Fodor's Expert Review Trattoria Sapori d'Italia

Experience real Italian food in a quiet backstreet off Copacabana's main tourist drag. With a very limited menu of pizza, gnocchi, polenta, and tagliatelle and only five rustic wooden tables, Sapori d'Italia attracts with its homey and simple taverna-style setup, warmly furnished to resemble the dining hall of an Italian countryside home. The atmosphere is simple but intimate, and the food is the most authentic Italian you can find this side of the Titicaca. It's open daily only from 5:30 to 9 pm.
