Assaggio's Italian Bistro, Market & Pizzeria.

When I go to Raleigh, I see this restaurant from the light on the left. Otherwise, I forget because it's not typically in sight, therefore it's been on my mind to try for years. It hit my brain when we were in that specific area for an event. Entrée's come with 2 garlic knots and a salad. Garlic knots were delicious. The Ceasar salad was good too but not typical. It wasn't tossed with dressing like normal, it was drizzled on and you mix it. The homemade lasagna was second to mine... it was AMAZING and enough for 2 if you wanted to split. We also got the Gnocchi which was also delicious. I considered adding grilled chicken or sausage but didn't because we also had lasagna. If it had been my only Entree and we weren't sharing I would have added meat for protein. The best part is that everything was very cheesy which made me extremely happy since I LOVE cheese. We were too full for dessert. They do close earlier than the hours indicate. We were hanging out talking and realized they were closing about 9:00 versus 11:00 on the site and Google.

Literally the best Italian takeout in Raleigh. I haven't had Italian food that I didn't make myself since relocating from NY. NY is home to so many authentic Italian restaurants and growing up in a predominantly Italian neighborhood with Italian friends, I can say my standards are pretty high. I decided to order delivery from Assaggio’s after reading all the positive reviews about the hot dishes. I didn't feel like going out for dinner so we had our Friday night feast at home. I ordered the lasagna that came with 2 garlic knots and a fresh salad. Everything was good however I expected more fresh seasoning on the lasagna. It also was not as meaty as I needed it to be. I also ordered a eggplant parmigiana hero. Very good but I was not a fan of the bread. It could have been softer. Lastly, the Tuxedo cake was perfection ! It's moist chocolate cake with a thick white ganache filling and dark chocolate fudge frosting. I need to know which bakery this is from ! I want my wedding cake made there. The presentation of the food was spot on. So I'm giving Assagio's a 4.

This place is such a hidden gem in North Raleigh. The food is hot, fresh, and flavorful. We have dined here many times but today I especially wanted to mention how awesome the staff are. Everywhere you go businesses are short staff and it's like that here. But they push through and give excellent customer service and are doing their best. Please be patient if you decide to dine here, which you should! It is worth the wait. So shout out to the rockstar staff for working so hard.

Great food! Though you could tell they were short staffed, they were hustling and doing their best! We had planned to go the Peddler for dinner for our Dad's birthday, and with wait times of over 2 hours, we were calling around trying to find someplace that would take 6 people! We called ahead and by the time we got there, they had a table ready for us!

Great place to eat and drink during the day and early eveningFood is good-quality and easy on the pocket.
