Assaggio's Italian Restaurant

Talk about above and beyond! We love the meatballs here and ordered some meatballs for our dogs’ birthday and the staff came through! We can’t thank them enough for making her feel so special!!! The meatballs did not last long

Assaggio's Italian Restaurant is located in Northwest Raleigh. The parking lot didn't have many parking spaces. It does appear to have a lot of take-out orders, so the available spots may open up often. We were a group of 8, but we were seated very tightly, so there wasn't enough room to be comfortable. After drink orders were taken, garlic knots were brought out. But we didn't have bread plates. I'm not sure whether they forgot or should have been at the table already. I ordered the shrimp scampi. The six little shrimp were cooked well, but I did not find the pasta very flavorful. It needed some garlic and spices. I ordered this dish at many restaurants, and this just did not compare in quality. The prices are higher than those of other Italian restaurants, too. The waiter seemed good

The service was great, and the atmosphere was really nice. While the food didn’t quite suit my palate, I did enjoy the appetizers. I wasn’t a fan of the entrées, but overall, it was still a pleasant experience

My boyfriend and I order from here at least once every two weeks. The last three times, there has been quality issues with our order. After getting served this sloppy mess pictured below, we can no longer support this business. I tried to push through and eat a slice but when I picked it up, all the toppings slid off the pizza. $30 and they gave us pizza soup. My boyfriend showed them it before he left the store and the person at the front said it was fine. We called and asked for a refund from the manager since it’s not edible.

Their pastas are so good! We got the gnocchi and the assaggios and both were delicious. They were a bit on the pricy side but each entree came with bread and a side salad. The portions were also very generous. We will be back!
