Assaggini Di Roma

Another absolutely gem of a Italian restaurant in Monmouth County. Having traveled to Rome for business and pleasure I’ve become a big fan of Roman Style cooking! My favorite restaurant of all my travels is in Rome so stay tuned. But, I digress, Assaggini Di Roma does Roman Style cooking to perfection! I’m a big fan of tripe and they always have it on the menu! BYOB with attentive Staff and wonderful owner Dee! Only note prices on website old and need to be updated per restaurant menu. Still priced fair to portions for value.

However, we were very disappointed by the way ownership acted. We had reservations, had a very nice dinner with friends until when we were finishing our coffee/dessert and the owner is rushing back and forth through the restaurant speaking very loud chanting "we have people waiting to be seated", "there's people packing in the front".... so rude that another table who had only been there for the first time swore not to come back. If there was a seating time limit, they could have told the tables when they arrived, not try and shame them to hurry up, pay the bill and leave. It was at the time when only one more seating would have taken place, and that next table wouldn't be rushed since it was only 745p. They weren't seating anyone after that.... so a few more minutes would not have made a difference for our time slot. Bad approach and really rude move by the owner who typically is nice. If you want people to eat and get out, go back to notifying table time limits so they know, Otherwise, calm down and don't ruin the customers' experience. The service staff and food was excellent. We won't be back for a while. And other tables we spoke to afterward said they won't return..... shame.
