Assaggio's Italian Restaurant

Literally the best Italian takeout in Raleigh. I haven't had Italian food that I didn't make myself since relocating from NY. NY is home to so many authentic Italian restaurants and growing up in a predominantly Italian neighborhood with Italian friends, I can say my standards are pretty high. I decided to order delivery from Assaggio’s after reading all the positive reviews about the hot dishes. I didn't feel like going out for dinner so we had our Friday night feast at home. I ordered the lasagna that came with 2 garlic knots and a fresh salad. Everything was good however I expected more fresh seasoning on the lasagna. It also was not as meaty as I needed it to be. I also ordered a eggplant parmigiana hero. Very good but I was not a fan of the bread. It could have been softer. Lastly, the Tuxedo cake was perfection ! It's moist chocolate cake with a thick white ganache filling and dark chocolate fudge frosting. I need to know which bakery this is from ! I want my wedding cake made t

Baked ziti was extremely flavorful, with a particularly smooth sauce (not too acidic) and just the right size for lunch. Our waitress never let a single beverage in the group run low, even as busy as it was. An awesome lunch overall, definitely adding this to my regular list!

Was able to order from here during the tropical storm of Ian. Our power went out. We greatly appreciate they were able to take our order and have it delivered! First time trying the NY pizza. Very good and generous toppings on the pizza. I know it probably wasn’t their fault due to the storm but it did take awhile and the pizza was cold. That didn’t really bother us considering the circumstances. Just hate we couldn’t heat it in the oven!! Garlic knots and side salad were also great. Will definitely order again considering it’s just a couple minutes away from my house!
