The steak is very tender and delicious cooked just as I asked. Price is a bit much but the quality is good. The octopus is good the drinks are a bit on the week side. Overall good quality and value

Another one of DePasquale Venture’s restaurant with great food. At Assagio, seafood dishes were undeniable stars of the menu. The Lobster Fra Diavolo offered an incredibly rich and flavorful experience. Whole Maine lobster melded harmoniously with garlic and Colino tomatoes, creating a dish that's both robust and refined. Meanwhile, the Vongole pasta was nothing short of a marvel. The pasta seemed to absorb the clam’s very essence, making each bite burst with their rich flavors. Not to be outshone, the Truffle Crusted Tuna came seared to perfection. The crust imparted a truffle aroma that subtly elevated the dish, making it more than just another seafood entrée. The Veal Chop, although not as memorable as the seafood, was still worth a mention. Stuffed with Parma prosciutto and Italian fontina, the dish started promisingly with its tender, flavorful first bites. However, as I delved deeper toward the stuffing, the meat became a bit denser and drier than I would’ve hoped. If you're planning a visit to Assagio, I'd highly recommend zoning in on their seafood pasta dishes. Despite a minor misstep with the veal, the overall experience here was exceptional.

In A Nutshell: -Assaggio is a very good Italian restaurant located in the North End of Boston. -Here you'll find comfort food that is particularly from Positano, Italy. -The location is very small & intimate, which makes it a nice place to take a date. -The service is phenomenal along w/ the delicious food & wine. Overall, this is a great Italian restaurant located in an abundance of them in the area.

This restaurant really disappointed me. To start, we waited for 20 minutes after our reservation time for our table to be ready. Our table in the basement was not clean and had dirty plates set on it. The atmosphere was shockingly horrible, it felt like we were in an unfinished basement and wouldn't be surprised if the space didn't meet code. Our waitress asked us what we wanted to order immediately as we sat at our table, we hadn't even glanced at the menu yet, and was nowhere to be found after our order was placed. Staff was jumping down the staircase and it all just felt so juvenile and not like the nice restaurant they advertised. Considering this restaurant is owned by a restaurant conglomerate, there is no excuse for service that bad and food that mediocre. I cannot recommend this restaurant less, you can easily do better probably anywhere else in the North End.

Hidden gem off the busy streets of the North End. Ended up here after most of the places on Hanover had nothing available for a large party. Just happened to walk by and now this may be our new favorite Italian stop. The menu has something for everyone, the restaurant is beautiful and the appetizers are amazing and great for sharing. You have to try the fried Zucchini flowers with ricotta.

We went to celebrate our 8th Anniversary, From the host to the waitress everyone was very pleasant, the food was amazing from eggplant appetizer, gnocchi pasta and stuffed veal chops is a must try. Food was mouth watering, highly recommend this place we were seated on the main floor which was cozy, they have a lounge upstairs which we went and checked out later it was nice and the ambience and the music was good too, we will check that next time. They gave us complementary lemonchello shots that was also good!

First time visit for a fairly large group celebrating birthdays. Service was excellent, appetizers, meals, and desserts were amazing. Definitely would like to make a return visit.

We needed to find a restaurant in the north end and came across this gem after finding all others were booked. The lasagna was soft and tender, the carbonara was delicate and delicious with its home made pasta. We were thrilled to have had a great dinner. Only comment to the business is the couches in the dining room make for an odd experience.

This was a lovely, authentic Italian style. Dining experience in Boston's North end with incredible service. Tasty and delightfully strong drinks and enough food. To fill your belly with some to take on period a wonderful place for a fancy day for that special lady in your life. Or fellas.

My wife and I attended a milestone birthday party held on the second floor. Service was pleasant, but seemed a bit overwhelmed by the party of 20. I ordered gnocchi and my wife ordered eggplant parmigiana. Both dishes were well executed. It was loud in the dining area making conversation sometimes difficult when competing with background music and a Bruins game up on the TV's.

We came here after dinner in the North End to try their Espresso Martini, as we heard they had some of the best in Boston and we were not disappointed! The chocolate powder around the inside of the rim was unique but so delicious and the martini itself was very smooth and rich. The upstairs bar area was very chic and intimate and had a fantastic vibe - would definitely come back again!

We had such a great time at Assaggio ! The food was outstanding, the service was very friendly and everything came out quickly. We highly recommend you eat here when you’re visiting Boston. Nicole is by far the best bartender we have ever had. We hope you are lucky enough to have her!

Salmone arrosto Eggplant parmigiana Bread setup! Food was mouth watering, highly recommend this place we were seated on the main floor which was cozy, Italian food at its finest, better than the rest!! Great service as well!!

Came in to try during Dine out Boston. I frequent the north end and actually really enjoy some of DePasquale’s other “ventures”. This was not one of them. Upon coming in the hostess saw us, I said hello and she walked away. When she returned she waited another few minutes before greeting us. Not a welcoming environment which for me, as a person of color, is a big deal. Could have just said “I’ll be with you in a moment” We were seated with menus which was great because our serving didn’t get to us for about ten minutes, but they did get us water sooner than that. When we arrived the restaurant was busy but not overwhelming. Within 20 minutes of being there two or three tables emptied. Waiter was a bit aloof. My husband wanted to try a wine so the waiter left, came back about 20 minutes later and asked if we wanted to order drinks. Rather than bring it up, we ordered a bottle we knew we liked. Put in our orders, fine. Our appetizers came out, we finish them, and still are waiting for our wine. Granted I’m not really sure it’s our waiters fault they usually have the sommelier grab it, but it was a weekday so who knows if they were there. Waiter comes back, says they dont have the bottle, we ask for a recommendation and they bring it just in time for our main course. Good rec I will say, I posted it here. To be honest, dine out Boston is supposed to be an opportunity for restaurants to showcase their menu and cuisine and for people to come in and try new places. The app and entrees were okay. Nothing special. If you want top tier Italian in the north end try Mamma Maria, Arya, or DePasquale’s other restaurants like a Bricco and Trattoria il Pannino etc. The desserts however were really good. The Earl Grey Panama Cotta was delicious. We were fighting over the last bite. Ended with an espresso martini (obvi) but theirs was not the best as there was too much powder on top and it was much creamier than a normal espresso martini . Couldn’t even taste coffee. Save your money, and walk literally across the street to Ciao Roma for one, trust me. Underwhelming, but honestly glad I tried it.

The food was great! Highly recommend the eggplant appetizer. The pear martini is amazing. The bartender on Saturday nights is super personable. Great date night !

The food was delicious. Our waiter Sam was very helpful and friendly. The ricotta was amazing. Definitely spendy.

Food was fantastic! I would recommend the following: the fresh ricotta, eggplant parmigiana and the caprese to start. It was all very fresh and tasty. For my main dish I got the amtraciana which was phenomenal! One of the best pasta dishes I’ve had. Definitely recommend coming. Service was great too

wow! The food was incredible! I myself had the ravioli which was so saucy and smooth it would slide off the plate if I wasn’t careful! All of my party’s dishes were just as delicious and well presented! The atmosphere is lively and the place is bouncing! On the pricier side, but my parents paid! Lol!

Nice atmosphere, however I should have noticed the signs...nobody there. Ordered Positano (spaghetti with clams) and it clams and it came almost 30 minutes later. Good flavor but the smallest clams I've ever seen and sand throughout the whole dish. Also ask for red pepper flakes and they never came. Disappointed.

Let me just say last nights dinner was the best night out me and my friends have ever had. All the servers and bartenders were such a good time and made our night so much fun. At the end of the night when we lost our keys everyone was very helpful and made our night fun even while we were trying to find a way to get home. Bon, Gonzalo, Oscar, and Kev made our night a million times more fun and they all deserve a big raise!!!! Overall this restaurant is so fun and the drinks and food were amazing as well!

The food was fabulous and a wonderful splurge! Best/freshest Caesar salad ever. We'd never eaten there before, but we'll be back the next time we're in Boston. I was a little surprised that all the waiters wore their masks under their nose.

Attended a work private dining event. Was very good. My only disappointment was they didn't have iced tea that night and it was very warm out!

The waitresses and waiters are awesome are really good food atmosphere is nice definitely a place to recommend definitely we'll go over and over again

My daughter and I went to see a Comedy Show here on Wednesday night. We sat at the Bar, we got a Shrimp Cocktail which was AMAZING & I had my first Espresso Martini(3 to be exact) they were delicious. It's up on the 2nd floor, beautiful decor! Great atmosphere!

Very good authentic Italian food, not greasy, pasta 100% Al dente. Highly recommended!

Horrible since bought out by corporate owners. It used to be 5 star, but now one star. Food was very salty, not fresh tasting. There were off flavors in everything. Bread was cold, bad pesto, no garlic oil. Marinara sauce tasted artificial. Never going back to Now corporate owned like McDonald's. Never going back!

It's a nice restaurant, good environment and service. Food has good presentation, loved the taste the first time I went there, but it wasn't as good the 2nd time, still tasty though. The price is quite high.

Excellent food and service just off the busy main street. Joshua was our server and was excellent! Highly recommended!
