Sapori

literally fell in love with this place after trying the lasanga. even though it does get really packed during lunch and it’s quite expensive, it’s pretty much worth it because their sandwiches are amazing, and also the staff is very nice. overall i will be coming here regularly.

This new Italian deli is bustling and busy at lunchtime with all of the people who work nearby in Westminster and Victoria. It is near where I work and everyone in my office raves about it and longs to go here for lunch (I overheard one girls say, ‘oohh, I have lunch envy!’ when she saw another girl had gone to Sapori for lunch). As much as my colleagues love Sapori, they also ration themselves because of the high prices here.
After hearing all of the talk about this place, I had really high expectations. I had the prosciutto foccacia with sun dried tomatoes, which was warmed for me. The proscuitto was ok but felt like I was eating hunks of raw meat somehow. Maybe it was just the consistency! The taste was good overall but the bread was pretty dry and not too flavourful, and for a 4-​pound sandwhich I was hoping for a bit more. Everyone continues to rave, though, and they do tend to run out of their sandwiches so you need to get there early if that’s what you’re hoping to get. Personally, I’d rather walk the 5 minutes more to have a wealth of other sandwich options for much cheaper, but I’d be up for trying Sapori again.
