was phenomenal and friendly, and the food is delicious! We ordered wine, apps, specials, entrees, and dessert, and everything was delicious. My out of town family was impressed and I'm already planning my second visit. read more

Visited Sabira with friends and was very impressed. The layout and design of the restaurant is excellent. Welcoming, warm, not overly loud when crowded, and very tasteful. I found the leather chairs uncomfortable and awkward, but i was alone in that opinion. The menu is thoughtful and the food was delicious. I had a lovely beet salad (who doesn't love a beet salad) and then some pasta (no doubt made on site and fantastic) with duck confit and a cheesy sauce. Every bite eaten. We lingered and talked because it was so comfortable. But we didn't close the place! Toledoans should definitely check it out! read more

Came in from out of town for a celebration. Had a reservation and was told it would be a minute then we'd be sat. When the other half of our party arrived they sat them, so we went to meet them only for our other table to still be occupied. Awkwardly stood around for a bit hovering over one table with our large party. Eventually management got us our other table but that did put a damper in the evening which is one of the reasons i could not give this place 5 stars. Drinks were just ok, tried a few different cocktails and just was not impressed. Looks were amazing, very aesthetic but didn't enjoy the taste of them especially for the price. $14-$20 for one cocktail seemed a bit much. Did have a lovely upscale vibe of the whole establishment. Tried many things this evening and my personal favorites were the aged sour dough and the wild boar ravioli. The hummus was great too but I would get the sour dough over it. The lamb meatballs were ok, a little spice to them which i enjoyed but not everyone did. I got the Cacio de Pepe, which i thought was under whelming. Was more oil-y than creamy in my opinion. Still flavorful but i enjoyed my friends ravioli more. 2 friends got the ribeye who had great things to say about it. Overall food was good but a bit on the pricier end- but to be expected with a higher end restaurant. I ordered 2 drink, 2 appetizers, and an entree with tips it was around $120, to me wasn't worth it even though the food was good. Definitely a place for an experience not a regular visit. The management did give us 2 free desserts due to the dilemma with our reservation from earlier. Thought that was important to note since I mentioned it in the first place. Would be back but only for a very special celebration. read more

We just loved it! We met with another couple for dinner. Miranda was our server and did an excellent job helping us. It is really a great looking place inside and the food was perfect! My wife had the roasted beet salad and I had the Wagyu Strip steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus. We started off with Espresso Martinis, which were elegant and tasty. I forgot to take a pic of my plate until I was a few bites into it because it looked and smelled so delicious. We will be back! read more

SABIRA! FINALLY. Praise be. Toledo has been parched for legit Italian, and this place just roared into downtown like a Ferrari doing donuts in a parking lot full of chain restaurants. From the same culinary universe that gave us the spice-drunk genius of Souk, Chef Moussa is back -- and this time, he's just next door, wielding marinara like a weapon. Sabira is his love letter to Italian cuisine, but he folds it like pasta dough into something uniquely his: bold, unexpected, a little wild, and glorious. Let's talk food: It's electric. Flavor combos dance like a fever dream. Pops of heat! Bursts of acid! That babaganoush arancini should be illegal in at least three states. Every bite is a twist you didn't see coming -- and yet, it all lands. It's chef's kiss after chef's kiss after WHO EVEN TAUGHT YOU TO DO THAT? Now yes, they're new. There are the tiniest of bumps -- but honestly? Who cares. That's like nitpicking the Sistine Chapel because you don't like one angel's haircut. The space is gorgeous, the energy buzzes, and the menu reads like a mixtape of Italian classics remixed with Moussa's unmistakable swagger. This isn't just a new restaurant. It's a moment. Sabira gets it. And if it's this good out of the gate? Buckle up. We're not just adding it to our rotation -- we might move in. Bravo, Chef. Bravissimo. Now please excuse us while we dream about that spicy sausage pizza until next week. read more

This was very much a treat yourself date for me and my wife. The atmosphere was awesome and we reserved a table in the back to make it easier to talk. Service was great! They checked in the right amount and didn't crowd us. Food was spectacular and our favorites were definitely the appetizers and dessert desserts. The general manager also checked in on us after our meal which we greatly appreciated. read more

So far our fav restaurant! We have been 3 times so far and each time has been amazing! There are not enough stars to rate this place. It's not just about the food, it's a wonderful atmosphere, the service is above par and I've been to much more expensive places and you can't beat the complete package. And you can't leave without trying the sticky cake! read more

Currently the best restaurant in Toledo. Mediterranean menu. And they really know how to prepare fish! Best I've had (in this case, branzino) since "The Restaurant" in Sylvania closed nearly 20 years ago. read more

A new restaurant next door to the amazing Souk. The spin is Italian with a Mediterranean flair. The restaurant is thoughtfully decorated and very intimate. The dinnerware is nicely curated and compliment a the meals. It has only been open about two weeks. I will go back again and update. We ordered Carbonara and the Asparagus Agnolotti and the mussels. The mussels were fresh and delicious. I wish there was something substantial to sop up the yummy sauce. The carbonara was full of ladrones but not what I expected. It was hearty but not creamy and the pasta was very al dente. Our agnolotti was spring perfection. Such great flavors and the pasta was cooked perfectly again I just with there was a spoon or a hearty piece of bread. The staff wasn't overly attentive or helpful. Our waitress suggested the margarita pizza as her favorite thing in the menu. Just seemed an odd choice to recommend from their extensive menu, the pizza was okay. I think they may just need a moment to gel as a team. Souk is the Best of Toledo. Sabira surely isn't far behind. read more

The design of the inside is pretty cool. Our reservation was not ready when we arrived. The host didn't do the best job. We were 50/50 with some dishes being great and some not so much. Wine pricing is a little high. read more

8-19-2025 A real gem! Everything was wonderful from start to finish. We tried the Baba Ghanoush Arancini, roasted Beet Salad, Fungi Pizza, and Eggplant Parmigiana, all split with dear friends. The food was a true 5*, the ambiance warm and inviting and excellent service from Reed R. read more

The food is divine, the ambiance is romantic and cool, and the cocktails are well crafted (which is hard to find in Toledo!). We love Souk next door too. read more

Hands down best restaurant in Toledo! The ambiance, the menu, the service, literally everything is perfection. The food is to die for. I ordered the filet and I honestly think it's the best steak I've ever had. The potato gnocchi is so smooth and soft. I could go on and on about this place. All you need to know is that you need to go. read more

Very nice decor, loved the candles. We came with our friends to try out this new place. Cocktails were good and nice wine list. Appetizers were good, the mussels and the broth delicious. Entrees were good, we had some pasta dishes and fish. I wish they offered vegetables to go along with the menu. Nice addition to downtown Toledo. read more

My wife and I decided to try Sabria and we were so pleasantly delighted! Mushroom toast was delicious and my wife got the salmon and I ordered the filet!!! We are foodies and this was the best steak I have ever had! Better than three of the $$$$ priced steak houses we have been to and the salmon was just absolutely delicious. The restaurant was beautiful and Tracey our waiter was excellent. We will definitely be back again! read more

Food was exceptional! Apps: Lamb meatballs, wild mushrooms with whipped ricotta and calamari. All great! A few entrees faves were the chix Parm, Caico e Pepe, Gnocchi with Harissa cream all outstanding. The ambience was lovely. My only recommendation is that the tables were small for the dinnerware and glassware. We had a party of six and were pretty cramped. Thank goodness we did not all have wine! read more

We went to Sabira for the first time and I have to say this restaurant has the best ambience of a restaurant I'v been to in Toledo. Gorgeous! Everything was beautiful... the tree inside the restaurant, the table settings, the dishes, the long bar, the restroom! The waiter was attentive and friendly. The wine list is excellent. We started with the mushroom toast and sausage as appetizers- excellent! The main dishes were beautifully plated. I had the asparagus agnolotti- it didn't have a wow factor but was good. read more

absolutely awesome! Had dinner last evening and it was perfect. Little noisy (ambient noise) but the dining experience is top notch. read more

This place is incredible which isn't surprising given Moussa is in charge. The food is great, and it is a beautiful bar area as well for just grabbing a drink & hanging out. read more

The food was outstanding. I was here last Saturday and they were busy as always. The appetizer was fantastic as was the grilled octopus and chicken parmigiana. My wife loved the chocolate dessert. We sat in the quiet area so we could talk and it was perfect. Moussa and Kara have taken this new restaurant to the top and beyond. read more

While pricey, food, service, wines, and desserts were all great. Interior s very nice-except noise level. Difficult to have conversations even with the person seated next to you. Great place but probably would not go back. read more
