Color me impressed. The Sapore Italiano caffé-bar has opened on our island with style. Whether it’s espresso coffee in the morning, a pizza for lunch, or a nice after-work aperitivo (with a free buffet spread!), you can enjoy gourmet food all day long. Welcome to gourmet paradise!

With over 20 outlets worldwide, their goal is to spread Italian culture and provide diners with a true Italian experience. There are specially imported Italian beverages and authentic Italian food. Many of the staff are Italian. Even the flat-screen TV screens show Serie A football!

A tasting session comprising various gourmet food reveals that this is so much more than just a bar.

Pizza

Order pizza! That is my first advice to any customer here. You can’t go wrong with the house specialty of Pizza SI SI, which is the squid ink pizza.

Dish rating

I’ve had black pasta before. As for black pizza, that’s definitely a first.

The pizza is smothered in a succulent tomato gravy with a good spread of seafood such as octopus, squid and prawn. The marvelous seafood flavor that fills the mouth bite after bite easily makes this the most enjoyable pizza I’ve ever had. Mmm… And that’s not all.

Pizza gourmet food

Check out how thin the crust is! Minimal carbs! Yes, you can indulge in this pizza without taking a guilt trip or ditching that Atkins diet.

Tagliatelle gourmet food

Dish rating

The chef’s special pasta of tagliatelle with a mild-flavored sauce comes with slices of chicken breast meat. The accompanying cheese wafer is crispy and delightful, and adds much taste to the dish.

Soup

Asparagus soup gourmet food

Dish rating

The chilly days ahead are the perfect occasion to warm up to some cream soup. The zuppa di asparagi is good comfort food. Instead of the usual bowl, it’s served in a tall glass! While the texture is mostly creamy smooth, some small chunks of asparagus remain intact, providing that characteristically tender chewiness.

Next: We sample the house brand coffee and specially imported cocoa, as well as the designer gelati.

To answer your question, the difference between cappuccino and latte is the amount of milk and foam used. Cappuccino has more foam and is only for drinking BEFORE breakfast. Latte has more milk and is a late night drink to be had with Dessert. Espresso is for throughout the day.

  Thanks! That’s a very clear explanation. My favorite among the three you mentioned is cappuccino. Now that you mention it, it is definitely foamier than latte. I wonder who set the rule that it’s meant to be a before-breakfast beverage.

      Those murals and soda labels are really hot! Italian men are a sensual breed.

    To the Italians, eating food is like a ritual. There are a lot of traditions when it comes meals and the way they’re consumed. Italian food is so tasty though, it’s probably just a reason for them eat non-stop. lol :)
    BTW: The gelato looked WONDERFUL at Sapor Italiano! Yum!!!

  You are not alone; the black pizza was a first for me, too! It is very delicious and memorable, definitely worthy of being the house specialty.
