very nice place. looks family owed but im not sure. they were super packed on a Thursday night when we tried to go. we had to wait a while for a table but everyone inside was looking like they were having a blast so we were excited to wait. the food was very good and the servers were very nice. I wouldn't mind going back

Very busy and understaffed as all restaurants so you can’t knock them for that. Expect a bit of wait on the weekends. Their chicken broccoli ziti was probably the best I’ve had. Risotto was a bit over cooked but still good. Would recommend.

First time here and i was impressed. Very good food, wait staff was excellent and great value for my money. Atmosphere is good, but loud. Think of it like a big family table , where everyone wants to be heard. We will be back!!!

Been taking my dad here for lunch since my mom passed. Can’t say enough good things about Laura the bartender. She is amazing! Always a smile and friendly conversation. Treats my dad like a king. I’ll keep coming back as long as Laura is behind the bar! Lunch menu is excellent.

I've been a fan for years! This family owned business takes dinning to the next level. Some of my favorites include their escarole soup, veil or chicken saltimbocca, hand stuffed blue cheese olives for my vodka martinis and lemoncello cake. The staff is friendly and attentive. My family and I love coming to Sabatino's!
