Hummus Pita
Emma B.

Ambiance was nice and cozy. Limited options for vegetarians. Pita pockets with hummus were atleast filled very full :), but I found the Garlic Hummus one was a little bland. Service was good despite being quite busy.

Was in town and needed an afternoon pick me up, so stopped in this adorable and cozy coffee shop in downtown Winona. So happy I stopped here because the service was friendly and fast and I loved my cup of coffee! From the outside, it looks small but upon walking in, it's much bigger with plenty of booths and tables to enjoy a meal or a cup of tea or coffee. I didn't get any food but the sandwiches and pastries looked good. It's a great place to come whether it's to catch up with friends, play one of the games they have or work!

Seating area

Stopped here on a Monday afternoon for lunch, seemed like one of few places in town open today. But so glad I did! Greeted with a smile and good service. Ambiance was chill, some people here studying and others here for a coffee, some here for a sandwich, like us. This place has great hoagies and soup. My boyfriend ordered the 1/2 ham hoagie with chicken soup and I ordered the 1/2 turkey hoagie with tomato soup.

"It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes." (The Godfather)…read more At Sapori di Sicilia, the message is considerably more appetizing: "Eat the pasta and nobody gets hurt." Walking in for the first time, I half-expected owner Eric Mullen to greet me with cotton-stuffed cheeks and a brooding stare. Instead -- as one Yelp reviewer memorably noted -- Eric looks like he's straight out of Super Mario, more likely to trade you a heavenly mocha for three gold coins than make you an offer you can't refuse. After a four-month pilgrimage to Italy in 2018 to learn the art of Sicilian cooking, Mullen returned to Winona and opened Sapori in 2020, filling a gap in the local food scene roughly the size of a horse head in a mobster's bed. The city desperately needed authentic Italian food, and Sapori delivered. No favors owed. No strings attached. *This time.* Everything here is made by hand: pasta, sauces, bread, pastries, and the gelato. The whole operation, with no shortcuts. The Bronze-cut Pasta: It clings to the sauce with the loyalty of a wartime consigliere who knows exactly where the bodies are buried. The pistachio pesto stands out, though it could use a touch more olive oil or pasta water. A minor grievance that doesn't warrant a trip to the river bottom in concrete shoes. The Pastries and Cakes: Genuinely dangerous. The Mascarpone cheesecake and chocolate cake slice are to die for -- and I mean that in the most Sicilian sense possible. Eat them. Tell no one. The Gelato: Should be under federal investigation. Light, creamy, and so authentically Italian it practically has its own accent. The pale green pistachio is rich, nutty, and deeply serious about its heritage. The Vibe: Warm. Hospitable. A real hit, but with zero cleanup crews required. The Verdict: Leave the gun. And for the love of all that is holy, take the cake and gelato too. You don't need a passport, a secret handshake, or a letter of introduction from a guy who knows a guy. Just show up hungry and show the proper respect.

Food was very good and authentic. The in house made breads and pastas were the star of the show!…read more The atmosphere is very comfortable and quaint. The service was great, we had a party of 12 and they accommodated us with great attention. Definitely recommend the gelato for dessert as well as a beautifully made cannoli enjoyed with a macchiato.
