Description

Grand, resort-like Italian restaurant at the foot of Pinnacle Peak, next to its culinary country cousin Pinnacle Peak Patio. The opulent stone, wood and leather interior is somewhat overbearing, but the service is friendly and the southern Italian-style cuisine is quite affordable considering the surroundings. Entrees tend to be on the bland side, but the appetizers, whether they fall under the headings of antipasti, verdure or insalata, are scrumptious. And the desserts are superb. The owners dropped a nice chunk of change on this place, and it's worth seeing, but until they improve the entrees, stick to the starters, several of which will leave you as fat and happy as Paul Prudhomme with a plate of pastries.

    Just glancing at Sassi's dramatic entranceway, with its gurgling fountains, elegant lighting, and rustic courtyard leading to a heavy wooden door, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was an over-the-top private estate or, perhaps, even a resort. Indeed, this restaurant takes "destination dining" quite literally, not only because it's located in the most scenic northern stretch of Scottsdale, with lovely views of Pinnacle Peak, but also because the property itself transports customers to the Mediterranean. Inside, luxurious furnishings in a series of rooms only add to the feeling that this might not be a restaurant at all, but perhaps a mansion belonging to some aristocratic gourmand who happens to enjoy 24-month gran reserve prosciutto, handmade orechiette with sausage, grilled free-range veal chops, and nice bottles of Italian wine whenever the mood strikes. Yes, this place is pure fantasy fodder, but luckily folks with a taste for artisanal cheeses, fresh pasta, local produce, and premium meats can live the dream, too — as long as they're willing to spend real money for it.
