Sapori Di Napoli

We were a little unnerved when the gps claimed we had arrived. But as we turned the corner, we had indeed ! It is down a flight of stairs. Very welcoming. Homemade bread and a spicy antipasto of sorts to start. I had a mushroom garlic tomato and egg noodle dish. It was delicious! Not too much pasta in it like you’d normally get at a chain Italian restaurant. My husband was teasing me saying that the food better be good after having driven so far, and it was! I wish our neighbourhood had a restaurant like this within walking distance to our home. I hope the locals know how good they have it.

After reading all the great reviews and seeing a youtube clip on Facebook of a comedy sketch by the owners son, I had to give it a try. It was late Wednesday night around 9:30 pm, restaurant was almost full which is always a good sign. We ordered an all dressed pizza and caesar salad. They started us off with a spicy sauce and some bread, which was nice. Then brought us our order, the caesar salad had too many dark green roman leafs and the sauce wasn’t that great. Then came the pizza, very oily, both the cheese and the dough. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad place but for me it did not live up to the hype. Maybe they were having a bad night. All I know is I Will be sticking to pizza Napoletana.

A warm inviting atmosphere. We’ve been over 15 times in the last year, everyone goes above and beyond to accommodate. Parking may be a little tight, however totally worth the wait. Prices are beyond reasonable, and food is nothing but delicious! A word of advise to all, the zeppolis are an absolute MUST! Anyone with anything negative to say about this fantastic restaurant should stick to upper class restaurants, this place is home away from home!

Always impeccable service & amazing food wish I could come more offer. The atmosphere is warm & inviting. Would recommend to everyone who has the chance to visit. Keep up the good work.

We came to eat here for the first time and the food was just incredible! Don’t be fooled by the quiet neighborhood! This place is a jewel! We had arancini and salsiccia with rapini, delicious! The tomato sauce is incredible with the arancinis and the rapinis cooked and seasoned to perfection! We shared a pizza which was also delicious! The white pizza they give you as bread could have been my meal as it was also really delicious! We came out having eaten like kings! No room for dessert although I saw some tables having the home made donuts with Nutella and the cheesecake which also looked delicious! The espresso and cappuccinos are made barista style.
All in all, super authentic and friendly place! Would go back again everyday!

Came here on Valentine’s day as I wanted to try a nice italian restaurant. At first, it seems like we we’re entering a basement but once we got inside it was beautifully decorated. Great customer service and very nice waiter who made sure everything was to our liking. They served us garlic bread upon arrival. We ordered a lasagna and all-​dressed pizza. Food was tasty. Reasonably priced. We would definitely come back.

I decided to eat here for lunch with a friend during a weekday. We found it alarming walking in to see it empty of all clients besides us. Usually, that’s a bad sign but I’m glad that my dining experience went completely against that bad sign.
Sapori Di Napoli, which is located in the basement of a building is a homely resto with spacious seating and a distinctive Italian décor that screams of the old country to you. The music is clearly Italian with a flavor of the napoletan and as someone who lived in Naples for 2 years as a teenager, a smile formed on my face.
Kindly note, as an Italian who’s favorite resto is «Casa Di Mama» (Mom’s Cooking!), I’m a very harsh critic of Italian food and service… so let’s see how it went.
We decided to split an order of calamari and we both went with the tomato/​basil gnocchi from the Unilocal pictures already provided. The calamari was very good, with the right amount of chewy/​crunch ratio to make it a classic dish. The gnocchi are made the old fashion way, the right way, with homemade pasta with homemade sauce. The gnocchi was good but I was a bit disappointed by them as they were smaller sized than I expected them to be and I didn’t really taste the tomato/​basil with a somewhat weak liquidy sauce. All in all, they were alright but I probably should have went with something else, like their Pizza.
For desert we both ordered a Cappuccino and a Tiramisu. The Cappuccino was decent enough but seemed to be off somehow. The Tiramisu simply wasn’t for me. Perhaps it’s the way my mom used to make it but I didn’t like it at all. Too liquidy, flavor wasn’t there.
The best part of our visit was our waiter Guido who was very friendly, accommodating, funny and amiable and took care of us. We got immediately served with the most delicious warm garlic focaccia bread that was simply phenomenal (and the best thing we ate!). I mentioned to my friend how I should bring my wife here as garlic focaccia is her kryptonite and would LOVE IT. At the end of our visit, Guido provided me with a huge bag with warm garlic focaccia to bring to the wife. WOW! During desert he provided us with free freshly made donuts as well. They were very good! I was blown away on his service. 5 STARS!
And the wife LOVED the garlic focaccia and we’re now coming back… for good reason! I want to try their pizzas, arancini balls and those delicious donuts again! Once this is done, I’ll update this review to the 5 stars I’m sure it deserves!!!
As for the resto being empty on week days, the problem is mostly location, I’m sure if the location was closer to the main streets of St. Laurent (it’s located smack in the middle of very residential streets, so weekdays it’s pretty quiet and weekends require reservations apparently) it would be otherwise full. With this type of food/​service… no doubts about it.
Will come again.

Mon test ultime de la pizza: commander la plus simple (margherita), arriver à la manger en entier et pleurer de bonheur. En plus toute l’équipe est super sympathique!

Mamma Mia! I’ve been back three times and keep wanting more of the authentic italian dishes served at this rare pearl of an Institution. The homemade ricotta gnocchis are tight and tender, chewy and meld beautifully with the rich flavored tomato and basil sauce! As for the pies there are so many choices. My favorite so far is the pancetta and arugula pizza which is simply heavenly!
Located in the basement of a bordeaux cartierville residential complex, a few minutes by car from Marché Centrale, the recently opened Sapori Di Napoli is a worthwhile detour for any real Neapolitan cuisine fan. I will be back to try their famous lasagna!
Note: You can see pictures of many famous actors including actor Steve Schirripa, also known as Bobby Bacala Baccalieri from «The Sopranos», who enjoyed a couple of meals here while filming in Montréal.

Perfect Pizza! Love this spot. The pizza here is legit and the meatballs are insane. Really fun vibe here. Will for sure return. Ask for Guido he is the
