I went to Sabatino's for lunch today and ordered the Rigatone with Italian Sausage. The rigatone was a quality, lightly ribbed product and the sausage appeared to be made in-house. It was lean meat (with enough fat for flavour) and has a pleasant fennel note. Some of the sausage came had come apart into little nodules and some stuck together for larger chunks, so there was a nice variety of texture. The sauce was a pleasant, somewhat spicy arrabiatta made from quality tomatoes. For dessert I had the tirimisu. As one usually finds, it was more a cakey production than an authentic, 'wet' tirimisu, but it was still fairly delectable. Marscapone cheese, a slight hint of rum I believe, garnished with strawberry slices and chocolate drizzle. My waitress was attentive and polite, and my water glass didn't stay empty for long despite my high intake. A good experience overall.

I've been to Sabatino's about 40 or 50 times over the past six or seven years, and I have never had a bad meal. They are consistently one of the best Italian restaurants on the Semiahmoo peninsula. La Baia on Marine Drive is better for food, but it isn't open for lunch, and Sabatino's decor feels more contemporary, and parking is categorically not an issue here.

We have been to this local restaurant quite a few times and find the dining experience to be very pleasant each time . Lunch time menu $10 for 10 different items was very good. The bread basket was refilled as many times as you wished . The hostess and staff very attentive . White table cloth napkins ,quality dish ware and silverware makes this dining experience a cut above the competition .

We made reservations weeks in advance to celebrate a special anniversary.
We arrived at the designated time to find no table ready in the dining room
for our party.
We were shunted to a small table in the bar area. Service and food were okay,
but we will never give this restaurant another chance.
When you make a reservation and inform the restaurant of a special occasion,
it is disappointing in the extreme to find your wishes are totally ignored.
We might as well have walked in off the street after grocery shopping.
Perhaps this is the only type of clientele this establishment is looking for.

I've been eating out a lot lately and my client suggested this local place. I got to meet one of the owners - Dom who seemed to be a very pleasant chap.
The service was quite good and the kitchen quite accomodating. I asked if the linguine vongole could be prepared a l'olio and garlic instead of the standard white or red sauce... it was not problem and it was well prepared. Pasta was al dente, just right. I started with a chicken and vegatable soup which was also good. The restaurant is lively, but not overly crowded, which is good. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
The menu has a good mix of pasta, meat and fish dishes.

We went to Sabatino's for my son's Birthday last night. In the past we had always been happy with the food and service at this restaurant. One of our guests did not like his Caesar salad. When he mentioned to the server that he did not like it, since he was not fond of Anchovies, the server proceeded to give him a long speech on how Caesar Salad was always made with Anchovies. Since the server never offered, I had to ask if perhaps he could bring something else. My friend simply said no thanks and he would pass on salad. The server left the salad and said that maybe someone else would like to finish it. When we received our bill, we saw that we had been charged. When I tried to talk to the manager, he proceeded to give me the same speech about the Anchovies. As I tried to point out to him, the bottom line is that the customer did not like it and should not pay for it. Why bother asking us if we enjoyed our meal? The manager seemed put out that he had to deduct a $7.00 item from the bill. Customer service certainly isn't what it once was.

We like dining here when we feel like a good solid dining experience with good service, a bottle of wine (or two) and expanding wastelines. One of the better Italian restaurants in Surrey. A bit more $$ but worth it. All the staff work hard to provide a pleasant experience. Try to save room for desert.

Great family restaurant with tasty food. One of the few restaurants in the area that serves a consistently outstanding meal. Not trying to be something they aren't or resting on their laurels like the posers at Giraffe. Service is great and the food is fresh.

didn't know this restaurant was tucked in the corner of Peninsula Village. Very good friend and I went out to celebrate a milestone birthday for me. This place was close to both of us so gave it a try. Shared a prawn appetizer, 2 prawns each, very tasty. Both of us had pasta, my friend had more meatballs than pasta and my penne with smoke salmon was very good. Portions weren't huge but okay size for 2 woman. Dessert was very good. An apple tart thingy in phyllo pastry which we shared. Nice selection of wines. Would recommend to others.

Sabatino's is a nice surprise this side of the fraser river. I like the occasional visit to the chain restaurants but there aren't many family run upscale places in Surrey I'd recommend. My wife and I have heard of this restaurant a long time ago but never took the opportunity to eat there, until June of this year. We've been back at least once every couple of weeks, it's in our restaurant rotation.

We eat out alot and I'm a pretty picky eater. They've been accommodating in each case removing items I dislike from dishes and/or suggesting alternative ingredients. If you like Garlic I recommend the Elephant Garlic Appetizer it's quite delicious. Served with a small bed of greens, Goat Cheese and flat bread. Pizza is ok too, thin crust it looked like they had a wood burning oven.

Organized my wife's birthday party there, they have a private room in the back seats around 15 people and french doors can be closed. I haven't seen this in many other restaurants it made for a private and enjoyable evening.

If you're looking for good italian food at a fair expected price near the white rock area, consider this next time you're hungry for italian.

We went there for a night out, I loved my stuffed mushroom appetizer and my husband loved his calimarie. I had stuffed pasta for dinner and I couldn't even eat it, but my husbands steak was alright. The waitress was friendly and pretty quick considering she had to take orders, serve, and make our drinks herself since they had no bartender, plus she had a full house. I don't think we would go back there though.
