Restaurant time: Assaggi

It’s always so difficult picking restaurants these days, either because you always go to the same ones, or you don’t know of any others around that are awesome so you land up going to the same ones. So I have decided that every time I go to a restaurant I’m going to rate the place and the food and then hopefully help some of you out of the pickle that I often myself in – where shall we go out for breakfast/lunch/dinner? If you have any places you would like to suggest, we would all appreciate it.

I’m going to start with Assaggi, which is a sweet little Italian restaurant located in the Post Office Centre on Rudd Road, opposite The Thrupps centre. Their pastas all sounded so delicious, but I was super boring at went for spaghetti bolognaise, wish I had been a bit more adventurous and headed for the asparagus lasagna (next time), but I had my boring pants on and just wanted something that I trusted, it was nice, not the best I have ever had, but it was good. The panna cotta I had for dessert on the other had was so flipping amazing, if I could of strapped a bucket of it to the front of my face, I would of!

It’s quite a pricey restaurant, but the food is good and authentically Italian, so try it out if you are in the area and trust me when I say, order the panna cotta and do not make the same mistake as I did and agree to share it. Sharing is bad and stupid!
