  The staff has local wine available which is great!  The food is very unique for the area, and when I say that it's a good thing.  It's a small place which is nice if you are looking for a quite nice time.  Very friendly staff.  Highly recommend if you are on the Chautauqua wine trail and looking for a nice place to eat.

  We had a group of eight for dinner.  I have read reviews on other sites that the service was horrible.  Our service was great!!  The food on the other hand...
  
  Three had the Chicken Tortilla soup, which all agreed was just broth and horrible.  I had a salad, lovely greens, but there was no choice in dressing, and it tasted all vinegar with no flavor.
  
  As for entrees, three of us had the tenderloin ordered medium rare.  They were deep, deep red, very, very rare.  So rare they were cold.  Too rare for me, so I traded with my husband who had the Ribeye.  The ribeye was better cooked and very good.
  
  There was no salt and pepper on the table, so we had to ask.  We were brought sea salt without a grinder, so we were chomping on crunchy salt.  
  
  Some pluses:  the atmosphere was very neat.  The wine was excellent and a great selection.  Prices are very reasonable.
  
  Also, it was cold inside.  I had on long sleeves, and I wanted to wear my down coat.
  
  We won't be back.  Sorry.

  4.5 stars for a wonderful summer lunch, although this place could easily earn 5 stars upon a follow-up visit for dinner.
  
  Sapore is a modern yet unpretentious winebar that offers an eclectic assortment of "peasant dishes" from Southern Europe and South America, which includes things like lasagna, tortas, and empanadas.  While the dishes are hearty and substantial, many are served almost in a tapas style, which means as individual plates.  Prices were quite affordable given the quality of the fare and ingredients.
  
  I ordered the empanada de pollo with a side of ginger-marinated purple cabbage (included w/ the entree) and a cup of the three-squash bisque.  The soup was very true in flavor to the wholesome summer ingredients, rather thick, and with a bit of a nutty and peppery kick.  The cabbage was crisp and tasty and the spinach-based pastry shell of the empanada and artichokes within provided a modern twist to this traditional Latin dish.
  
  Others at our table ordered the lasagna carne (meat lasagna) and torta pasquelina (a Spanish quiche w/ chard) and were equally pleased with what came out of the kitchen.  The Johnson Estate Traminette was a wonderful local wine to accompany our meals.
  
  Service was prompt and polite, but do keep in mind that meals are cooked to order and that good food takes a little time.
  
  The desserts in the cooler looked too good to pass up, but we opted to skip them until our next trip to Lake Erie, when we are sure to stop at Sapore again.
