Sapore Italiano Ristorante

Food quality has dropped a lot. Stuffed zucchini blossoms filled with heavy mozzarella and covered in heavy donut batter. Should be filled with light ricotta and dipped in light/thin batter. Ravioli was cooked with BOTH browned butter and sage AND tomato sauce. Should be only one or the other. Used to be much better.

Found this authentic Italian restaurant in downtown Burlingame. Love this area but the street parking is difficult. We got lucky and a free space was there for us in front of the restaurant. This is a very narrow restaurant with 2nd floor dinning probably for private parties. There are two outside tables as well. There is also bar seating. You can tell the customers here were long time customers but all older. Seems this is also a favorite of business people but I would think it would be difficult to talk business as it can be loud inside. We didn’t have reservations for a Thursday evening and were still able to get seated. It was pretty full. Loved the free bread with garlicky red sauce. There were four of us so we were able to try each other’s food. House Pinot Noir - 5 Cesare with side of anchovies- 4 (many leaves were old) Calamari Fritti - 5 (big chunks and even had deep fried jalapeños and lemons in it! ) Spaghetti Vongole -3 (buttery and very garlicky which is good but needs cheese or something and be wary of the broken clam shells) Spaghetti Carbonara - 4 (pretty good flavor) Pollo Parmiggiana - 3 ( big piece of chicken was moist but this was not my fave) Salmone Alla Griglia - 4 (salmon was cooked perfectly) Everything was ok. Service is very friendly but too slow service for me or I was hungry. LOL. This place is more for someone not hungry but for a good sit down that you want to talk and take your time; like on a date, business date or friends catch ups. We didn’t get to try their Lava cake and Tiramisu. Would have loved to taste it but felt full waiting for service. Too bad.Maybe, next time.

Sapore Italiano Ristorante has the best deal in town. They have a lunch buffet for $9.99. With inflation, those deal aren’t really around anymore. The selection wasn’t huge, but it was a decent and delicious enough of a deal. There were 2 different pastas, salad, bread and fish. Enough to fill you up. We also ordered a special arugula, prosciutto and fresh mozzarella pizza. My friend is a regular and ordered off menu. Food is fresh, delicious and service was wonderful. Great family vibes and friendly service.
