Il Sapore cafe

Shockingly good spot — don’t judge it from the outside Honestly, this place is the definition of don’t judge a book by its cover. From the outside it looks a little run-down, and inside there’s only two small tables, so I wasn’t expecting much. But the guy working there is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met at a food spot. I had no idea what to order, so he just said, “Don’t worry, I’ll whip something up for you.” Bro… he brought out this hero on the crunchiest, freshest bread I’ve ever had — stuffed with chicken, tomato, pesto, and some kind of cheese magic. Easily one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in NYC. My friend wasn’t even hungry and only wanted dessert. He didn’t like what they had premade, so the guy literally made him a whole new dessert on the spot. Like who does that an

The owner and his associates here are great. They're so warm and funny. A great neighborhood place. The pizza is crispy, not soggy at all and flavorful. The homemade gelato is awesome as well. Will definitely come back. Do yourself a favor and try this place

A mom and pop place. Had minestrone and ravioli. Bought a plate of cookies for Christmas. Lovely owners take pride in their dishes. Excellent recommendations.

My brother always orders here and I was in town and decided to try. First impression was very quiet, clean, and welcoming. Very nice breeze with door open - fresh air. The owner was very friendly and so was his staff - all smiles. We ordered a pie with two gelato and chicken roll. Oh My God! The Pistacio and cioccolato (Peter helped pronounce correctly lol)Gelato was absolutely delicious, smooth, and flavorful! They also have pastries quality authentic Italian Food love it 👌🏻. Now when we got home the chicken Roll, and pizza delicious! Did I mention all made fresh ;) It is fairly priced a must try and plenty of parking. Will visit agian! Thank you Peter for the experience :)

Found this place after landing at EWR from Georgia - amazing! Don’t let the storefront area deter you from going in. Fresh baked bread for our caprese panini and our 17yr old son ate 3 huge pieces of pizza. The owner is so nice and wants to be sure you love it. No way not to! Seriously great food and a super nice guy!
