Assaggio Description:
Chef-owner Mauro Golmarvi's charming restaurant offers a casual yet romantic oasis in the heart of downtown Seattle. A pleasant alternative from the surrounding contemporary eateries, Assaggio offers classic Italian fare served in a gracious setting. Tables are set with fresh flowers and crisp linen, while kitschy re-creations of murals by Michelangelo and Fra Lippo Lippi create a casual mood. Start with a light and lively insalata di Francesca with apples, pears, Gorgonzola, and honeyed pistachios assembled over greens in a balsamic vinaigrette. Meat lovers will be smitten by tender osso buco in a red wine demi-glace enriched with tomato. Another favorite is the ravioli with roasted chicken, mushrooms and walnuts in a Marsala cream sauce, or try the cappelletti with prawns and eggplant in a savory tomato sauce. There's a small but thoughtful selection of Italian wines to accompany your choices.
