We had a great experience at Sabatino’s. Service was very prompt and friendly. Enjoyed the shrimp Parmesan as well as the chicken Alfredo. The chocolate mousse cake for dessert was great. The bread was slightly below average for an Italian restaurant like this. The restaurant had a true Italian feel. We would definitely be happy to return!

We had some of the best Italian food I have ever eaten. Many things on the men are made in house (ask). Large portions, great service.

The food here is impeccably delicious. There is a unique, old-school flavor here that reminds me of all the traditional restaurants I've visited in Italy. This is by far one of the best in the area. My table had their clams and handmade pastas. Thr serving size is very generous. There are many seats available, music in the background is soothing, and the service was outstanding. Everything was topnotch and pleasant. Highly recommended.

First time trying Sabatinos and really liked everything. It has the feel of an old time Italian restaurant. The service was great. The food was delicious. I had the chicken parmigiana. It was cooked perfectly! the fettuccine was a great consistency and the red sauce was fresh, vibrant, and balanced. One of the best marinara sauces I’ve ever tried. Couldn’t have been a better experience!

I came here for dinner with my husband and 4 year old, who can be picky. They had a kids menu, which was great and she loved the chicken fingers and fries. The gnocchi was so fresh and delicious. Everything came out quickly and tasted wonderful. The service was so friendly and everyone was helpful and accommodating. It was so nice to have an authentic Italian meal in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

Sabatino’s is a true classic! From what I’ve heard, this family-owned restaurant has been around for over 70 years—and it’s easy to see why. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. I had the rigatoni with grilled chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size was just right—not too small, not overwhelming. I actually surprised myself by finishing the entire plate—it was that good! A big shoutout to Diane, my server, who was an absolute gem. She was kind, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. With a menu that looks as tempting as this one, I’ll definitely be coming back to try more. Highly recommend Sabatino’s if you’re looking for a memorable meal in a truly special place.
