Sapore in Birmingham

Visited here on business whilst at the NEC a few times. Pasta dishes are more generous than most and quality is great for the price.

Have been here a few times, and every time, it is consistent with excellent service and friendly staff. The food is fresh and beautiful with plenty of choice from the drinks, to the desserts and I couldn't recommend this place enough. Recently visited and we had two little ones with us, and they catered to them to, so very family orientated. Nothing is too much trouble.

The best italian restaurant in the area, with amazing food

A tough one this....fantastic that people have given up their xmas to serve us but the food was only very average tbh but the service & atmosphere wre both very good so it's levelled it back up a touch & I'm sure outside of the christmas period this is a decent restaurant...this is a christmas day dinner review

This is a lovely restaurant. The staff are very attentive and the food was great.

Beautiful meal. The Carbonara was superb, thank you

It was an amazing lunch with my colleagues after work, we really enjoyed it, compliments for the staff, tasty food and shine clean place

Thank you all for a lovely meal today.exellent service too.x

Had some takeaway pizza from here on Friday night and they were absolutely beautiful. Nicest pizza’s in sheldon. Price was about £13 per pizza which was very reasonable when compared with dominoes or Pizza Hut and was so much nicer food.

Es solo gracias al semáforo en rojo que nos detuvimos para probar este increíble restaurante italiano. Pudieron alojarnos sin reserva y disfrutamos de una de las comidas más sabrosas que hemos experimentado. Lo único malo es que vivimos a 3 horas y solo estuvimos aquí como nuestra hija estuvo en el concierto de Charli XCX... ¡nos vemos en el próximo concierto! x

This place was fine, though the music was a bit loud, which made communication difficult. The food was OK, though the garlic bread was devoid of the taste of garlic. The staff were slow to take our food order, though we did not have to wait too long until the food came out piping hot. Unfortunately some plates were warm and others were cold. Little minor niggles I know, but on the whole a reasonable place to eat.

Great little Italian restaurant. The food, like the staff was lovely. They listened to our comments on of their dishes which them implemented the next day for us.

Good food in a nice place and nice people. Yummy

Nosotros donde se expone en el nec y cenamos aquí dos veces. Excelente comida italiana mejor que Italia en mi opinión Burrata era increíble y la pizza no podía ser mejor. Eso combinado con un servicio increíble y un chef que claramente se preocupa Bien hecho chicos volveremos!

Nice, a little on the pricy side... but I guess we're living in a time where inflations hit the roof.

Visitamos esta noche para nuestra comida de aniversario el personal era muy amable y atento. La comida estaba bien, no hay nada que delirar desafortunadamente.

Great restaurant, wonderful service, great food ... every time! Highly recommend 👌

Limited choice. Starters were cold and main course under-seasoned. Terrible experience and overpriced. Avoid!

What an amazing restaurant. The food and staff were amazing, I celebrated my birthday tonight and they were wonderful. Staff are fantastic 👏 👌

Queríamos un italiano antes de volar y esto fue perfecto. El personal era excelente , servicial y amable y la comida era deliciosa llena de sabor y claramente cocinada por un chef competente . Los precios eran razonables y excelente relación calidad-precio

First time at an Italian restaurant, very enjoyable meal. Will visit again.

He comido en muchos restaurantes en todo el país, pero la comida y el servicio en Sapore fue el mejor que he experimentado. El filete era nada menos que excelente. El paté de hígado de pollo y tiramisú era excelente también y el merlot era moreish y muy razonable precio. Quedamos tan impresionados esta noche que reservamos nuestra cena de Navidad también. Por favor, venga a visitar esta joya escondida, no se decepcionará. Sé que faltan meses pero ya estoy deseando nuestra cena de Navidad. Saludos al chef y al encantador y atento equipo de servicio. Sin duda seremos clientes habituales aquí. Manténganse al día.

Fantastic food. The service was spot on. The atmosphere was very relaxing.

Despite being given the wrong starters, which we didn't complain about, the food was excellent. The service was good and on New Years Eve the chatter in the restaurant was quite lively and loud. Will definitely be returning.

Hermoso restaurante con personal muy amable. La comida que tuvimos era deliciosa y no podía fallar y en general fue una gran experiencia. ¡Recomendaría!

Visited with my daughter. I have coeliac disease and eating out is always a challenge. I really shouldn’t have worried as the staff were amazing. Very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Food was lush

Very disappointed this is now a halal restaurant which limits non halal eaters.

Went for lunch, good range on the menu, good service. I had the lasagne and loved it.

We went for meal and found the staff really friendly (thank you Maria)and a lovely relaxing atmosphere. The food was all hot and lovely and it was the best calzone I have had would recommend this place and it is reasonably priced.

Thoroughly enjoyed our date night at Sapore. The food wine and service was phenomenal and I’m looking forward to visit again!

Great food and services, it was delicious.

I came here for a birthday meal with my partner and was blown away by the exceptional food and very kind staff. 10/10 will be coming back and highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic outstanding Italian meal!

I took a good friend for dinner. The food was exquisite and the service was excellent. Very pleased with decision. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a great evening and fantastic food!

Me and my boyfriend absolutely love it here, it’s our favourite restaurant! The most perfect authentic Italian restaurant, the food is always amazing, great portion sizes, good prices and fabulous service! The staff are always lovely and are super attentive, they’re always happy to give recommendations, they know the food and drinks menu so well. Our personal favourites are the Penne Amatriciana, Lasagne and Spaghetti Carbonara 🩷 They also bring out a free appetiser of bread, a butter (always different flavours!), olive oil and balsamic vinegar! It really feels like you’re in Italy but really in Birmingham 😂😩 Definitely give it a try, a super underrated restaurant! Thank you so much for always making our date nights so enjoyable with amazing food and a great service!

This was our first visit and we were very impressed and will return when next in the area, just wish they were closer to home and not nearly 40 miles away. The seven of us really enjoyed our meals and my Calzone was fantastic.

Excellent food and service to go with it

Took my parents out for their wedding anniversary. The food was absolutely excellent, with great wait staff, just the right level of attentiveness, without being overbearing. Not the cheapest of places, but worth every penny! Thanks for a great night out.

Had a fabulous birthday meal ...

Fantastic food, service is also impeccable, polite and attentive. Would highly recommend

Food very good and service. Thanks.

Great value of food for the money spend. Amazing atmosphere, music in the background is setting the mood perfectly. Really friendly and helpful staff.

Mid week so was a little quiet.. the food was fantastic. I had gnocchi and my daughter had lasagne.. would recommend anytime..

Sapore is a wonderful place. The food and decor are lovely. The staff are very kind and helpful. This restaurant is good to visit if you have food allergies. All food is prepared fresh.

Sapore is a lovely restaurant. The food is wonderful and everyone was very kind to us. The atmosphere was wonderful. This is a good place if you have a food allergy. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Been today first time excellent,will defo be going back

Recommended. Delicious Italian dishes and lovely staff.

Very good restaurant, very helpful staff and good advisor 😊

I liked everything, except their special Italian beer. Though it's personal as my friend liked beer)

Great food and friendly staff. We been at Sapore many times and we always been satisfied. Nice atmosphere friendly staff and the food is fantastic and good value for money.

I will definitely come back, the food was so tasty and beautifully presented. I had the seabass with roasted vegetables and enjoyed it to the last bit. I also enjoyed the family kind of atmosphere and how relaxed both the staff and other customers were.

Nice Italian restaurant with fair pricing. Service was good and attentive with the staff happy to help and edit orders if needed. We visited on a Friday night and it seemed a bit quiet which is a shame as I found the atmosphere quite nice. Parking isn't ideal, but there is a side street you could park on. I found the food very good(spaghetti bollognese) a large portion, hot and made very well. My daughter ordered the Calzone which was huge, and I also thought tasted good. The chicken was a bit overcooked however which would be the only downside. A good experience overall

A lovely date night! The service was amazing and couldn't have been more helpful. Food was incredible. Thanks for a great evening x

Best Italian food I've had in Birmingham, reasonably priced too when compared with less impressive Italian restaurants in the city centre.

Mediocre food (considering the price). The cannoli was a bit bland in the filling. The tiramisu was okay (not as fab as expected considering other reviews) Staff were great. Overall… okay/alright

We don’t live in Birmingham but my mother recommended that myself and my husband dine here as she adores it. WOW!!!!!! You are stupid if you do not go and try the food here. We were blown away!!! Stunning food fabulous good old fashioned service and extremely friendly and welcoming people. Two people well travelled and ate in main places around the world. By far in our top 10 places to eat. Well done guys can’t wait to return.

Great food and amazing service 👌🏻👌🏻

Went to this restaurant as a family of four. The adults had the early bird menu. £13.95 for a three course meal. The food was beautiful!! It took me back to Rome. The children had just mains. There is a child menu. But mine children are 11,13. So will just have mains. The staff were really nice too. I would definitely go back. And it is just what the area needs.

Delicious and authentic food paired with great service

Excellent food and lovely service..,it was a good recommendation from our hotel which is about the only thing the hotel did get right

This restaurant is lovely, well lit and comfortable. Very nice table service and selection of food and drinks. I felt very relaxed and enjoyed the food. The only thing I was slightly disappointed with was the mixed salad that I ordered. I had to remind the waiter that I had ordered it and when it arrived it was just a bowl of rocket leaves with some parmesan shaves in it. I had imagined something with mixed leaves, olives, tomatoes etc. I wouldn't order this side again. Nonetheless I had a very nice time and the rest of the food was lovely, including the creme brulee that we had for dessert. Well worth a visit!

Food was excellent!......Well presented and very tasty. Service was equally good. It wasn't busy when we went but I've been to restaurants where it hasn't been busy and yet service has been poor. The lady who served us was very engaging and made recommendations which was nice. I will be going back again.

Fantastic experience, lovely food, friendly staff

Absolutely amazing authentic Italian cuisine. Fantastic service, it was such a treat to eat here - highly recommend

This wasn’t my first time at the restaurant but they never disappoint. The service and the food are just perfect. I would recommend to anyone if you never tried this fantastic place.

The risotto is so delicious that I was there the next again. I have been dinning here for about 5 years, the quality of their food and services just keep getting better 👌

We chose this restaurant as it was near the airport hotels and some friends were flying out the next day. None of us were local and we did not see any reviews beforehand , however we were ALL delighted with the quality of the food, the friendly service and cleanliness of the restaurant. The special menu available all day on a Sunday is excellent value. We all agreed that should we be in the area again that we would definitely book this little gem of a restaurant.

Food was excellent staff were very attentive

This Italian restaurant is a delightful find in the Birmingham area. The food is exceptional, with a wide range of Italian dishes that are full of flavour and authenticity. The service is excellent, and the ambience is cozy and inviting. A great place for a taste of Italy in Birmingham.

This restaurant has gone from excellent to very average. The service was ok but the food is lacking in freshness and was obviously frozen and defrosted quickly. The floor manager was uninterested in our needs and seemed to simply want us in and out as quickly as possible.

A great family run Italian restaurant It was a last minute booking for a Friday evening sand it was way to get a a table for us. The place had live music during the night. The portions are good as the taste. loved the pizza and pasta. Bread comes complimentary, so you can plan your dishes accordingly. I will visit again.

Great restaurant but only a handful of people in there and no music on. Food was great and like the tealights on each table - nice touch.

Bad starters. Mediocre mains. Fairly good wine.

This place is lovely and food is excellent but we haven't been for a while as the menu is small and hasn't been changed for some time . Would be nice to have a bit more choice or a new menu

Mum lives in Sheldon and we always land up.at Sapore for dinner. Excellent choice of food - freshly cooked and delicious. Their early bird special is excellent value for money. The whole team are friendly and attentive. If you live near by go and check it out. If your passing and want good quality food you know where to go!

The lunch deals are great value, as is the early bird specials!! Plus the food is amazing and worth a trip out. The service was amazing, very attentive and happy to alter items to suit dietary needs.

Staff were great! Food was delicious

Went for a Family Birthday meal. Place is very clean and tidy and the waiter and waitress were good but the food was dog awful. Dry. Bland. Some of the worst italian food ive ever tasted. My son had a carbonara and honestly ive made better at home. Garlic bread was dry with the least amount of garlic actually put onto it. We had a Pizza that was very poor. When you've had better from Dominos then you know this place is in trouble. Calzone tasted like a Findus pancake. Lasagne was like one out of a microwave. Straight up one of the worst eating experiences ive had and it cost me over £150. Bella Italia is way better than here. Good waiting staff. Clean and modern decor. Terrible location. Dreadful food and mega expensive. Never again.

Lovely independent Italian restaurant with good quality food and drink.

Oh Mamma Mia. We choose this place to eat the night before our flight based on the reviews ……mistake We ordered the goat cheese starter and rice balls but these honestly tasted and looked like mamma Mia went to Iceland. We then ordered the chicken in cream sauce with potatoes and chicken with tomato sauce and potatoes. The chicken was nothing to right home about and the 4 tiny potatoes that were stone cold and we left most of them. I would normal be sarcastic and make a joke about the place but honestly after paying for this meal I have lost my sense of humour and feel like the joke was on me. If I could give 0 out of 5 I would….. but Tripadvisor only allows a 1.

We arrived to a very warm welcome all staff could not do enough for us set lunch menu outstanding value for money and the food was heavenly recommend trying the coctails the cosmopolitan and the belini fabulous best tiramasu ever tasted food the food that good we have even ordered a pizza to take home can't wait to back to this wonderful resturant

Really enjoyed a family meal here. Felt welcome straight away, good Italian menu choice and pleasant atmosphere. Grazie!

Just had a lovely meal tonight 3 courses consisting of meatballs starter,chicken for main & tiramasu for dessert which was lovely

Great meal, affordable, wonderful and kind service. Would definitely return. Soup (potato), ravioli, pasta and fish were delicious. Chef / Owner is a true Roman. Thanks Chef and team for an excellent meal and experience :)

Tried the early bird menu and it was excellent from start to finish, I had calamari king prawn risotto and tiramasu, generous portions and beautiful food and excellent service. I will be back

Just beautiful fresh, tasty food. Mmmm. lovely setting, and you made us so welcome. 🥰

Fantastic food with discreet, and attentive service. Our second time eating here. There’s a great choice. The special was monkfish in a tomato based sauce with green beans which was delicious and a generous portion. Best thing I’ve eaten for manyyears in a restaurant. Three of us enjoyed the special and my husband looked on with jealousy. So good we forgot to take a picture. I’ve a dairy allergy which was handled with quiet grace - not my normal experience! Can’t wait to go back.

Lovely food and good service. Portion sizes are decent too.

We were a large party celebrating the 90th Birthday of our family matriarch... the staff were amazing & dealt with us all very well. The drinks were flowing, food orders taken. The food was superb, everyone enjoyed their meal. We will definitely come back but promise that it will be in smaller parties next time. Thank you so much for ensuring our evening was a lovely one, we were very impressed by you all..

Never fails to deliver delicious meals which are reasonably priced. Staff very friendly and happy to discuss menu choices with you

Lovely ambiance. Tasty food. We had a lovely late afternoon dine out experience. I broke a glass and they were so kind and understanding without making a fuss.

We went to see my parents for Father’s Day in Birmingham and Sapore was the choice of restaurant for Father’s Day It did not disappoint From the time we arrived to when we left the experience was amazing The food was delicious my Steak Diana was amazing you could cut the steak with a butter knife compliments to the chef All the dishes we had were amazing and the tiramisu was to die for The set menu had a great choice of dishes and was great value The staff were very attentive and so friendly nothing was too much We loved it and we will definitely be back Thank you Sapore

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff. Highly recommend! We hoghly recommend the tiramasu and bruschetta

Came here as a group of 7 for a friend’s birthday, staters came out we questioned the food didn’t taste ok but was told it’s all checked and waitress walked away uninterested, continued with the celebration as didn’t want to rain on the birthday celebration, in less than 24 hours 5 out of 7 of us were I’ll with sickness and upset stomachs I went into the restaurant a few days later to tell them manager said food is checked and again was uninterested, needless to say we definitely will NOT be returning

We had two absolutely fantastic gluten-free meals here. The olives are to die for and we had a lovely rocket salad. The staff were also very knowledgeable about what was and wasn't gluten-free, and the main courses were some of the best food we've eaten. Very friendly service. We've had a wonderful evening! Thank you 😊

Excellent as usual . Will be back

This place was simply wonderful. The food was authentic. The service was impeccable. Specific requests were adhered to and my colleagues and I were made to feel special. Thank you to the whole team for a wonderful evening and a special thanks to Maria and...

First time at this lovely homely place and I'm sure it won't be the last! Food was amazing and the staff were so attending! All our questions were answered about the food. Recommendations were made and the food was tasty! What else can you ask for.

Visited with colleagues, the staff accommodated all us well. Great service, beautiful restaurant and food was lovely

What a great place to eat in Sheldon, Birmingham. Staff are lovely, friendly & most helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. The food was great. The Madeira sauce in one of the steaks tasted a bit like cadburys chocolate so if you don’t like that...

Food not cooked to specified requests. Cold plates. Cold food. Sorry will not be visiting any time soon.
