Ristorante Sapori

Ristorante Sapori sits on Victoria Road in Exmouth, family-run and Italian through and through - from the kitchen to the dining room. The menu spans starters, pasta, risotto, mains, pizzas and desserts, drawing on recipes from across Italy's regions rather than sticking to one, and there's a proper vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free range alongside it, with wine and spirits imported from Italy to match.

The lasagna comes up again and again in reviews as a standout, with more than a few diners rating it the best they've had, in Italy or otherwise. It won Best Italian Restaurant in Exmouth at the Quality Business Awards in 2024, and it's open every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner, taking both reservations and takeaway orders. With a 4.9 Google rating from 253 reviews, it's the kind of neighbourhood Italian that locals treat as a genuine destination rather than a fallback.
