Our Story

La Nostra Storia

Three generations of Italian culinary tradition

From Tuscany to San Francisco

Sapore Italiano was founded in 1995 by the Rossi family, bringing authentic Tuscan recipes to San Francisco. What started as a small family kitchen has grown into a beloved neighborhood restaurant, but we've never forgotten our roots.

Every dish on our menu tells a story - from Nonna Maria's legendary bolognese sauce to our wood-fired pizzas inspired by the streets of Naples. We believe in honest, simple food made with the best ingredients and plenty of love.
