Food and service excellent!! The decor is classy, beautiful and clean..I will definitely be back. My blackened salmon was awesome....

We stopped by Sapore D'Italia while we were in town for cheer camp, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The restaurant has such an elegant atmosphere with beautiful chandeliers throughout and a gorgeous bar area that gives it an upscale feel while still being warm and inviting. Since it was Friday, I couldn't pass up the clam chowder, and it was absolutely delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken piccata with mashed potatoes, and it was cooked perfectly with incredible flavor. My daughter had the chicken Alfredo with broccoli and loved every bite. We finished the meal with the berry cobbler topped with ice cream, which was the perfect ending. Our waitress was amazing.... so kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She made us feel welcome and gave excellent recommendations. We enjoyed our experience so much that we came back the very next night! This time I had the prime rib, and it was to die for!!! perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. We couldn't leave without trying the brownie à la mode, and it was every bit as delicious as it looked. If you're looking for outstanding food, exceptional service, and a beautiful atmosphere, I highly recommend Sapore de Italia. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in town! read more

The food is so good and the service is top-notch! When you pull up, you see that the restaurant is in a little shopping village, so not particularly inviting on the outside. But definitely give it a try. We've been several times and it is one of our favorites. The staff is amazing!! read more

Horrible delivery experience with UberEats. Salad was delivered with all items despite only checking dressing on the app. The Restaurant refused to take responsibility and Uber did not refund the item. Last delivery order from this Restaurant and likely we will not eat here in the future. Customers have options S. read more

The best of the best in Madera. We loved the service and the food was amazing, the owners are very humble and attentive people! Every employee cares for every customer, everyone is treated the same, I love this place read more

From the service to the food, AMAZING! Loved the fettuccine Alfredo and salad. Everyone was nice and welcoming. My whole party loved all their food. Loved! read more

Their service was very good. The clam chowder and dinner salad were incredible but their pizza was terrible. The atmosphere needs more character... maybe a little more of a cozy/ moody vibe. read more

Every time we come it's wonderful! The food is amazing & the staff is awesome. Is such a great little restaurant. We love it there. We go often because the food is consistently good. read more

The establishment that was there before had pretty good Italian food. Not the best, but pretty good. Now, with the new owners it's just mediocre. Judging by some of the comments being left, I should've gone months ago. Sounds like it was better at that time than when I was there. As far as quality of service, they do go overboard. But then again with the high cost of living, it wouldn't do the servers justice (tip wise) if they were rude. read more

10-10 okay but not great. Be better next time. Food a average ambience average service average.

The food, wine, dessert, and service were all excellent! We ordered ravioli, chicken Parmesan, salad, and soup. All 6 of us loved our meal after a long day driving from Yosemite. Server was friendly and he even requested food quickly as he knew we were starving. He said his mom is the manager and she chose some delicious wine for the menu. We loved the Canyon Road wine! Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

First time eating at this establishment with some friends of ours and we all thought it was fantastic! First, the bread is to die for. So yummy! They shared a lasagna and we shared a penne Bolognese. Both were excellent. Hoping to get back through Madera again soon so we could eat there once again. read more

Wow! Amazing service...felt so cared for! I love Lobster Bisque...very few times have my expectations been met...It was met! So great, can't wait to come back for more. So went to Italian place and ended up getting Lamb lollipops (baby tomahawks). They were amazing. The sauce was incredible - mint garlic. They gave me 5! Only needed 4 - but took care of #5, because it was there! Great atmosphere...a real "home town" vibe! Keep it up...they are adding breakfast/brunch on Sunday's...can't wait to see the menu. read more

The food was excellent! Tender meatballs and pasta perfect al dente. The service was supreme. The ambiance was perfect for a date but i dined alone. I'll definitely go back! read more

Impeccable quality! I can't believe that this is located in Madera. Quality of a fine dining restaurant. Service is some of the best I have ever received. Comparable to the Five in Fresno, yet prices are very affordable given this economy. Saul and Maria are amazing with their customer service. I can't get enough of this place! They greet you as if you were family, and will give the same service whether you are wearing a suit or sweats. Sister company to Epazote in Madera which serves exceptional Mexican cuisine. Please try it!! 100xs better then diciccos! read more

What a gem. My wife and I had dinner at Sapore and it was a wonderful experience. Food was tasty, cocktails were cold and refreshing. Limoncello Spritz was fantastic thanks to Maria. Music and ambiance in the restaurant put you in a good mood. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to be having a good time. Service is excellent. Maria, Saul and Angie are the best. Almost forgot, you have to try the Lemon Meringue pie. Out of this world! read more

We ordered lasagna, chicken Parmesan, ribeye, steak, spaghetti, chicken piccata and salads. The food was AMAZING, DELICIOUS and FLAVORFUL!!!!! The vegetables were cooked aldente, just the way we like it. The service was exceptional and they are professional. The restaurant was clean, cool and decorated nicely. We will definitely be back when we return this way again. read more

Let me tell you... Again! Sapore does not disappoint. We had 2 orders of clam linguine that were the best ever. They keep getting better. We had lasagna, caprese appetizer, and their bread! All were outstanding! Their balsamic is something unique and very good. If it's bought in the bottle, then please share the brand with me. Regardless, just amazing! Keep it up sapore! read more

Staring with great customer service. Ourr server a young gentleman by the name of Saul. Provided great service and the food very good. Over, we recommend this Italian restaurant. read more

We ordered take out last night and were very delighted by the great quality and taste of the food we received. I was particularly interested in the penne with meat sauce. I was eager to try it so I wouldn't have to drive to Fresno for it. There is not one restaurant that I have found that serves meat sauce in Madera. You'd think DiCicco's would, but nope. Gabriella's did but I wasn't what I was looking for. I was so happy with the taste and texture of this dish! Close to perfection! The portion was large enough and had plenty for small a leftover meal! My son had the salmon with rice and he loved it! It was served with a delicious butter lemon sauce on the side. My husband had the caesar salad and said it was great! I will also mention that we loved their bread too! Overall fantastic dinner. There was even an employee from Gabriella's there working at this new restaurant! It was nice to see a familiar face in a fresh new environment! We are excited about our newest restaurant neighbor and can't wait to try more menu items!! read more

I had the Lasagna plate and it was delicious. Mom had the Calamari Sandwich and enjoyed but it was so big she took half home. If you go ask them for their roasted garlic. It goes really well on their yummy bread. read more

The food is delicious and the wait staff is incredible. They are all so friendly and professional. The pizza is an excellent choice for a smaller appetizer. They also do a good hamburger, it's not the menu so ask for it. read more

Ambiance is great, service great, food... not so much. I've heard great things about all the Italian pasta dishes and bread. With my strict diet, I can only indulge in meat/salad dishes. Unfortunately, the meat dishes are severely lacking. Steak was well done when asked for medium rare, no flavor. Chicken is beat with a mallet until paper thin and completely overcooked. I've tried this place four times and the meat is never cooked right. My advice: Stick to pasta if you can, and if you can't, dont waste your money. read more

You have got to give this restaurant a try.. 1. Service Excellent 2. Food was amazing 3. Restaurant very clean We tried the following - highly recommend Meatballs-Bruschetta-Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo-Chicken Bruschetta Sandwich Prices are very reasonable read more

Great service and excellent food. We are not in MaderA very often but we plan on having dinner there again.

This was truly 10/10. Food was delicious, the waiters were always checking to see if we had enough to drink and overall great customer service. Lentil Soup (soup of the day) was so good. Cioppino was delicious and the Trio Ravioli was nicely cooked and flavorful. We could not help ourselves and ordered Bread Pudding for dessert, it was awesome! Will definitely dine here again. Highly recommend! read more

Under new ownership, but the same quality food, attentive service, and pleasant atmosphere.

My husband and I tried out this new restaurant that took over Ristorante Gabriela's. We were pleasantly surprised. We both ordered the lamb lollipops. The sauce on them was exquisite. The mashed potatoes had some undefinable flavor that made them better than your standard potato. The vegetables were just right. We are definitely going back. We might try the chicken Marsala but the lamb was so good it is hard not to get that again! read more

Wanted to try this new restaurant, in my opinion the food is way overpriced and their to-go portions are very small. I paid $36 for this, $8 extra for shrimp and $8 for my salad. Not going back ! read more
