Sapori Italiani — Restaurant in Newry, Mourne and Down District Council

Server was really nice and friendly, honestly a lovely guy (didn't catch his name)

When issues were raised an offer was made to replace the food, however not accepted as food was so poor. The owner just listened to complaints but did not take it on board. Boyfriends Carbonara was bland and had hard bits like bone in it. Owner said that it was tendon, tendons are chewy not solid and uncuttable with a knife. My Tagliatelle pollo was bland, there was a piece that was chalky in texture with a horrible aftertaste that the chef insisted was a mushroom however I know that mushrooms are chewy. I was sick shortly after leaving the restaurant due to the horrible food and as I'm writing this my throat is still burning from it. Ate half a portion each to really try find any redeeming qualities in the food but my boyfriend has actually admitted he has had tastier ready meals from supermarkets. Owner asked us at register after all of that was it our first time here and honestly it shouldn't matter if it was our first, fifth or hundredth time, it wasn't good. We were fooled by the good reviews as well as other people who have left bad reviews.

All in all it just wasn't a nice experience and we...

The Sapori is an Italian restaurant on The Mall in the centre of Newry. This business is a well loved local icon which has been here for over 20 years! Having said this, the interior is very modern with a strong Italian theme. As always we had a fantastic meal with them and I was pleased to see a vegan risotto being clearly added to the menu. We started with the Focaccia to share which comes with some condiments and a lovely garlic oil drizzle. For my main I had to try the risotto and was not disappointed, the flavour was great and the fried aubergine was delicious. I will add, I have had a vegan pizza here before (pre-roasted veg and no cheese) and it was delicious! I can't speak for all vegans but I think this was perfect and deserves a place on the menu too 😁 Overall this is a family run business with a great service and delicious food, I would definitely recommend...

Rainy day in Newry, but my lunchtime visit to Sapori Italiani brought sunshine to my meal. This restaurant wasn't very busy this lunchtime which was surprising given the quality of the offering. Had a nice 'amuse bouche' before my starter arrived. This was mushroom wrapped in a pastry and a couple of mini bread sticks which I had with quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. My starter was "calamari fritti" on a bed of lettuce with ali oili mayo. Delicious. The "penna pasta pollo & fungi" as the main course was equally delicious. Portion sizes just right for the middle of the day. Qu as lity beer and an americano finished off this lovely repast. The special lunchtime offer of two courses for £6.95 just cannot be beaten. A delightful discovery after a fee visits to Newry over a number of years. As General McArthur said afterthe battle of Batann,...
