Profile

Scattered candles and dishtowel-draped tables echo the Sardinian kitchen’s rustic ways, expressed in dishes like zuppetta of handmade fregola pasta and clams in a spicy tomato broth. All the salads cry out for a livelier vinaigrette, but the branzino is a model of careful cooking, and myrtle perfumes remarkably moist suckling pig alongside fabulous roasted potatoes. And nothing costs more than $24.95. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

A rustic urban experience well worth the money

Assenzio does not overwhelm you with fanciness or fuss; the food is straightforward yet very tasty. Our salads were remarkably fresh with just enough novelty to make them unique and interesting. My lightly breaded and fried sardines served over arugula was a taste treat; the simple, earthy flavor of the fish shone through without excessive artifice. Ragus were quite concentrated and flavorful, with just the right number of ingredients to avoid needless complexity. It was a slow night, allowing incredibly gracious service - - no pushiness, and plenty of patience in explaining the menu. While this is not a fancy place, it is quite comfortable and I found all aspects of the meal noteworthy and correctly priced.

We visited for an early dinner and had a wonderful time. This place has a Sardinian menu and a kind staff. The Sardinian red wine we had was quite nice at under $40 a bottle. The cash only policy could be revised, but this is a cozy place perfect for dinner or a glass of Italian or Sardinian wine and appetizers. The fresh fennel salad was perfect for a start following the cold cuts and cheese. The Wild Boar was wonderful!
