Assaggi - McLean

I glanced at reviews before we went which said the restaurant was very good, the food was delicious, but the service could be brusque. They compared it to a typical Roman restaurant in Italy. This is all absolutely true. The food was very good, though quite expensive. However, I don’t believe the server smiled more than once even though we tried many times to get him to be pleasant. He was brusque, short with us, and certainly not Italian! If he was just a bit pleasant the evening would’ve been much more enjoyable. I would not return.

Food was fantastic! Only negative I can think of was only one salad choice, but it was a really good salad.

Our go to place for great Italian food. Pastas are amazing. Service from Aleks is always very professional and courteous. Plus she knows her wine and makes very practical suggestions.

With the exception of a very bland risotto preparation the food quality was excellent. However, the portion sizes relative to the price of the dishes was very disappointing.

Always lovely; the truffle specials were amazing, the service never fails to impress. Altogether wonderful evening.
