Day 1: dropped over $200 at Sapori on pizza, soda, etc., for everyone. Day 2, went to get sandwiches for them at Colonial Pantry. He parked in his same spot from the day before, honestly not realizing he was in a Sapori-only lot. Oh boy, an employee came up front and ripped him a new one. He is still holding the Italian grudge as the months go by- swears he will never go back. Such a shame she didn't recognize him. We have been going here for years.

Actually a 2 person show. Either MGR./owner greeted us and offered where to sit. The venue is small and quaint. It is BYOB and the waitress came back to open wine and offer sparkling or tap. We started off with the gentlemen recommendation of bruschetta. It arrived and it came out warm. My wife was ok with it. Me I liked it. Next up we split a bolongese tagliatelle pasta dish. A perfect mixture of Veal, beef pork was hands down one of the best bolognese pasta dishes I have ever had. I am first generation Italian and have been blessed in my home. Their bolognese was special. My wife had the chicken dish spinach and potatoes. She liked it thought it was a tad sweet but did like it. I had the pork medallions with potatoes and spinach. Both dishes were cooked perfectly. My pork was a tad sweet but mixed with the potatoes and spinach was terrific We ended up with a lemon dessert that came out warm and was delicious. In addition had another raspberry dessert from establishment and that was delicious. The place is small well lit pretty windows to view. The other patrons were all enjoying their time. No drama and couldn't ask for better patrons. The waitress was excellent and my wife and I truly loved this place. We will be back keep in mind reservations are needed. We were fortunate to score on a Friday. Their are nine tables why reservations are needed. They also offer a prix fix just in case and is reasonable. I will definitely be back and I'm doing that bolognese pasta not on a share but as a main. Terrific place Recommend

We had reservations for 4 for an early Saturday dinner. We were greeted as we entered and seated right away. The dining area is small so obviously reservations are highly recommended. Our waiter was super lovely. He introduced himself to each of us at the table and asked us some questions. We brought wine and drinks with us and he was very helpful opening everything and keeping our glasses full. For an appetizer we ordered the Burrata and Bruschetta. Both were excellent and a great way to start our meal. Before we ordered our dinner, we were greeted by the manager (owner?) who introduced himself to each of us again and told us the specials. I decided to have the Tagliatelle al Ragu and my husband has the Cosciotto di Pollo. My Tagliatelle was amazing! I loved the pasta and the sauce was so delicious! It wasn't too much pasta where I felt disgustingly full afterwards. It was the perfect amount and the sauce was surprisingly light. My husband loved the chicken thighs he ordered and highly recommends it. Everything was so fresh! After our dinner we ordered a few cappuccinos and desserts. My husband and I shared the Creme Brulee and Panna Cotta. Both again, absolutely delicious. Make sure you save room for dessert when dining at Sette, you won't regret it! Thanks for a lovely couple's out evening. It was greatly appreciated by all of us!

Heard this place has really good food . I recently moved to the area and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately the first time will probably be my last time, I ordered two dinners and a pizza and couldn't believe how expensive it was. The pizza was average at best, and the dinners were nothing special. The price was outrageous and the attitude of the people working there was less than desirable. Next time I'll try Piattino instead, it's got to be better than this place! read more

So they gave me oil and vinegar and it was spiced with the right herbs , I don't think you need to ask what dressing goes on a Greek salad , seemed obvious to me. I ate half of the salad , packed the rest . I kindly wanted to bring to the attention. To the chef that there were wayyyy too many chopped red onions .

I called ahead to check availability, and I'm glad I did! We didn't have a reservation, but thankfully the manager let us know that they'd have a table ready for us around 7:20pm (it was roughly 7pm when I called). My husband and I were just down the street, so we decided to go ahead and make our way there. Once we got seated, we were quickly greeted by our server, Mike. He was very attentive and friendly! We later learned that it was his second day on the job, which we found shocking as he did such a great job! As for the food... I'll be honest, I was a bit disappointed. I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana (my favorite Italian dish) and my husband ordered the Risotto Primavera. The Eggplant Parmigiana was not crispy at all, which was super disappointing! It had a great flavor, but I prefer a crispy texture so this didn't really hit the spot for me. It came with linguini noodles with tomato sauce, which was very bland. Whatever sauce they used did not have a great taste to it. As for the Risotto Primavera...it had a RICH flavor to it. My husband said "it's good, but not good enough to order again". I, on the other hand, didn't like it as I thought it was just too rich in taste. The food wasn't the best, but I'm giving them 4 stars because the overall service was fantastic! Everyone was so attentive, helpful and friendly, from the host to our server to the manager. It's rare these days to find a team where everyone is pitching in and happily doing so!
