Extremely disappointed with tonights service!
Been coming here for years as a couple and also with family ( 3 times within the last 6 months to be precise)
I made a complaint to a staff member this evening at the end of our meal away from earshot of other customers which I think is a fair thing to do. I explained that we were disappointed tonight as we felt we had been ignored at our table. When we arrived we waited for 15 minutes before we was even asked if we would like a drink let alone order for food. The gentleman I expressed my concerns to replied saying well we dont like to rush

Recently moved to High Lane and it was my wife's birthday today. Found Sasso on Google and went there tonight. I can't rate Sasso highly enough. Setting, service, food and drinks absolutely outstanding. Lobster was stunning. Well done Sasso, you made our evening perfect. Thank you! I can't understand why people moan about the price. You get what you pay for.... This is high end food and is for me, reasonable. If you want KFC go to Hazel Grove. I also asked to tip and the guy said already included which stunned me considering what we had been served. I said add 20. Well deserved. Well worth

Fantastic Italian restaurant in the village of Disley. Staff are brilliant, attentive and professional and the food is superb. Great wine list with lots of choice. No matter what you want from an Italian restaurant Sasso will not disappoint. Thanks .. another great night!

First real meal out since covid started in 2020. The food was great and for mid week the place had a nice atmosphere. I went fir the ribs to start which tasted great, then the seafood pasta after. I couldn't finish it all as I was full. Really nice place with friendly staff, and tasty food.
