Wow! We were anxious to try this spot since we loved Tucci's -- color us impressed! We walked in with no reservation and the place was packed! Our wait time was minimal and the owner was taking drink orders, which I love to see. Also, while we waited, they gave us menus to peruse. One, gave us something to do and two, helps speed up service/table flip time since we (pretty much) knew what we wanted when we were seated. We were seated at a table in the corner on the window-side of the restaurant-- great spot but a bit chilly even though we weren't in front of the window! We both sat facing the restaurant so we could take it all in. After talking through the updated tables and placement, paint colors and lighting, we conclude they really thought everything through! Our server was wonderful -- timely but not hovering, and gave great suggestions. Upon being sat, we were presented with complimentary bruschetta. Although it looked like there was less greenery than the original Tucci's version, it was just as great! Three of our toasts were super solid. The one that had a little chew, we shared. Yummy!! We ordered the Saffron Arancini for appetizer - whoa. We weren't sure what to expect but it's the perfect fusion of Mediterranean and Italian. The creamy yogurt sauce with a hint of tartness paired magically with the warm decadence of the arancini crispness and filling. Add the brightness of the cucumber and heirloom tomatoes - delizioso! Up next, we split a side Sapori salad with the classic Tucci's lemonade dressing. Let me tell you: I wish I could buy this dressing. If you're not into tangy/tart things, this is not for you. However, highly recommend. For our entrees, we had the three-cheese ravioli with salmon and the penne a la vodka with grilled chicken. Ravioli: massive round pillows with a delicious, creamy cheese blend. The sauce is very good, with an added bonus of capers. Would have liked the option of shredded parm here! The shrimp were okay - one of them was slightly undercooked. Penne: well-cooked pasta, same sauce as the ravioli. Lots of parm added in the kitchen. The chicken was good. I wished it would be come at least pre-sliced -- I had to transfer it to a plate to cut. I get the risk of losing moisture, but if it has rested for a minute, the quick slice and deliver could work? :-) We also ordered a side of broccolini - it was good but we don't think it was grilled. For dessert, we tried the special, carrot cake. Presentation was great but we were a tad disappointed. The cake was a bit tough and dry. It was overpowered a bit by the sweet buttercream on top. There was a cream cheese icing in the center that was yummy -- I would have used that on the top, too! In our eyes, if you order carrot cake, you're not going to something super sweet? Overall, I give our visit a 9.2 -- we will ABSOLUTELY be back. Bravo, Sapori team! read more

Excellent food, and great atmosphere, and it's priced better than most Italian restaurants in the area!

One of our favorite restaurants in Tulsa!! Absolutely the best lasagna ever!! All of the other dishes have been amazing too!!

Food was fresh, everything made in house daily! Service was excellent! Outside seating area was has many accessories to keep you cool. Jewel knew the menu, offered heartfelt suggestions was a blessing to our birthday party! EAT HERE!! read more

This place feels like an awesome neighborhood restaurant where everyone knows your name. Great food, great service, great vibe. You walk in and immediately you feel welcome and know that everyone else feels that way too. read more

Always fresh food, lots of smiles, and hard working staff to take care of us every time we are there.

Everything I've had here is so good. The service is great and the owner is so friendly. They've remodeled and it looks great too! Still cozy like Tuccis but brighter and modern! And they still have the yummy lemony salad. Food is 5*!! read more

Met our Goddaughter here for dinner. The decor was a different than Tucci's. We had a reservation just because we had a set time to meet. There were at least two workers making sure everything was OK with our table. I liked the bruschetta. The chicken piccata was good but I would probably try a pasta next time. Will be back for sure. read more

Small restaurant, so I recommend making a reservation if you go on a weekend. We were seated immediately and brought out bruschetta, that is their free appetizer. It was pretty yummy. Our waitress Libby was great and very attentive. She had several recommendations which were helpful. My sister ended up getting the chicken Marsala and I got the linguine carbonara. Both were absolutely delicious. We had a few seasonal cocktails which were delicious as well. I think it's a great spot for date night or a night out with the gals/pals. read more

Amazing food, staff, environment. Always been a Mondos girl but now love going to Sapori more.

Our family's fave - whether for a work happy hour, a big group like my book club, or even a private wedding shower. Al makes every gathering feel like family. The salmon in every dish is the best in town - the salmon piccata is unrivaled. The Italian Lemonade (spiked) makes me feel like Cherry Street has been transported to the Amalfi Coast. It's patio season - head to Sapori! read more

Karen was an amazing waitress. Pleasant, efficient and went out of her way to accommodate a member of our party who had disabilities. Food was excellent as well. Thank you!! read more

Amazing food!! Chicken piccata, caesar salad and the margarita pesto pizza were amazing. Brussels sprouts 10/10

Outstanding food and service!! We had their classic spaghetti and meatball and the Halibut special! Looking forward to going back soon! Caesar salad was good too! read more

Food, service, very congenial owner and staff. Ambiance. Salori also boasts a full service bar with highlt trained and knowledgeable barkeeps. read more

Great ambiance, friendly staff and dinner was delish! Trying brunch on Sunday! Highly recommend.

My absolute favorite restaurant. The FOOD IS INCREDIBLE! We have always loved everything that we have eaten there. And the staff goes beyond the call of duty to make sure our dining experience is perfection! The owner is always there and is beyond kind! This is the best place in Tulsa! read more

Excellent food and service. Inviting atmosphere. My new favorite place to dine. Best lasagna I've ever tasted and their meatballs are outstanding. read more

The pizza here is not good. More like a Totino's pizza. No wonder I haven't heard a single person mention this place. Tucci's was better!

First time here since no longer Tucci's. Romantic ambiance of Tucci's was more our vibe. Service was excellent and food was good, but not a wow factor we hoped for. $22 for a dirty goose martini is exorbitant without a chilled glass or pick in the olive. Probably won't return as we didn't feel that it was worth the $108 tab plus gratuity. May appeal to others. read more

First the complimentary bruschetta was good. That's where the positives end. The caesar salad was basic iceberg with supermarket dressing. The pizza was new territory for me. I didn't know there could be too much cheese. Well, Sapori went through the looking glass with that one. Also the crust had the consistency of cardboard. read more

So good every time. The owner is so personable. He greets everyone at their tables. By name if you have visited before! The lasagna is to die for and so is the aranchini and the sea bass. So many other items. The bruschetta very good as well!!! Great atmosphere. Always popular! read more

The staff was so accommodating and the chicken piccata was delicious. We also had the breadsticks - amazing!

Love Sapori - the ambiance, food and service are wonderful! Best bruschetta in town!

First thing noticed when I walked in was the space felt surprisingly fresh and charming. The new owners have created an inviting Italian vibe with nods to history & local landmarks. Staff was hospitable and responsive. Sunday brunch was a delicious retreat before taking on the day. Coffee. Eat the Classic breakfast. More Coffee. All good. read more

What a gem! The atmosphere is just the right amount of upbeat and friendly. The bruschetta was the best I've ever had with a great flavor explosion. The Margherita pizza was delicious - cheesy with a thin crisp crust and great flavor. I topped my meal off with cheesecake and it did not disappoint. My friend had lasagne and lemon cake. She reported both as outstanding. We both left with boxes of unfinished food, as the portions were generous. read more

Outstanding food (eggplant stack and Halibut). Outstanding service. Outstanding wine. What more to say?

we sat at the bar which is nice and cozy. i started with an aperol spritz and my partner had a Pinot noir. they brought complimentary bruschetta and it was good! for appetizer, we had meatballs - they were okay but could have used more flavor. the marinara and bread were tasty! I continued with a ChiantI and for entrees, we had sea bass Milanese and scallop dishes. Both were exceptional. the risotto could have been cooked a little more but tasted great. we ended dinner with a chocolate martini and a glass of pinto noir. I would recommend Sapori. I want to return and try more. they started offering brunch today. read more

We enjoyed our dinner. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We will definitely be back!!!

Fabulous atmosphere with food and service! Highly recommend. For a real treat, try the chicken piccata. read more

Wonderful food and service. Have eaten there several times since it opened. Love the remodel. Lasagna is outstanding.

Service was good and ambiance was fine, but there wasn't a lot of value for our money. There could have been more than two halves of an olive in my $6 salad, for example. Food was well presented, though, and entrees tasted good. read more

Excellent experience at Sapori. We were excited to try it after the renovations to Tucci's and the updated menu. Lamb ragu and chicken parm were great, as well as both the Caesar and Sapori salad. Started with the saffron arancini, which were outstanding. We are looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu. Our server Jewel did a great job and the service was all excellent. read more

Make reservations! We were supposed to be seated at the bar but someone walked in and took our spot. That's okay, because we had a wonderful time talking with the owner Al. He made sure we had a glass of wine while we waited for our table. The food was amazing. We had the penne alla vodka and lasagna. I would highly recommend them both, but really enjoyed the lasagna. The desserts looked wonderful but we were too full to try any. Vivian was our waitress and she did a great job making sure we were able to relax and enjoy our date night. Al kept checking in on all the guests throughout the evening. He truly wanted to make sure everyone had an enjoyable experience. Go...enjoy! read more

The food was average and service was fine, but the bathroom door jammed and left one member of our party locked in the bathroom. Luckily we sat close enough to hear them banging and yelling for help, and our server seemed like this happens often. The manager/owner and server were super rude when they got the door open, leaving our party really put off. GET YOUR DOOR FIXED. read more

Amazing food, service, clean kitchen and dining room. Their Chicken Piccata was the best ever. Ask for Al and he will take super good care of you. I highly recommend. Be sure to make reservation. it's a must. They always fill up. read more

The perfect place to enjoy friends, have a date night, or just an incredible dinner. Fabulous lunch or dinner and fabulous cocktails!

Holy smokes! The arancini was the best I have ever had! And I have tried a lot! A must try. Along with the Risotto and scallops!

Have had dinner there several times. A warm and cozy atmosphere. Food is wonderful. My fave thus far is the sea bass. Service staff are welcoming and attentive. So...win, win, win. And love the location. read more

Very unique Italian food! The best Aracini I've ever had! Al is the ultimate host. He makes you feel right at home. And the staff follows his lead! read more
