Business brought my wife and I to Fishkill around dinner time. We decided to stay and eat out there. We usually go to Trattoria Locanda, a restaurant featuring southern Italian, but wanted to try something different so we walked up and down the block. We paused in front of Sapore, a word that for some reason makes me think Japanese maybe it’s Sapporo the beer? The restaurant featured northern Italian. The owner was out front and told us that the salmon was great today. We reviewed the menu on our cell phones. My wife saw the rack of lamb and was really in the mood for that, so we went in.The decor was convincingly atmospheric, like a Coppola or Scorcese … or better yet, like a Franco Rosi film set, except it had me thinking southern Italy, not northern (and the so called southern restaurant Locanda across the street feels more like Milan, go figure). A waiter greeted us and we had a choice of three places to sit: the large dining room, the outdoor patio, or the one we chose, a smaller more intimate room with booths. 4.5 stars for decor.The water was uncompromisingly punctual and polite in his demeanor, and he clearly had an excellent memory: he ran through a very long list of specials without missing a beat. The staff get 5.5 stars.We each ordered a cocktail: a cosmopolitan and a gin martini. Both excellent. 5 stars.We ordered an appetizer special to share, which was excellent. 5 star. My wife ordered the lamb, and I got the swordfish special. I jumped the gun on desert, and asked if they had ricotta cheesecake. He said yes and pointed it out on the menu but it said NY cheesecake. Ricotta is light and fluffy, NY is dense and creamy. We have been living in the Hudson Valley for 6 years and have yet to find one restaurant with good ricotta cheesecake. He insisted it was the latter, and so it was, and it was perfect! They need to change the name on the menu! The wife ordered a carrot cake. Deserts: 5 stars.Sadly, the main entrees failed to meet our expectations. My wife’s lamb was bland. My swordfish was also bland, and overcooked to the point that the texture was dried out. Not bad, just not good. The presentation not something that one used to think much about even only 10 years ago but seems de rigueur these days at most better restaurants was also lacking. 2.5 stars.My wife has been to the sister restaurant in Newburgh and says it is excellent, so maybe the chef was having a bad hair day? We will give the place another chance the next time we are in town.

Excellent old school Italian. Huge list of specials. Amazing dinner for special family anniversary celebration. Large table but all the dinners came at the same time and all were excellent. Parking: Parking behind the restaurant

Considered everything from that restaurant, not much was good. Though the young waiter that had his first working day, did his very best to accommodate us, he was good. About the food: the starter, burrata with ham, was a small dish with some too thick sliced ham of low quality and hardly any burrata. Moreover the “burrata” was no burrata (a bag of mozzarella with cream added) but was at best some slices of mozzarella. My wife order a “daily special”, a flattened double veal chop, that was breaded and fried. It was a kind of a schnitzel that she likes. The meat tasted and smelled funny. I (sun of a butcher) tried it myself. The meat was not good, not fresh, if not spoiled. Told it to the waiter, he went to speak with the chef and came back within one minute telling that the owner told him to take it off the cheque. This made me suspect that the restaurant knew the meat was not good. Unforgivable. I order a rack of lamb and got five lamb chops!!!??? That meat was good and also cooked OK, but it was not what I asked for. Well it is clear that based on our experiences we cannot recommend this restaurant
