What's this?

These are confidence labels. They show how sure we are that what we publish still reflects the restaurant's current practice. They are not a judgement on the restaurant; the wine and cooking are scored separately, out of 100.

  • Beta means assessed and scored, but we are still confirming some details (such as the current wine list) and the restaurant has not yet had the chance to correct any factual inaccuracy, so it is published with that caveat.
  • No label means a fully confirmed entry.
  • In development means not yet a review. It appears so you can see where coverage is coming.

Restaurants often change their menus. The date beside the label says when we last reviewed.

We assessed Sapori Restaurant and Bar in October 2026 and this review is based on the food menu and wine list at the time of the review. As menus and wine lists change, we name styles in order for the information to remain more useful as menus change. If things have slipped you can use the Vinealto Dining app including accessing an up to date reading using 'At the Table' from the wine list in front of you in the restaurant. How we assess

Sapori is a smart Italian restaurant in Anstey on the edge of Leicester, cooking modern Italian dishes beside Neapolitan pizza and an eight course tasting menu. Its 82 bottle list ranges widely across Italy's native grapes, prints the grape and vintage of every still wine and sets a glass beside each tasting course, though dessert wine is thin. It suits diners who want to explore Italian wine beyond the familiar names, ideally through the tasting menu.

Ascough's Bistro

Market Harborough, Leicestershire

Modern European bistro

Ascough's is a modern European bistro in Market Harborough cooking a compact, monthly-changing menu at an accessible wine-included price. The wine programme is far more ambitious than the room's size suggests (style-banded with a tasting note on every wine, flights, real Champagne and a serious Port-and-fortified finish), and it is built above all to be easy to use. It will most reward the curious drinker who likes to explore a well-explained list by the glass or the flight without spending much to do it.

Sysonby Knoll Hotel

Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire

Modern British

Sysonby Knoll is a family-run hotel dining room in Melton Mowbray serving comfortable, seasonal modern-British cooking from pub classics to a few more ambitious plates. Its short, gently priced list pairs an own-label core by the glass with a scatter of well-chosen named bottles, covering the food capably even if it rarely lifts the harder plates on its own. It will suit an unfussy hotel diner after an honest, affordable glass or bottle without ceremony more than a wine lover chasing depth or a pour matched to a difficult dish.
