In Short
The understated exterior of this small house turned Italian trattoria exemplifies the restaurant's attitude of graceful simplicity. The intimate dining room makes for perfect date nights with dim lighting and attentive staff, while a tiny bar offers a more relaxed place to enjoy a bite or a glass of wine. Sagra prepares filling Italian fare from the finest ingredients, ranging from wild boar osso buco to small, rustic pizzas with a variety of fresh toppings. Don't miss the popular bellini brunch on Sundays mornings.

My husband and I dined at Sagra on Monday night. I have to say that I really had high hopes for this place. First, the location is perfect for us and the atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice. It got a little loud toward the end of our meal but that's to be expected in a small place and it didn't bother us a bit. Our waiter (sorry I didn't get his name) was excellent. He recommended a good white wine for me and red for my husband. I really liked that he offered us a taste prior to our making a decision on the wine. I also liked that the other waiter working at the time and our waiter basically worked together. If the other waiter saw that a plate needed clearing at our table, he cleared it. Nice teamwork. We ordered the appetizer of the day, Crab Brouschetta. It was a pretty bland crab spread on bread that was too hard. I noticed another customer trying to cut her Brouschetta with a knife and was unable to do so. There was no choice but to pick it up and eat it (which is what I did anyway). We decided to try their pizzas since they came with a lot of positive reviews. I ordered the Prosciutto Arugula and my husband ordered the Tartufo. My pizza would have been okay but the center of the crust was soggy. There was no way to actually pick up a piece and eat it because the toppings would fall off the soggy part. I usually love prosciutto and arugula together but it somehow doesn't work with pizza sauce. My husband's pizza was interesting in that it had a top crust but he said the flavors again just didn't work together. I tasted it and really thought that the truffle oil didn't belong in that pizza. Anyway, we didn't complain to our waiter cause we just didn't feel like ending our dinner on that note. Also, we had absolutely no complaints about the waiter or the restaurant itself. Unfortunately, we just didn't enjoy the food.

My fiance and I ate there for the first time the other night and we had to go back the very next night. The staff was friendly and very polite. The Arugala Salad is to die for, I think its the truffle vinagrette that sends my taste buds to heavan. I strongly reccomend this restaurant and their Pizza's are awesome, we had the Quatro Formagio.

What a great restaurant! We were recommended to this restaurant recently and were not disappointed! The food is absolutely amazing. My husband had an excellent boar dish in ragu sauce and I had the most delicious snapper. Try the tiramisu, it is the best I have ever had. The decor is cozy and great for any occaison. The service is excellent and very attentive. If you like wine, they have an unbeatable list. The food was so good we still talk about it and plan to go back very soon!
