Sapore di Mare Italian Seafood - Coconut Grove

"It’s hard to miss that cheese wheel pasta topped with truffle currently dominating everyone’s social media feeds, and this is the place to get it. This quaint seafood restaurant boasts that decadent cacio e pepe dish and many others like pasta stuffed with grouper cooked with zucchini cream sauce and clams, steamed crab meat tartare, and burrata cheese with Sardinia anchovies." - Olee Fowler

"Sapore di Mare is a classic Grove Italian spot that specializes in pasta and seafood. It’s a cute restaurant, with a tiny dining room and (where you really want to sit) a secluded little patio out back. We like the seafood section of the menu best, especially the various crudo and carpaccio dishes. The pasta isn’t quite as impressive. They do an off-menu cacio e pepe that gets tossed tableside in one of those huge parmesan wheels. But it ends up overwhelmingly cheesy and way too heavy to comfortably finish. Stick to one of the lighter pasta options if you’re in a noodle mood, like the pear-stuffed agnolotti di pera. But even that isn't quite as good as the seafood options here." - Ryan Pfeffer

"Feel transported to the Amalfi Coast at this Coconut Grove restaurant decorated with nautical fixtures and splashes of blue. The menu brims with Italian seafood dishes such as grilled octopus, scallops, and branzino served with choice of side, but also features chicken, steaks, veal, and the popular cacio é pepe served inside a cheese wheel. Salads, appetizers, and desserts are available to round out the meal, as well as a selection of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines (which are currently available for 50 percent off to-go)." - Stacy A.

"Sapore di Mare has shifted into an Italian market model selling items to create meals at home along with produce, pastas, breads, and more. A limited menu is also available." - Olee Fowler
