Shockingly disappointing – We were very excited to go to Sassi last night for the first time since we heard of the spectacular ambiance and outdoor patio seating, which was just as beautiful as described to us. We ended up thoroughly disappointed with the evening, however. The food portions are very small (smallest portions I've ever seen). For what you pay for the meal (high-end prices), it is an insult. The meal was also shockingly average in taste and quality. The worst experience was with the dessert. A place like this s... read more

unbelievable – my wife nearly cried when the mean manager coldheartedly stated - thats not my problem. A special romantic occasion ruined. None of our arrangements were honored. I wish i read all the blogs first. The bad stuff is true no one in authority cares at Sassi or wants to make things right for the customer when the food is bad. I have a petition in to the scottsdale city council. Their rude behavior ruined our special day. if you don't believe me check it out for your self. Perhaps he's just uneducated and that woul... read more

The Best – Loved this restaurant. Warm inviting, great food and wine. Very different, not the ordinary Italian restaurant, not much in the way of red sauce (gravy to Italian's) no cheesy sauces, very clean and tasty. Healthy too I'll bet. Read some of the other reviews, but totally disagree upon my experience. I have been to places leaving unhappy, but always gave them a second chance,and usually found it to be better. I have had friends who were married there and loved it, and said the staff went way over and above. My reco... read more

terrible food poor service for such a pretty restaurant – Growing up in San Francisco I love Italian food- and after moving to Phoenix I was disappointed to learn no one could recommend a good Italian restaurant. With my birthday approaching I inquired about Sassi-it was described as a beautiful restaurant with authentic Italian food -I thought great! I made my reservation on line providing a special note that this was a birthday. We also called to confirm the reservation and to request a front patio table. We arrived early ... read more

Avoid weddings... – The setting at Sassi is beautiful and I was very happy with the level of customer service while planning. Even the ceremony was beautiful and what I wanted. However, a month or so after I recieved a call from my linen company that was reccomended by the wedding planner letting me know that the linens were never returned...this was a task that the wedding planner took on without me asking explaining that is was a common part of their services. However, somehow they were never returned and I was not contact... read more

Outstanding Scenery – When you arrive, you are immediately drawn in by the sheer elegance of Sassi, The grounds are breathtaking. From the entery to the front doors everything is absolutely beautiful. This is where it stops. We were with a group of 22 people and based on the size of Sassi, I would think they would be used to this however, the service was sub-standard. The appetizers were brought out well before anyone sat down then they realized they forgot one of the dishes so, after about 35 minutes, the last of the appeti... read more

Beautiful experience – Our son/daughter-in-law chose Sassi for their wedding, reception, and dinner nearly a year ago. There were 100 guests and they traveled from both coasts and points in between. The food and wines were outstanding. Some of the guests even asked for the recipes. The cake was a masterpiece. Although Peter was the event planner, every single member of the Sassi staff including Peter, treated us all with the utmost courtesy and consideration. We even had a last-minute wedding veil emergency and a staff membe... read more

Delicious! – The restaurant is beautiful, very romantic, has amazing service, excellent food, beautiful views, and is by far my favorite valley getaway! I was actually considering having a wedding here until I read the review with the poor service/ dining experience, which was dissapointing. Either way, go with the family or a date and enjoy. I was very impressed!

NOT Good for Groups – Do NOT have your wedding reception or group gathering here! My experience at Sassi was awful. Our group had almost 100 people. Sassi is beautiful, however, the overall experience was devastating. The lead waitperson for the wedding argued with guests on several occasions and management acted in an arrogant and condescending manner. The prices charged per person were some of the highest quoted by any establishment in the Valley but the quality of the meals and beverages served were mediocre, at best, and... read more
