At Sabatino's Sausage Company there was dining outdoors. The hostess adjusted an umbrella to make sure I was in the shade. I had lunch. I ordered Italian sausage, green pepper and onion sandwich with a Moscato wine. I was served a complimentary cup of minestrone soup, warm Italian bread. The sausage is made there. It was mild flavorful. There restrooms were very clean. The server invited me to see the murals painted on the walls. She showed me the picture of the owner. I felt relaxed and enjoyed with my experience.

Real flavor with old country charm hidden amongst the boats. I loved this place from the moment we arrived. We were greeted repeatedly by all the staff and the owner himself who visited our table numerous times to chat...a genuinely sweet, kind, loving man with a quick whit... very personable. He invited me to walk through the rooms of the restaurant and explained the various wall murals of his family and those who have worked for him over the past forty years. The meat case is amazingly filled with freshly made sausages, stuffed bell peppers, and so much more. We both had the Eggs Benedict with Spicy Italian Sausage. A beautiful fruit plate was also served with fresh toasted bread. The olive relish on the table went so well with the fresh garlic bread. I want to go again and again to try their lunch menu items ASAP. Ciao????????????????????????

Our server was super nice and attentive. The Italian wedding soup that was given as an appetizer was so good! We had spicy sausage added to our pasta and now we know why they are known for their sausages. I love how parking is free too.

This restaurant has a unique location. It's right by the water, a mobile home park and boats that are being fixed. I think the location is great. The food is good and expensive.

Great atmosphere and India our server was great. Food was average Italian food. We had a sausage, pepper, and risotto appetizer that was delicious. Our entrees were ok and I felt a bit overpriced. But if down by the beach craving Italian it’s worth checking out.
