Italian Standards to a Familiar Spot

Sapori is a fancy/comfortable restaurant on the outskirts of White Plains near the County Center. At once cozy and elegant, the restaurant has an intriguing layout, yet the space feels comfortably familiar to diners. Many rooms, alcoves and private nooks suddenly open and then close out of sight.

The kitchen dutifully marches through Italian favorites. From starters of grilled gamberi (shrimp topped a serving of delicious beans and salad enlivened with bits of cherry peppers), steamed mussels, beef carpaccio, soups and salads. Sapori’s aim is to accommodate diners so all pastas are homemade and available in half portions too.

Indulge in a garlic and olive oil bound tumble of cavatelli with slices of juicy sweet sausage and broccoli rabe. Try the Bucatini Amatriciana with pancetta, onions, tomato, chili pepper and parmigiana. Chicken scarpariello both on and off the bone the garlic-and-rosemary-scented meat is succulent, its sweetness enhanced by discs of savory sausage. Equally appealing is the thick, juicy lamb chops done precisely medium-rare. Not to be missed the wonderfully creamy butternut squash risotto with seared sea scallops (a special) mingled into a dish. Nicely prepared garnishes like shiitakes, buttery cannelloni beans, baby string beans and carrots adorn the salmon or halibut. House-made desserts complete a wonderful dinning experience. The desserts range from the excellent tart-sweet apples strudel our to frothy tiramisù or a light, moist ricotta cheesecake or a decadent heavenly chocolate mousse cake, extraordinary in its cocoa richness.

The five star award winning wine list is easy for the novice to navigate but will also impress the oenophile in the bunch. The staff is knowledgeable and often has hidden gems tucked away in the vast wine cellar.
