Assaggetti, in the heart of Haymarket, is an exciting new Italian tapas bistro with friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere, boasting unpretentious food in a traditional chicchetti style restaurant. We disappeared downstairs where it was less crowded and we could unwind with a drink or two..

Last Thursday evening, I took the Five Five Fabulous team out for dinner and the restaurant of choice? Assaggetti, a new Italian restaurant in London’s Haymarket. Italian cuisine is always a favourite of mine and after hearing great things about Assaggetti, I knew we were in for a treat. The dining floor is decorated in a traditional, cosy and authentic feel and we were seated in a beautiful table behind a wall of mirrors.
