All the food was excellent. Paulo was very attentive and knowledgeable. He made us feel welcome and special. I can't wait to eat here again. We had the zucchini flowers - not greasy and wonderfully warm and comforting packed with oozy filling. The gnocci was soft and melted in your mouth. Carbonara was divine. The special salad was light and well balanced. I can't wait to go back.

My family and I loved Assaggio for our Christmas dinner this year. The space was intimate and warm, the food was fantastic, and Juan and Paolo were absolutely exceptional! We can't wait to go back.

Excellent Italian restaurant in the heart of the North End. They have tables on the main floor and upstairs (which seems to be a little cooler).
Started with the zucchini flower with ricotta cheese as an appetizer.
Then had the tuna and the chicken Parmesan. Both were excellent. You really need to try their pasta which was why I had the parm.
They have a large selection of Italian wines.
A very worthwhile restaurant.
