A taste of Italy @ Sassorosso

Posted by CuriousCats / at 2:16 PM / /

We are both avid Italian food lovers, and the moment he stumbled upon a restaurant which has wood fired oven pizza, we just can't say no! Sassorosso is located at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng in a nice, quaint bungalow which makes the ambiance very warm and classy at the same time. We both opted for al-fresco dining that night since the weather was perfect and there's nothing more romantic than a candle-light dinner in the lush greenery of the surroundings :-)


A selection of bread given to dip in extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.. i particularly love the crispy triangular thin bread which has a sprinkle of salt on it!

My meemos enjoying his bread!

and..Me! with the thirst quenching watermelon juice.


For starters, we choose scallops served on top of a bed of vege or officially in the menu as pan fried scallops with Belgium endive and taleggio fondue. This dish was drizzled with creamy sauce that got both of us going gaga... it was delish! to say the least.

We shared both our mains that night, as we usually do.. he chose this ravioli dish which had the most delicious sauce ever, although we can't remember the name of the dish. Sadly, this tasted soo good that we both didnt manage to snap a picture before it entered our tummies.

And of course, the main reason we dined here was to have their infamous wood fire oven pizza. We selected "SASSOROSSO" which consists of Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Escargots, Marinated Mushrooms, Prawns and Fresh Basil. Yummy!
We were so stuffed by the time the pizza came that we didnt even manage to finish it which was why we didnt get any desserts...well, maybe next time! We both would definately come here again for the fresh food, great service and romantic ambiance :-)
