We just returned from a great trip to Scottsdale. The dining in Scottsdale is wonderful but by far the best experience we had was at Sassi. We loved the food, atmosphere and service so much we dined there twice in one week! On our first evening there, Brittany, a lovely Manager at Sassi , suggested we return earlier one night... more

I live in Italy 6 months a year so I'm always searching for real Italian cuisine. Oh, how wide this restaurant missed the mark! The pasta was so creamy, goopy and over cooked. There was absolutely no sense of subtlety or delicacy that is the hallmark of good Italian food. The waiters were nice but they are, like the chef,... more

Had a lovely romantic dinner on the patio next to a gas fire-pit. Food was wonderful and so was the wine. Started with a plate of olives, with some italian meats and cheeses. Followed by homeade-pasta dish and a halibut entree. Dessert was very tasty as well. A bit out of the way, up by Troon, but we were glad... more

My wife and I had a wonderful time here; 1st trip was great, so we decided to go back for another try this year on 9/8. The building, which is like a castle, is an architeural delight. It's a bit of a hike from our hotel, The Phonician, about 35 minutes, but well worth it. Food is A+, service is... more

as a local, I pride myself on knowing the best places in town for dining, but i have to admit, this place went for years under my radar. Tucked away beneath the shadows of pinnacle peak, I guess the nearby residents are not too keen on revealing this jewel of the desert to the masses? Wow, what a great dining... more

We attended a wedding at Sassi. I can not give a great review of the menu since we were only given two choices for dinner. However, for a wedding venue it was beautiful and the staff seemed to bend over backwards for the wedding party and the guest. I did have the steak and it was wonderful. Even for a... more

Our dining experience at Sassi was extraordinary! We loved the old world charm and décor but mostly enjoyed the food and excellent service, especially that of the wine steward. The wines the steward recommended were excellent and it was refreshing to learn about wines from someone who was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. All of our food selections were delicious. As... more

Sassi is a unique restaurant that has an extensive wine list, beautiful environment, variety of dining experiences and world class customer service. From the moment we arrived, we were catered to. Water and wine glasses never allowed to go empty. Waiter gave excellent explanations of the various entrees. At one point we had 5 wait people serving the 4 of... more

I chose this restaurant to celebrate my parents' 41st wedding anniversary and my Dad's birthday. Having just moved to Scottsdale, I wanted to take them somewhere uniquely Scottsdale for their 1st visit here and researched restaurants exhaustively - talked to coworkers and friends as well as online research. Sassi disappointed in every way from service to food. Starting out, the... more
