I think the signage for the restaurant could be better especially since it's hidden in the back behind the blu cafe which is also a great place for a quick snack but it is separate from the restaurant.

I was really disappointed with the tuna poke. Fresh tuna should be the star of the dish, but…read moreinstead it was overwhelmed with oil and excessive spice. I've had tuna poke many times before, and I've never experienced it prepared this way. The heavy seasoning completely masked the natural flavor and freshness of what could have been excellent tuna. Unfortunately, the dish was not only unbalanced but also left me dealing with severe heartburn the next morning. It felt like the chef focused more on overpowering flavors than on respecting the quality of the fish itself. Good tuna doesn't need to be drowned in oil and heat -- simplicity would have made this dish far more enjoyable. I hope upper management actually pays attention to reviews from customers who are genuinely dining here and experiencing the food firsthand. Constructive feedback matters, and management should seriously evaluate whether the kitchen is maintaining the standards customers expect. A chef should know when to enhance ingredients and when to let quality speak for itself. This dish missed the mark entirely.

This does not represent upscale or fine dining. This set the tone that they don't care about the details or the diner's experience. We ordered drinks and bread was brought to the table. I had an espresso martini and my date had the second ave sour. I did not like the martini and his drink was just ok. We would not order again. The bread was stale as if it had been sitting all day. I ordered the salmon which came with an artichoke risotto. It was delicious and the salmon was cooked perfectly. My date did not have the same luck initially. He ordered his steak medium and it came out well done and dry. They did take it back and on the third try got it to his preferred temperature. We finally had dessert zeppole (donuts) and four layer chocolate cake. Again disappointed. The zeppole was bland and could have cooked for an extra minute or so, and the chocolate cake was extremely dry. Also did not receive the cherry compote that was supposed to accompany the cake. When the check came, for whatever reason, they charged for 2 steaks, then removed the additional steak. Im not sure if they initially charged for sending the steak back or if that was an error. Overall, not a great experience and will not return. Gave it 2 stars because the ambiance and location was nice, the waitress was friendly, I enjoyed the salmon and they were accommodating to make sure the steak temperature was correct. I hope they get better by paying attention to detail, making sure they improve the customer experience, and putting out better quality drinks and food.

If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience in the North End without the tourist-trap…read morefeel, Assaggio is the spot. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and smelled absolutely incredible. The Food We started with some wine and dove straight into the mains. The Carbonara was rich, creamy, and executed perfectly, exactly how you'd hope for in Boston's Italian district. We also ordered the Lasagna, which was a massive portion of pure comfort. You can tell the pasta is fresh and the sauce has been simmering for hours. The Service What really took our night from great to unforgettable was our waitress, Alina. She truly went above and beyond for us. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and had such a bright energy that made us feel like regulars. It's rare to find service this genuine and seamless! Pro Tip: Definitely make a reservation if you're heading there on a weekend, as it fills up fast! Bottom Line: Amazing food, cozy vibes, and world-class service. We will definitely be back and asking for Alina's section!

I'm not saying I'm a Pasta Carbonara connoisseur... but I've eaten enough Carbonara to know when…read moreI've been personally offended by one. Sadly, the Carbonara at Assaggio was, without question, the worst I've ever had. The sauce tasted like it came straight from the "Just Add Water" collection, the pancetta seemed to have skipped the whole "meeting the frying pan" step, and the seasoning apparently called in sick that day. It also took about an hour for a few simple pasta dishes to arrive, which gave us plenty of time to lower our expectations. The portions were surprisingly small--perhaps to match the amount of seasoning. As for the service... let's just say the automatic 20% gratuity felt less like a convenience and more like a witness protection program for the waitstaff. Overall, if you're looking for authentic Carbonara, keep looking. If you're looking for a memorable experience, congratulations--you've found one.

We arrived for a late dinner after our harbor cruise, and at no point did I feel rushed or overlooked. Even though the kitchen closed during our meal, they gave us plenty of time with last call, which I really appreciated. The live music paired with the waterfront view created such a beautiful atmosphere. I absolutely loved that for us! The crab cakes were fresh, and the shrimp cocktail was just as good. My husband also really enjoyed the bread service, although we forgot to snap a picture before it disappeared. Overall, it's worth paying for parking just to enjoy the ambiance alone. The food was good, and I'm looking forward to going back so I can experience a full meal next time.

We visited this restaurant on a Friday evening before a Red Sox game. It was an interesting mix of…read morediners some of whom were dressed casually as would be appropriate for this semi formal atmosphere and some (a lot actually) in Red Sox apparel. That said the child's salmon and fries ($18) provided a decent size filet and an abundance of fries. Our granddaughter gave it high marks. Other dishes at our table included a beet and burrata salad which was a little undersized but good and a burger which looked plenty large enough and was also reported to be good. The only disappointment was my entree which was the special of the night billed as Cacio e pepe with house made pasta. The pasta was good, but was not spaghetti or tonnarelli. It was a short ruffled pasta that resembled very small lasagna sheets. Overall the Cacio e Pepe was as far from a Cacio e Pepe as I have seen and was basically a bowl of buttered noodles with some pepper flakes sprinkled about. If they had advertised it as a buttered pasta I would say this was great but they called it a Cacio e Pepe and I couldn't find the cheese anywhere. Service was pretty fast and pleasant.
