Located on Clifton Street, Sapori Restorante Italiano Blackpool is a unique restaurant that has earned plaudits from every guest who has visited it in the past. Luckey, my restaurant-hopping colleague and I went to this interesting place on a weekday. It was her treat this time, and she had taken care to book a table for us. Which was just as good, as Sapori, ranked 11 among the 700+ eating out places in Blackpool by TripAdvisor, can get pretty busy even on a weekday.
This was to be a typical Italian dinner, so we occupied our allocated table by 07:10 p.m. The waiters were upon us within a minute, so it was up to us to tell them to hold off for a bit while we studied the menu. It is a fairly large menu with antipasti, pane, pasta, carne and many more categories. They have a bar where hard spirits are available, as well as a wine menu and soft drinks. We did not look at the desserts as we were full up to the gills after the starter and the main courses.
Eventually, we settled for a shared antipasti, a Crocchetta Di Pesce (described as Smoked haddock and spring onion fishcake served with home-made tartar sauce), followed by a separate main for each of us. While Luckey ordered a Salmone (described on the menu as "salmon fillet cooked in a sauce of white wine, dill and cream served on a bed of mashed potato with vegetables ", I settled for Gamberoni (described as King prawns cooked in a sauce of garlic, tomato and a hint of cream. Finished with Gran Marnier). We did have a drink each that complimented the menu items to some extent.
Here are the pictures of the foods we ate:
It was a delicious meal. The king prawns were very tasty and the gravy of tomatoes and cream was excellent indeed. I did taste the salmon as well. It was not spicy, and it was really smooth and well-cooked. The fishcake was great as well. No complaints at all.
At the end of the dinner, we thanked the staff. One of them, who is one of the owners, greeted us personally and requested us to visit again.
Ratings:
Food: 5 stars
Presentation: 4.5 stars (I deducted half a star because they used soy sauce in all the three dishes to decorate them - no variety).
Ambiance: 4.5 stars
Hospitality: 5 stars
Overall Rating: 4.5 stars
