The Scene
Dark wood, dim lights and Renaissance-style art provide a nearly church-like feel that shifts into party mode as soon as the chef and owner, Mauro Golmarvi, stops by to shake your hand. Booths are the way to go for privacy, as larger tables raise the noise level in a jovial way. Servers are just edgy enough to be fun and offer wise suggestions to those who ask.
The Food
While sweet, meaty prawns with creamy lemon sauce are warming without being too filling, the real treats are yet to come. Veal parmigiana is tender, plush and fragrant with herbs and cheese, while the classic bolognese sauce offers sweet sausage and a touch of cream. End the meal with thick tiramisu, perfectly balanced with a subtle combination of flavors--it's the only house-made dessert; the rest are imported from Italy.

Unreal how this place stays in business. The food is nothing to rave about, and it is truly unprofessional and down right rude how the owner operates his restaurant - sad actually.

Truly amazing how someone can BS and truly convince people that he is Italian... Mauro (which is not his real name ask him what his true name is? and where he was born and raised? He has even picked a city in Italy where he says he is from....... jUST LISTTEN TO HIS ACCENT AND YOU KNOW that he is an IRANIAN wanting to be ITALIAN.

Assaggio Ristorante was so kind to donate to our community auction at Harborview. They donated 4 dinner certificates and 4 autographed cook books. This donation helped us raise money which will be used to help meet the personal needs of ICU family members. Thank you Assaggio Ristorante! We adore you!
