Sapore Italiano Singapore: Wine and Salad

wine tinted shadows

Jazz plays. The shriek of the saxophone sounds like the cry of pain amidst laughter at the beach, with sea stung eyes crying salty tears and scratching hands speckled with sand. A pause in the quiet jazz, and the wave crashes again over our heads, bringing another wave of headiness from the deep, dark smell of the Merlot.

The seafood salad soaks in its glistening dressing, soaking up the flavours of the olive oil. The prawn, sweet and supple, lies amidst the bitter rocket leaves. Squid rings are encircled by mussels, and covered in oil tossed over the plate in a wild rhythm. I spear my squid, hoping to elicit the same reaction, but slick liquid presses into the dense meat instead. The tangy smoothness complements the chewy, yet soft and yielding white flesh. 

I press the glass against my lips and look up and out, past the window and its panes and a man in a bowler hat, to the night sky. I thought I saw the stars but they were mere reflections of the lights in the restaurant, with us.

Come to Sapore for great service, wine, salads, pasta and authentic Italian food.
