Café Sapori

Café Sapori is across the bridge in West Palm Beach, on Southern Boulevard, and offers a more neighborhood-oriented Italian table than the Royal Poinciana Plaza cafés. Its official menu describes modern cooking inspired by historic Italian gastronomy and lists dishes such as orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage, pappardella with ground beef, and branzino piccante. The site says executive chef Luigi Spataro has more than 30 years of experience in southern Italian cooking and joined the restaurant in 2018.

Google Maps showed 4.3/5 from 705 reviews on September 28, 2026. Its displayed $20–80 per-person range was reported by 29 users, a broad guide rather than a fixed menu price. Visible menu highlights included ricotta ravioli and pappardelle with ossobuco, while the restaurant’s own pages provide the current lunch and dinner menu. For readers who want a full-service Italian meal with more choice across price points, Sapori gives the Palm Beach itinerary a useful off-island alternative.

The official site lists 205 Southern Boulevard, phone 561-805-7313, and hours from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Google Maps showed a 9:30 p.m. closing time on the date checked, so confirm before planning a late meal. The website links Café Sapori’s Facebook and Instagram accounts and offers reservations.

The restaurant’s range comes from the menu rather than a claim of being the county’s best: handmade pasta, meat and seafood preparations, and a location that does not require crossing onto the island. For a traveler comparing three very different Italian settings, it is the less formal West Palm Beach chapter of the story.
