The Guardian
Grace Dent was thrilled at the prospect of this Glasgow Italian, where 13 different pasta dishes are each matched with a beer from artisan Scottish brewery West, and where a “lengthy list of pizzas, salumi, fritti and salads, makes the whole affair feel like a futuristic Pizza Express built for a brave new world”.
“The menu is irresistible,” she added, “which makes the fact that they cannot cook any of it a huge source of dismay.” This failure started with an absence of seasoning which had Grace reaching repeatedly for the salt and pepper, and only deteriorated from that point.
“There is a dramatic dichotomy between the restaurant Assaggini wants to be – modern, fun, good-quality, here to smash all its competitors out of the pasta playing field – and the joint they’re actually running.”
