    Nice ambiance, friendly waitstaff and delicious food. Waitress was knowledgeable and happy to provide recommendations. Service was prompt. The restaurant was pretty full as it was a Saturday night but it was easy to carry on a conversation. Will definitely return!

    As usual, Laboratorio kitchen did not disappoint. The Sole was perfectly cooked and served hot over spinach and haricot verts…. And it was delicious. The appy’s and desserts were fresh and delicately prepared. Lastly, service was on point. Another great dinner experience, Bravo Laboratorio Kitchen.

    I can't say enough good things about this spot. My wife and I had heard great things, but it took us a while to make our way here. I've never had Italian food this good. My wife and I ordered an appetizer, 3 entrees, and dessert, and I swear all of them were equally amazing. Meaning, your eyes roll up in your head when you take your first bite because it's THAT good. Such a wonderful experience. Thank you everyone at Sapori
