L'ASSAGIO

Un restaurant italien, spécialisé plus précisément dans la cuisine piémontaise, région aujourd'hui voisine mais hier sœur du pays des deux Savoies.

Les cocktails proposés en entrée sont tout d'abord très élégants et bien réfléchis, la mixologie y est parfaitement maîtrisée et jouée.

Concernant le menu, il est très bien équilibré et le service est plutôt rapide.
Le plat signature, des sortes de ravioles piémontaises et savoyardes aux viandes de bœuf, porc et veau est absolument incontournables et son bouillon l'accompagne parfaitement.

J'ai beaucoup aimé le dessert aussi, très léger, tout en ayant beaucoup de sabeurs.

Le service est attentionné et délicat, je recommande pour une excellente soirée, qui plus est dans un cadre (l'hôtel de Castille) splendide à quelques mètres de Tuileries.

Restaurant se trouvant dans un hôtel 5 étoiles, la qualité gustative est sans conteste hélas le service laisse à désirer.
Nos plats principaux ne sont pas arrivés en même temps dû l’obligation de commencer à manger en différé !
Ayant commandé 2 camomille, eau pas chaude, pour le cadre une tasse illy, peut mieux faire, et enfin l’addition est fausse.

Le manger très bon, mais malheureusement le service reste à désirer

Joli cadre avec une belle vue sur leur cour intérieure mais c'est insipide dans l'assiette. Cuisine très décevante.

Had dinner here on the Christmas Eve.

Atmosphere was nice but the placement of our table was not great. It was situated right next to the water cabinet. Being a Christmas Eve, the place was busy and due to the rush, the servers would open and close the cabinets harshly which made it really noisy.

From my experience, this place comes across as a set meal casual dining rather than fine dining.

Service was alright, server was nice. But upon arrival, there was no one to attend to us. After some time, someone came and asked us to sit by the entrance sofas. As we waited for at least 15minutes, it started to get ridiculous and we made our way to the counter to question why our table wasn’t ready. Only then, they checked and brought us to our table. Minus one star by then.

However, I must applaud a service staff who was much more professional and seemed to be the manager. He didn’t throw our plates on the table like other staffs did and also gently ensured our utensils were straight. He seemed to appeared halfway through the meal and was checking on every table when he can.

Food was..not good haha.
Pumpkin cream with tangerine was alright but nothing interesting.

Starter, The carpaccio dish was warm and the amberjack fish was not tender. The whole plate felt..bland. I was also quite mad that the dish had a terribly sour lime and multiple seeds. Personally, I hate when chefs include ingredients solely for presentation. Because I actually thought the lime was supposed to go with the dish and tried to eat it, ffs.

Mains, Lobster ravioli was alright. The fillings and sauce was nice but the ravioli itself was undercooked so the pasta was hard and inedible.

Mains, Guinea fowl. Ive included photos of the uncooked meat. Also, I really don’t know what the meat filling was, but it was so dry and tasteless…Further, the truffles were not stuffed as described in menu, but instead grated on top of the meat. Mash potato was not creamy and fluffy..GRR

Dessert, Panettone with cinnamon ice cream. Couldn’t taste one bit of cinnamon and the panettone was as hard as a rock.

For $105pp, it was a waste of money. We also ordered couple of cocktails, which were alright but not tasty.

I did mention the food was not great to the server but he responded nonchalantly that it’s not for everyone. I get it though, because there are many who rate this place on google review, but I am just not one of them.

I will not be back. But not like they care lol.
