Rare MrSchwump Posted February 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We ate at Sabitini's for the first time on our most recent cruise (just disembarked today). One word of advice....go there hungry! I felt bad but I couldn't come close to finishing everything served and I'm a big eater. Several things were unfamiliar to me, like the buratta, but all were really good! The main course was the veal wallet and by the time it came up, I was stuffed. If I had this as home it would have been time for a doggie bag. We were a party of 4 and everybody loved what we ordered but no one could finish. Except for the dessert! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted February 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2018 While many would not agree, we like Sabatini's much better than the CG. Yes the amount of food they serve is way too much and simply delicious. It is always easy to get into Sabatini's most nights while the CG lines can be long so another plus for Sabatini's. The buratta is simply divine. Glad you enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzsnooze Posted February 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I prefer Sabitini's to Crown Grill, recently was there and everything was wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted February 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 26, 2018 That's a big reason we don't go to the specialty restaurants anymore. We can't eat what is served and don't like leaving a pile of uneaten food to be tossed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Thrak, If you didn’t have all those :whiskey-glass: :whiskey-glass: :whiskey-glass: :whiskey-glass: Before your dinner you would be able to finish it. Just kidding your friend.

The last time we ate in Sabatini's our waiter started taking lots of lobster tails out of the shells. I thought he was going to serve everyone in the room but he put them all in front of ME! OMG! I could only eat two of them and was embarrassed to leave so much uneaten food on the table. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MrSchwump Posted February 26, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted February 26, 2018 MrSchwump, Thanks for the review. Just wondering, what is a veal wallet? How was it prepared? Regards. It was sort of like a stuffed pork chop. The veal was sliced open so as to resemble a pita pocket. It was then stuffed with cheese and other tasty goodies. It had a light breading. Really good!

esstheman Posted February 26, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I take it you're talking about the new Sabatinis, and not the old, Olive Gardenesque one they still have on a few ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnatsis Posted February 26, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 26, 2018 In our opinion the new Sabatinis menu is not as good as the old menu - The new pasta dishes from Chef Angelo Auriana—executive chef of Los Angeles restaurants are just strange...

XBGuy Posted February 26, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 26, 2018 We visited Sabatini's twice on the Grsnd Princess last September. This was with the new menu. We were uncomfortably stuffed after the first visit. So, we changed our strategy for the second visit. There is an off-menu appetizer that they put on your table. It consists of a few slices of prosciutto, which are excellent, and a wire conical basket of these cheese-filled "dough balls." I don't know what they are called. They are wonderful, but, boy, they are dangerously. They could be called "gastric grenades" or "belly bombs." On our first visit we ate them all, and, as I have reported, we paid the price. On our second visit we each limited ourselves to one of these. That turned out to be much more pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knbcruisers Posted February 26, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 26, 2018 XBGuy thanks for that info. We are on the Coral soon and Sabatinis has the new menu. I’ll make sure DH and I don’t blow our appetite on the 1st course[emoji2] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted February 26, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Is it possible to simply limit the courses served to those one wants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MrSchwump Posted February 27, 2018 Author #18 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Is it possible to simply limit the courses served to those one wants? That is DEFINITELY what I'd do! The "belly bomb" things are good but just have 1. I could skip either the soup/salad or the pasta course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumptowngal Posted February 27, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 27, 2018 We ate at Sabatinis on the Regal the first week of February. It was absolutely the best dinner we had the entire week both in terms of the quality of the food and proper service. It was well worth the $25 extra charge per person. In contrast, the Crown Grill was a real disappointment and I wouldn’t return there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedferg Posted February 28, 2018 #20 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I went to Princess website to see if Sabatini's serve steak as an option. We go to CG because one of our group insists on steak and is not big on Italian. I found two different Sabatini menus - Sabatini's and Sabatini Trattoria - the first has Bass and Steak, the second does not. Further research showed Trattoria is on Grand and Caribbean - Sabatini's is on other ships. We will be on the Crown next so maybe Sabatini's will satisfy all of us. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
