There's alot happening! At Sassi right now it's all about Citrus, Citrus, Citrus! We continue to not reinvent the wheel yet offer great simple southern Italian fare, without the fuss and without a high dollar next to the tag.

Enjoy half-off all spuntini (appetizers) from Thursday to Saturday at 6 pm, including musical serenades by Frank Smith on our Baby Grand Piano. Frank is a talented jazz musician who has played in the Valley for many years. Enjoy his classic American Jazz and standards. And on Friday at 6 pm experience the upbeat and romantic sounds of Mosaico - Flamenco Guitarist.
