Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Customers rave about the incredibly friendly and attentive staff, who enhance the dining experience with their welcoming demeanor. The vibrant selection on the menu stands out, particularly the vegan risotto and pizzas, which have been praised for their flavor and authenticity.

Another highlight is undoubtedly the impressive wine list, boasting a variety that perfectly complements any meal. Dishes like the garlic bread and lasagne often come up in conversations, with many diners mentioning how they couldn't resist ordering them again after their first try. Additionally, the casual yet cozy atmosphere is a big draw, making it an excellent spot for special occasions or casual family dinners.

Most Disliked

While Sapori Italiani is highly popular, some diners note that the restaurant can get quite busy, especially on weekends. This sometimes leads to longer wait times for food and service, which can dampen the experience. A few patrons express a desire for more vegan options on the menu, as some feel that the options could be broadened.

Additionally, occasional hiccups in food timing have been mentioned, particularly when the restaurant is at full capacity. However, many customers find that the exceptional quality of the food more than makes up for any minor service delays, highlighting a common sentiment that the flavors and dining experience are worth the wait.

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 giving it a try!

We just happened to pass by and thought we would try it. We loved it so much we've made a booking to go back next month. I had the bruschetta with gamberi, absolutely delicious followed by gamberi, gnocchi and a courgette puree. I cleared my plate!! The pizzas that my family had were also delicious. Sorry no food photos as I was just busy eating!!

Last minute decision to book a table at this restaurant. Best decision we made for a Saturday evening. Sapori Italiani offered authentic Italian food that was cooked to perfection. Additionally, the restaurant is beautifully situated next to the water within Newry City centre. The interior design is also very contemporary with a touch of class. The most notable aspect to our experience here were the extremely friendly staff members. Will definitely be returning here soon to explore more of the menu

We have been meaning to visit this restaurant for so long. Its situated along the cobbled streets of Newry beside the canal. The decor is Italian themed and some nice ideas like parts of the ceiling decorated and items hanging, fairy lights etc. The staff were very welcoming and attentive at all times. For our starter we had a medley of 5 foods; garlic bread, pizza, tomatoe pasta, rice salad, the food was stunning. We then ordered lasagne and spaghetti carbonara, I have Nguyen never eaten freshly made spaghetti and I recommend you do as i have tasted anything like it. Absolutely delicious. I have never tasted as nice spaghetti in my life. Then we had tiramisu and a selection of desserts, truly one of the best desserts I have ever had. Very very reasonably priced. Don't think about it, just go, you doing be disappointed.
