A new Italian restaurant, Assaggini, has opened on Rose Street, Edinburgh.
According to the venue, it focuses on “fresh and flavourful” small plates, using a blend of both Scottish and Italian ingredients for pizzas and pasta dishes.
The venue is styled using upcycled furnishings and offers a “casual yet contemporary” dining experience across two floors for over 160 guests.
In addition, the restaurant also provides an option for private dining, as well as bookings for events in the downstairs area.
Assaggini caters to families and offers options for vegetarians and vegans, as the menu include dishes such as paccheri piccante pasta in a mascarpone and ‘nduja sauce, fettuccine funghi e tartufo pasta with mixed mushrooms, garlic and truffle; and pizza with mortadella, pistachio and burrata.
Side dishes also include spicy ‘nduja fries, and a parma ham and buffalo mozzarella focaccia.
The wine list features “the best of” Italian wine to complement the selection of dishes on the menu, alongside an extensive list of classic cocktails.
