Sassi

Sassi is strikingly designed to resemble a Tuscan villa, and the food is just as striking. Just try dishes like orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe. Many of the pasta dishes feature house-made pasta like like orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe, manicotti with four Italian cheeses, and grilled pork chop and halibut in Vapore. Do you feel a Mediterranean breeze? It's blowing in with the wood-roasted calamari.

Sassi's bar now offers its half-price antipasti from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday with $7 glasses of wine for the fall/winter season. The Sunday feature said the half-priced antipasti is Tuesdays through Sundays, which is for the summer.
