Reviews for SASA Cafe Italiano - Restaurant in Hollywood, FL

It was selected as the best restaurant in the downtown Hollywood area for a reason. I can tell you that excellent is NOT enough!... Because the city is building a new development there they have had to move , but hopefully they will find a place soon! Theirconcept is different! Food out of the world ( homemade REAL Italian food) Read more

This place is seriously a SECRET. It's never packed, which always surprises me because it's so eclectic and decorated with... nothing but personal touches. Their coffees are delicious. My friend had the chocolate amaretto orange cake, simply one of themost original combination of flavors ever, and I had lentil soup, truly tasty. Read more

The potential of this restaurant to be a 10 stars experience is HUGE GOOD- 1. Restaurant is BEAUTIFUL and very unique. Perfect... for intimate celebration (32 Bday for my man with 9 of our friends) 2. Delicious food. Special flavors. Feels like my boyfriendItalian Grandpa cooked for us. 3. Food was made fast and came in perfect timing (Brusketas to ease our starving stomachs, thensalads and the main courses that we shared came all together) NEEDS TO IMPROVE AND EASY TO IMPROVE- 1. Lacking some of the COREelements in the Italian kitchen No bread served, no Balsamic & olive oil (even when we asked for it) No Fresh Basil! Which is myFAVORITE ???? Caprese salad was not a traditional Caprese. There were way more GREENS than any of the traditional ingredientsand way too similar to the other salad that we ordered. 2. NO MUSIC ???? Music is HUGE at setting the tone and contributing tothe experience. 3. All 4 desserts were NOT TASTY and of us 10 agreed upon that. Why making such great good with such poordesserts in an ITALIAN restaurant were desserts should be INCREDIBLE?!! There was NO pistachios in any of the desserts either.One of the best ingredients in the Italian kitchen. 4. Server was polite but we all agreed he seemed to be going throughsomething. Leave your troubles at home and come with a smile! We are here to have a good time and the Server can contribute tothe experience big time. Read more

Sasa IS art! The food’s incredible, made from scratch daily. The vibe is quaint and romantic. The service was awesome - it’s... a family business and it shows. And don’t even get me started on desserts - mouthwatering! We had a lovely date night thereon a Friday in April. Had cute table in one of the house rooms all to ourselves. And just the right amount of attention from theteam. We had the lobster ravioli and the veggie risotto. Both were ridiculously delicious and light. The tiramisu was thebomb! Not often do I leave an Italian restaurant feeling light. But this food was made with love and care and didn’t feelheavy. It’s now our new favorite date night place in Hollywood. Make sure to make a reservation! Read more

Yesterday, I had lunch with my girlfriend on this hidden gem, the reviews that we saw while we were looking for a place to eat... were right, the food is unique, the place is cozy and different and the attention is superb. It’s a family-owned business, runby themselves. The chef is Italian, so if you're in Hollywood and you want to try authentic Italian food, give this place achance, trust me you won't regret it.

Always looking for interesting places. On Google, it was near my home. But I've never heard of him. I decided to stop by and... have a look. When I arrived, for a long time I could not understand how to go there and where to park the car. From the streetthis is a completely inconspicuous building, I would never say that once inside, I will be speechless. Inside I saw somethinglike a museum. I even clarified if food is served here and if it is a restaurant. I was sitting by the window, there was astory everywhere, someone's story. Figures, boats, clocks, vases, old telephones. All this gave an exotic atmosphere. As ifreceived 100 years ago. Highly recommend . Read more

Great decor inside and a nice private feel as my 5 friends and I had dinner in one of their indoor rooms. Reservation was for... 7.30pm and we enjoyed dinner and wine. We did not get checked on often, and at around 9.15pm after seeking some attention fromour server.... who was busy with his cell phone along with some other staff members, we found out that the restaurant wasclosing in 15 minutes. No real time for another bottle of wine or relaxing dessert. I was disappointed by this; had the serverchecked in a little sooner or often - even asking if we wanted anything additional from the kitchen before closing time, wewould have been better prepared. So we paid and left finishing our evening somewhere else. 9.30pm closing felt early for aFriday night... food was delicious... Please note this is pasta restaurant and they specialize in many varieties of ravioli ontheir menu, and not so many other options. Small and intimate... it has potential and maybe we didn't get the best service onthis night... but doesn't mean I wouldn't give it another chance. Read more
