   First time visiting! Recommended by a close friend. The food was absolutely outstanding! We shared the Bruchetta, so full of flavor. Then I had the Pappardelle, and my husband had the Orecchiette. Both dishes were some of the very best pasta I've ever eaten, including my own! We had to order bread just so as not to miss a single bit of the sauces! The owner was warm and cordial and greeted me personally at the table. He is such a professional, authentic man who seemed sincerely interested in my experience. He was busy all evening but made time to stop by every table to speak with his patrons. Bravo! The ambiance was the perfect place for us to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The entire bustaff was extremely pleasant. Unfortunately, our specific waiter seemed distracted or disinterested in our dining expericence. Never told us about the specials, never came back to check on us or our food, and I had to flag him down a couple of times to get his attention to order. To be perfectly honest, the two waterboys gave us much better service. We ordered 2 glasses of wine, an appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 desserts, an espresso, and an aperitif! We certainly were not dining on the cheap! And to top it off, he dropped the check before we even finished our deserts and without inquiring if we needed anything else. It was as if he was rushing us in an attempt to flip the table despite there being several other open tables. We felt bad tipping him accordingly, only 10%, but we observed other staff showing a much higher level of engagement with their tables. I also heard him make several disparaging remarks about a table while he was at the waiters station, and I was in the gentleman's room. I definitely felt like there could have been some implicit bias at play because we were two men, or perhaps he thought we were dressed too casually. Either way, it was a black stain upon what was otherwise an exceptional dining experience! Thank you so much! We will definitely be back, despite it all.

   We generally enjoy dining here. Our server forgot to put our entrees in and by the time she came back to check on us, she informed us the kitchen was closed. We left hungry and disappointed.

   Our waiter was fantastic. Funny and service was prompt. Water glass was refilled numerous times. Owner came out and spoke to us. It was a very nice night.

   I cannot rave more about this place! The vibe, food, service… all exceptional! Having the owner come and greet us at our table is something we don’t experience often and was the cherry on top. We felt valued, and left loving all the food we tried. We especially loved the parmigiana with veal, arinccini, and the braised beef short rib!

   Assaggio is our favorite restaurant in Seattle. We’ve been regulars for years and will continue to be as long as we are in Seattle.

   Our server seemed rushed. He popped over, took our order, and just as quickly as he came he was gone. He brought our food, but by the time a turned to ask for some cracked pepper, he was gone again. We did not see him again until the end of the meal. The food was really good, though.

    The staff was very accommodating for our late arrival due to traffic and limited time to eat because we had theatre tickets. The service was personal but expeditious and the food amazing! Can't wait to go back and have a leisurely meal experience. Thank you.
