Half the menu was unavailable. However, luckily the view meals available which we ordered were delicious.

This restaurant was a local institution with great Italian food, great atmosphere and great service despite always being packed. Sadly not any more... hopeless service, no atmosphere and ok food at best. We will not be returning.

Waited 2 hours and 18 mins for our mains. Pasta was over cooked and clumped together. Entree pizza came out burnt and dry - inedible. Extremely disappointed. Would never go back.

Assaggi Italiano knows it has become a failure as a restaurant. The food was as my friend aptly described it, a failed home cooked meal. It was a restaurant without a chef. The boss was cooking the “meals” and you could hear other diners complaining about the service and the food. There was a note of apology inside the menu asking for customer patience while their situation was being resolved. I wonder about their patience if we were to say we need time to organise the $163 for 3 people bill charged in early August 2019. A total rip off for what we received-one course and a couple wines per person. I wouldn’t blame anyone for not believing that they asked us for a tip. Dishonest I think.

I think this was actually the worst dining experience I have ever had, anywhere in the world! Food was poor, service was slow and rude (except for one fabulous, unfortunate girl), they didn't actually serve what was on the menu and couldn't cope with one of our table who was coeliac... ("Why don't you just put the bread sticks to the side?"!). NEVER go to this place!

What the hell happenned last night? The wines on the list were not available, a lot of the food dishes were not available, my meal was not what I had ordered and the poor waiter was taking the brunt of the problems. Don't think I want to return. There are better places around.

Bland food, poor service and apologetic staff are the hallmarks of this restaurant. The staff view the customer as an inconvenience.

unfortunately the restaurant was under staffed which meant cold meals which had to be returned, a 45 minute wait for drinks and not all drinks came. Lovely staff members, but clearly not enough of them on the night we went. This restaurant use to have an amazing reputation, unfortunately I wouldn't recommend it now

Such a shame as they were understaffed on this evening. Have had wonderful experiences in the past but very disappointing tonight. Further training with staff in difficult situations would be very helpful ie. explaining why meals took 1 1/2 hrs to arrive and to find out at that point they had no risotto so one person at our table had no meal. Kudos to the staff that tried hard but overall, not a great experience.

Food great as always but there was a 10 minute gap between delivery of the first diner’s main course and the other other 3. Despite apologies, this is not really acceptable.

Food very nice but service needs major improvement. V poor - we were left for ages before anyone even came to our table to take drink orders or menu orders. Constantly had to find waiters to ask for more drinks. Waiters ignored our table - we had to constantly go up to them to ask to spend more money with them. Very poor communication and under qualified staff. Made the whole experience unpleasant. Shame as the food itself was very nice.

Our 1st time at Assaggi, and unfortunately disappointed. It started off well but for whatever reason we never received our main course. It seems everyone else in the restaurant and whoever ordered through Uber eats got their meal but ours obviously never got to the kitchen or was misplaced.

For the comparatively high price you pay, this restaurant is disappointing. The vegetables were undercooked, the meat was overcooked (tough) and the kitchen forgot to our first course entirely. The waiting staff could also not pronounce the dishes they were serving.

There was a long delay in advising one of our group of 8 that they ran out of rice for the risotto. Free dessert and coffee was donated to square things up.

Food was fantastic. If it's the food you're after, it's some of the best. The head waiter needs to treat his staff better in front of his customers though.

Didn’t have some pasta dish on the menu because they “ran out” and this was when they started operating early on dinner. The pasta is okay, good that it’s homemade but it’s pretty bland and average - Nothing really to shout about. Their pizza and calzone is not bad, good that it’s wood fired and not too oily. The coffee was average. The hot chocolate was one of the most awful one I’ve ever tasted and it was partially cold. Don’t order the hot chocolate. Service wise, it was great and the people working there are very friendly and fun.

Everything was perfectly cooked - lamb, calamari and prawns particularly. Amazing. We saw why this restaurant had been here so long. Thank you.
