About this place
If fish carpaccio is what brings you to SASUKE, starting with the assorted platter sounds like a good choice. One dinner account describes generous portions of sea bream, salmon and bonito, cut into substantial pieces. The reviewer was pleased with the seasoning, too; paired with a carafe of white wine, it made a satisfying start to the meal.
The fried pasta ordered on the same visit was salted and, the reviewer said, went well with wine. Another dish that left an impression was the oven-roasted chicken thigh, with crisp skin and basil sauce. For a final savoury course, penne arrabbiata offers a spicy kick in a garlic-rich tomato sauce.
The pasta selection also includes beef-tongue Bolognese with tomato sauce, ripe tomato and mozzarella, vongole bianco with an oil-based sauce, and penne Gorgonzola in a cream sauce. Pizzas range from Margherita and seafood to one topped with 4 kinds of cheese and another piled with cured ham—good options for a dinner built around several dishes to share.
Lunch reviews describe a set that pairs pasta or risotto with bread, salad and a drink; one reviewer noted that pasta and risotto portions could be increased at no extra charge. On another visit, a diner ordered a large serving of peperoncino with whitebait and garlic chives, alongside a regular portion of creamy pasta with minced chicken and Chinese cabbage. The accounts suggest that even within the lunch menu, diners can choose both the portion size and the style of dish that suits them. SASUKE is presented as welcoming both solo diners and groups, and its menu makes it easy to build a meal around a particular dish, at lunch or in the evening.
