This was our 3 visit to Sasso. On our previous 2 experiences I would give this restaurant 5 stars…service and food. But on this 3rd visit it was very disappointing. The waitress left us longer than expected to take our food order (I think we had almost finished our first drink) our empty beer bottles were left on the table until we mentioned for them to be removed. Our Burrata came without bread or biscuits, when I asked a waiter walking past for some bread to go with it, he could not speak English! I understand I’m in an Italian restaurant, but still!? The main meals were good, but not as ‘wow’ as our previous experience. The waitress who initially looked after us seemed to have disappeared (even though I could see she was still there) we were lucky to get another waiter towards the end of the evening who saved the day. He was delightful. Bringing our twins who turned 20 that day a complementary tiramisu with a candle for their birthday. Overall an average visit to Sasso, and I unfortunately won’t be rushing back.

The food and service is exemplary. And the variety is beyond expectation. We haven’t been so delighted with a restaurant in a long time. It’s probably not for a cosy romantic dinner but perfect for every other occasion. This is now my go-to place!

Despite having booked a table, we had a 15min wait. After ordering drinks, my husband’s drink arrived in 5 mins while I had to wait 15mins. Same with desserts, after ordering there was a 15min wait. This was disappointing.
Sasso ItalianoResponded on October 30, 2024
Dear Ruby, Thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us and are sorry to hear your evening did not live up to your expectations. Unfortunately, some times bookings run slightly over time, and while we do our best to ensure the table is ready, sometimes there are slight delays. A 15-minute wait for drinks and desserts is quite typical, as we prepare everything to order to ensure the highest quality. We're sorry to hear you were not made aware of any slight delays, and will ensure this is communicated clearly going forward. We would love to hear more about your experience and how we can continue to improve, please feel free to reach out at bookings@sassoitaliano.co m.au. Thank you kindly, Team Sasso

Taste of Talisman- Delightful decadence! A DJ set the mood with dulcet tones, curated wines were poured (South City Wine) shucking, hibachi-grilling, (Sassa & Casa Chow) & each chef spoiled us with a dessert. More-ish.

Ciao Michelle, Thank you for your review. We're thrilled you enjoyed our Taste of Talisman event! We loved having you in and showing you the best of Sasso and our sister venues; Casa Chow, South City Wine and Purple Palm. We hope to welcome you back to try more of our menu! With love, Team Sasso
