    This was our third visit to Sasso & thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Was quite busy for a Monday night but we were served in a timely manner & nothing was too much trouble. We have the Arancini balls - lovely & CRISP!! Followed by Rigatoni Amatriciana & Spaghetti Allo Scoglio followed by Tiramisu to share. Wines also lovely. We went for the Italian prossecco followed by a lovely Chianti. Will be back 🫶

    We were so thankful to our waiter who gave us direction on what to order food wise. I love gin, so the drink menu was extensive. Wish I had more time to try more. Thank you to our lovely waiter that took our country kind and help us through. Definitely recommend and would love to come back for a ladies day.
