Assaggio’s

This is truly a great restaurant with great staff and warm feel. But MAN they use a lot of garlic. I love garlic but they bury some dishes with it. Half the garlic and this is a 5 star.

Great little place close to home. I ordered a simple pizza on my first trip and it was fantastic. My family eats there frequently and we’ve never had a bad meal. It’s worth checking out.

Was craving gnocchi and found Assaggio’s on a list of best places in Raleigh to get gnocchi. Discovered on their website that they deliver within a 4-​mile radius, so ordered a couple of dinners for my husband and me. Asked to have it delivered at 6:30 and was delighted when the doorbell rang at 6:29 and 40 seconds! YUM! The gnocchi was fantastic – light and pillowy – as was the chicken piccata. Huge portions – will be enjoying gnocchi again for lunch! Couldn’t resist the chocolate cannoli and was not disappointed! One of the best cannolis I’ve ever had. Slam dunk dinner. And delivered! Can’t believe I’ve driven by Assaggio’s for 5 years and never tried it till tonight. I have a feeling we will be making up for that going forward!

My favorite is Chicken Marsala but I get it with Linguini noodles. So good. Service is friendly, they do a good job all the way around.

Never disappoints! This place has great pasta, always enough for leftovers! The pizza isn’t greasy and it is served hot! Also, the tuxedo cake is my favorite!

Delicious and great service. One of our child’s favorite places. Used to ask to go here after every dance class. Garlic rolls!
Lucky to have this around; I’m always surprised at what upper Glenwood furniture row is able to attract and keep.
Go early on a Friday night — very popular, long waits, and noise.

By far the best spaghetti I’ve had from a carry out restaurant! Assaggio’s definitely gained a new customer!

Pasta dishes were delicious and I had leftovers (which almost never happens). With each pasta dish you get garlic knots and a side salad so for the price ($ 12-​$ 15) this place is a steal.

I only got the pizza here so can’t speak for the rest of the menu. We ordered a large size pizza and we wanted to split it half and half of two of their gourmet pizzas but we were told they couldn’t do that (gourmet pizzas have to be ordered whole) So that was disappointing. So we ordered one whole large gourmet pizza – the mona lisa. I’m a huge lover of margherita style pizza and that’s what i was expecting. But if I had to sum up this pizza in one word, it’d be TOMATOES. I’m used to tomatoes being diced up atop the pizza, but this was sliced tomatoes covering the pizza. And so the the tomato slice to mozzarella chunk ratio is like 5:1. I was disappointed. My friend got a cheese and pepperoni pizza and that was delicious. So I think it was just our choice. So i’m just throwing this out there: don’t get the tomato pizza! (aka mona lisa)
Service was great though, which is another reason why i’m giving this place high marks. We ordered a large pizza, but they accidentally prepared us a medium size, so we got that one free and they went ahead and made us a large to bring home. Very nice!

Fist time here! Was a bit hesitant after ordering at the counter for lunch and not being seated but… WOW! Ordered off the dinner menu Chicken Parm with salad and garlic knots! Salad was fresh and plate chilled, garlic knots were awesome but the chicken Parm was the star of the show! Pasta was perfectly Al dente and sauce was not overly sweet. The chicken was lightly breaded and cooked to perfection! I have lived in NC for most 9 years and this is the best Italian I have ever had. Waitress had many tables but knew how to handle everyone with ease! This is now my new go to Italian place. You MUST try!

This place is amazing lets just start with that. First the garlic knots taste heavenly they have such a wonderful taste and are coated with chunks of roasted garlic. The salads are fresh and are crisp with a variety of dressing options, but are good enough to eat with out any dressing at all. I had the penne alla vodka the pasta was perfectly cooked and the creamy tomato sauce added the perfect taste and texture to the dish. The portions are generous and you are glad they are knowing your lunch is going to be great the next day! If you are in the area this place is worth the stop so come in and try it.

I love that this place is so close to our home. Their Chicken Piccata is TO DIE FOR. It comes with a choice of pasta (usually linguini, spaghetti, or penne) and garlic knots and side salad! When my husband and I feel like having a hot date night in, we order Assagios to go. I must add that we have also ordered their pizza twice now and it beats all the other NY style pizzas we have tried in Raleigh.

We decided to give this place a try after driving past it nearly everyday and the positive Unilocal reviews. We ordered on the phone a large NY Style Pepperoni and Mushroom with a side of garlic knots. (Only because of how much other Unilocalers raved about it!)
The order was said to be ready in 25 minutes. When we arrived to pick up it was piping hot and ready to go.
The garlic knots were fluffy and moist, you must give them a try!
The 18 inch pizza was HUGE. The slices had the perfect amount of toppings and it wasn’t as greasy as other ny style pizzas I’ve had in the area.
We will definitely be coming back here to give more of their menu a try.

Interesting place. I’m not sure about the atmosphere, we didn’t really feel cozy or relaxed. The food was pretty good except for the salad. It looked not fresh. Average place with average food. Good place for a quick stop.

Friendly staff and best kept secret in this area. Where else can you get two slices of pizza and a drink for $ 6? You can also substitute one of the slices of pizza for a salad. They have these specials at lunch until 4pm. Garlic knots are bangin!

Assagios has the BEST garlic knots! They come free with your entrée. I always get the gnocchi in a pink sauce– portions are so big and I am usually so stuffed with garlic knots that I have plenty to take Home. Reasonable prices. The bruschetta was good– a little too tomato-​y for me– but the bread was great!
Our server Tom was exceptional and hope we sit in his section next time!

It was our first visit and I was looking forward to it after reading the reviews. The server was very personable and took great care of us. The atmosphere is nice and cozy, but not at all pretentious. Then there’s the food… I don’t know how it could have been any better. I’m sort of picky when it comes to sauce and REALLY enjoyed the veal parmesan. My girlfriend had the chicken piccata and loved it. The portions are generous too. We WILL be back.

May have lost a loyal customer… :(
I literally oerder delivery from Assagios 3 to 4 times a month… sometimes more.
I always order Lobster Ravioli and or Shrimp Alfredo Pasta. Today is Monday, I ordered the same meal (LobsterRav) Friday and received two completely different meals.
Todays rav is hard, dry and unappetizing. I have to use a knife to cut them open so I can eat them. Usually I can use the side of my fork. When I opened the lid, all I saw was white, not a seasoning in site. I dumped some garlic powder and Mrs. Dash on it to try to stomach it. I dont know if I will even finish this meal, I really dont want it.
I’m so upset. This is my favorite restaurant. I don’t even mind the 1 hour wait times even though I’m right next door. The food has always been worth it. Until today.
I spoke with a manager and they’ve iffered me $ 5 off my next order… I’m just not sure there will be a next order.
Crisis Handled: Called and complained again. Manager remade my order and gave me a free slice of cheesecake. Thank you, sir. This remake is perfect.

Was good. Those jumbo shrimps were huge. Oh man. Pretty good price with 2 sides. Gotthe shrimp fra diavolvo ($ 18). That dessert was $ 3.50. First time trying it. Was good. But I’m not much of a cream cheese person. Too much for me. Too much sauce in the shrimp fra diavolvo but thats just me. Maybe some people prefer a ton of sauce. Friendly waiter and host. Clean place. Was new to Raleigh and haven’t had Italian in a long time. Pretty good salad with 1000 island sauce. Interesting.

The food is excellent. I was on my way to Olive Garden and decided to stop here since I have my clothes dry cleaned next door. The waiter is nice and very attentive. My food came out fast and delicious. The portions are great and similar to what Olive Garden has. Pricing is the same as well. Overall I am impressed if you are in the area and starving for Italian, then Assagios is the place. #SupportLocalRestaurants
