Assaggi Description:
The room, above a pub, has an elegant simplicity about it, the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over a leafy Notting Hill residential street. Bare floorboards combine with walls decorated with square canvases of strong colors. The cooking, however, is the main point here and it is first-rate. It all starts, as it should, with seasonal, fresh ingredients. Try favourites like fresh crab with lemon juice and olive oil; and prosciutto thin as lace and unadorned. Pasta is noteworthy, as in butter and sage ravioli. Main dishes like fritto misto and pork fillet with truffle continue to delight. For dessert, the famous, flourless chocolate cake with ice cream, which has become an Assaggi classic, comes highly recommended. The wine list's loyalty is to Italy, with good and unusual effect and you'll find some treasures here. Ask if you don't know your Italian regional wines. Service is charming, yet matter-of-fact.
