I have been coming here for over 25 years now. I still love their bread and caesar salad made fresh table side. I often go on Friday afternoons just after opening to sit at the bar, have drink and eat an early dinner. Most recently had a nice dinner with my son to celebrate his 17th birthday. There's not much on the menu I wouldn't eat, but I have stuck to several favorites over the years. Osso bucco with shrimp and scallop alla bolla, fish (fresh ono or monchong) picatta, chicken alla cieca (my latest regular). I often finish with an affogato or ice cream tartuffo and an espresso. Love it here. I hope they never close.Reservations only for parties of 4 or more. 3 or less are walk-in only. Since COVID, they have are the are you doing a ton of take out and has continued steadily post pandemic. We will often do take out instead. They always include a fresh, warm loaf of bread and butter with each order...

Great service! Our wait staff was excellent! No wait for a table on a Friday, which is amazing! Last second dinner with the family. Ordered quite a few items and nothing was bad. Overall a good solid meal. Will def come back if we're in the mood for pasta and in the area!

The old owner use to put 5 pc of JUMBO shrimp salad. For the price we pay that’s reasonable. But now the new owner for the Mililani assagios only put 3 pc of shrimp! I was shocked when they say because it’s a big piece we only put 3?? It’s the same as jumbo shrimp as before! The one located jn kapolei and ala Moana puts 5. Not worth it anymore.

Great service and great food!! We dined in for lunchtime and it wasn't busy at all there was a cluster of people. Our waiter was great he was very attentive and kind. For appetizers: Calamari In Carrozza Fried Calamari Legs Eggplant Rollatini Main course: Chicken Alla Saltimbocca Romana Calamari Alla Scampi Style Dessert: Tiramisu Everything was great the exquisite taste the relaxing atmosphere was so refreshing that it made the whole meal feel even sweeter.

Came here for valentine's day and had a great time. The good was delicious, we has the osso buco on linguini and mushroom/seafood on linguini as well as the fresh made Caesar salad. The service was great and restaurant was clean and classy. No complaints!
Delicious food! Went for a late lunch after Valentine's Day week. We had the Artichoke Peperonata and the Clams Casino for appetizers I had a Cosmopolitan martini and my friend had a Moscow Mule. Everything was delicious. The restaurant wasn't crowded at 1:00pm. We decided to take home the large order of Eggplant Parmigiana. Great service! Our wait help and bartender was an employee for about 30 years. I mentioned that he was our waiter and we appreciated his service and expertise. Upon arriving home, I discovered that he included an extra helping of their delicious bread. Please support this local business! Excellent food and service every time we visit. We shall return! Mahalo for everything!

The restaurant was still clean and cozy. Staff was excellent. Food was delicious and prepared well. We celebrated my daughter’s birthday and they gave her a free dessert! Would have been a 5 star but they were out of certain selections one from the appetizer selection and one from the dessert selection. Little pricey.

This has always been our favorite restaurant but since new management took over we are not impressed. The food is not consistent ...sometimes it has no taste and some times the filet mignon or steak is so hard and full of fat and gristle you can't even chew it. The bread which we always loved seems to be hard and dry, maybe a new recipe or being overcooked. New wait staff, a few seem to not even speak good english. Long wait times for drinks and a few times our appetizers never arrived. Some servers are awesome and service is great...other times we can barely understand what the server is saying due to a language barrier and we don't receive our drinks or appetizers by the time our dinner arrives. Also we don't get checked on to see if our dinner was ok. I guess it depends on the chef and the server ...we miss the original Assaggios's when the food was consistently great, bread was excellent and service was always hard to beat. Now it's hit or miss!

I forgot to take pics again!! Dang it my bad Anywho I haven't been here in forever! lol Food was great!!! We ordered the calamari (awesome) I had the vegetarian mushroom linguine pasta with Alfredo (amazing) my girlfriends had filet mignon and shrimp scampi ( alittle dry but good, steak was alittle under cook but good) she killed that plate hehe And my other girlfriend had the veggie picante pasta with linguine (super good! Killed that plate lol) For desert we had tiramisu I absolutely loved that! It wasn't too sweet or string with coffee or liquor flavor it was just right. Drinks the birthday girl had a lemon martini something (I'm so wrong with the name lol sorry) she said it was strong but good. Stars are for the food mostly. 2-3 stars on service our waiter poor guy. We had a hard time understanding him (forgot his name) and he was not knowledgeable on wine selection or food. When we asked questions he just stood there and stared at us, like he had no clue what we were asking. My girlfriend asked about a sweet wine and his exact words were. " we don't have sweet nothing" I thought that was strange lol no explanation or suggestion on anything. Ambiance always a nice atmosphere in there and clean. They got super busy alittle after we arrived. Our reservations was at 5. Other than that Great place to eat!

Great Food, but better ambiance and atmosphere, and quiet place to relax, please don't take young kids as most people there are on dates and trying to keep the romantic atmosphere alive.
