L’assaggino in Kingston upon Thames - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening having read good reviews and it was local/ recently changed hands/name. We had made a reservation and the greeting we received was hostile to say the least. The greeter was clearly irritated that 2 of the party had mobility aids and was trying to rush us, almost causing a fall - not a good start. She was also our server and although we had gotten off to a bad start tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. She was inflexible, with inaccurate answers. One meal was cold and she tried to argue that’s the way it was meant to be. So main courses very disappointing. Desserts a bit better. The same server despite seeing us packing up to leave came and told us she needed our table. Terrible service, not great food and definitely won’t be returning. I’d say avoid no inclusivity here.

What a fantastic find. Truly delicious and authentic Italian (Sardinian) food. The pasta dishes are spectacular and different, the taste sensational. It’s special. Give this place a try it deserves to be very successful

Really authentic cuisine served with expertise and experience. Obviously, a special place for local people.

This was our sixth visit to this authentic Italian restaurant in Kingston. We visit every time we are in London. The food is always good and it’s a plus that the staff has Italian accents. There is a nice deli for lunch and there are some Italian grocery items available as well. The location is about a mile from Kingston town center in a mostly residential area (bus 371 gets you there from the town center).
