Food was almost inedible. The bolognese was soupy with big pieces of undercooked crunchy carrot, overcooked mushy pasta and Very bland. The steak was as also so thin and chewy, over another big white soupy flavorless "risotto". Tasted like Arborio rice in milk. So disappointing. Not sure what happened to this place the last few years. Will never return. read more

Have been back a couple times, both experiences were nothing like the first. Extremely disappointing. The first time we were seated in the room with the bar, it was cramped but enjoyable. The second and third time we were seated in the room with the open kitchen. Was very loud, hot and extremely cramped with either the staff or other patrons waiting to be seated or waiting for take out bumping into our chairs. The telephone was ringing off the hook right behind our heads. Servers very nice, but rushed us in and out. Hostess/manager unprofessional and extremely rude! Never in any restaurant experience have I encountered such arrogance. This is a red sauce kind of place only. Everything else is extra heavy on the butter, cream and is extremely rich. Not authentic Italian food. Will not return. Plenty of other restaurants around with management that actually value their customers. 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

Came here for dinner on a Thursday night; two of us arrived around 7pm. Walking in, we were greeted and sat promptly. Once sat, bread and oil was delivered to the table. This bread was so good, we asked for seconds. We each started with a cocktail (my old fashioned was very good). We started with fried calamari as an appetizer. It had a light batter and light fry to it, which meant it wasn't dense from oil. The calamari plus some hot peppers and marinara sauce -SO GOOD! For dinner, I opted for seafood fra diavlo. The portion was perfect, not a whopping bowl that you have to take some home. And the ratio of seafood to pasta was much better than I usually find at other restaurants. For dessert, we got two slices of cake - a carrot cake and a turtle cheesecake. When our waitress brought them out, she recalled from checking our IDs (when we ordered drinks) that it was my husband's birthday, so she put a candle on it and sang happy birthday! I thought that this was truly above and beyond! The place is on the smaller side with tables close together, but nothing horrendous. It has an open kitchen that you can watch your dinner being prepared. With the kitchen being open, a bar area, tables close together, it can get above average for noise levels. If you are looking for an intimate dinner, this wouldn't be the best option. However, there was never a point where I couldn't hear what my husband was saying nor a point where I got annoyed with the noise level. Overall, a great find for Italian food in the Wrentham area. Definitely plan on returning! read more

We hadn't been here in a while and were disappointed in both mine and my husband's meals. Chicken Piccata tasted like it was drenched in lemon juice - very overpowering. Chicken parm sauce tasted like tomato's out of a can, bland with no seasoning. Both meals the chicken was tough to cut and chew. Like it had been overcooked by reheating it in the microwave for too long. Food has gone downhill, we will not be back. read more

Wow, I had one of the most disgusting meals of my lives. I ordered the papardelle bolognese, and it was one of the most revolting meals I have ever eaten. The noodles were beyond overdone. I NEVER send food back, but this dish was completely unetable. It was essentially a giant bowl of mush covered in a painfully sweet tomato sauce. My sister ordered some ravioli that were perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned. I must have gotten the new cook or something. One extra star for how polite the waitress was when I complained. read more

Service was friendly and fantastic!!! First visit. Veal Parm and Chicken Francese were the best. My wife said the Lemoncello cake was the best she ever had!!! read more

This is unequivocally my favorite Italian restaurant. Their marinara is bright and their smoked mozzarella is incredible. Every time I fly back to Massachusetts I make a trip. read more

I have had a very disturbing experience at cafe assisi in which 3 times the pasta and sauce accompanying the veal parm ead cold each time. As a result they charged me full price for the meal when I said are you serious? They only took 4 dollars off and nothing else was offered. Needless to say I was not satisfied with the side cold pasta and cold sauce. Disgraceful. I ended up going to macdonalds as I was so hungry. Never to return. read more

Order sandwiches for take out to eat somewhere scenic with a friend. I'm a vegetarian - I ordered a basil, tomato and mozzarella. Finally got to our destination... I took a big bite of my sandwich to pull out a piece of prosciutto. Extremely disgusted and dissatisfied. I guess check your sandwiches before you leave with them... read more

It's a cute little place, but the portions are so small I left pretty hungry. It's expensive for what you get- I can make butternut squash ravioli at home...it's cute for date night though, especially if the other person pays for it lol. read more

Always excellent food and superior service, with a quaint down home atmosphere. We love this place!

Excellent food - service superb - cozy - never have a bad time or meal! Thank you! MSC read more

Walking in the door you are immediately greeted. You think you own the place. The dining is close but comfortable. The food, which is what you are there for, is unquestionably the best around. I make sure that I at least have a pizza each week from here but, the meals leave you making reservations for a quick return. Just great Italian food. read more

Did you get new cooks Cafe Assisi? Seems like it. I have been here several times and enjoyed it. Recent visit was not as good at all. Very greasy butternut ravioli dish-very small portion. Dried out ravioli and many had fallen apart. Could not taste any sage in it at all. Friend got the calamari pasta which was drowned in sauce and she actually felt it had too much calamari in it. Lemon cake was the best part. Don't think I'll go back soon. read more

Food is completely bland. Waitress was very rude and in a terrible mood. It was a busy night, understood, but do not take it out on your customers. read more

Relatively small place but good food. Better to make reservations beforehand. Got takeaway, took about 20-25 mins. Got the caprices pizza (6 slices) and the eggplant parm both of which were pretty good. Overall good experience, glad I came here after going to the outlet malls instead of going to one of the chain restaurants. read more

Great Italian food in a smaller quaint and quiet setting. Service is amazing from the owner to the servers and busers.

This was my second time here. First with my sister-second with my family. It was so awesome I had to bring my family. My daughter traveled abroad and raved about pear raviolis in Italy. She ordered it and was so amazed at the taste!! She can't wait to go again. I ordered the stuffed pork tenderloin--OMG!! From presentation to taste amazing!! Hugh portion, I had enough for snack later that day and lunch.hubby had chicken parmigiana and said it was great. My other daughter got the cheese ravioli and loved it. Service was also awesome!! Definitely coming back!!! read more

Not a comfortable place to eat, tables are on top of one another, literally. Ordered the Chicken Francese, was topped with tons of green and red peppers, summer squash and Zucchini. Ick, the peppers overpowered the lemon sauce. Would never order that again, or eat in the restaurant. Hubby had lasagne which he liked. Chicken Francese is my favorite Italian food, get it all of the time. What they served was not it, period. read more

Food was very bland. Tasteless. The best part was the oil to dip the bread in. Service was good.

This place has good vibe with small tables spaced very close to each other for half of the restaurant and a bar on the other half. It's a little noisy but not enough to ruin conversations. There is no pretentiousness here, just rustic Italian cooking, no fancy dishes and decor with the food. However if you are looking to have a decent meal at a vibrant location, this is it. I had some calamari for starters that were fried just right. For the main I ordered the veal cacciatore and it was average, though it was placed on the capellini which were over cooked and mushy. The portions are above average in size. For dessert I had a cannoli with as per the mean included a generous amount of ricotta cream and it was true! The service was quick, pleasant and to the point. read more

got take out yesterday for fathrs day. Being in the restaurant business myself for many years, I know holidays are not the best times to dine. We have eaten there previously and been very happy but I have to say the prices I was charged and the portion I received was a disgrace. I realize times are tough now but it was over the top. Taken advantage of customers you should be ashamed. read more

Great, great, great pizza. Try the sausage! Their bartending staff is also awesome. Gave me a really good cocktail recommendation. Can't wait to get back! read more

The food is very good and always tastes like a home cooked meal. Plus inside the restaurant has a very cozy feel

This place is mediocre at best. We ordered a veal dish, gnocchi with bolognese meat sauce, side of spinach & broccoli. The gnocchi had so many weird vegetables that were not finely chopped. Veal was not that good.. Dessert was a cannoli. The dishes were not very flavorful & the taste was not good. Cannoli was ok,. The 2 stars were because we sat outside & the wine was good. I definitely would not come back here again. read more

Cute spot that has figured out a creative way to make the outdoor dining experience pleasant during the pandemic with some strategic fencing, plants, lights and heat lamps...you almost forget it's on a busy street. The bread was warm and the oil was good, but I felt a disappointed by the butternut squash ravioli after the second bite. The pasta was very dense and chewy, which took away from the squash filling, and while I love sage brown butter, the vegetables were finely chopped and were sort of drowning in it. Seemed a bit overpriced for what it was, service was a bit spotty, but the ambiance was nice. They had a visible sanitation station that was visited frequently, so that was a plus from a covid perspective. read more

Ownership must have changed. The food isn't nearly as good, and the environment is noisy and rushed and feels more like a bar then a nice little restaurant. They charge you if you'd like more bread! Seriously?! We used to love this place and use it for business dinners too, but we'll find a new spot. read more

Incredible good, lovely spot, great service, lovely people!! I always forget about this place and that's a crime!

Enjoyed the dinner but...., it's funny how when I called they had said there wasn't any availability for Patio & when we arrived immediately sorted on the Patio without hesitation what so ever. So... I'll keep coming back regardless because is NOT the CHEF fault and my taste pallet's always on the HIGH DEMAND FOR MY PASTA & Assisi Sangria read more

We ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with meatballs on the side, and the lasagna. As always it was spectacular. Their desserts are also stand outs..... you can't pick a wrong dessert! read more

Both the service and food was great as always. Freshly made authentic dishes, good portions and hot. Never lets us down and even great for take out. read more

I went here for lunch after Christmas. The food was okay . I had the chicken fried sandwich. Chicken was a little overcooked and dry. I also got charged twice on my charge card for the same amount. I've been trying to reach them for several days, but no one seems to be picking up the phone. I've had good luck before this wasn't one of those times. read more

Food was great, atmosphere superb. Service was spot on and server was very attentive.

I find the food hit or miss, but when it's good it's great. Dining in can be very crowded. The people are usually very nice.

Unfortunately, we cannot return to Cafe Assisi. Caprese salad today had unripened green tomatoes and a very tasteless mozzarella. Stale sandwich bread and the meatballs were just awful. No taste. Hard to believe this used to be our go to place. I wonder if the owners eat here? read more

Gone down hill! They must have gotten a new chef. Had a veggie pizza & chicken Francese. The pizza was burnt & dough was like cardboard. Chicken was swimming in too much butter & lemon. Pasta was over cooked. Terrible. Not the same food quality. Very sad. read more

Love Assisi can't go wrong with anything you order from here. I've never had a bad experience and love bringing people here for the first time. Still the best lunch combo menu and price in the area. read more

I had my doubts when a friend recommended this place by saying it was as good as any place in the North End. I'm delighted to report that he was right. We had the Caprese Salad, Butternut Squash Ravioli, and the Lasagna. I would give each one top marks. Everything was so fresh. My husband has been to Italy multiple times and says this was some of the best Italian food he's ever had. He asked to come back here for his birthday! read more

Food was amazing. Seated quickly, even for a Saturday night around 5pm. Just a bit pricey, but well worth the cost.
