"Sapporissimo is a wonderful little gem....authentic Italian food, wonderful Host and service, great for dates or family dinners alike. I am a foodie and I would be back there in a heartbeat! The ambience is wonderful because it feels like you are in a little Osteria in Italy! One of my favorite spots around!"

"Magnifico, at last 100% genuine Italian cuisine and an intimate, homey environment. More like dining at a friend's house than a restaurant. Hope this place doesn't get too popular. They currently are on Groupon. We're going back again next week for an encore."

"My wife and I tried this restaurant for the first and we used a Groupon coupon. They were nice enough to take the coupon on Saturday since it said only to be used on Monday -Wednesday. Anyway we felt since we were using the coupon the attention of the staff and owner was very scarce especially we watched them interact with the other tables. In fact the owner never came over to see how we enjoyed the food, but he did go over to the other tables. We also mentioned in our reservation that it was our anniversary and nothing was ever mentioned by them. Why put down any special occasions on the open table reservation if they do not look at it. Now the food, the food was very good but we did have to ask twice for our wine which was not that cold."

"- A great find. Host/owner very pleasant and accomodating. Food was outstanding. The best Osso Bucco I have ever had. The house Rigatoni with boar meatballs was very tasty. An overall super experience. We really liked the intimate and homey atmosphere. The owner takes great pride in his restaurant. We will definitely go again."

"Good homemade preparations with much less (unnecessay) salt included, a welcome feature. My salmon was fishy tasting, suggesting it may have been around a while. Other dishes were delightful. Breads are great, from some nearby bakery. Overall, this is a higher priced restaurant but perhaps with great potential and certainly refreshing as a small, non-chain slternative off the beaten track."

"Old Boca restaurant. Groupon gave us an abbreviated menu with a good selection of their food. Their bread is amazing, that probably sounds strange, but I LOVE bread and its quality was an indication of things to come. Salads were good, my dining companion had duck which she declared to be among the best she had ever eaten. The lobster ravioli was good, but not outstanding. The dessert we wanted was not available. What we had was fine, but probably didn't provide a good test of the kitchen's capability. An interesting take on Italian food. There are better Italian restaurants out there, though its pricy, it's worth a try."

"This was a first time visit and a special occasion (20th wedding anniversary). Everything was really very nice. It's a small but intimate place. The menu was genuine northern Italian and eclectic. The food was served nicely warm. The owner was a friendly and funny genuine Roman. The only negative was that the restaurant was very warm. No central air just a wall unit. Glad that it was a Tuesday night and not packed or it might have been too uncomfortable.
Definitely will come back."

"We went for our anniversary....so disappointing! The food was tasteless and overpriced. One of the worst meals in recent history. I had the stracchiatella soup, which I have had elsewhere. It is normally made with a chicken broth base .....this one tasted like water.....I would be surprised if they even waved a chicken over the bowl. My main course was one of their "specials," the tiniest portion of quail on a bed of bland, tasteless risotto. The only good thing was the wine, a nice Malbec. The coffee was weak...we switched to espresso, and the desserts were eminently forgettable. My advice? Go somewhere else."

"The service was impeccable! No request seemed a bother. My only problem was the cost ($110 with tip for two with each having one glass of moderately priced wine) versus quality of food. Portions were large and nicely plated. My veal was very average and really did not taste like marsala. For $27 it should have been much better. The salad was bountiful but the tomatoes lacked taste.
A nice touch was the glass of sparkling wine before dinner which is complimentary. You have to ask for it and the waitress knew nothing about it. Wine servings were quite generous.
It is a romantic spot!!
I do not understand Open Table not giving us dining points??"
