AssaggioAwesomeTook my husband for his birthday. His favorite dish is Veal Parm
They made it just we used to get in NY. No fancy way with a new spin on it ,
Just a true traditional Italian meal. And being Italian born in raised in NY this is the
best compliment to a restaurant.
Sometimes keeping tradition is the best thing!
And the owner walks around greeting everyone making sure your happy and enjoying the food !
Just like a true Italian. They're happy when you love their food !

I was just in Italy in September and I felt Assaggio could hold a candle to the authentic cuisine served to us in Tuscany.

Our server was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. He must have overheard me and one of my tablemates say let's split the gnocci and lamb shank. We each were served separate dishes for each item already divided up in the kitchen. I personally have never experienced that kind of service before without having to ask. The food as always was stupendous. I still can't believe how ample the portions were for the lamb shank. Go! Get! Enjoy!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and wine list.Great food and wine list.

Delicious food and good portion sizes. Owner engaged, friendly and welcoming.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Seattle ExperienceThe main courses were exceptional. Our party had a chicken special, the lamb shank, salmon, and beef. The appetizers were OK but we were trying something new so probably not to our taste. The service was unparalled. We were greeted and seated right away even though we were 30 minutes early. The waiter was very knowledgable and friendly. The food was served hot and in very short order. The owner came by the table several times and chatted and made us feel welcome. A bonus was there was parking right next door ($6.00 for the evening). Definately on our list to revisit this gem.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding1st time to visit. Outstanding on all features. Special touch with owner greeting all tables. Looking forward to visiting again.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were visiting Seattle overWe were visiting Seattle over the weekend and were staying next door at Hotel Andra. We have stayed at Hotel Andra on several occasions but have never been to Assiaggo. Well, we will definitely be back. The place has a great energy and the staff are all very friendly. The food was excellent. We wanted to try something close to the hotel. Next time we would travel a lot farther to go to this restaurant.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic food and serviceThis is our first time in Seattle so we relied on reviews from OpenTable to decide where to eat our first night in town.
Assaggio lived up to its reputation. We had excellent service, the food was delicious and came quickly, the host recommended a local Washington state wine, and our experience was fantastic. We are definitely coming back.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding, Have been thereOutstanding, Have been there several times and everytime I leave I can't wait to go back.

Started w/carpaccio & grilled portobellos. Both were excellent. Then shared the gnocchi in brown butter. A dream, absolutely fantastic. For mains we had the lamb shank & pork chop. Both were really great, cooked perfectly, tender, and sauces that were amazing. For dessert, we shut it down with the tiramisu. One of the better ones around. I first ate at Assaggio in 2009 and forgot just how good it is. I won't wait so long to go back.2/8/2013 12:00:00 AMAuthentic ItalianIn a city that lacks decent authentic Italian food, assiago, if one of the few that does it well.
