Sassi

Description:

• This restaurant takes the business of food very seriously - it not only has an ideal location, housed in an Italian Villa, with 'take your breath away' views of the city and mountains but dining room options. Choose from the Kitchen dining room, the Garden Terrace, the Library dining room, the main dining room and the wine cellar, which is ideal for a private dinner. Its attention to detail extends to the cuisine - an ode to the old trattorias of Italy and has a variety of dishes including a small bar snack menu. The highlights from the menu are the homemade sausage (Spiedini di Salsiccia alla Lucania) and the scrumptious Frutti di Mare alla Griglia (a mixture of shrimp, calamari, octopus and halibut). Explore the pasta dishes as well, they are all hand made in the restaurant adding that dash of provincial living. This restaurant has everything, even true blue Italian dessert like biscotti, gelato and sorbetto; so if you've been eating balanced foods through the year, now's the time to embrace gluttony.
