Buongiorno Italia at Sapori at Tailors!

For a genuine taste of Italy, particularly Rome and Calabria, Novocastrians need to go no further than Sapori at Tailors.

Opened by Romans Fabrizio and Francesca Virgili in January 2021, it is now a firm favourite for locals and anyone looking for the authentic traditions of Italian fare. And when we say authentic, we genuinely mean it!

Sapori means ‘flavours’ in Italian, and that’s what this rustic restaurant is all about - flavours and traditional cooking that is true to the origins of the recipes handed down through the family.

“We care about keeping to traditions and making everything from scratch with the best produce. We import a lot of ingredients from Italy because we want authentic flavours. The Italian speck is much less fatty than the Australian speck; the salami is spicier or more flavourful. It is all about the flavours,” says Chef Fabrizio.

And the menu offers flavours aplenty. From the Arancini Funghi to the traditional beef and pork Lasagna topped with fresh parmesan and basil and the Gnocchetti with Prawns and Zucchini.

You’ll find this delightful gem at the Islington end of Beaumont St (Number 10, to be exact). Bookings are recommended as this restaurant has quite the following.
