"When a place is this small and this expensive and yet it's this popular - you know there has to be a good reason. What seems on first appearances to be a pleasant but ordinary dining room above a pub gradually becomes a temple to brilliant Italian cooking by the end of your meal. This no nonsense approach to decor provides the first clue as to Assaggi's charm and it's an approach that is reflected in the menu. Fancy names are out and the finest quality ingredients are in. The Assaggi pasta loaf comes highly recommended, but all the dishes are divine, and are worth spending some time (and money) over. So it's no surprise then that Assaggi won the Oscar of the gastronomic world when it claimed the title of 'Italian Restaurant of the Year' in the Moet & Chandon London Restaurant awards."
