Best Authentic Restaurants in Smithfield

When contemplating a restaurant for my birthday, Assados was my first choice. Boy, was I not disappointed! The food was exceptional, the waitress (Elizabeth) very accommodating for changes in the menu, and the ambience very friendly for a sweet get together with close friends. The fireplace was warm and inviting as well. Clearly the owners take pride in their restaurant and staff. It’s a gem!

We have been here several times and have always had a great experience. Reservations are a must on weekends. The bar is always crowded and energetic. Menu is big . Portions are fairly large and if you are a moderate eater you will have take homes for sure. Food is exceptional and varies from traditional Italian based menu? They always have specials . Our group of 4 had a hard time deciding because there were so many great menu options. Appetizers, bread, main course, and desserts were very good. This is a must try restaurant but because it tends to be crowded on Weekends be prepared for a busy and a little noisy atmosphere. The staff is very personable and attentive.

What a great find! Great menu, great staff, great prices. We will be back

We had a lovely evening. The service was top notch. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about both the food and wine. The other service staff was friendly, polite, and attentive. It was a great experience.

Always a wonderful evening. Cheryl took very good care of us keeping the food and drinks flowing at a perfect pace. Started with bread and the spicy margarita then moved on to a well curated wine selection. We had very fresh shrimp cocktail, a flavorful perfectly dressed arugula and beet salad, a steak, and a pasta. Everything was hot and well prepared. The room was lively and full. A very lovely date night with my Valentine.
