Sassella

Sassella is a gem in Santa Fe, bringing the authentic flavors of Italy’s Valtelline Valley right to your table. The restaurant, named after a small village in Northern Italy known for its rugged vineyards, reflects the robust and enduring spirit of its namesake. Chef Christian Pontiggia, originally from this region, masterfully blends tradition with innovation, drawing on his experience from Michelin-starred restaurants. Our dining experience was nothing short of excellent. The food was superb, and the service was top-notch. The staff’s coordination was impressive—they cleared the table, brought out food, and refilled water with precision. We savored the lobster soup, a custom vegan/gluten-free dish created by the chef, and the Mushroom Carbonara. Each dish was a testament to the chef’s dedication to authenticity and flavor. The atmosphere at Sassella is cozy, and sitting outside made our meal even more enjoyable, thanks to the perfect weather and charming ambiance. I highly recommend Sassella for its outstanding service, delicious food, and the rich culinary history it brings to Santa Fe.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant with incredibly delicious food. The service was exceptional and our experience was really delightful! We were there celebrating our anniversary. We started with cocktails and Caesar salads! The entrees we choose were the sea bass and the beef tenderloin-they were off the charts excellent! Gluten free options and vegetarian options! We will be back!
