We stopped in for a few drinks and were drawn to the small plates concept—and we’re so glad we gave it a try. The place turned out to be fantastic, with a great atmosphere and excellent service. Sam, who served us, was especially friendly and welcoming. The drinks were outstanding too—a big shoutout to the bartender, Harshita, for doing an amazing job. We’ll definitely be coming back, and we highly recommend this spot to everyone. The outdoor seating is especially lovely when the sun is out!

Stumbled upon this gem a few months ago. I’m not a big eater so the concept of small plates really got my attention. A single Pizza or a delicious pasta dish and I’m set for a busy afternoon. Delicious, cheap dishes and if you’re craving more, you’ll still average around 20 person. Amazing service, tasty cocktails. Highly recommended

Assaggini is the best hidden gem. We stumbled in after a long day of traveling the Scottish Highlands and LochNess. It’s a great vibe, amazing smaller tapa sized dishes and the cutest drinks.

I visited Assaggini and tried the pasta — it was absolutely delightful . The portion was generous, the pasta cooked perfectly al dente , and the sauce was rich, creamy, with a strong cheesy flavor and just the right amount of seasoning. There were juicy pieces of sausage inside that added a deep, savory touch . It’s a simple dish, but made with real care . The atmosphere was cozy, and everything was neatly and stylishly presented . I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes!

Had a wonderful experience at this Italian cafe! The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. Definitely coming back again!

I came for my birthday and it was amazing! Our waitress was so sweet and friendly! Food was absolutely delicious! Already recommended it to a friend who’s booked in for Friday! Will 1000% be coming back!

A friend and I visited here on a monday night (around 6ish) and I HIGHLY recommend going here. It was reasonably priced, amazing service and food quality, as well as a really nice vibe of restaurant. The two of us ordered 2 pasta dishes each, a pizza to share, and the ‘cheesecake of the day’ afterwards. I would recommend the black truffle pasta, or the prawn pasta - and definitely get a dessert! It was around 50 altogether as we got their 2 dishes for 13.13 deal, so was 25 each - which was very reasonable considering how delicious it all was! Our server (we didn’t catch his name!) was very friendly and made us feel very welcome and we felt like well-treated, valued customers for our whole experience. He definitely improved our experience even more! Please go to this restaurant as it might’ve been the best italian food i’ve ever had! The portions are well-sized and the menu is correct - i would also recommend 2 per person. Thanks for such an amazing night - we will definitely be back soon!

Popped in with a friend one day on the passing for some lunch just to try something was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable the visit, food and the establishment was. Considering I visit many eateries and some are very inconsistent at times this actually exceeded my Lunch expectations. Many thanks to the establishment for giving out a joyful experience.
