I really wanted to like this place .. but our waitress had absolutely no personality.. checked on us once .. didn't comment on the fact that my entire plate was full. I had the Penne alla Carbonara .. tasted nothing like a normal Carbonara .. she did take it off the bill once I had to say something to her ... just poor service .. and honestly the food was NOT good! I would not waste your time or money coming her ... read more

On my move down to the Boston area, my family and I went to Cafe Assisi in Wrentham. Definitely recommend a reservation because the space is relatively small. Despite the tables being close together, it doesn't feel super intrusive. As any classy Italian place should, they gave us bread and oil for the table which was much appreciated. Everyone was happy with their meals overall. For a drink, I had a lovely white sangria that was on the sweeter side. I got the lobster ravioli in a pink vodka sauce (pic 1) and it was very good. There were large lobster pieces in each ravioli and the sauce was slightly on the more acidic tomato side. My father ordered the mushroom ravioli (pic 2) which were honestly better than the lobster. The sauce was super creamy and the mushrooms were cooked perfectly. Drinks: 8/10 Food: 8.5/10 Ambiance: 7/10 Overall Experience: 8/10 read more

We had our mom's funeral lunch there. The food was so spectacular, everyone loved it. The service was amazing The staff was so nice and accommodating even down to the special touches, like a specially printed menu with our mo.'s name on it. I wished I lived closer because this would be our go to restaurant. Everyone raved about the whole experience. Thank you to everyone at Cafe Assisi for making my mom's service special. read more

I've heard good things about this place , so decided to give it a try. Unfortunately it's pretty overrated imo. Pricier than it should be. The food itself was average at best. Customer service was okay. Probably wouldn't return. read more

This is a wonderful restaurant! We are here from out of town, and visited Cafe Assisi after a shop at the Wrentham Village Outlets. We were seated quickly on their lovely patio, which had some cool fire tables for large parties. The food was delicious, and tasted authentic. Portions were plentiful. The service was awesome! Perfect little hidden gem. :) read more

We love this restaurant! There is such an extensive menu of delicious Italian cuisine that it's never a problem to find something each of us likes. Sometimes it's difficult to decide as so many great choices! From the appetizers to the desserts this is Italy's finest! You don't have to go to the North End! It's all here. During good weather we enjoyed eating outside in a cozy area with heat lamps if needed. We save this place for special occasions occasions . My girlfriends and I have done lunch there for fun- quite affordable. Whatever you choose, you will be happy and full! read more

Café Assisi is wonderful Italian restaurant that delivers authentic staples with an upscale twist. Like their Lasagna Agniello (lamb), Mushroom, Lobster or Sweet Potato Ravioli. All I have tried is very well done, a good quantity and good quality. The one exception was the Shrmp Pizza, it barely had any shrimp and they were so small they were almost difficult to find in a huge lake of white sauce; this was my disappointment. The Pappardelle con Salsiccia e Pollo. The Cannolis are delicious, as well as the Lemoncello Cake. The service was excellent, our waitress was wonderful taking care of seven of us without a hitch. We will be back for sure!!! read more

My new favorite restaurant. Better than any meal I ever got in the North End, by far. The warm, soft bread with garlic oil to start...delicious. The shrimp scampi was amazing, and addictive. The only thing that could have possibly made it better, would be the addition of sundried tomatoes, but it was still perfection without them. And the Limoncello cake...OMG. All of the staff was very friendly, attentive and welcoming. Our server, Vanessa, made our great experience exceptional. She's the best. It's a small restaurant, so you'll want reservations for dinner. We got there around 3pm, so we were able to be seated right away, but the place was still 3/4 full at that time. What a gem of a restaurant. read more

I've loved Assisi since I first was introduced several years ago. It's been a favorite spot even if I don't get there too often. After being away for a long time I came back to celebrate my son's 30th birthday. The food was excellent as usual but what really impressed me this time was the unbelievable service. The staff knew we were coming to celebrate a special occasion and they went out of their way to treat us like royalty. I can't thank them enough for making our birthday celebration so special. Assisi is one of my top five restaurants in the state and is as good or better than most well regarded Italian places in Boston, and much more affordable. A big thanks to everyone on staff at Assisi. I can't say enough good things about this place and I can't wait to go back, hopefully soone. NOTE: like others, I was a little put off about the fee for extra bread however, inflation is making it hard for small businesses and I would gladly pay the extra cost to ensure quality restaurants like Cafe Assisi can stay in business. I also don't need the extra carbs especially given the generous portions at Assisi. It's really only a bummer because the bread is so good. read more

Always ,Always delicious! Great Italian food . A little crowded for my liking but food and service more than make up for it .

Ordered take out recently and disappointed. Tomatoes in the Mediterranean salad were not ripe and hard. Maybe 4 balls of mozzarella. The " Assisi" Dressing was not the normal balsamic based that normally comes with the salads. I also thought that they had changed the menu and added a few more options, but I did not see those. read more

after hearing great things about this place, I went to try it. Had the antipasto and chicken parm. Average at best. Antipasto was skimpy, but no complaints on quality. Chicken parm was dry, and not crisp. Over cooked pasta. Mediocre. Especially for the price $$$. Cute restaurant though and very friendly staff. read more

I thought this place was amazing... Went there last night, and what a huge disappointment. Waitress did a good job, but felt rushed. Our food came out within 10 minutes (microwaved food). My friend ordered Eggplant Parm but got Chicken Parm. I got the chicken Broccoli with cream sauce. Chicken was boiled, no seasoning on it. No seasoning in that.. and to hear the microwave go off every few minutes was disheartening. Needs my flavor and to not feel rushed would've been nice.... read more

After a quick trip to Wrentham outlets, my friends and I were looking for something quick to eat. We ordered three mains to share amongst four of us and we polished the dinner. Mushroom ravioli ($21) was rich and creamy, but perhaps for our palette it would be too much to eat as a stand-alone. Gnocchi bolognaise and chicken parm were tasty but the pasta/gnocchi were not al dente. Otherwise, a satisfying meal overall! read more

Went with friends and very disappointed in my meal. Two of us got the lobster scampi for $32. It would have been ok if they had actually put lobster In it. Both of us who had this dish had two pieces of lobster each. The pieces were the size of a quarter each. It blows my mind that a chef would send a $32 dish out to a customer that looked like what was served and think that would be acceptable. It was insulting. When we pointed it out to our waitress she did offer us something else but at that point wasn't going to wait for a whole new dish to come out. They then brought out 3 shrimp each to put in the scampi. The price was not adjusted either. Very dissatisfying. We should have at least been offered a free desert but there did not seem to be too much concern by our waitress. The picture on your web site of this dish is deceptive advertising since our dish just looked like a bowl of pasta with cherry tomatoes. read more

Have been here many times and received wonderful service. We have ordered catering, etc. Tonight the waitress was beyond rude. I ordered a gin and tonic which was served in a massive water glass. I asked for an appropriate sized cocktail glass to which she argued "just try it" many times despite me asking for a smaller glass. Overall, the waitress was rude and unfriendly. The fan above aggressively ripped the burlap into shreds into our food. we asked if it could be turned down. No apology. It was all very strange. Will never return. read more

Food is always excellent. Definitely better sitting outside as the restaurant is small and you can't have any private conversations. Lots of take outs every night probably due to this. Wish they had a better location. read more

I'm surprised that they have declined their tastes in some foods. Not sure if it was the chef that left the job or changed the owner. I might not return for another dinner until I see some improvements in the comments. read more

Bread and dipping sauce was delicious. Wine was good but not a generous pour. Two girlfriends and I wanted to see what the fuss was about and we were underwhelmed. We shared a mediterranean salad that clearly is preassembled so it showed up wilted/some rotted lettuce/sliced cucumbers were dried out at the edges. It was not a huge salad for $11. I had the seafood risotto stufffed pepper which is an appetizer but enough to fill me up. The risotto was ok, not great and larger accompanying shrimp were overcooked and tough. This comes with a sauce called Assisi Sauce but tasted like barely seasoned cannned stewed tomatoes. I was disappointed that they used can black olives as well. I think I have been spoiled by some very good Italian restaurants who use the finest ingredients. The Butternut Squash ravioli my friend got looked tasty but was a small portion. The bill was $100. for 3 dinners. I won't be going back. The server was not great either but its not worth mentioning. If you want decent Italian in this area go to Mansfield's Cibo Matto and for special occasion Italian- go up the street from Cibo Matto to Trattoria D'ella Nonna- you won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing Italian food/very authentic. We live in Woonsocket, RI which is pretty much a culinary wasteland , so it's nice to have a great Italian restaurant close by. The chicken parm is a must try as is their pizza. Pretty much everything we've had here is excellent. My overly picky Italian husband gives Cafe Assisi high marks as well! He judges an Italian restaurant by their gravy . If it's too sweet, it's no good and he loves their gravy/always asks for extra on the side! The only downside to this restaurant is it's small and the bar is very tiny. Reservations are a must as it's packed pretty much all the time. read more

I book marked this location after reading the rave reviews. Living in Italy has us chasing Italian restaurants in America looking for the 'real deal'. This isn't it, but it's still OK. First, the staff are super friendly. The complimentary warm bread and spiced olive oil they put on the table is very nice. The wine list has a few Italian wines along with others. The menu has the food items you would expect at an Italian restaurant. The ravioli dish ordered was previously frozen. Pasta, especially ravioli, is so easy to make. Serving frozen is a shame, especially as you can buy pre-made that is not frozen. The steak was cooked to order, and the roasted veg sweet. The size of the steak was generous but it was not a lean cut of beef and a better, smaller cut would have been preferred. Based on the taste and quality of these two dishes, the price point on both is excessive. The house made lemoncello tastes exactly like the store bought kind and is served ice cold. Their version of tiramisu is tasty with a nice powdered chocolate on top and a drizzle of pre-made chocolate fudge sauce on the plate. This is not however actually tiramisu which is soaked in espresso. This is a dry cake with flavored cream between the layers. The staff all speak Spanish which has me wondering why they decided to open an Italian restaurant. The price point on the food and beverage is too high for the quality of food and ambiance. I'm glad I gave them a try and met their delightful staff, but I won't be making the drive a second time. read more

Food here is always great regardless of what you order. And don't forget the cannolis.

My wife's birthday is the day after Valentine's Day, so we tend to go out for dinner on that day. We love sitting up at the bar if there is space. The service is exceptional. I love their Seafood Fra Diavolo. There was a Filet Mignon with Shrimp special available, which I decided to try. I forgot to take a picture of my "before" plate...so all you I have is the "after". Absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend Cafe Assisi. read more

Cafe Assisi - Italian Near Me - Wrentham, Massachusetts

This was our first time there and it was my husbands 60th birthday which I did not let them know. We ordered wine,fine. We order the calamari appetizer, not good at all, thick rings and way over done. Hubby ordered the special, chicken, shrimp and prosciutto and cheese, good but only 2 shrimp. I ordered one of their specialty meals with shrimp, good but only 3 shrimp. Mentioned to our server that the calamari was over done and all we got was a sorry. We felt very hurried by the waitstaff even though there were empty tables. Dessert was ok. We are not in any hurry to return even though we have heard rave reviews. Sorry Cafe Assisi, we won't be back. read more

We wanted to get some food before we head to the airport and we were in the area. I noticed there were more people sitting outside rather than inside since it was nice outside. The host had so much energy and greeted us very warmly. We went during lunchtime so we had the lunch menu and there was a lot of variety of pastas, pizzas, sandwiches, etc. Our waitress was also very attentive! I ordered the chicken parmesan and the pasta was cooked pretty well. The crust of the chicken was very crispy and the meat inside was also really tended! The sauce however was a little runny and I got tired of it near the end of finishing my meal. My dad was deciding between a pizza or lasagna and he was delighted to hear that there was a lasagna pizza! The crust was really crispy and the cheese was melted beautifully as each bite had a fantastic cheese pull. Good authentic Italian food if you're ever in the area or looking for a new place to try! read more

The boyfriend and I stopped in here for the first time after driving by a couple times thinking it looked nice. This is the real deal hot right out of the oven kinda place. The kind of place I gotta let it cool a while before you dig in. As an app We had eggplant It Was to die for. Excellent red sauce with nice slices of red peppers mixed in. Nice size portion. Definitely enough to serve 4 people I'd say. We took 1/2 ours home. My man had the Luciano Pavarotti It was toasted to perfection and was delish ! I had the Medditeranean salad with blackened chicken. Also delish. Grilled chicken on top of the salad was nice and hot and the salad itself was really nice. Our server Taylor was the s&@t !! Gave us extra sauce for leftovers and knew the menu. really read more
