Sasso in Cheshire East

The best Italian restaurant in town! Tried a wide variety of dishes and they are all delicious. The service from Erion & Rigi is so attentive and friendly. They always go above and beyond, making every visit truly special.

Beautiful place. Had a great evening but Filleto Rossini, which should be a spectacular meal, was disappointing: steak was very nice but the other elements not great.

Best meal I've had in years. Very filling with nice portion sizes and lovely staff who make sure you have everything you need. Will be returning, lovely atmosphere.

Extremely unorganised on valentines day. The restaurant was over booked and staff were not even checking whether people actually had bookings in the first place! This resulted in a 40 minute wait to be sat down. There’s no excuse for this, all they had to do was not make as many reservations! Not rocket science really. To add to this, there was no clearly organised queue, meaning that people were confused and there were just a huddle of people at the top of the stairs. This resulted in people not being sat down in the order they arrived or sat down based on any reservation timings. Like I said, they didn’t even check if we actually had a reservation! Once we finally sat down, we discovered that the menu was also extremely limited! It was a special valentines day menu. This would have been OK if we were informed about this in advance and could maybe look at the menu before making a decision whether to even go there. There was no Pizza at all, there was no typical pasta (only fish or beef ravioli), not what you expect when you go to an Italian restaurant. I would never have gone in the first place if I knew that 90% of the normal menu wasn’t available. Overall, we were really disappointed, this was my first time and last time going to Sasso.

Lovely environment and pleasant atmosphere but only given the choice of the limited and overpriced Valentine's menu (day after Valentine's Day). We were not advised when booking several weeks before that only the Valentine's menu would be available. My friend's gluten free options were extremely limited. Overpriced and overrated. Sadly, will not bother again.

We arrived just before 7pm and it was crowded in the bar area with people waiting for tables so we got a drink and joined the chaos - no order, no queue just people standing so we assumed someone would shout table booking names out to ensure people got seated as per their booking time. How wrong I was! 7.43pm we were finally seated - because the maître d' seemed to have zero system in place nor respect for booking times and was just picking people he liked the look of it would seem. 8 couples were seated before us, all of which had told us they weren’t booked in until 7.30! At this point I had spoken to the maître d' and another member of staff twice to advise our booking was for 7pm and both times I was greeted with a smile and then they would pluck another couple from behind us that had arrived after us. It was a really, really poor start to our night and we were so hungry. So, so hungry. So hungry….. imagine our disappointment when we were finally seated to see a reduced menu! No mention of this on the website or social media or on OpenTable. Not only was the menu reduced it was pathetic, and I heard several other diners complaining around us of the same nature. Nothing on the menu was appealing to me so I opted for the Fillet. Being a steak connoisseur I was excited as a fillet can never be a bad option and I loveeeee steak. So in my 16 years of eating steak in restaurants, I’ve officially found the worst. It was chewy, bland and cold. The chips were anemic - my partners were over cooked. It was impossible to get a member of staffs attention to send it back, I waited around 15 minutes to get someone’s attention but by the time someone came over to check I just wanted to eat up and leave so I picked at the chips, left the steak and waited for the plates to be cleared so I could raise my complaint…. 25 minutes after finishing our plates were finally cleared. I raised my complaint and was met with ‘oh well we’ve sold loads of steak tonight and not had any complaints but I’ll tell the chef’.. great, no offer of a replacement or something to fill my absolutely empty stomach at this point (now 9.15pm). We asked for the bill, paid up and left. Left in such a rush we didn’t realise we’d paid a service charge!!!!!!!!! For what service?! Our night was ruined, I was starving so we agreed to call it a night and go home - our original plan was to go for a few drinks after as we don’t ever get time together due to our jobs and last night was our only opportunity having both finally got a night off to spend time together and it was ruined because you decided to over-stuff your restaurant, under deliver with the offerings and not provide any recompense for the poor experience. Judging by other reviews, I can see I wasn’t the only person who felt this way. You should refund those who have raised complaints and take this as a learning curve - limit your couverts, honour table bookings, so not prioritise walk ins (not once was our name taken to see if we had booked) and stop being greedy.

Had a reservation but was met with a queue out of the door front door and right up the entrance stairs into the restaurant. Took over 30 mins to be seated amid the chaos of the staff running around trying to keep up with the overcrowded restaurant. Wish I could have rated the food but we left before service as once finally seated no one bothered to come and take our drink order let our alone food choices! To be honest, the decor looks great and could deliver so much but the greed of overbooking has left the experience lacking in all categories! Won’t return and would encourage others to think twice before booking.

Really disappointing overall, took 15 minutes to be sat to a table (after being taken to a table just to find another couple already sat on it). Service was a massive let-down, after 40 minutes of being sat at the table we had not been asked our drinks order. Our starter arrived after over an hour of being a sat, which was simply put, a burnt garlic bread with sliced tomato on it. Mains were disappointing, even more so after waiting 1.5hrs for them to arrive, same sort of food that would be in a microwave meal. Overall, an obvious overbooking, unprepared staff and a clear money-grab attempt from the management taking advantage of Valentines day. Do not recommend, avoid.

The restaurant was very busy (Valentines evening)with a long queue to be seated (45 minute wait) but demonstrates how popular it is. The staff were very friendly although pressured to try and deal with everyone. The food was very good although there were long gaps between courses. This didn't bother us too much as we were in no rush. We enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere which, even though the restaurant was full, was so loud that we couldn't have a conversation.

We’ve been to this restaurant many times before, but after our experience on Valentine’s Day, we’re not sure we’ll be returning. The evening was completely disorganised from the start. When we arrived, the queue was nearly out of the door, and despite waiting patiently, no staff member acknowledged us or asked for our booking details. Instead, people were just standing around, confused about what to do. After waiting for a while, we asked a waitress for help, and she assured us she’d be back—but we never saw her again. Meanwhile, random customers were being seated with no clear system in place. Once people started realising there was no structure, they began forming a queue themselves to show who was next, yet even then, staff continued to take people out of order. By the time we were finally seated—40 minutes after our booking time—it only happened because other customers were kind enough to point out that we had arrived before them. The waiter’s excuse was that he “recognised” them, which made no sense. At no point did anyone apologise for the delay or attempt to communicate what was happening. To make matters worse, we were unaware there was a set menu with very limited options. While the food itself was nice, the service was abysmal. They even tried to add a service charge, which we requested to be removed. For such a chaotic experience, you’d expect at least a small goodwill gesture—perhaps a complimentary Prosecco—but there was nothing. People were visibly frustrated, walking out and complaining, and it was clear the restaurant had overbooked and couldn’t manage the demand. We’ve always said great things about this restaurant , but after this disaster of an evening, we’re seriously reconsidering whether we’ll return.

We booked a table for Valentine’s Day weeks in advance for 7:30pm. We arrived on time to see a queue going from upstairs to nearly outside. There was no communication from any staff members at all about how long we would be waiting or any apologies for the wait. After nearly an hour, we were seated at our table which was a tiny table shoved in the corner facing a wall. After looking at the menu prior to coming, me and my partner had decided on what we wanted - it was then we were told they had none of these (any pizza or carbonara!!) and were handed a tiny set menu with nothing we fancied. We both chose the steak, which we ordered with a waiter and 10 mins after another waiter came and said the other one forgot to put it through! The steak was bang average and the chips were not great at all for the price, was still hungry after. I took the service charge off for the first time in my life, we were planning on staying the whole 2 hours but ended up staying around just under an hour it was that bad and going somewhere else for some drinks after. We felt rushed and there was huge queues right next to us whilst we were eating - I am not normally too fussy and have never left a review but will 100% not be returning even though i heard good things about this place.

Having not been to Sasso since the re-furb, and a couple of years prior to that where we had found the food average at best, we plumped to try the restaurant again on Valentines evening 2025. Something wasn't quite right when we arrived for our 20.30pm booking, as scores of groups and couples were queuing on the stairs, all on the ground floor with said queue building behind us out the front door. Communication was non existent with no maître d' or other member of staff coming to apologise for the wait or advise how long the delay would be. When we reached the queue of people on the first floor, a couple were being seated who had an earlier reservation than us at 8pm - they were seated at 8.45pm. Bar staff were obviously rushed off their feet, but there was no engagement from anyone to offer us a drink, paid for or otherwise while we wait. It was also disappointing to see cocktail puree / mix being poured out of a pre-mixed bag given the prices, something you wouldn't normally catch seated in the restaurant. We decided to give up on our reservation, with the view if service and communication was poor before even being seated, this would long continue into any meal and we would be left with slim pickings from the menu. There's no denying the re-furb is beautiful, the restaurant / chain are obviously trying to portray a more upmarket feel (and some of the prices reflect that) but this experience was anything but. I appreciate it was a busy evening, and potentially maybe something had happened E.g staff sickness but to have zero communication and sense of arrogance is unacceptable and below par. What a contrast, to Mr Chongs over the road who managed to squeeze us in at short notice, and even apologised for the wait while they made us up a table! My score is based on this experience and previous findings of the food not being anything significantly better than average. Save your time and try the excellent independent independent Italian restaurants in the area - Osteria Sapori in Whaley Bridge and Colosseo in Hayfield where the food, service and ambience are a country mile ahead.

Me and my partner usually come to this restaurant as the food is always amazing, the service is great and overall a lovely Italian. Unfortunately, on valentines we mistakenly booked a table. This was a disappointment from the start. There was a queue out of the door, there was no system as to who arrived or booked first. It was a free for all! After 45 minutes we were crammed onto a small table. We had to ask for menus after 10 minutes. It then took another 10 minutes for a server to come over and take our drinks order. We were shocked to see it was actually a set menu, luckily there was food on the menu we would both eat but I think it’s appalling we were not informed of this, I checked the website and could not see anywhere that stated it was a set menu. It took around 30/40 minutes to eventually order both drinks and food. Surprisingly both drinks and food came out within under 10 minutes, which is either a good or bad sign - who knows! It is such a shame that so many people had booked and thought they would have a romantic meal out. I did feel for the staff as this was not there fault, all staff seemed very stressed, I presume it would be higher management that has made the decision to be greedy and over book. However, no apology was given to us or even an explanation on why this has happened. It’s not rocket science to work out what has caused the chaos but to completely ignore the situation made it feel worse. Very disappointing.

Fabulous food, great service and very friendly and attentive staff.

Ended up walking out, Over 45 minutes queuing on the stairs. Finally got to the table and no one served us so we had to leave, can’t comment on the food as we didn’t have the option to order. I could imagine it will be like that every weekend! It was valentines night so I assume extra busy but no excuse, unfortunately we will never return! It was so unorganised, probably the worst restaurant / service I have ever received!

What a beautiful makeover, can't get better than sasso! Foods always great, drinks great & service is very friendly & attentive

On entry has quite a good wow factor. However, once seated not much space between tables and service was a little slow. Food was okay but overpriced and 10% service charge added to bill which we asked to be removed. Wont be rushing back....

Beautiful restaurant and attentive staff who sadly had no concept of how food should be served. Our food was served cold and on a cold plate, plus bacon on a vegetarian meal...... One meal went back three times before they got it right, mine took two attempts to get it right. The staff didn't seem bothered that the food was cold and couldn't understand why you'd serve food on a warm plate. The food, once it was prepared correctly was nice. I was very surprised to see a 10% service charge on the bill after all the problems with the food, I asked for this to be taken off the bill which it was. I explained how disappointing the evening was as it was my friend's birthday. After paying the bill a portion of Tiramisu with a candle was brought out whilst the staff sang happy birthday, which was a nice gesture, just lacked spoons which arrived afterwards.

We couldn't wait to go back and try Sasso after their refurbishment. We last went about 8 years, so I was excited to go back, and it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, they were very busy, but we sat down straight away and served in a good, timely manner. Great service, friendly staff, and food were amazing. I had scallops to start and pulled beef ravioli for my main and both delicious. Didn't need any side dishes. Staff were very busy but did exactly what they were supposed to, and it ran like clockwork. It's a great restaurant, and we will be back. See you soon x 🙂

We had a wonderful visit...the food, service & ambience were fab!! We'll definitely be back xxx

Having dined here since the days it was known as Conti, my wife and I had both looked forward to an evening reservation in Sasso after their recent refurbishment. Sadly it was a disappointment from the beginning! Staff greeted us with remarks that they were very busy and would not be sure when our 19.30 reservation would be available. There was an offer to stand at a packed out small bar, noting that the previously provided guest seating had been removed during the refurbishment. We were very nearly to leave and find another restaurant when the manager seated us. Strangely the manager who seated us played off that his team were 'jokingly' saying they couldn't guarantee a reserved table time! Had a different approach been taken then we would have not been considering leaving and going elsewhere. The refurbishment looks good and the food still lovely, however the place has been packed out with tables to the point there is little space for staff and customers to move about. This change has all led to a chaotic experience and a poor show on ambience, in comparison to the many family meals and celebrations of the past we have enjoyed at this restaurant. Sadly, the service experience was also disorientated with our meals first being served to other diners and the meals of others being served to our table first in error. There didn’t appear to be any single waiter taking responsibility to look after each table either, which is often the best way to create a personal sense of hospitality. When we were served our main meals the waiter didn’t offer to order more drinks or take away our empty glasses. We chose to leave after our mains in favor of desserts, cocktails and wine elsewhere. The manager did see our poor experience and make an apology when we left, with the justification of it being a busy night. I dont think there was much he could have done to avoid the shortcomings of our experience and could also see other diners were seeing similar issues. In my opinion the place has taken on far too many tables for the space available, which could continue to impact the reputation of this very popular restaurant. Hopefully its just teething problems and potentially a new staff team finding their feet. Its rare that my wife and I manage an evening out together and with a long awaited evening ending in disappointment, we will be in two minds about choosing Sasso when the opportunity next arises for a date evening out.

Booked a table for 4 adults on our first visit after refurbishment. Very impressive decor and prompt service at the table. In terms of the menu the seafood risotto was lacking a little taste and there was no risotto for vegetarians. The big disappointment was the fillet steak which was average and for £34 it was very disappointing and overpriced. Overall a good experience let down by certain aspects in the menu and the steak.

We've been going to this restaurant for many many years, and have obviously enjoyed the food and ambience. It was our first visit since it reopened after the refurbishment, and I must say I was underwhelmed. The staff have changed, and although friendly, we didn't feel as welcome as we had previously- but this is a minor issue compared to the new menu. Sasso used to be very good value for money, and although it had become expensive prior to the refurbishment, I thought that today's prices didn't match up to the quality of the food served. Portions were generous, but the food was very bland - not what you expect from Italian food - and the menu included some new and at first glance, interesting options, it did however miss a number of my favourites from the old menu. There was no calzone pizza, no cannelloni and no chicken pasta dishes at all. We all chose something new from the menu and everyone found it bland, and everyone said that they wouldn't have the same meal again! I must say that the renovation is a huge improvement, and although the ambience wasn't great in the corner we were seated, the old conservatory area looked fabulous, and was certainly buzzing. I will not be coming back, which is a shame after 10+ years, but there are better Italian restaurants in the area which offer better value and certainly more flavoursome food.

A beautiful restraunt, we went there as a family of 14 for a gathering and the service was incredible. Would highly recommend for groups, the atmosphere was lovely. The food was of mixed quality, everyone agreed the starters were all delicious, however people who had steaks for main were less impressed, as it had many streaks of fat in it. The carbonara was perfectly done, and so was other mains. The steaks were most likely an issue with the supplier, not the restaurant. For desert I would recommend any of the gelato as that was very nice, but not the cheesecake.. that didn't go down so well. Overall, it was a lovely restaurant (albeit expensive) with mixed quality food, some absolutely wonderful, some not so.

I chose the steak and wanted vegetables. However all veg on offer were fried, in a sauce or with butter. No adjustments were offered so had to settle for a side salad which was very disappointing. Overall disappointing and expensive.

We went yesterday for Xmas dinner 25/12/2024 Sitting 3.30 pm The food was terrible and the waiters the same, also the manager . The Xmas dinner came out as the meat, then a whole plate of slop, we couldn't differentiate potatoes from parsnips and the veg wasn't even there, remainders of what the last dinners had been served previously I guess, the waitress said 'sorry we've ran out of veg " and walked off ....can you believe ?? On speaking to the manager he said it's Xmas and we're unindated with people .. I swear the worst everything I have experienced, no care, no professional manner, just oh well it's Xmas . The dessert (rum ba ba )no rum to be seen , the sponge was a rock 🪨 and had squirty cream in the middle ...tough as old boots I swear .. we hardly touched a thing . The manager made us pay and took one bottle of wine off the bill ..the dinner was £75, the worst experience of my life.

Food was expensive and mediocre, service was pretty good and the decor is great. Not a great choice for allergen suffers. Cibo in Wilmslow or Hale is better.

Can't fault the service, spot on, attentive. Food, just average. I tasted a variety of meals around our large family table, and many sauces lacked any depth and seasoning. My friend ate a £27 salmon dish and it was on a pea puree that tasted of barely anything. Small salmon, pea puree and some roasted new potatoes, £27.!!!. I ate seafood risotto and it was OK, bit basic for a supposedly proper Italian. Carbonara was average too. Pizza was poor. I arrived at 6pm, didn't get my main until 730pm Underwhelmed.

Absolutely faultless. Party of 9 attended our Christmas Party last night (12/12) and everyone enjoyed themselves. My fillet steak was cooked to perfection, and others enjoyed their meals also. The decor is stunning and the service was very good from all waiting on. We hope to be back again. Many thanks to all at Sasso for an enjoyable evening.

The refurbishment is stunning and the new menu is very varied .Our table of 4 all enjoyed their starters and mains, absolutely delicious.The service was good as always.We will be back!

Lovely restaurant with beautiful decor and nice atmosphere 👌

The service and the food was amazing we came from far away but we would definitely come back !!!

The place is really pretty with an amazing glass stair case the staff are really nice. The so n side I had the Luigi marinara not good it was so so strong tasting and not in a pleasant way.

Popped in on a very rare date night out. They accommodated us and seated us quickly which we were pleased with. The food was ok but very expensive. I feel the mains of chicken on a creamy garlic sauce and rib eye steak were underwhelming and lacking a side of veg. For the price we expected much better. Sadly we won't be returning as locally there are better places to eat. We were disappointed as previously Sasso used to be so much better!

My absolute favourite restaurant. Food, service and atmosphere always fantastic. We go here for special family occasions. My kids have always come with me and the staff are so good with them.

Lemon sole is highly recommended, as well the panna cotta. The risotto was equally good but service was a bit slow

I always have a great experience when I go to Sasso's, a lovely place.

Dreadful service , waiters removing people’s plates whilst others still eating . Waited over an hour for food . The food was delicious !!

Nice food and beautiful surroundings, drinks were really nice too - cocktails were good. There was a bit of a wait when we arrive despite booking a table. Food prices were high, quality was good but a few things not perfect. The staff were friendly and helpful but it was busy and hard to get their attention at times. Lobster ravioli was OK, not the best I've had but really nice, the pistachio cheesecake was very nice but the ice cream was the best part of the dish.

We had a fantastic meal here quite by accident, and what a happy accident it was. The food was great, the staff were welcoming & friendly without being too much or inauthentic, and the atmosphere was very nice.

Visited in March for the 1st time for my 60th birthday, just my partner and i went last night, it was fabulous, service fantastic, food was awesome. Great restaurant and we will be going back very soon 5*

Absolutely excellent! We stayed the night in Disley and hadn't really planned where to eat. It turns out that was a stroke of genius on our part because we found this place. The atmosphere was great. The decor is great. The staff are friendly without being inauthentic and "too much". The food was throughly delicious and fairly priced for the high quality. All in all, we had a great time! We're very glad we got a table here.

Wow, that’s the best Italian restaurant we’re been so far.Great atmosphere,tasty food, professional and friendly staff.We will definitely come back .Recommend it 100%♥️

Came here for a leaving doo and could not fault anything. The service and the food was delightful. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and you'd think you were in the middle of Spinningfields in Manchester. The portions were very generous and the wine and cocktails were simply stunning. 100% recommend; thank you for hosting us, we will most definitely be back.

What a beautiful place.... We stumbled across this restaurant and goodness what a wonderful experience. The service staff were smart, attentive and provided the perfect experience. Food and drinks were fabulous and we loved the ambience ❤️

Best Italian in the area / south Manchester / Manchester, awesome. Make sure you get Erion his service is amazing!

Great food and atmosphere, not the cheapest bit you get what you pay for,if you want a great meal and great service definitely worth trying.

Absolutely loved it here, the food was outstanding. Lovely venue with great staff. Definitely recommend it here, I will be going again 😘👌

Well can’t believe we have never been here before… but well worth the wait What an absolutely beautiful restaurant Food was amazing and the venue is stunning Staff all soo lovely and friendly thank you Can’t wait to go back ♥️

Visited Sasso for the first time as we were visiting friends that live near by, food was fabulous, presented beautifully and tasted as good. Exceptionally friendly staff, great banter about Manchester football teams, especially the lovely young man from Moston 🤪 Beautiful decor and a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend Sasso and hope to see you again soon 😘

My first visit here but my partners second. Absolutely loved it. Service was exceptional so a huge thanks to Erion who looked after us both and was the perfect waiter. He had great recommendations,(the Tiramisu was divine), great confidence and personality. Hes a credit to the team here and a perfect reason to come back just for his exceptional service. We shared the Spinach Tortellini, Lasagne, Garlic Bread with Mozzarella and Olives for our meal. Every dish was delicious. We will 100% be back.

So many friends raved about this restaurant that we had to go and try it. I left disappointed. Restaurant nicely decorated but tables packed together. Food very good but not exceptional. I prefer San Carlos. The service was not as it used to be at the original Sassos. It’s lost the personal touch . The young waiter who served us was almost robotic and kept pressing us to order. Watch with the wine if buying by the glass! 2 prices on the menu. Unless you specify what size you want it’s an automatic upsell to large. When challenged as to why the staff don’t check the size the response was everyone drinks large round here, it’s up to you to specify. The attitude left rather a bad taste. In summary. Very expensive for what’s a just above borderline average restaurant with a “chain restaurant” approach to service. It definitely has no personal touch.

If you want an average, very expensive meal, served by brusque waiters then go there. Otherwise don't bother! Very disappointed with the meal and the service.

Wow. This place has seriously gone down hill since I’ve lived in the village. The food was atrocious. The spaghetti bolognaise sauce was literally bright orange and looked like it was nuclear, hardly any meat and cost £14. Half a pint of draught lager was £4. We had to wait on the stairs for 15 mins before we were seated. Obviously when they bricked up the kitchen they were hiding something. Yep. actually hiding the fact that they now don’t cook like they used to and when they do cook it’s very cheap ingredients and food. Never again. I can’t even give it one star it was that bad but I had to give it one as it wouldn’t let me post.

Food was lacking dynamics and taste. The food was served tepid in temperature and would of benefitted from heating the plates. The food was very much a chain experience! The service was to quick….. meaning the food was sat in readiness and not prepared to ordered. The restaurant was presented to a high standard of Christening decoration. It’s a shame the meal did not meet the standards of the decorations

Went for the first time in 5 years on New Year's Eve, even though it was busy, the service was fantastic, food was exceptional and the atmosphere was fizzing. We'll definitely be going back!

Stunning restaurant, fantastic food , highly recommended 👌

Visited twice now. The food and service were exceptional on both occasions. The waiters picked up on the kids names & interacted with them a lot which was appreciated. We were aware the service charge which I personally frown upon, us UK folks like to set the tip ourselves. That said it’s optional and secondly I thought worth every penny for the service. The décor is lovely throughout and the place is kept well - It has A lovely ambiance.

Ate here on New Year's Eve. Welcoming and fun atmosphere from the start. Staff and managers so friendly and great with the little one. Food was lovely Italian classics, including seafood Linguine which was fantastic. Thoroughly recommend this place. Enjoy 👍👍👍👍👍

Great service and food . We were guests so not paying but best time since last time we went . Hats off brilliant xxx

Exceptional quality food, service a little slow but to be expected with all the Christmas diners.

I have been to Sasso many times and had some great times there with many family meals , however there seems to be a bit of a sea change and the object of the evening is to get you in and out as fast as possible . None stop mithering our group to order, despite our friends only just siting down and not even looked at the menu yet .. constant returning to our table to move us along. The food was sadly average at best on this occasion , The strawberry cheesecake was like rubber . We spent over £200 for 4 of us and felt the staff over our shoulder the whole time. We left and went for more drinks elsewhere rather than buy another bottle of wine at sasso as the joy of the evening had been slightly tinged with the rushing ... I don't think i will rush to come back for a while ..

Nice place. Never a HUGE fan of Italian always think expensive for very cheap basic ingredients. But Sasso does it well. Lovely decor, friendly staff. Nice overall experience

Nice to get back there. Good things never change

Fabulous Italian restaurant in the heart of Disley village. The surroundings are absolutely stunning from the moment we walked through the door. The food and service is just as impressive. Our waitress was Georgiana who was very welcoming and friendly helping us make this a very memorable occasion. Overall we loved the experience and will certainly make this a regular visit.

Lovely food , very rude waiter , he was more angry when we refused to pay the 10% tip added to the bill. I feel a tip is for good service not to be added to the price of your food and drink

Food,atmosphere and service absolutely spot on!

The food is brilliant but the service doesn’t match unfortunately. The staff brought the food out perfect but it’s not America and didn’t realise we payed a fortune in tips before giving a tip on top and had no thanks for it or appreciation for it.

The food was incredible - great value and so much choice. We popped in last minute and they accommodated us which was really appreciated! Would recommend the mussels and squid starter, lobster ravioli and sea bass pasta. The only downside is that the outside door doesn’t automatically close so whenever people came in there was a draft, not ideal for a cold November evening! But overall, lovely place to celebrate our anniversary

Wow! Just wow! 🤩 The food is to die for the ambiance superb the staff incredible! I'm definitely booking for my birthday in January! Joanna in particular the lovely greek lady made our night even more special! Congratulations to the owner of this I credible restaurant! Grazie mil! Fabene! Can't recommend highly enough! Thankyou so much Sasso! 👏👏👏❤

Went here for a celebration meal, beautiful interior, lovely staff (especially young man that had just started, he did really well) tasty food and fab atmosphere. Good choice on the menu and we all enjoyed our meals. Would recommend.

Amazing flavours of all the food we ate. Myself being 18st weight trainer I was upset my RibEye Steak was tiny for £30 no way 10oz. Definitely go again but I'll stick to Italian dishes.

Very quiet. No atmosphere. We had missed the daily specials and only had the Italian menu to choose from. Nothing special and around £70 a couple with a drink. Not impressed to see they added service charge to the bill; and for mediocre service

Came here on a recommendation and so glad we did. Absolutly great place. Ambiance was lovely, staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing. Reasonable price too, can't fault a thing. Will be back with friends and family.

We visited on sat evening . Great atmosphere. Lovely food and excellent service as always from the staff. We had a lovely evening and even though we live near Cibo we would rather travel to Disley . Sasso is so much better . Even though all staff were great a special thanks to Erion who looked after us very well.

Good service, lower tables away from kitchen quieter as on a previous previous visit upstairs table was noisy and echoey, couldn't hold a conversation.

The ambiance, the vibe all very good. It's just that very badly done food let's this place down. Staffs 5 star

Maybe I just went on a busy night given all the good reviews but not seeing it myself. Scallops starter was fine, the main pasta meal could have been knocked up on a £3.50 budget of Tesco value stock. Wine was insanely overpriced for what was on offer. Anyone smoking/vaping was herded out the back in the pitch black with no light up some steep steps because they clearly didn’t want anyone out the front (fair enough but at least offer a viable and safe alternative). Had to ask repeatedly for water on the table and they forgot to bring out one of the party’s main meal. £42 service charge at the end and I’m not entirely sure what that was for because the service provided was the bare minimum. Place was absolutely packed so they must be doing something right but I definitely couldn’t see what it was.

Lovely night out with friends, great atmosphere

Sasso's is a lovely looking place with unusual decor; has a feel of being outdoors in a courtyard but is fully protected from the elements. The staff were very efficient and got everything right, although they seemed a little harried. The output from the kitchen though was very poor: lasagne with no bechamel sauce and very little meat; salmon bunt at one end and smothered in cream so you only find out too late; zucchini frite prepared with old, bitter tasting courgettes. At the prices they are charging (c.£40 a head) the food quality needs to be improved.

Fantastic food amazing service very authentic , brilliant atmosphere .

9 of us visited to celebrate a birthday ( including 2 kids) - great evening - food excellent, tasty and plentiful - great service friendly and very engaging with the kids. Service of food excellent, drinks, etc. overall a great place

We visited back in Feb and the portion sizes were awfully small. This time round it had improved and it was worth the money. The service was a little over attentive, we were asked four times in the first 5 minutes what we would like to drink, we hadn’t even had chance to look at the menu. Mains arrived and one of them was completely the wrong dish, quickly rectified but a shame. Mains were cleared, we were offered desserts which we declined, 1 minute later the bill was dropped on the table. We had full glasses of wine, no offer of another drink or a coffee. Totally understand they need the tables back, it all just felt a little rushed with no care what so ever. Food was amazing though!

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere and absolutely fantastic staff. So nice to see the “main man” back after his 4 week break back home. Another lovely evening where we were all made to feel so welcome.

Great restaurant food was excellent

Nice food, good service attractive surroundings. A bit of a hidden gem

Some of the best Italian food I’ve ever eaten. Lovely place to be and very friendly helpful staff.

Perfect service with good food and a open feel to the restaurant. the front is a bit hidden but but a lot of space for customers. I would recommend!

We went as a family for my Son's 18th birthday. Lovely restaurant, great food and great staff. Thanks for the cake and sparkler. A total surprise!

Excellent food! I had the ribs, T-bone steak and the cheesecake all were excellent, I would definitely recommend that you check out this extravagant place, it was quiet and didn't feel crowded as well.

This is my 2nd time visit. The environment is very nice and family friendly. All the waiters are very friendly. The food is decilious.

Always amazing food and service! Cannot fault it ever. Staff are so welcoming unlike its sister restaurant Cibo which has awful service and staff. Cannot believe there is any connection.

The staff were amazing, food excellent and a lovely restaurant to as a group or couples.

5 star Italian restaurant. Stylish and professional staff.

I really can't fault this place. This was our first visit. What a beautifully presented restaurant - the decor is lovely and the helpful staff are waiting to greet people upon arrival therefore it is a positive experience before you've even sat down! All food and drink orders provided promptly (no long waits) and exactly as requested. The quality of the food is excellent, in particular the Halibut which was the nicest fish I have ever had. Every member of staff we had the pleasure of meeting were all pleasant and attentive, in particular the manager who went above and beyond helping my father (who has mobility issues) in and out of the restaurant. If you haven't been here definitely give it a go. We will be back for sure.

We have only visited here once, but we will definitely be back now that we live in the area. The food is incredible, the service is super quick and the staff are super friendly. The atmosphere is lovely. We booked in really last minute, when the kitchen was about to close and they still let us come in and order what we wanted off the menu, we felt no pressure to hurry along with both ordering and eating. We will definitely be returning!

Top restaurant. Cannot think of a single thing to criticise. Just go and enjoy The courtyard ambience is perfect

The food was amazing and the staff were very accommodating. We had to go through the kitchen as the entrance stairs were too much for two of our group, and I can happily report that it was clean and well organised and full of hard working chefs. Highly recommended
