A pleasant place to have a really nice meal.
Nothing over the top or overpriced about this place. The meals were reasonably priced, with a good selection to choose from. The serving size didn't leave you wanting for more. The most important thing though is they tasted incredibly good! The food here is nice and the staff are very friendly although when it is busy you wait a long long time for service.

Date night here the other week! We'd been here previously but it had been some time since our last visit. We managed to score a table fairly quickly as it wasn't too busy when we arrived however once we got our meals it picked up considerably. My seafood spaghetti was generously packed with fresh prawns and tasted amazing.

Their food sounds really good. A friend of mine visited this place a couple of months ago and agreed that the service and meals was great.

We had lunch here on a weekday. We had a table in the window with a lovely view over the water. It was not very busy at the time.
Our waiter was very attentive and helpful, and the food was delicious.
The decor seemed a little dated, but a lot of places in St Kilda seem to be like that.
The restaurant has been awarded a Michelin chef's hat on several occasions, which, to my way of thinking, means that the food is quite expensive.
Just a note to those using their Entertainment book here: there were three of us, and two of us had mains while the third had an entree serve. The book says "buy one main get one free" but they only gave us the entree for free. When I queried that, the waiter said that was their practice, and if we had all had entrees only, one would have been free. That is not how other restaurants understand the offer.

Approximate cost: $35

I dined here a couple of weeks ago. They specialise in modern Italian cuisine. I had the seafood linguine which was full of the freshest most beautiful seafood I think I've ever had. It was beautiful. I can't remember the exact prices or what my boss had but it was about $85 all up.

Have been wanting to come here for a while but as i have a very long wishlist i knew it was going to take a while.

They have recieved 1 hat from the Age good food guide for the last several or more years this year being the exception.

I had my chance when i saw there was a voucher off one of those sites i receive regularly in my email So i bought it and booked straight away.

Well located in Fitzroy St it was very easy to locate.

The service & the food are both of very good quality,professional.
I would highly recommend Sapore to anyone who likes Italian food (who doesn't)
The gnocchi with rabbit is spectacular. I was a bit skeptical of ordering rabbit. But i definately don't regret it. I'd suggest anyone to go to Sapore NOW

Sounds really good

Sapore means flavour in Italian, and yes their dishes speak up to that name. The duck with spinach was lovely. Service is excellent. It is fine dining so most mains are just under $40, but well worth it for a special night out.

Approximate cost: $40

I had probably the best steak i've ever had here and at $40 it wanted to be! Wagyu beef surrounded in spinach and puff pastry and it melted in the mouth!! It was very busy when we went (not surprising as the food is so good), maybe a little cramped and the waiter was a little flustered, but the ambience is good and the architecture is pretty cool. Probably a good place to take your girlfriend for a romantic dinner in summer!

We ate at Sapore with some friends last night. They recommended it having been there a few times before. The restaurant has a cosy, classy and modern feel and has recently been renovated. We all ordered the Eye Fillet steak as a main course and were very impressed with it. It had a great crust on the outside but was perfectly cooked inside (medium) and had a very minimalist chopped mushroom topping.

We also ordered some sides to share starting with a rocket & parmesan salad it amazes me how restaurants get away with charging $8+ for a bit of lettuce and some shavings of parmesan but I guess people like us keep buying it!. We also had truffle mashed potato with was fantastic, with just enough truffle so it wasn't overpowering.

Approximate cost: $35
