Editorial Review for Sasso – by Gerrish Lopez

Twenty foot windows offer stunning street views while Tuscan hues create an elegant ambiance, all inside the cavernous space that was once Blackfin Chop House and Ambrosia on Huntington. Couples sit at the swanky, candlelit bar in the lounge area while diners enjoy attentive service in the main dining room. Sasso's menu features a different region of Italy each season; highlights include a rabbit leg confit with polenta and wild mushrooms, ricotta pyramids with wild boar, and red snapper with whipped potatoes and haricot verts.

Insider Tips

Parking

With few metered spots within walking distance, the restaurant's valet service ($16) is a necessary evil for most patrons.

When to Go

A late-night menu of starters and pastas is served nightly until 1:30am.

User Reviews for Sasso

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I don't usually write reviews, however I thought Sasso deserved a special mention. I am in pharmaceutical sales and dine out with larger groups at least twice a week. Sasso has become my go to place to hold important events. The management are focused on making sure the evening goes smoothly so you can relax and entertain your clients. At other restaurants I am constantly leaving my seat to check on things. I think the staff at Sasso are exceptional. The food is always fantastic and presented perfectly. If you have an important event or dinner I would strongly suggest you try them out.

Pros: excellent for large parties

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I have been to Sasso four times now. I am slowly working through the menu. The scallops over oxtail is my favorite followed closely by the duck over green garlic rissotto. The service on all visits has been very good attentive but not pushy. I would highly recommend Sasso

Pros: excellent

Upscale Italian fare at Lucca's sister-restaurant makes for a decadent dining experience near the Prudential Center.  See the full editorial review.
