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

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

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

I came into town on a work trip. This was a perfect place for a quick sit down Italian meal. I had the chicken Marsala that was full of flavor! The service was good and the ambiance was nice for a fast tasty meal. 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

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

Sapore D'Italia - Of our great meal. - Italian Near Me - Madera, California

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

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

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

Ate here and the food was fantastic! Staff and wait staff were amazing! Nice place. Didn't expect to find a place in Madeira I could give 5 stars. They rocked it. This will be a new meetup place for my brother and I that come from opposite directions. read more

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.

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

The cuisine and service are excellent. Italian, American and Mexican options. Relaxed atmosphere and everyone is super friendly.

The food is absolutely delicious. The service is beyond phenomenal and the restaurant is super clean.

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

First time here the food was excellent also the servers were friendly will absolutely go.back for another amazing meal.

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

While on a tour of multiple California cities we ate at Sapore. I had the salmon that was delicious. They went above and beyond to satisfy our appetites on the day they are typically closed.

I had the penne bolognese tonight. It was delicious. The sauce was very meaty with a bit of spice so it was flavorful and not bland. The portion was generous. (I should have taken a pic but I forgot.). My friend had the linguini with clams. She liked it very much. The servers were extremely nice. The food came out of the kitchen in a timely manner and was hot. Overall, I was very happy with the meal. 5 stars. read more
