We dropped in on a lunch time without booking and pleased to find we could get a table as a quiet spell. The food and service was really good, we liked the music playing in the background. I'm sure when it's busy it has a real buzz. We had garlic bread, main Ans pudding too.

When I asked my wife where she wanted to go for dinner on her 50th birthday, she said Sapori. I offered to take her to the Ivy in Chichester or anywhere else, but she wanted to go to Sapori.Starters were ok.My wife ordered a Margarita Pizza with artichokes. I ordered a spaghetti carbonara. Pizza arrived, with anchovies and not artichokes. It was sent back. I then heard a waitress tell another 'the carbonaras are ready'.They then bought out four plates of carbonara and took them to tables.A short while later - my wife's pizza comes out followed by my carbonara.The sauce was all in the bottom of the plate, it was obvious it had been sat there under a salamander since the others had been ready. The sauce had a skin on it. I tasted the sauce and it didn't taste of cheese, you couldn't taste bacon. I called the waitress over and sent the dish back, explaining why I had done so. I wasn't rude ( just not my way - gets you nowhere). I was offered a replacement, but declined.Another waitress, I'm assuming the manager, came to the table asking why I had sent it back. Her manner was over assertive, bordering mildly aggressive. I explained as I had done previously.She went to the kitchen and returned telling me the chef had tasted it and it was fine. I said I did not agree.I was then asked if I had mixed it up in the bowl ? ( I never realised a carbonara came with instructions ) I said I had not and explained again that it had been cooked with the others and had a skin forming.My wife finished her pizza, and I paid the bill and left. The waitress, two in fact, apologised. I said it was fine, not to worry.But here was the worst bit. As we left the restaurant, the manager shouted a sarcastic 'thank you' from the kitchen.Why do I say that? No guests that left before had received the same, and the sarcasm was plainly obvious.Really nice - upsetting my wife on her birthday. Everyone has a bad day at the office, but the manner of the manager was quite unpleasant.Eaten there several times before. There won't be another

Relaxed, spacious restaurant yet still small enough to feel intimate. Friendly staff who don't rush you and make you feel genuinely welcome. Delicious, freshly cooked food - can totally recommend the olives and garlic bread to share and pasta dishes for a main. Party of 8 enjoyed sampling most of them! Will definitely return.

Lovely tasting pizza, except soggy where the server spilt tea on the pizza.They took my pizza away but returned with the plate dried but partly soggy pizza. Our table wasn't wiped either.I used my napkin to dry the remaining spilt tea so I didn't get it on my clothes.

A great spot for some great food. The staff were friendly and welcoming. On a Friday, without a reservation they found us a spot to have a great meal. We felt well looked after and the food was great. We will be back!
