Nestled in the heart of Southampton, PA, Osteria Saporino is a cozy Italian BYOB restaurant that delivers authentic Italian flavors with a flair for fresh, high-quality ingredients and traditional cooking methods. This charming eatery brings Italian warmth and family-style dining to life, making it a beloved spot for both locals and newcomers alike. While the entire menu impresses with its Italian authenticity, the appetizers and veal dishes are standout highlights that showcase the chef’s skill and passion for Italian cuisine.
Starting with the appetizers, Osteria Saporino offers a delightful array of choices that set the tone for an incredible meal. A must-try is the Antipasto Saporino, a beautifully plated assortment of Italian cured meats, cheeses, roasted peppers, and olives, bringing together a variety of textures and flavors that pair perfectly with a glass of your favorite wine. Another favorite is the Calamari Fritti, served golden and crisp with a light marinara sauce. The calamari is consistently tender, and the subtle seasoning enhances the fresh, briny flavor. For a more unique choice, the Eggplant Rollatini offers thinly sliced, breaded eggplant rolled with creamy ricotta, topped with a house-made tomato sauce and baked to perfection. The textures and layers of flavor in this dish are superb, making it a perfect way to start a meal. Each appetizer provides a delicious preview of Osteria Saporino’s attention to detail and commitment to Italian tradition.
Osteria Saporino’s veal dishes truly shine. Known for its tender texture and delicate flavor, the veal here is prepared with care and served in generous portions, making it a satisfying choice for any Italian food lover. The Veal Marsala, a popular choice, is tender and cooked to perfection, with a savory marsala wine sauce that adds a touch of sweetness. The sauce is expertly balanced, and the addition of mushrooms gives the dish an earthy depth. Equally delightful is the Veal Parmigiana, which arrives with a golden crust, topped with melted mozzarella and a robust marinara sauce. The veal is juicy, and the pairing of flavors is as comforting as it is flavorful. Another standout is the Veal Saltimbocca, a classic Italian favorite that combines prosciutto and sage for a richly layered taste. Each veal dish offers a distinct flavor profile, yet they all share the restaurant’s signature quality and flavor.
While Osteria Saporino’s focus on quality ingredients and traditional recipes is evident across the menu, the appetizers and veal dishes hold a special place. They not only highlight the chef’s expertise but also provide an experience that feels authentically Italian. The restaurant’s BYOB policy further enhances the dining experience, allowing guests to bring a favorite bottle that complements the meal without the added cost of a wine list.
In short, Osteria Saporino delivers a remarkable Italian dining experience in Southampton, with appetizers and veal dishes that are a testament to fine Italian cooking. With its welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and impeccable food, this restaurant is an absolute gem for anyone seeking Italian cuisine with a...
Read moreI went to Osteria Saporino in Huntingdon Valley, PA for the first time on Saturday June 13th, 2020. It was the 1st Saturday after the Governor of Pennsylvania allowed Outdoor Dining at Restaurants (during Covid-19 Pandemic). So I was having dinner with my family and a few close friends, we were a group of 18. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and an early Father's Day dinner all at the same time. I was thoroughly and pleasantly surprised. OMG!!! The food I ate was absolutely delicious starting with my appetizers which were Fried Calamari and Mussels in White Wine Garlic sauce. You could taste the freshness of both the mussels and squid; they were definitely NOT Frozen food heated up. The Fried Calamari was cooked and seasoned perfectly with the tastiest light flakey crust. The mussels were also cooked and seasoned well and sauce was tasty. Then for my entree I had the Grilled Salmon with Capers in a Lemon Wine sauce and a side of capellini with olive oil & garlic. Again, the Salmon was seasoned and cooked perfectly. My Entire Meal was Awesome and it has been Years since I had a Perfectly cooked piece of Salmon from any Restaurant. And I'm a Very Picky Foodie. I love and appreciate Great Cooking. This Restaurant is a Hidden Gem. The Food well Surpasses any other Well Known Restaurant and other well known Italian Restaurants such as Cheesecake Factory, Capital Grill, Osteria Vecchia (in Newtown/Richboro, PA), etc. I made sure I Thanked the Chefs/Cooks at the Restaurant for such a Fabulous and Delicious Meal; I let them know how picky of an eater I am and that I ate every bite of food on my plates because ALL of my food was Sooooo Yummy. And Waiters who served our food, etc. took very good care of All 18 of Us; they were all very nice, helpful and accommodating. Everyone who comes to this restaurant will truly enjoy their Food and company. I so appreciate the Staff and Chefs & Cooks for being Open and Serving such great food during this Pandemic. Thank you Thank You...
Read moreIf you are looking to host an event, look no further and book Osteria Saporino. We had our rehearsal dinner here in May 2024 and had an absolutely perfect night thanks to the team here. First the food was absolutely incredible (my Italian grandfather has high standards when it comes to good Italian food and he was very impressed!) and there was so much food included in our package! But equally as important if not more important was how great the owners and staff at Osteria Saporino were with planning such a large event. We had 40 guests and my mother in law had such a wonderful experience planning our dinner here. the owner was respectful and helpful, and they were so accomodating. We wanted the patio at 6 pm on a Friday night (hoping for nice weather) so in order to do they basically reserved both indoor and outdoor space for us for months until we could determine the weather forecast. they were also so accommodating with menu changes for allergy restrictions for my gluten free husband, but also we had one vegetarian guest and they told us don't worry about making a vegetarian option be one of our pre-set choices if we didnt want to, and they would make something special from scratch for her. They also included linens and napkin color choices allowing my mother in law to make a theme. Lastly, the patio is so charming with the plants, string lights, umbrellas, it really gives an in Italy vibe and was such a perfect night for us! We will absolutely make a trip to return! thank...
