“ Delicious! The octopus and tiramisu were especially noteworthy but absolutely everything we ordered was great. ”

“ I came here during my stay in Boston and did a good amount of research to pick a special Italian restaurant in the north end - and Assagio did not disappoint. This was the best lasagna I've ever had. For an appetizer we had the meatballs which were good as well! The ambience is beautifully done and the staff were great. This will be a go to spot for me every time I am in Boston moving forward. ”

“ Had a really good meal with several friends last Saturday night at Assaggio in the North End. Sat on second floor in bar area. Loved the ambiance. Service was great and the food was amazing. I went with the chicken parm and it was delicious. The6 did Veal Chop parm for my friend which was amazing. ”

“ Service was fantastic, prices were reasonable (relatively speaking), and the food was excellent. I came here while traveling for work and will absolutely make it a point to eat here the next time I'm in town. ”

“ We went here as a group and the food was delicious. I like that the calamari has fried onion and shrimp included. The short ribs were delicious. The meatballs were good. I enjoyed the wine. ”

“ Trendy with upbeat music -- three floors! Last night was one of the busiest nights that I've ever happened across in the North End! My dad and I wandered around -- we hadn't planned to be there and quickly realized that we were going to have trouble getting a table for two at 7:15pm on a Saturday night! We stopped by 4 locations before finding Assaggio. You didn't have any tables open at the time but you sat us at a couch table setup where we ordered appetizers and I ordered my first Aperol Spritz! Shortly thereafter, we were moved to a high top (as promised)! I used to work in the restaurant business and I truly didn't expect that we would be moved to a better table... I expected to be forgotten about! The eggplant parm appetizer was to-die-for. It simply fell apart (in a good way) and could be easily cut with a fork. We then moved on to our main course. I got the gnocchi and my dad elected to go with the broccoli rabe pasta dish. I tasted his and the complexity of the flavor mingled with the sauce, made me wish that I had a bottomless stomach and that we ordered 10 more dinners. I will absolutely absolutely come back! Note that this restauranteur owns many locations around the North End and they are opening a new location on Hanover street! We look forward to dining with you again!!! ”

“ So delicious! I was impressed! Wanted to find a great Italian place in little Italy and we did. The only negative was the air conditioner broke in one of the rooms so it was super hot but it wasn't their fault. It was still worth it and an amazing. We started with the assaggio salad which was the perfect small starter salad. My mom and I split 2 meals. The first was a spaghetti and meatballs. The pasta the meatballs and sauce were all great. The next was chicken parm. It was cooked perfect and tasted great. We didn't have dessert but that would prob be good too. Would love to return next time I'm in Boston ”

“ One of my favorites in the north end. It's tucked away off Hanover which I like. It is a very intimate ambience, but the top floor is more of an upscale lounge area that I like to do dinner with friends. Food: For apps my top two are the octopus and carpaccio. Octopus is done phenomenally, not chewy or tough. Beef carpaccio is very flavorful. For meals I love chicken parm, the cutlet is done perfect, thin and crispy. The "pompei" is my favorite pasta dish on the menu, but gone here many times I have never once had a bad dish. Drinks: lemon drop martini here are amazing. If you enjoy espresso martinis, I also highly suggest to try one. The service here is always 10/10 with the staff being very welcoming and accommodating. ”

“ One of the better places in the North End. Right off Hanover Street. Drinks: the espresso martini is a must. We also enjoy their old fashioned's and other mix drinks. Food: For appetizers we usually always get the charcuterie board. Well plated meats and cheeses. The meatballs are another fantastic appetizer. For entrees, the mamas lasagna is excellent. We also always enjoy the chicken parmesan. One of our family members constantly gets the lobster fra diavo, and said it's one of the best entrees that he's ever had. Service is usually always excellent. Although, I will say, I've notice a slight down tick lately. I hope they turn that around. We have been coming here monthly, for quite some time. The ambiance is great. There are multiple floors, all with intimate seating and low lighting. There are bars on every level, with plenty of seating. I would recommend this place 10/10. ”

“ Took advantage of restaurant week in the north end and decided to try Assaggio. A beautiful place with three floors and an open kitchen. We were greeted right away and had a great window seat. They had a large drink menu offered some very fine and expensive wines. Our dinner started with calamari and an octopus appetizer. The calamari was plentiful with onion rings and a mixture of fried seafood. My octopus was a beautiful plate with perfectly cooked octopus. Main dinner was their mama's lasagna and Zappa di pesce. The pasta was delicious and obviously made in house. For dessert we had the chocolate soufflé and the vanilla bean panna cotta. Wow! I am not sure which was more pleasing ”
