About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighborhood gem

Sasso Restaurant is an award winning restaurant. It was set up by Brian Ferguson, daughter Sara Ferguson and her then husband, Stefano Lancellotti who we very sadly lost in 2023. Sara and Stefano's son Nico is now also in the kitchen showing his father's flair and skill in cooking under the watchful eye of talented head chef, Chris Emery. With approximately 100 seats including 2 function rooms there is space for everyone to enjoy our gourmet, freshly made Italian food and friendly efficient service. There is a wide range of choice on the menu with starters, home made pasta dishes in small and main course sizes, meat and fish main courses and a range of delicious home made desserts. The wine list is also well researched and mainly Italian.
We await you to show you a warm welcome and serve you delicious food and wine!

What a very lovely evening! Not been for a few years, but wanted to try again and was not disappointed at all. The staff were very friendly on arrival, and service was immediate. Timing between courses was perfect too. The waiting staff were excellent and attentive throughout the evening, all with constant smiles which add to the ambiance and dining experience. The food was very nice indeed, well presented and perfectly cooked, albeit ever so slightly more generous portions would be nicer, but all in all a most enjoyable evening which I would happily recommend to anyone. Thank you Sasso’s.

Sasso feels like a hidden gem to me. I have lived in the town and never been but i will definitely be going again! Food, service and ambience just great. I am coeliac and most of the dishes were possible for me. Other guests in the party all normal menu but enjoy great wine of which there was good choice and advice. Just a little picky point - we were sat right at the bottom of the restaurant in the far room and it was chilly tbh esp when the door to the kitchen opened and closed. There were spaces in the higher part of the restaurant but when asked we were unable to move to them for some reason....when i go again I would only sit on the top part of the restaurant. Overall though it was fantastic. Highly recommend

The restaurant was quite empty but I suspect that was because we were eating just a few days before Valentine’s Day. It certainly deserves to be full every night. The welcome was warm and the restaurant was comfortable. One of our main course choices was not available but that meant we could enjoy some of the best pasta I have ever eaten. The food was of a very high standard and the wine excellent and not over priced. In fact the meal was exceptional value and very tasty. I do recommend this restaurant which is a little tucked away being as you descend off the street to the entrance. Well worth it when you find it however.
