Pleasant interior. Super friendly and attentive staff. Excellent menu selections. The food was prepared fast and hot. We both got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. The chicken was a tad over cooked. The Alfredo sauce was light a tasted great. The garlic bread appetizer was underwhelming. It was on thin dry bread with little garlic taste. Overall though it was tasty food with excellent wait staff.

We enjoyed dining here for many years, but in the last couple years, we thought the food had gotten too heavy and greasy from broken butter and olive oil so stopped going. A few days ago we saw a posting on nextdoor that they were offering an early bird special from 4:30-6pm on several dishes at an awesome price and that lunch service was also being added starting Oct 11. We thought the early bird special would be a great way to check up on the current experience. We're so glad we did! Our hostess/server Amy was charming - so friendly and helpful - and we smiled at our first bite. We view this as a neighborhood restaurant for when we don't want to cook or when we get together casually with friends, so the special menu is an encouraging touch. The regular menu has the same great, extensive offering as of old, but the new pricing may shock you.

Meh. Not worth the trip or effort. My puttanesca pasta was basically marinara. My kids liked the rolls, but that was it. Maybe we hit it on an off night.

To start with, the bread was definitely not Italian. Not crusty and no substance in the bread. Being a chain restaurant, what do you expect. Ordered the surf and turf. If you do, get the turf plain. They smother a perfect steak with horrible mushroom and onion topping. The surf is only 3 pieces of shrimp and the pasta was dry. Also, the parmesan cheese was not fresh. Tho the atmosphere and service were impeccable. Assagio means taste. And there was no taste.

Loved the experience. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, helped us decide on our meal, and gave us plenty of time to decide. Service was wonderful. The Shrimp scampi with Alfredo sauce was delicious. I would definitely come here again.
