From the moment you enter, the atmosphere is welcoming — the walls are painted with Michelangelo-inspired art and the place buzzes with convivial chatter. You'll find Mauro there with a smile, traveling from table to table to ensure each diner's comfort and satisfaction.

But, of course, the best reason to come to Assaggio is the food. A carefully composed menu of bold, robust central and northern Italian cuisine has received accolades since Assaggio first opened its doors.

Mauro Golmarvi, Proprietor

Mauro Golmarvi, with over 25 years of experience as a chef, founded Assaggio Ristorante in 1993. As the owner, Golmarvi manages all aspects of the restaurant's operations, from menu development and execution, to staff training, budgeting, and serving as the restaurant's proud maitre d'. Golmarvi's role in the restaurant is that of a true host. He welcomes guests as if they were visiting his own home, while supervising the kitchen, and ensuring that the food's quality and consistency never varies.

Owner-chef Mauro Golmarvi has created a menu, a welcoming feast, that is rich in flavors and authenticity. The popular antipasti plate provides an ideal introduction. Then there's pasta, risotto, soups, and meat dishes. Perhaps you would like to try one of the house specialties, Pollo Mattone, a flattened, roasted half-chicken on a bed of marinated bread with arugula, rosemary and lemon-wine sauce.
