5 /5 Ree: My grandad’s local authentic Italian restaurant is Nuovi Sapori, and he’s been going for countless years. I’ve been lucky enough to eat here twice, and wanted to leave a review expressing just how wonderful this place is. The owner, Sergio, is charismatic, kind, and charming - always making time to chat and happily accommodating anything we need.
On my first visit, I had the king prawns to start. The tomato and garlic sauce, along with the potato pancake they come with, are absolutely outstanding. My grandad’s go-to for years has been the baked avocado with crab. For my main I had the salmon on spinach - a simple, honest dish full of flavour and beautifully cooked.
On my second visit, we booked in advance (super easy - just call and they’re incredibly helpful). We had zucchini fries on the table, which are always great, and their bread, which comes with the most amazing tomato oil. For my main, I had the special: tuna steak with salsa verde and broccoli. What a wonderful meal. The tuna was cooked perfectly for me, and they even offered to adjust it on request (not needed!). Packed with flavour - I would happily order it again.
Someone I was dining with had the veal Milanese and spaghetti pomodoro. While I didn’t try the veal, it looked wonderful and got great compliments. I did try the pomodoro, and it was exactly what you want from a charming, honest, brilliant Italian restaurant - simple but perfect.
For dessert, we had an affogato, tiramisu, and a cappuccino brûlée - all lovely. Drinks service is great too, with excellent house wines. It’s a warm, welcoming venue run by an incredible team.
Looking forward to coming again to try more of the extensive, wonderful menu. Cannot recommend here more for a fantastic lunch, evening meal, or special experience.
