   The food was good and had decent cocktails. However the service was terrible. We entered the venue for our booking, and there was very few people in the restaurant, and several staff standing around and talking to each other. We stood there for a couple of minutes whilst staff continued talking to each other, even after they looked at us, ignored us and continued their conversation. A staff member had to come out from the kitchen and prompt them to serve us. Their attention to us through the meal service was inattentive and slow, with one of the young servers giving attitude. Will spend my $500 elsewhere next time. Very disappointing, will not be back

   Was looking forward to trying this restaurant, love my Italian, however experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered 2 glasses of wine, prior to ordering our entree. After several minutes, probably at least 10, we asked to order our entrees. Entree came out, 2 dishes, separately. After the first we asked about our drinks, which they clearly had forgotten, as they pour the wine at your table. The mussel entree came with the bread sitting in the sauce, so half the bread was soggy and unappetising. One mussel was off, putrid in smell, that my husband had to spit it out. Reported to the waiter and were offered a free dessert. Mains weren’t any better. Squid ink seafood pasta sauce was almost identical to the sauce the mussels were in, dish was not enjoyable. Cannelloni was edible, however lacked full flavour and was similar to eating a microwaved dish. Free dessert was calzones and I didn’t enjoy them. Overall staff were inattentive, however nice when they were serving and the food completely underwhelming leaving my husband ill for the night. We will not be back and caution anyone thinking about visiting.

   This was our 3 visit to Sasso. On our previous 2 experiences I would give this restaurant 5 stars…service and food. But on this 3rd visit it was very disappointing. The waitress left us longer than expected to take our food order (I think we had almost finished our first drink) our empty beer bottles were left on the table until we mentioned for them to be removed. Our Burrata came without bread or biscuits, when I asked a waiter walking past for some bread to go with it, he could not speak English! I understand I’m in an Italian restaurant, but still!? The main meals were good, but not as ‘wow’ as our previous experience. The waitress who initially looked after us seemed to have disappeared (even though I could see she was still there) we were lucky to get another waiter towards the end of the evening who saved the day. He was delightful. Bringing our twins who turned 20 that day a complementary tiramisu with a candle for their birthday. Overall an average visit to Sasso, and I unfortunately won’t be rushing back.

   The food and service is exemplary. And the variety is beyond expectation. We haven’t been so delighted with a restaurant in a long time. It’s probably not for a cosy romantic dinner but perfect for every other occasion. This is now my go-to place!

   Lovely food, staff were only to happy to help with any request and they organised without prompting a birthday celebration which really made my wife's night.

    Despite having booked a table, we had a 15min wait. After ordering drinks, my husband’s drink arrived in 5 mins while I had to wait 15mins. Same with desserts, after ordering there was a 15min wait. This was disappointing.

    Dear Ruby, Thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us and are sorry to hear your evening did not live up to your expectations. Unfortunately, some times bookings run slightly over time, and while we do our best to ensure the table is ready, sometimes there are slight delays. A 15-minute wait for drinks and desserts is quite typical, as we prepare everything to order to ensure the highest quality. We're sorry to hear you were not made aware of any slight delays, and will ensure this is communicated clearly going forward. We would love to hear more about your experience and how we can continue to improve, please feel free to reach out at bookings@sassoitaliano.co m.au. Thank you kindly, Team Sasso
