Very efficient, helpful and friendly staff, Italian cuisine has not lost its identity, which is the most important thing. I recommend the pasta with clams, truly exquisite, and the potato gnocchi, superb.

This was our third visit to Sasso & thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Was quite busy for a Monday night but we were served in a timely manner & nothing was too much trouble. We have the Arancini balls - lovely & CRISP!! Followed by Rigatoni Amatriciana & Spaghetti Allo Scoglio followed by Tiramisu to share. Wines also lovely. We went for the Italian prossecco followed by a lovely Chianti. Will be back 🫶

The service is 10/10 - absolutely outstanding. The staff were very attentive. We ordered the negroni and a mocktail nogroni - both were fantastic. The handcut ice was a nice touch. It's a lovely cozy trattoria - great location and great staff. The food was a letdown. For starters we ordered calamari, which was nothing special. It wasn't bad, there was just too much batter. It felt like eating fast-food rather than something restaurant quality. For the main we ordered a pizza. It had a soggy centre. It was tasty, but you couldn't hold a slice because it was soupy in the middle. The dessert was the house tiramisu. It was good size serving. Elegantly cut. Looked fantastic. The chocolate used was superb. It was very light and fluffy, that it seemed like whipped air rather than mascarpone. Overall - it's a lovely place. The food could be improved.
Sasso ItalianoResponded on February 12, 2025
Dear Yvette, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear the Calamari and Pizza you received were below our usual standard. We appreciate your feedback, and our Head Chef has addressed this with his team to ensure correct procedures are being upheld. You should have been offered a replacement dish or a discount on your bill and we apologise for the oversite. We would love to hear more about your experience, and how we can continue to improve. Kindly contact us via the email listed below. We look forward to hearing from you, and hope to make amends. Thank you kindly, Team Sasso

Outstanding! The food was next level, beautifully presented and tasted amazing! Service was fabulous, with staff happy, friendly and very helpful. As a Negroni over I was astounded by the negroni drinks menu, so much fun to try something new. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and we will certainly be back again.
