Founded in 2001 by Chef Anthony Barbente, Sapori Trattoria is a cozy spot favored by locals in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Despite being a Chicago native, Chef Anthony spent a part of his life on his grandfather's farm in Italy, soaking up anything and everything about the "Italian way." It was this experience that secured Sapori's success a couple of years later, despite a rocky beginning.

Today, Sapori Trattoria is well loved for the juxtaposition of their upscale food within a decidedly casual setting. Bestsellers from Sapori's menu include the luscious six-hour osso bucco along with homemade pastas like the cappellaci di zucca and the lobster ravioli. Diners who prefer seafood should also try the restaurant's signature dish, the zuppa di pesce, which boasts over 2 pounds of shellfish and fresh seafood.
