San Sabino offers an Italian coastal-inspired menu with creative and often seafood-forward dishes. The "Neapolitan Lobster Roll" has been a subject of debate, with some finding it unique and others feeling it's light on lobster. The "Lobster Triangolini" and "Lobster Ravioli" are frequently praised, as are the "mussels" and "crab dip". However, some diners have found dishes like the "Shrimp Parm" and various pasta dishes to be average or disappointing in flavor and portion size.
"The Lobster Triangolini and Lobster Ravioli are frequently highlighted as must-try pasta dishes. Other recommended items include the crab dip and mussels."
Customer feedback is largely positive, with many praising the restaurant's fun food, great cocktails, and enjoyable atmosphere. However, some find the experience overpriced and the portion sizes small, particularly for certain dishes.
Important Note
Reservations can be difficult to obtain, and some diners find the restaurant to be overpriced with small portion sizes.
