My food was finger licking good. The rigatoni was flavorful down to the last bite. Service was great, and the ambience was classy and relaxing. The noise level was average. I did not enjoy the moscato wine, but overall I recommend this restaurant. read more

Sassetta - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Foodie Alert!! I had the pleasure of dining at Sassetta in downtown Dallas, and overall it was a great experience. The atmosphere is chic yet comfortable, perfect for a night out with friends. Our server, Kevin, was very nice and attentive throughout the evening. The only drawback was that it took quite a while for the food and the checks to come out. Still, the staff remained pleasant and accommodating, which made up for the wait. Food Highlights: * We started with a complementary Beef Tartare, it was just ok. * The Arancini were perfectly crispy with a rich, flavorful filling. * The Braised Meatballs were tender and hearty -- definitely a must-order. * The Spaghettini with roasted chicken was cooked al dente, but the lemon was a bit overpowering and the chicken could have used more seasoning. * The Tutti e Tre was a fun way to sample a little bit of everything, and it did not disappoint. Prices were reasonable for the quality and the location, and portions were satisfying without being too heavy. Overall, Sassetta is a lil vibe. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait, and know that a couple of dishes could use small tweaks. read more

Overall this place was fine. The service and severs were absolutely amazing but the food is where I have to dock points. Our food took a while to come out and once it did we were not necessarily impressed by it. It was good but nothing that will blow your mind and also some of the pasta was undercooked. The inside of the place was very nice however. read more

We were seated at the tables near the window, which are pretty small and very close to others. Although it wasn't very busy, it was oddly kind of loud. It took so long to be greeted or even get water that my boyfriend considered walking out. The Sicilian serenade omg it tastes just like a key lime pie, and the tiramisu martini was had a great taste but I could've done with a little less cream on top. The braised meatballs were so flavorful, but the bread to go with it was very dry. The tuna tartare had a great flavor, however I wish it was a bit more chilled and the chips were only okay. As for the pasta dishes my boyfriend really enjoyed his rigatoni and said it had a slight kick to it. I really liked the cacio e pepe, however I could've done without adding the chicken because the chicken didn't really add much to the dish overall. I was so excited to try the olive oil cake, it had great flavor but was kind of dense and dry. Also, something odd was that our server bagged up our leftovers and gave them to us before our dessert came out, which would've been fine if our table wasn't so small that with the dessert the table was incredibly crowded. I wouldn't recommend mostly due to the service, and although the food is good it's just not memorable enough to come back for. read more

Went for brunch. Service was pretty slow, the food came out quite staggered for our 7-top. The cacio e pepe was quite good. The hot honey pizza was good despite it having cooled off by the time everyone was served and we got to eating it and also the fact that there was just the littlest bit of honey on the crust and undetectable anywhere else and it wasn't hot. The room is beautiful, the staff were lovely. It could have used some light music. read more

Sassetta - Beef Short Rib - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I went on a lunch date and it was so good! We were sat immediately and ordered drinks. I can't remember the names but they were both good. We ordered the meatballs for the appetizer and they were amazing. The focaccia bread it comes with was super crispy but soft on the inside. For our entrees, I got the cacio y Pepe with the shrimp and oh my gosh, I've been thinking about it since. This is some of the best pasta I have had ever! I cannot wait to come back here! read more

This was pretty good for a hotel restaurant. Ambience was pretty low key, nothing too memorable or special. The service was really great.

Love that they have a happy hour too! read more

I've tired a variety of dishes from their menu, and my top picks are the whipped ricotta and rigatoni. The rigatoni is creamy with just the right amount of spice--I could easily eat the entire dish! The ricotta is simply perfect; I always request extra bread. I also tried the mushroom pizza a try, and while it was tasty, it doesn't quite top my favorites from the menu. The restaurant is beautiful design and the staff are all friendly and nice. Can't wait to go back again :) read more

Sassetta has lots of options for Italian food, like pasta, pizza, and salads. All of the pasta was so good! I substituted the pappardelle to the lobster spaghetti and it added a smooth texture that contrasted the crunchiness of the pistachios. The red, tomato based sauce had an earthy, nutty flavor. The bolognese and cacio e pepe were also great options as well. The tiramisu was deconstructed with a chocolate mousse alongside a beautiful chocolate and coffee flower cake. It was smooth and sweet with a slight bitterness to it. The flower was edible too! The interior has a bright and modern feel to it with candle lighting to create a soft mood. The servers were super friendly and great but service was on the slower side so it's more of a leisurely dining place. Shoutout to the server who gave us complementary champagne so we could celebrate a friend's promotion! Parking is street parking only which can be hard in the heart of downtown but thankfully they offer complementary two hour valet read more

Came here with a friend for dinner on a Thursday evening. The restaurant is located downtown but there is valet offered (complimentary for 2 hours, $20.00 flat fee if you go over that). You'll most likely go over the 2 hours so plan to pay the fee. We did want to be seated near a window but that didn't happen but nevertheless the customer service (servers) were amazing! Our waiter described the drinks/food perfectly and we ordered various options. For appetizers, we ordered the ricotta montata, gnocco fritto, and cozze al vino bianco (mussels). For drinks, we ordered the melone martini and frozen bellini. We enjoyed these appetizers and drinks but I did have issues with my mussels. I kept biting into tiny pearls and I had to send the meal back. They did remake it but the same issue was there and I couldn't risk cracking my teeth. Outside of that issue, the broth was tasty. For the mains, we both ordered the pasta di agnello alla bolognese. The pasta was cooked perfectly but the sauce wasn't savory as I expected it to be. The aged balsamic overpowered the dish and that's really all I could taste. I definitely wouldn't order this dish again, unfortunately. For dessert, we ordered the olive oil lemon cake and créme fraiche panna cotta. The desserts made for a nice ending and I really enjoyed the panna cotta. Overall, the service was excellent but the food fell a little short on a couple of items. read more

Sad to see some single star reviews for this place because of the food was amazing, and my service was great! I ordered the mussels as an appetizer and the Bolognese as my entrée. They were both delicious and came out quickly. My server and the hostess staff were also very accommodating and the pleasure of my meal. I was supposed to be a party of two, but after my friend canceled, I told them I didn't want to be a bother and sit at the bar. However, the hostesses were so sweet and gave me a table anyway with a view. My only complaint would be that the place was a little pricey. Being from Nashville, I don't mind spending money, but a three figure meal seemed quite a lot when I only had two drinks. read more

I came with a group of 5 and the place was very busy! Our server was pulled in a few directions, so someone else helped us out at times. We ended up getting an incorrect drink, but they just let us keep it and made another. I think everyone in our group enjoyed their food and drinks. read more

I stopped in here with my friend for half price pizza after visiting the eyeboretum across the street and was pleasantly surprised. When we walked in the hostess, Danielle was beautiful and so pleasant. We were seated right away and our server was Jose. He is an amazing young man who also provided some of the best service I've experienced. Now it's one thing to have great service, but i know you want to know if the food was any good. I'm happy to inform that we started with drinks- my friend had scotch neat and was so pleased with her 16 year old scotch that she ordered a second. She had fun chatting about scotch with Jose. I don't drink much alcohol so i was happy to see they had some fun Mocktails on the drink menu (very last page). I tried the passione because im a big fan of all things passionfruit. I wish this was a bit more passionfruit forward- it was pretty heavy on the ginger. The drink was beautiful and def worth trying out. We shared the salsiccia de pollo pizza with calabrian chili oil. Its a chicken sausage pizza with fontina, mozzarella, roasted peppers, Calabrian honey and onion fritto.it was so good. Definitely get it with the chili oil. I wished we had more room so we could try more things but we'll definitely have to come back! This is apparently a newly rolled out spring menu. Love it. We decided to spring for dessert and shared the tiramisu entremet- it was soooo good! I don't even like coffee so i don't usually live tiramisu things. The entremet itself was very light coffee flavor and so silky and delicious. It was served with a coffee crumble, coffee gelato and a marsala cream. It was heavenly. Would also love to try the creme fraiche panna cotta. It sounds delightful! The ambiance of this place is lovely. I love the big window looking out into downtown. The waiters have interesting aprons with beige outfits. My friend said the aprons remind her of home depot. They are much nicer but i thought it was funny. Loved everything about this place. Several others stopped by our table and they were all delightful. read more

The good: Easy to get a reservation, very friendly service. Excellent rigatoni and salad. The bathroom hand soap smells really good. The bad: skimpy wine pours, very over priced for what it is, small portions, long wait times. Food took over an hour to come out. They ran out of lobster for the lobster spaghetti and swapped in shrimp. No problem, but they charged the lobster price. read more

Sassetta was on my list for a long time and I'm happy I stopped by. We initially got there for a late lunch but ended up doing an early dinner. We were seated quickly and the hostess was friendly. Sassetta is a really beautiful space and I enjoyed sitting by the window for the views of downtown. Our server was great! Super engaging and gave us great recommendations for wine pairings. I ordered the gnocchi and was pleasantly surprised, it was super tasty. Also the focaccia and olive oil was so good! For our 1st time visit everything was great! Cant wait to come back! read more

We had a wonderful evening at Sassetta. The climate was cold in anticipation of the crown that didn't arrive on this Friday night. Service was impressive and outstanding. The tempura squash blossom was a delight with a bit from the spicy mayo and finished off with a small pickled onion ring. The pollo pizza had a touch of honey that complimented the chicken sausage. The Parpadelle was undercooked yet the ground lamb as impressive which was difficult to make an opinion. Overall, this was a wonderful evening with such attentive and friendly service throughout the evening. read more

The lunch special here was great! The portions were really generous and the chopped salad was delicious. We ate here twice on our trip.

Amazing service and the pasta was unbelievable! Went for a quick bite after shopping and loved it. I would highly recommend.

This review is for January 30th. I live seven minutes down the street, and never once paid attention to this place let alone the hotel connected to it. They offered a very generous lunch special that my friend and I took advantage of. I ordered the brut Rosè along with the gem Caesar salad and burnt honey pizza (I ordered a side of pepperoni, not pictured, forgetting to ask the server to add pepperoni to it). Everything was extremely tasty. The salad was a very nice portion and made well as well as the burnt honey pizza. I will honestly say with the vibe of the restaurant as well as our server, and the food, everything deserves five stars. I'll have to return alone to try other items on their list. They certainly have a repeat customer. read more

Used to come here all the time before they moved, back when they were in the design district. It was a nice big open space with outdoor seating even before the pandemic.

I was pleasantly surprised because hotel food tends to be made, but this was really delicious. The Cacio and Pepe had a delicious lemon zest that I had never tasted before, and it really made it stand out. I definitely go again. read more

Sassetta was a conveniently located restaurant close to the hotel we were staying at. They were kind enough to fit in our party of 15 for a Saturday night dinner in a semi private area with only a few hour's notice. Our waiter was excellent. He was very attentive, personable and gave some great recommendations. We ordered four pizzas for our table and some appetizers to start. We had the whipped ricotta, salami plate and Tuna Tartar. The tuna was by far my favorite and the best appetizer. The pizzas were good, I preferred the Italian sausage over the pepperoni. The Burnt honey is an acquired taste. The salty cheese with the mildly sweet honey was not something I would choose again. The appetizers are mostly small plates meant for 2-3 adults, so plan accordingly. The pizzas were larger and would easily serve 3-4 adults as a meal. For dinner we had the duck Cavatelli which was good but not spectacular. The portion sizes are reasonable for a single serving size. Italian restaurant serving sizes can vary from single serve to family style, so if you are planning to share, just get your own dish. For desert we share an interesting chocolate covered tiramisu. The wines were very delicious with some unique decanters. The restaurant was modern with minimalistic decor and very clean appearance. It was nice and quiet and perfect for a date night, or a company dinner. read more

We decided to celebrate our 25th anniversary at The Joule, including dinner at Sassetta. And it was a perfect celebration! The service was fabulous! Audrey addressed our every question, and worked hard to make sure we had the perfect experience. The Filet Mignon was the winner of the night! It was so tender! It has set the standard for what I hope my meat to be! We loved the chopped salad (one was enough for both of us). And that whipped ricotta is to die for! After dinner, I had the lemon cake (fabulous) and my husband enjoyed the Tiramisu. Heidi, the manager, came by several times to make sure everything was perfect! And it was! Well done Sassetta! read more

My wife and I live in Dallas and often times go here to sit at the bar. It has great food and atmosphere.

I've been meaning to write this review for a while. Sassetta is a hidden gem of all things yummy! The service is incredible from start to finish. Not too in your face but attentive enough when you need them. The waitstaff always makes the best recommendations for drinks and food. I love that their food is aesthetically pleasing and appealing while being delicious to boot. The Cin Cin is an excellent drink with a strawberry foam on top. I also recommend the tuna tartare and the catch of the day! The restaurant is inside of the Joule Hotel and is very classy yet not very busy which I like. No seat (or dish for that matter) is a bad one! read more

We have heard amazing things about this restaurant and decided to check it out. We had an 8 pm reservation but our table wasn't ready until 8:15 so we stopped by the bar to wait. Amazing cocktails and great staff. Caroline was our waitress and she was attentive and warm. She really made the meal great. We started with the fall burrata which was delicious and then had the blue cheese sweet potato. These were our favorite dishes of the night. Our last two dishes were the duck bolognese and the crab pasta. While the bolognese was tasty, it tasted more like beef than duck. The crab pasta was so lemony that it was hard to find eat. Overall, we had a nice evening with a few hiccups. read more

There's a lot of things to unpack here, let's start with parking they do have complimentary valet from the Joule covered for 2 hours and there's also street parking since it's located across the street from the Eye. When you walk in the hostess will take to your table, last night which was Thursday night at 6 pm the place was empty, however we did not get the window table at first I thought it might be due to waiters zoning but then a couple walked in right behind us and were seated near the window so I'm not sure how that was decided but it felt a little racial to me but let's not go there. When it comes to service it is absolutely phenomenal, very attentive and efficient, drinks were good, appetizers are bland to my taste but it's also Italian cuisine which is not famous for their spices, overall this review is mostly for food, it is not impressive I specifically ordered multiple items from a menu to give it a good judgement. They do use aged balsamic sauce as a base for pasta Bolognese and it makes it sour, which is definitely not my favorite choice of flavor. Desserts are good as well. I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Sad to say that the reviews on here are accurate. Had dinner here last night. Service was friendly but exceedingly slow. From receiving our first drinks (twenty minutes after being seated), to actually getting our order taken (40 minutes from being seated), to actually getting the appetizer (one hour after being seated). Two hours of valet is included with your visit, but as you can see, the two hours will likely burn fast if you're planning to have a three course meal, and then it is $20 after that. Good luck speed eating. We ordered the steak tartare which was a tiny scoop of beef served aside a massive warm flatbread (essentially the pizza crust, but griddled). The steak tartare was fine, absolutely not notable in the least. The two tables next to us both ordered the cacio di pepe bucatini dish, and both left their plates pretty intact. The dish looked incredibly dry and not flavorful. We ordered the lobster fra diavola, which was very sparing with the lobster (maybe a few chunks intermixed with the pasta). The pasta itself was nice and chewy, but the sauce was fairly tart, but otherwise fine. The value is not, at $32, since the portions here are small, and the flavors unimpressive. We also ordered the pepperoni pizza with smoked mozzarella. It was completely overcooked so that it tasted mostly like carbon and salt. All in all, an incredibly overpriced and underwhelming meal. Avoid and eat anywhere else! read more

A group of 10 of us went to dinner for a friend's birthday. I can honestly say the cheapest thing on the dinner menu was pizza. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and the Italian pizza. They were both delicious. We also ordered the appetizer. Italian meat balls and the meat tray. The meatballs were delicious and were served with bread to scoop the sauce up with. the meet tray came with crackers it was delicious also. A few people at the lobster spaghetti, it was lacking on the lobster. The water was a nice gesture, but is is served without ice and wasn't the most pleasant taste. The service was really good. The restaurant was very nice and accommodating. The only downside for me was the placing all of the food on one ticket. I know that the policy is they will only split it 4 times (I don't understand that) but ask us before you print the receipt to save from having to go back a second time. Overall this is rather pricey, serving sizes are ok. I wish the water came with ice. I probably will not go back with a large crowd. The location is nice. located inside a hotel. read more

The restaurant is also stunning with gorgeous interiors and a fabulous ambience. The food was equally impressive and we loved everything we ordered. The caesar salad was the best I've had, and the pasta and pizza were both amazing as well. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Sassetta to anyone! read more

We started off with their meatball appetizer. We really enjoyed it and thought the meatball with the whipped ricotta and sourdough was such a great combination. The pizza was very disappointing. The bottom of it was soggy and the smell each time we took a bite was off putting (it was a weird burnt smell, not like a yummy brick oven pizza smell). The Lobster Fra Diavolo dish was okay. I don't have much to say about it. The ambience was 10/10. The restaurant is very pretty and romantic. I loved where we sat because we got views of the inside and outside. Our waitress was nice and attentive. The manager was going around the tables to check in with everyone, which I thought was nice. We utilized their complimentary valet. In short: the food was "meh", inside of the restaurant is really pretty and staff is nice. read more

The old sassetta was one of my favorite restaurants. When they closed, I was super bummed. I was very excited to see it would be in my favorite hotel, the joule. It is a very pretty spot for sure. Their wine selection and glasses are just sexy. The staff we met were all very nice, however, our service wasn't great. Our server came by only a few times to take our order and then to ask if we wanted the bill. At no time did she fill our waters, fill our wine glasses, bus dishes/ silverware or check on us. I guess it's the old fashioned part of me that wants someone to fill the wine glass. It's appropriate for a restaurant that's supposed to be of this caliber. And if we ask the server if there is a sommelier, I'd prefer not to hear that they can give us recommendations unless they actually do really know the wine list. The beef tartare was very disappointing. There was less than a small palmful of actual meat, with a super large piece of bread. It didn't make sense. It also needed an acid. The meatball appetizer was good. The pizza also was OK. The star of the show was the ricotta agnolloti. Now the pasta did not come out hot. It was lukewarm. Lucky for them, the flavor was so amazing that the temperature is forgiven. That was a darn good pasta. I drive very far to go to dinner. I likely won't be back unless I'm staying at the joule. I honestly was a bit bummed by the experience. read more

I had been to the old location of Sassetta a number of times and was a big fan. After reading the mixed reviews of this location, I came into our dinner skeptical but still hoping the quality of food would present like I'd experienced before. We had a party of four and dined at 6:30pm on a Saturday. The semi-new (almost a year in) restaurant in the Joule is beautifully decorated and a classy, upscale yet trendy feel. We had no problem getting a reservation, but the restaurant did get somewhat crowded closer to 7:30/8. The first and main negative driving a loss of star is that the service is as slow as many reviews have claimed. We had two waiters, both extremely friendly, but were slow to take our orders and left water glasses empty for too long. Our dinner ended up taking just shy of 3 hours for drinks, appetizers, meals and no dessert. For food, overall still very impressed as I had hoped. We had the meatballs, Italian sausage pizza, rigatoni and gnocchi. The meatballs had good flavor, but were cold and quite small for the price. The Italian sausage pizza was fantastic, and the rigatoni ever better - highly, highly recommend these dishes. We all ordered a side of chicken with the rigatoni. The gnocchi was alright, but was also cold and not near as delicious and flavorful as the rigatoni. Overall, our experience was a 7.5 out of 10 (about 4 stars). Great food for the most part, slow service but with expectations set it will be a good experience. read more
